I predict this pandemic will never end....
We must wear masks and social distance and keep businesses closed until we reach a 0% infection rate.  And after that so we never have another infection.  Science says so.  It's for the children!

I say something, you ask me for a source, so I get one.  Ohh, that's the wrong source!  Has to come from Alex Jones or Breitbart or some such.  Or it has to match your. preconceived notions.

Whatever.
Come on.  You're an academic.  How about an unbiased source?  My ass can be a source to pull stuff from, but it's hardly unbiased.

Spin Zone / Re: Automatic Rifles? Really?
« on: March 25, 2021, 09:32:29 AM »
Total BS.  Folks in America are shot with all kinds of firearms.  There is only one item of commonality that link nearly all of them.  The vast majority of firearm victims in the US are known to their assailants.  Half are suicides.  The incidents of malefactors shooting masses of people with assault rifles are outliers, most assault rifle owners are law-abiding citizens acting well within their rights.  Indeed most firearm owners are law-abiding citizens acting responsibly within their rights.  There are as many firearms in circulation in the US as there are people.  If America was how the media portrays us we'd be at war.

I agree but I don’t think this conflicts with what little Joe said. I think he meant these outlier mass shootings are never with a fully automatic rifle, yet the media throws around the term “automatic”, conflating semi-auto with fully auto and of course the gen pub are too stupid to parse the difference.  They see on their TV shows these scary looking “assault rifles” on full auto all the time.

I met Mikey some years back at Oshkosh. Actually good person except for his politics.

He's a decent if quiet guy in person, but his net presence is a bit Napoleonic (if that's a word).

Dr. Fauci did not respond, other than to say that the threat of presumed “variants” of the virus might still possibly be able to infect the vaccinated.

And an asteroid could hit tomorrow and wipe us all out. There comes a point we have to ignore ever diminishing risk and get back to living.

What’s your point? Do you disagree with the following parts I bolded from the article?

His point is to be a condescending prick, not actually respond.

I doubt any of your would recognize real science if walked up and bit you in the ass.

lol - does "real science" include correct spelling?

So as congress now pushes a huge gun control bill through, we are seeing mass shootings in the news.
Lost on the masses is these mass shootings actually prove the point of the pro-2A advocates. Police cannot protect you, and bad guys will ALWAYS get guns.

The reality is that the goal is a disarmed proletariat is no threat to the bourgeoisie and the state. It has nothing to do with protecting people in a grocery store.

Spin Zone / Re: Edward Snowden interview with John Stossel
« on: March 21, 2021, 09:11:06 AM »
edit:  and even without signing any document, it is my understanding that it is illegal for anyone to knowingly reveal classified information.

"anyone" means you, me, and everyone else.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._United_States:

Quote
New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713 (1971), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court on the First Amendment. The ruling made it possible for The New York Times and The Washington Post newspapers to publish the then-classified Pentagon Papers without risk of government censorship or punishment.[1]
President Richard Nixon had claimed executive authority to force the Times to suspend publication of classified information in its possession. The question before the court was whether the constitutional freedom of the press, guaranteed by the First Amendment, was subordinate to a claimed need of the executive branch of government to maintain the secrecy of information. The Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment did protect the right of The New York Times to print the materials.[1]

You might call him a hero, but he failed to honor the oath he swore.

You can try to justify it any way you want, but that person is without honor.

No. As a contractor, not a federal employee, Snowden did not take the Oath of Office and swear to uphold and defend the Constitution. All he did was sign a secrecy agreement, promising not to disclose classified information. That’s not the same thing. He did break that promise but in his mind, in doing so he was defending the Constitution, even though he hadn’t sworn to defend it.

There is debate about whether contractors to Federal agencies should swear the oath, as more and more work is being farmed out, but to my knowledge this hasn’t happened yet and in any case wasn’t in place in 2013 to apply to Snowden.

It's just a small yellow Star of David.  Just a scrap of cloth.  You guys act like it's a ball and chain.  Now be quiet and get in the cattle car.

It’s just a red cap that says “Make America Great Again” on it. Harmless enough. So a few people wearing them get attacked and beaten. No biggie.

Are you saying Zuckerberg has made illegal campaign contributions?
More likely that Dinesh D'Souza made legal campaign contributions, like Zuckerberg, but was charged because he is an outspoken conservative.  Thus, Zuckerberg's lawyer must have been better than D'Souza's or D'souza would not have been convicted.

The amount of vitriol here over masks is amusing.  Naught but a small scrap of cloth, and you guys act like it's a ball and chain.  Surprised you don't raise a stink about having to wear pants.

I like Andrew Wilcow, he's got the same fire in his belly.
