I can't believe these words are exiting my IP:
Good job, Taylor!
Choosing not to own a weapon, and being against their legalization, may not be the identical position.
It isn't, but that's not really the point. "Legalisation" is such a useless term, no-one is advocating complete illegalisation of weapons, even civilised countries allow their citizens to own certain weapons. But I think most people believe some level of control needs to be implemented, More control than currently exists in the US.
I suspect many non-owners would reconsider, for instance, if it became necessary to hunt for their meat.
Yeah great, but what does that have to do with anything? Many people think violent crime is a lot worse than it is. So what does that tell us about the value of people's opinions? http://www.pewresearch.org/fac...
This debate concerning a citizen's right to weaponry is as polarizing as those of political and religious topics. People on both sides of the argument (with entrenched belief sets) are often unable to process new evidence of a contradictory sort.
Yeah great. So you've done nothing to remedy that fact except whinge about it....
Hhhmmm. Combined grammatical use of z in "citizen", the s in "legalisation", and the g in whinge.
I discern from these clues you are a careless, yet educated Brit with a stunted ability to appreciate any humor near the self-deprecation side of the scale.
I had ordered something over the internet from a company I had previously turned some trade with , and this latest transaction initiated a request for some photo ID to go with the bank card. Or. You can pay with Paypal.
I believe it's statistically safer to use Umbrella Corporations like Amazon and Paypal, than to leave too much info in too many different hands.
As their de facto monopoly on popular opinion increases, it will become more efficient to cater to the masses through this venue unless a viable competitor is developed.
Verifying identities is very much to the advantage of a company who sells its members personal information.
This is not a position of advocacy for one side of the debate in particular, merely an observation for your reflection.

The price of that equation is that, eventually, some of those legal weapons wind up in the irresponsible hands of the extremely antisocial.
If that is a trade-off the population can live with, then so be it. Each is free in a way of their choosing.
If I'm the shooter, it was nearly a hit.
If I'm the target, "Whew, just missed me."
No one wants to see a poor, single mother be unable to feed her children,
Oh, I think you are underestimating the vastness and ubiquity of porn fetishes available on the Internet. There is for sure a Tube devoted to this somewhere on the Internet.
Well hell, that's why I surf here... to broaden my horizons, as it were.
You never have to use them.
That's way better regulation than the consumer drones will likely get from this legislation.
Timing, it seems, isn't everything after all.
Posting the first inane thing that comes into your head doesn't deserve the top of the page automagically. This is Slashdot. Post smart or go home.
No one wants to see a hard working man injured on the job and thus unable to care for his family.... but there are many abusers of the system who collect monthly disability checks to augment a lifestyle that clashes with making it to work every morning.
Bottom line for me (and YMMV) is that though charity and paying it forward can be abused, that's no reason to punish the well deserving recipient.
Great reference, wrong thread. The problem you've highlighted is exactly what this "$100,000,000" thread is about. I recommend reading the OP before commenting:
What does that amount to? A month? A week's worth of revenue? Show some teeth dammit! Revoke their charter...
Punishment theatre is a meme that describes the faux appearance of a severe penalty.
I don't have to be correct. I just don't want you to be mistaken.
The most incredible thing about the filming from that height and orbital speed is that we're really not that surprised. Barely impressed, perhaps.
Poor science... we've set the bar so high.
