Their staff will pull it down the next day. Try it sometime. You cannot get anything on their they do not already approve of.

Took you long enough.

In fact, he was banished from the airwaves, literally, where "the airwaves" means "A&E" and the banishment is indefinite ... which is the whole point, innit?

Feel free to provide your evidence that I've done such a thing. You have none, of course: you're lying.

I labelled no such things as lies. You're lying.

You're lying.

You're lying.

You're lying. I am extremely consistent in how I use the word "lie," and I always use it for intentional attempts to mislead or deceive.

You're lying.

I work with mentally ill patients, and I was an active SWAT officer when Columbine happened. It changed how we did everything.

After Columbine, we got our floor-plans on ALL of our local schools, and spent hours and hours during the nights assaulting those locations, and gaming-out active shooter scenarios. We had other officers play the OPFOR, and hunted them through the hallways. What we discovered was that as fast as we were, we weren't fast enough. By the time a police response arrives at a school, the gunman can have already killed several dozen (as happened at Virginia Tech).

The answer to a "man with a gun" is another man with a gun, and the School Resource Officer is critical against a homicidal maniac. The faster you can get that man on-scene and putting rounds on-target, the better.

And our mental health system is badly broken. Look into the eyes of Lanza, Holmes, Loughner... it doesn't take a board-certified psychiatrist to tell you they've lost touch with reality. Unfortunately, there are very few resources out there to address people like that. Until that changes, people like that (though they throw up red flags to every person who knows them) are going to continue to fall through the cracks.

You're very confused. Want to try again?

For him to make anyone look bad, he'd have to:

• Stop intentionally, or carelessly, misrepresenting the facts nearly all the time
• Refer to actual points much more often, instead of the norm, which is to attack straw men and introduce red herrings
• Admit when he's wrong, which is very often
• Stop demonizing people for merely disagreeing

None of that seems likely.

Odd. You think that me saying the same things that I say very, very often -- weekly, at least, for many years -- is ... rare.

You know that's self-refuting, right?

Shrug. Since I didn't read the comments in question, I am feeling no pain. But I suspect if I had, I also wouldn't.

The fact that he resorts to lies in the first sentence of each comment implies otherwise.

You're lying. I did no such thing.

I didn't pick one comment: I read only the first one, and then gave up when you lied about what I wrote. And you're doing it again, so again, I won't continue reading.

I didn't say there was. I said the restrictions are arbitrary. I was explicit.

I can't bother to read past your first idiotic comment.

False. It is removing arbitrary restrictions on business. This is about the free market.

Irrelevant. Not my problem. We are freeing the market. Adapt or die.

Anything you say next is false. I am forcing nothing. Neither is the government. If they are forced to do anything, it is by free market forces.

Everyone, except for those relying on government to protect their interests against the reasonable interests of others, and I have no sympathy for such people.

I didn't go off-topic at all.

So? I wonder why you think you're making a point.

I do not recognize the "right" of any government to ban the sale of a legal product or service.

Even if that is true -- it's not -- it's irrelevant.

This is not a huge issue for me: while it is absolutely clear that laws restricting the sale of legal goods and services are stupid and harmful, it would have far less of an impact on freeing of the health market than much more sensible and broad legislation: to remove the business subsidies for health insurance, and replace it with an individual income tax credit, which will necessarily have the effect of driving down -- massively -- the cost of care and insurance.

In many areas, yes. I hope you don't think you're arguing against me in some way.

So what? Seriously. If a small business can't handle the free market, then it should go away. That's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, and the worst of all worlds is a government that keeps burdensome or expensive regulations around just to make sure businesses that rely on those regulations don't suffer.
