Yup <.<

If they actually did give a shit about this kind of thing, I expect I would have had a knock on the door after the first few Takbirs.
Wrong. State governments are usually the ones to act, but government take threats like this seriously. Dozens of people are arrested a year because they post stupid shit like this on Twitter. Stop comforting him for the sake of forum likability.
You mean things like the guy who got arrested for tweeting he was going to blow up an airport because his plane was delayed? There is something they can do about that since it could be an actual threat, someone on a forum saying 'lol when I die I'm taking all you fuckers with me' clearly isn't. If he'd said 'On April the 32nd I'm going to walk into springfield elementary and see how many kids I can bag before bluiciding' then yeah that'd get him a knock at the door.
Ever heard of YikYak? It's an anonymous public messaging app for college students. A couple months ago a kid said he was going to kill a bunch of people and he got arrested for it.

Murder threats are not funny jokes, Mr P.

>"lol when I die I'm taking all you fuckers with me"

>Take away the "lol" because he didn't write that in his post and then yes, you can arrested for that.

I wonder if the 1970's gas crisis led to lower emissions, which is why we're seeing a stalling right now.

Oh look, more sheep in the U.S and feminists. "BCUZ SHE'Z TEH FWIST FEMAIL PWESIDENT LOL!"
Where is that happening, because it sure isn't in this thread.

It's these types of people in a nutshell who vote when they didn't do their research on the president, same thing with the 2008 elections.
It happens in literally every election.

At least Abraham Lincoln did something good and people voted him for that.
...I don't see what that has to do with anything

Lincoln abolished slavery and made slavery illegal.
...ok? How does that pertain to this discussion?

It relates to the Civil War and how to north won.
..which has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

yeah i saw one that criticized Sony's obvious partnership with Netflix because they have Frank playing a PS4 and talking about the Vita

I wonder if people even notice how much product placement apple does <.<
iPhones and Macs everywhere
The Samsung tablet one was even worse. "Here, let me throw this up on the monitor"

Why would they have? You have to pass a bill to find out what's in it.
I know you're poking fun at Congress, but the FCC doesn't work the same way.

The Flood / Re: so the european union is banning menthol cigarettes
« on: March 12, 2015, 05:44:08 PM »
I guess I'm just surprised that anyone in this day and age starts smoking.

I understand people who got hooked before we knew how bad it was, but now? There's no reason to start smoking. It's terrible for you and expensive. I don't see the up side to starting smoking.
I'm pretty sure 99% of smokers are aware that smoking is detrimental to their health, but they still do it anyway. Not to mention that state regulation only encourages a black market to open up, as has been repeated throughout history time and time again. The prohibition period and the War On Drugs can attest to that.

Honestly Max, for someone who's a proponent of Marijuana legalisation, I'm pretty surprised you're in support of this.
I'm not going to stop someone from smoking, but I just don't understand why someone would start.

Good, it's time we stop giving ourselves cancer. While I understand the whole "it's my body so I can do whatever I want," you have to think of your family. Your family doesn't want to lose you any sooner than they have to.
Also consider the millions upon millions of cigarette butts that get washed out to the ocean because people toss them out their car windows or while they're walking down the street.
"Think of your family, man" isn't a legitimate reason to illegalize something. Neither is "some people who use this product choose to litter".
But it's not just "some people" it's a fuckton of people.

I know a guy who was hit by a car.

For the love of God, ban cars. No, don't be stupid. Families are horizontal, co-operative units. If my family wants to coerce me into doing something I don't want to do unless it's immediately life threatening, they can go fuck themselves.
..but smoking IS life threatening.

At least cars serve a useful purpose. Cigarettes do not.

Enjoy paying for lung cancer.
What does that have to do with the EU directive here?

I don't care that you're not paying for an unhealthy product, so surely you must not care that I am unless I go around blowing smoke over people's faces? Unless, of course, you're that petty and spiteful.
I just think it's odd that someone smart like you does something stupid like smoke.

I'm not going to smack the cigarette out of your hands.

That said, I can't say much about Bush, Rubio, or Walker since I don't know a lot about their policies, but what has really rubbed me the wrong way about Rubio goes of his way to slam Obama. The whole Tea Party "Obama and democrats are the worst" annoys the shit out of me.
Rubio is also a climate change denier.
But of course he is.

If Republicans knew what was good for them we'd see Jon Huntsman again. I strongly considered voting for him in the last run.
That's the second time I've seen you mention Huntsman, what do you like about him? What makes him better than Bush or Rubio or Walker?
Huntsman's strength is foreign policy, especially with China. He supports LGBT equality, campaign finance reform, education reform, and a few other more liberal positions that other republicans seem to be afraid of being associated with. He doesn't push the "sanctity of marriage" or pander to "your freedoms are in danger" or "America is #1 forever" bullshit. So many other republicans are down in the mud, busy dragging everyone through it, and Huntsman is more high-road material.

That said, I can't say much about Bush, Rubio, or Walker since I don't know a lot about their policies, but what has really rubbed me the wrong way about Rubio goes of his way to slam Obama. The whole Tea Party "Obama and democrats are the worst" annoys the shit out of me.
