Those incidents happen far less than with guns.
Link pls.

And gun laws are a big debate in the US right now, so yeah.
Kind of my point.

The reason it was made (to combat oppressive governments) has never been invoked a single time in the history of the US.
That must mean it can never happen.
Even if it were to happen, it's not like civilians have the firepower to stand up to the US military. Good luck using your handy shotgun against tanks, helicopters, and drones.
Explosives and computers can take down two of those. We also outnumber them.

Why are there never any of these threads about kids who steal their parents cars and then hurt or kill people?

Ehhhh needs some work. If I knew more about the people here and was funny, I would make some contributions.

What about ordering schools on a federal level and making climate change questions a part of Common Core?
Honestly, that sounds ideal (especially to this FEMA stuff), but it's already been pointed out that conservatives think the Common Core is some liberal agenda to indoctrinate our children. And who knows how they'll somehow turn it in their favor?

shit sucks  ::)
God I hate the far right.

Is Star Wars even a reboot? I mean it's a continuation of the original series, not a complete redo
Neither of them are reboots wtf even is this thread?
Wouldn't you consider a 10 year old gap and a 30 year old gap a long enough period for the next movie to be a reboot? Mad Max was pretty much dead until this movie came along. Nothing besides a NES game was being done without after Thunderdome.
But they're both still continuing the original story.

lets be honest, LSH was an asspull anyway, who cares if we never get her.
RIP in peace Jaime, Brienne, and Brotherhood without Banners storylines. I'm sure GoT writers will do great without following the source material.

I think Aegon /will/ be a major player in the books.  Looking at the photos on the site, I honestly think that in the show Trystane Martell is going to be revealed as Aegon.  Look how fucking pasty he is compared to Oberyn, Doran, and the Sand Snakes.
Either this or he will just take the role of Aegon, since Aegon will probably ally with the Martells in Winds.

Alright, if denying FEMA funding to them isn't the answer, what is?
Order schools to educate their students about climate change.
Encourage rival media outlets to go after conservative sources that try to deny or downplay climate change.

Basically do whatever we can to educate the remaining climate change skeptics so these idiots stop getting elected.
That's what's happening, but it's moving at a snail's pace. As in the case of Texas, climate change deniers have tried to change the curriculum to cast doubt on the veracity of climate change. A similar situation happened in West Virginia. There's very little indication that climate deniers have plans to stop anytime soon. Even universities are pandering to climate deniers. The biggest major news network in the country constantly touts the climate denial perspective. A current member and former chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works receives money from BP. Climate deniers actively attempt to discredit their opponents. (And that's just one example.) Good luck finding a GOP candidate who hasn't tried to cast doubt on climate change.

Climate denial is deeply ingrained in our society, and there's no sign of it going away. Worst case, trying to discredit them will just encourage them to play the victim card, and it'll work just like it always has. There's a strong wave of anti-intellectualism at play here. And a lot of it's not even about 'ignorance,' but about pushing an agenda because there's money in doing so. It's clear that no amount of disasters such as hurricanes will change their minds. How much longer will we wait to do something about it?

I can't even imagine how that'd be possible. It's hard enough juggling joke classes while being an NCAA athlete.

It's an interesting sentiment, and it may even be true, but I think issues in African American culture are a bit more complex than immigrants and other minority groups face, and thus harder to fix than by having a bidding war between politicians. And in the case of politicians, it's one thing to say you're going to do something, and it's another thing entirely to be willing to take action and have a plan.

I also find it fascinating that some of the members here that will "strongly agree" are also the ones that might "strongly oppose" Affirmative Action.

Is this really just a retort against people claiming America is stupid?
This seems to be about as deep as all his videos that I have seen.

If that's all you get from his videos you're pathetic.
I didn't even watch the one in the OP.

Makes a ton of sense considering #feedback is specifically for Destiny feedback and your thread would have nothing to do with any kind of feedback.
