I see more to worry about from PTSD and mental illness in our vets than the fact that the guy smoked pot. Of course. But every single article is framed as "vet faces life in prison for growing weed". I am talking dozens of articles that ignore the violence to make a rallying cry about the...

Should every country really take it on the chin for wartime atrocities? War is hell, afterall. They did in the old days. Genuinely, the conclusion of most pre 1800s wars resulted in reparations being paid over. It was not that odd a concept, frankly. Usually as a concession from the loser to stop t...

You didn't commit acts specifically, but you did benefit from the situation that created. I mean, we are effectively talking nation states or possibly federal groupings and their ascribed guilt or non-guilt, which is why any discussion revolves almost exclusively around the guilt of YOU as a person...

This doesn't even seem to be about saying or believing things to get drugs... no, not really. it's more about defending someone who was doing drugs. but i think foo was just trying to lump it into a larger discussion. But the assclown in question doesn't even seem to be doing any actions out of mot...

I am far right, in that I would cut half the people off of disability within two years, and make many significant cuts.

The public are such whiny titty babies that they consider a 2% increase in a departmental budget versus a 5% increase to be a draconian cut.

i think that internet communities and the members involved tend to be polarized one way or the other, and they argue their points more aggressively or stubbornly than they would in day to day life, at least for the most part. and i say that with only hmf to point to, really. i'm not really a part o...

Also,

I want my weed, so it is definitely medicine, helps people, and should be legal!

Also, consider this:

Trump people knew he was going to win. Every major media outlet was saying Clinton was going to run away with it. What should those Trump supporters have believed?

Sounds like a very flawed study. Both Clinton and Trump have been incredibly famous for decades. People have had a lot of time to form opinions about them. New information introduced must weigh that against the source, which many perceive to be an incredibly biased and unreliable media (not just Tru...

i can't really agree in holding people responsible for the deeds of others, because they happen to have lived in the same area, or have some other similarity to you. if there is a decision made by a group to apologize or to pay reparation for harm done in the past, then that's cool. but i don't thi...

Because everyone agrees chasing a woman with a knife is bad, but the debate is surrounding the drug. You know, the miracle drug that cures everything and never hurt anyone. yeah, everyone agrees that attacking a woman with a knife is bad, but are you going to give the stink eye to anyone who has a ...

Yes, it's about time we addressed the rampant violence in the stoner community. You wish those losers would turn to a less harmful, mellow substance like alcohol. How about we get away from the idea that answers to life's problems are found in a joint, bottle, or pill? I do not support alcohol abus...

Google the guy's name. Tell me how many articles portray him as a victim of the system versus the number that point out he was behaving like a violent psychopath and then upon being released ignored his court date. Dozens and dozens of articles stating how he faces life in prison for a small amount...
