Comment Re:I'll bet the lawsuits are already written (Score 2) 121

Sorry. That's a straw man. If you use government to stiffle your competitors it's called "mercantilism." It was mercantilism that free market capitalism was rebelling against.

You win all your fights because you're fighting a stationary straw man. Try taking on the real arguments in favor of capitalism.

Either that or the NYTimes and BBC are bullsh!ting.

br> The MSM is getting killed by youtubes - styxhexxenhammer, tim pool and others are eating their lunch. They're barely holding on even with getting their videos promoted by youtube and their opponents getting banned. Lauren Southern, whatever you may think about her opinions, has done excellent journalism. For instance, you watch as she's escorted out of an area because she's not of that religion and not dressed according to that religion's standards. (I'll let you get which religion it is. ) Again, whether you like her views or not - this is true investigative journalism.

You obviously have no clue about what you're talking about. In the cities people do take bicycles to the train. In the suburbs, if you live close enough to the train you could as well. But if you live 15 miles away from the train (in hilly territory) you're asking too much for someone to cycle to the train. People easily live a mile or two from a main road (on which a bus would come). So now you have to ride a bike; bring it on the bus; get off by the train station and take a train. Yeah. right. They're lazy kunts for not doing that.

You don't realize that the US is the size of Europe, from Sweden to Greece and from Ireland to Russia (the Ural mountains).

Travelling 30 miles to work is commonplace (in fact that's a short commute). It doesn't make economic sense to have buses for such a low population level. But you should know that - take a look at the yellow-vest uprising in France. They have to commute a long way by car.

Why don't you consider them a bunch of dumb-fuks? (Sh!t, you probably do.)

You think that people ridding the subway are "entitled"?

And you do realize that fatness is not an American problem anymore. It's a post-physical labor problem. Second - obesity is based on BMR. And (for better or worse) Americans who go to the gym focus on lifting weights as opposing to losing fat.

My BMI shows that I'm overweight. I'm not.

You're correct. I'm glad you're not saying that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to citizens.

So now what do we do?

We create a limit of ownership of means of destruction.

But now we've gotten to ridiculous point where people are saying that semi-automatic rifles are "weapons of war" which cannot be allowed in civilian hands. Now, you've gone WAY too far.

Not owning NBC weapons. OK.

Not owning tanks. Eh. Not sure about that. You can restrict them to a person's property. They're fairly useless there. But OK. I'll compromise. No tanks. :)

But when you start having idiots that say that semi automatics should be banned. When you have willfully uninformed citizens and legislators making laws banning types of stocks and muzzle brakes and suppressors and pistol grips. Now you've gone too far.

Now the push back happens. Now people like me are pushing for the legalization of select fire rifles; and removing length restrictions from shotguns.

Leave the 2nd A as it was declared in the 1930s - that is a reasonable compromise.

National Firearms Act ("NFA") (1934)
Federal Firearms Act of 1938 ("FFA")

Keep this up and you'll push this society to sectarian violence.

Comment Re:Buffalo is not in upstate NY (Score 1) 210

You're basically correct. As someone born and raised in NYC everything north of Westchester is considered Upstate. (And some include Westchester in that). This way of thinking divides NY State into three parts. The city (the five boroughs); Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk) and Upstate (everything north of the bronx).

Tim Pool and Laura Loomer do real journalism.

Tommy Robinson did real journalism.

You do not need to agree with them or their views to recognize that some things are simply not being shown by the MSM

Yes there are no-go zones for non Muslims in Australia - videos show as the police firmly escort her (Laura Loomer) away.

Hey how about the latest mass shooting that oops, is not being blared 24/7 on the MSM. St!t, it's not even being reported. I wonder why?

Oh, and who is kicking the MSM a$$.

Tim Pool
Styxhexenhammer666
Black Pigeon Speaks

not to mention Alex Jones (who by the way bored me and I rarely watched) But he had his fans - and he was kicking CNN's butt.

Get rid of the electoral college in favor of the popular vote and the US will splinter. There will be no reason for a union in which one has no say. Talk about the "center not holding" - get rid of the electoral college and you'll see it in a generation or less.

And why would Russia want us to use coal? If we were more dependent on foreign sources of energy then oil prices would not have dropped.

Russia wants high oil prices. Duh. They have more money and the US is weakened. It's a two-fold reason to want higher prices.

Russia does not want us to frack.
Russia does not want us to use coal.

So, pray tell me - how does your post make any sense?

(I'm not for coal generation, simply responding to the post.)
