My guess is your view of history is short timed and cherry picked.

We'll revenge their deaths when it's convenient, I guess.

I've seen racism and sexism shift back to being normal in my lifetime. I don't think the arc of history bends towards justice, I think it's a constant struggle against normal human tendency to be bigoted and discriminatory.

You're saying if they catch the cop killers the grand jury is going to let them off without an indictment? Cause I'll bet they'll end up in prison or worse.

They should really just give them some personal training. I'm not even joking. Teach kids the basics of how to date and how to screw.

If there's one thing the world needs, it's more masculinity.

Resistance to the effect may be inherited. Interest in games at all may be inherited.

Go suck an egg, Mr. Comey.

Fermi paradox solved.

It would just mean it's more nuanced than we originally thought. If our very simple concepts turn out to be only mostly correct, it wouldn't be the first time.

I'm on the "Lets elect someone who was smart enough to oppose the Iraq war" band wagon. Right now Bernie's all I've got. So glad we got Obama instead of Clinton.

Point taken on property, but unlike other property where ownership is an inherent right, copyrights are granted by Congress to benefit society (talking about US here), and the terms of copyright are set by congress using powers laid out in the constitution. Would the Supremes interfere too much with this power?

If specific copyrights were wiped out using eminent domain, then I agree the owners would have to be confiscated.

Even if there is no climate change, oil is such a useful material that burning it for fuel is insane.
