yeah but...

doctoral swords

dude!

you're saying the democrats gave universities more money and this *caused* tuition rates to go up?

do you even try to think about the ignorant propaganda that is fed to you?

university costs have risen at all universities. why have they risen at private ones genius?

you don't understand the topic, nevermind basic cause and effect

and now that republicans are cutting funding, where do you think they will make up income? where do you think bright poor kids with good grades will go to school now? oh right, fuck them, they're daddy doesn't contribute to a PAC

do you see the fucking slashdot topic we're commenting under right now? do you see the problem? do you think countries that have good STEM programs are cutting funding to education? how much do children in those countries pay for higher education? evil "socialist" countries?

braindead republicans, ruining the country

terrorists took down the world trade center with boxcutters

you don't seem to understand what determination means

seriously

this is the terrorist attack of 2215 or 2315

i'm no luddite, technological advance gives us just as much good as bad

but as we advance further and further, the power to do greater and greater good, and greater and greater evil, will be in the hands of smaller and smaller groups of people

such that some deranged cult will be able to kill us all in a few centuries. and then one of them will choose to do that

man, we really have to get off this planet

we need an insurance policy badly

unfortunately, republican state houses across the country are cutting down on funding state universities

etc., etc.

so tuition will increase and quality will decrease, and those who are bright but come from limited backgrounds will wind up working in retail or fast food instead of becoming good STEM candidates

of course, this makes sense, as poor and stupid is the republican base

copy finland

whatever they do, we do the same

#1 thing we should copy from finland's universities:

i mean, that's just awesome. if we gave our graduates swords, i think they would try harder, right?

all joking aside, we really should just copy finland

fuck japan, it's a closed society and a stifling culture that doesn't have anything to translate to our own

but finland, we can just copy their system wholesale

yup, well said

the door should stay

as you say, an unlocked door does not prevent suicidal-homicidal pilots, but does prevent murderous hijacking

or look at norway and breivik. norway has good gun laws

but the point isn't to do away with the chance of bad things completely. the point is to reduce the number of incidents

if we have good compliance with seatbelt laws, injuries go down. we can't make injuries 0% though. so no one should wear a seatbelts? seatbelts are a horrible liberal government intrusion into our lives, into our laps, evil and freedom destroying? or just common fucking sense?

same with guns laws: do the bare minimum to ensure you're dealing with a responsible, trained person, then give them a gun

bad things will still happen

but far less bad things than the usa's current status quo of too loose gun laws

proof: the experience of all of our social and economic peers

"well-regulated militia"

what exactly is confusing to you about that term you purposefully ignorant fuck?

the entire world looks at us gun laws as a joke. we suffer unnecessary deaths due to guns every day. the clear intent of the founders is not our status quo. all of the lies about the benefits are guns are outweighed by the obvious facts of the hell of too many easy guns

we will have the founder's intent. is not what you want, irresponsibly

"hey! good news! we used to have 100 million termites. but today, we have 95 million... please ignore the houses next door with only 20, 30, and 15 million termites"

explain that chart. go ahead. good luck

we will have adherence to the second amendment. as the founders intended: sensible control and training. not as the second amendment has been rewritten by constitutional activists in the last 50 years who think irresponsibility with guns is a virtue for magic reasons

do you own guns? then you believe responsible gun use is mandatory to own a gun. right?

(snicker)

"Liberals Guide to Doublespeak" as you call it is an actual better understanding of the second amendment and the intent of the ofunders

this moronic conservative idea that irresponsibility with guns is somehow magically a better world is the real problem, and not all what the second amendment supports

and it will not last. you can't defy simple common sense forever

the guy who offs himself out of depression is understandable/ relatable

the guy who offs his children/ wife or a plane load of people, then himself, is not understandable/ relatable. he deserves condemnation

the most depressed person in the world will not take people with them

a depressed person who is also a narcissist, or a schizophrenic person who is not even depressed, those are type who kill others and themselves. in which case the fact they kill others means we stop sympathizing with them

look at this chart

do you see a problem?

maybe we should control guns better, like all of our peers? what is the big hang up?

all easy guns in the usa means is far more homicides

does it mean lower rape? lower robbery?

then how come our peers with far fewer guns have the same approximate rates of rape and robbery as us?

why aren't societies with strong gun controls drowning in rape and robbery like your hysteria says?

extra guns does not mean less crime

it means extra unnecessary homicide

the simple facts are clear on that

in fact in the uk, they have SLIGHTLY higher violence rates than us

which i would love to have if it meant far lower homicides!

because violence is a broken arm or a broken nose. homicide is a body bag

all people like you mean to me is: you think every single altercation has to escalate to someone being dead. why? why is this a better society in your opinion? it's not a better society. it's just extra death for no reason

ah

here in the usa, that's becoming more common, but traditionally it is due to social issues

but i stand corrected for a biased judgment, so thank you
