Does it matter that Brazil and Germany aren't enemies of the U.S.? Also, he's being forced into that position since it's literally his only chance of not being tortured in U.S. prisons. I give him a pass for that.

It's not 'flamebait' just because you disagree with it. This man drinks the kool-aid that the Obama administration is serving, that if the press releases any information that could theoretically be used by our enemies, then they're traitors. When smart people read about Snowden's leaks, they realize there's nothing specific about the leaks that could possibly help any enemy, unless they were stupid enough to think the U.S. wasn't capable of doing these things. Despite what some corrupt judge says, this a clear violation of the 4th amendment and has been used to spy on the press, and, who knows, probably political opponents as well. If the NSA is 'infinitely weaker', then it's only politically, not on the basis that they can't protect the U.S. effectively, if they ever cared about that anyway. If Snowden's leaks cause political damage to the NSA and the Obama Administration then that's almost proof that, by the very nature of a democracy, the leaks were justified. If Snowden has to leak to Russia or China (which there's no evidence of) to continue to survive, then that's the result of the U.S's ridiculous policy toward leakers.

it'll have to be regulated to hell, because drones can carry bombs too, and it could be almost impossible to track down who detonated it unless every drone in the sky was monitored and licensed. I don't like fear mongering, but sooner or later, this is probably going to happen somewhere if anyone's allowed to have a drone.

"I'd like that" is not the same as "I think it's just" :) I would definitely love to see that

I think the OP meant anyone who was being criminally negligent or just malicious. If a security guard shoots a random person for no reason, he should be just as liable as the company he works for, if not moreso. Or if a software engineer puts a backdoor into his company's software so he can steal stuff from customers, then that software engineer should go to jail. I've never seen any insinuation that a random accidental bug should lead to developer jail time.

Wrong. Mine was impeccable.

True, but he's saying that all the shootings happened in gun free zones, therefore, gun free zones have caused the shootings. What I'm saying is that there could have even been more shootings without gun free zones. I honestly don't have any reason to believe that's true or false, but if he's going to bother to make an argument, he might as well try to be logical.

This means if it comes to a revolution (and honestly, I don't know what you are all waiting for)

The purpose of the second amendment is so that we defend the second amendment. The other amendments are for hippies.

There are many great defenses for gun rights, but the second amendment one is ridiculous. Few people are suicidal enough to try and attack the U.S. government with guns.

People like to play with toys everywhere in the world. The question is not who likes to play with the toys, but who stockpiles them as a result of paranoid insecurity or in anticipation of some apocolyptic disaster. Americans no doubt rule on the latter counts. (before you mod me down, i think every man, woman and child should have a cocked and loaded gun at all times; the fault of gun violence is not the guns, but our screwed up society)

Your reasoning is faulty. We don't know how effective a ban on guns in schools are until we lift the ban on guns. If the number of school shootings go up, then it was effective. If it goes down, then it was ineffective.

I removed my facebook app, because my phone would buzz once or twice a day on random posts from 'friends' I barely know. Words With Friends kept buzzing with pointless notifications too. In short, if I can't just forget I have it and use it when i want, then I'll uninstall it.

like many sharp guys, he seems to have entered his obsessive pseudoscience and grandiosity phase

Which is exactly why this may be a fascinating language. Even if it's completely absurd and impractical, whatever ideas he's cooking up may at least be entertaining and/or thought-provoking.

Could you be more specific or you just don't have a good response?

I'm not sure what Davy Jones (the guy from the Monkees?) has to do with this, but the Democrats in the house and senate are looking pretty good after the shutdown debacle. I'd be willing to bet that polls will reflect the public blaming Obama for the Obamacare issues, and not congress. What little political capital the republicans gain from this will be ruined by whatever insane things GOP house members like Ted Cruz do or say from now until 2014.

now that we're forced to pick up their tab

We already were under the medicare/medicaid program and the costs of their emergency room visits that are spread out to the rest of us.
