It isn't about "death". It's about "innocent death".

So how do you justify the Iraq war where hundreds of thousands of civilians died? "Oops?" If you're honestly against the loss of innocent human life, you have to be opposed to the US military.

Yeah, so they're too stupid to tell the difference between a mass of tissue and a human being. That's not exactly improving their image.

Islamic conservatives provide another example of "conservative" that is very different from an American conservative

Perhaps in practice, but the underlying pathology is the same. A bible thumping Kansan is not really any different than a koran thumping Pakistani. They both refuse to actually think, and substitute fairy tales instead. Both think they are highly moral, but cause great harm to others trying to enforce their morality.

I'll tell you why. Because these retailers have already got their damn money once, and don't feel they should be paid again. And again. And again.

No, Ford and Rolex would absolutely love to get paid again if they could. They just recognize that high resale value contributes to the value of their products. They make more money selling something that can be resold. Video games are no different.

That's exactly why we need a second hand market. I'm not buying games full price. Period. Other people out there are willing to buy games full price, but only if they can sell those games to recoup some of that. If you eliminate second hand sales you exclude both of us from the market and get none of that money.

Fear cannot be the only explanation for Conservativism. The problem with that explanation is that Conservatives almost exclusively choose the most dangerous possible policies. If Conservativism was driven by fear, then fear of HPV would drive conservatives to vaccinate their daughters. Fear of teen pregnancy would drive them to teach actual sex education. Fear of heroin addiction would drive them to favor legalization of Cannabis. Fear of losing American lives unnecessarily would lead them to wage fewer wars.

No, Conservativism is not just about being sensitive to risk. It's about having no sense of proportion about risks.

How is a Free to Play (AKA Pay to Win) MMO an "interesting new idea"?

What are you talking about? The best honey I've ever had was also the palest honey I've ever had. And yes, it was locally produced.

Everyone should go to college. By that I mean, everyone will have their life enriched by a well rounded education. And everyone else's life will be enriched when all of our neighbors are well educated. Not everyone *needs* to go to college, but everyone can benefit from further education, and in a civilized society we ought to be able to provide that to everyone.

Education, at every level, should be free, rigorous, and completely optional. This will prevent the watering down of education. Finance free education by taxing alumni who get high paying jobs. This will provide an incentive for a college to actually turn out good students who are worth a lot.

The problem with your argument is that professors have pretty much never been trained in pedagogy.

Is there evidence that training in pedagogy actually improves student outcomes?

Supercharging stations like this only make sense for people on long haul trips that don't have enough intervening downtime to do anything else.

Which is a lot of people. Picture your average truck stop off the interstate. Now imagine 10 times the number of people, each there for 10 times as long.

Without vigilance, there might be a widespread problem with people getting these vaccines against their will.

What you are witnessing is the disintegration of American secondary education.

Along with everything else that was once good about America.

Yes, ultimately the only way this is going to be feasible is if there's a charger at every parking spot. That's a huge amount of infrastructure work that's going to have to be done before EVs can get anywhere close to replacing gas powered vehicles.

Even if you assume the charger occupies no extra space, you have to store all those cars somewhere. I see a lot of gas stations that don't even have parking lots. They can serve maybe 4 cars at a time, remove the pumps and maybe 8 cars. All those are going to have to be replaced with parking structures wired for EV charging.
