Actually, per the Constitution only the legislature can enact laws; the judiciary and executive branches merely interpret and enforce the laws, respectively.

Thus, as the legislature is forbidden from creating laws that limit speech, by natural course the judiciary is barred from interpreting them, and the executive is unable to enforce them.

He's referring to how 'heresy' was used in previous cultures by authority figured as a means of silencing critics.

Read a book!

Then I suppose the majority of Parliament should turn themselves over to the authorities poste-haste, wouldn't you say?

Hence the difference between online and offline speech - "I'm going to rape your pets to death" is far more actionable when you're standing in front of the person's house as opposed to some maternal basement half a world away.

That's for the law to decide. Don't be such a pussy that you can't handle some punk ass talking shit.

Besides, if the cops are going to show up either way, wouldn't the smart money be on you calling them rather than you being the idiot they're coming to arrest?

Oh, I dunno - if he means counting both the Muslim and idiot populations together, then I have to agree; there are far more idiots and Muslims combined than any other single social group.

Idiots are rather prolific, after all.

... and Bose stamps on your cheap Chinese speakers.

Something about the wording in that phrase gives me the urge to search Instructables for a how-to...

That's what I was thinking. Sure beats some manufacturers, whose idea of a "premium" vehicle is a base model with nicer trim and a few extra parts.

We teach our children that making money is more important than being happy, ie 'that degree is useless' or 'don't go into that field, you won't get paid much.' Our economy is based on wealth (gotta have money to make money), and our media is obsessed with how great the rich have it (next on Cribs, some athlete's ridiculously huge mansion and garage worth more than the GDP of a small nation).

The schools, the media outlets, hell even the sports teams are owned by the same cabal of very, very wealthy people.

So, if there's a 'wealth envy' issue in America, it's cultural, and the rich have no one to blame but themselves.

Right, but from the same manufacturer. That's why the signs say things like "Ford-Lincoln-Mercury" not "Chevy-Dodge-Ford" on the sign.

I know that's precisely the sort of emotional response I didn't want to see. And judging from your description regarding how you think dealerships work when it comes to pushing this model or that, I'd say you don't know nearly enough about new car dealerships to make an informed judgement on the topic.

If you read the prospectus for one of those for-profit jails, it basically says just that - we need more laws so we can incarcerate more people so our shareholders can turn a quick, tidy profit.

No, no, it just means that putting Mickey Mouse or Hitler down as a write-in candidate is actually a much smarter joke than we thought it was.

Because, generally speaking, human beings aren't nearly as intelligent as we tend to consider ourselves; creatures willing to sell their entire species into slavery for the price of some petty, selfish desire, and the delusion that "maybe someday I'll be a stupid rich, avaracious fuck myself!"

Were we the pinnacle of evolution we fancy ourselves, one would think we would have overcome our instinctual urge to smash the other cavemen with rocks and take all their stuff.

Can't believe that to be the case, because that would mean the people in charge of Tesla's Marketing Department are complete morons - never has a new car salesman tried to "steer" a potential sale to their competitors.

Ever.
