Because pro-asbestos and anti-seatbelt people existed, but they didn’t have megaphones to reach the whole world.

Here’s the question: Idiots and wise people both have this megaphone to reach the world. Why do the idiots seem to succeed much more often?

Well, there used to be a thing where you would put your child in the way of mumps because a child getting mumps is much less severe than an adult. There may have been other such diseases that it was better to have as a child than as an adult.

This was before vaccines which basically does the same thing.

It’ll be manslaughter, unless they find evidence that he knew he was a shill.

and if they do find evidence he was a shill, it’s 1st degree murder.

his children.

You misspelled ‘republicunts’

As a child, do you not serve your mother and your father?

Older pickups had a bench seat so could seat 3. Then there are the crew cabs who can seat 6.

Only if they get into a salt water flood.

So we’re just spreading trash in the environment and feeling good about it because it can be reused by other animals?

Sometimes it just works. Small octopuses love to take up residence in a beer bottle. It might not be the prettiest thing to find on the ocean bottom but it’s often home to one of the most intelligent invertebrates.

And, after all, that glass is just congealed sand.

Yeah. You should move past that.

Easy access to firearms.

This is a BS statement. Firearms have ALWAYS been easy to get in the U.S. It used be even easier than it is now. Yet it’s NOW that we have this increase in the suicide rate. Maybe try looking at reasons for suicide such as the the divisions in this country rather than just blaming a tool.

Men are more likely to use a gun for suicide, as they have always been, for the same reason they go to a store with something in mind to buy, buy that something then walk out. Men focus on the goal so they obviously go for the most effective method of achieving the goal.

As someone who raised hamsters, I can tell you that the hamster does not go through the cedar shaving unless the hamster wants to. Of course, I always made sure they had a couple inch layer of shavings. Sometimes, the hamster would push them aside because they liked the cool metal floor but that was their choice. On the other hand, they are also free to pile the shavings up even deeper and just cover themselves. You act like they have no choice in the matter.

Oh. You’re right. Dana did Bush the first. Wouldn’t be prudent.

But that’s the point. Congress CANNOT cede authority without amending the constitution. Any ‘law’ they make doing so is invalid because it violates the constitution. A LAW CANNOT OVERRIDE THE CONSTITUTION.

Bug zappers don’t focus on mosquitos. They focus on bugs attracted to light. Mosquitos aren’t particularly attracted to light. They are attracted to body heat and, most particularly, carbon dioxide. Our exhalations draw them near. Then the heat from the veins close to the skin’s surface provide the fine tuned target. So, to attract mosquitos, emit carbon dioxide which then draws near to a body temperature heat source, which then zaps or drowns them. This drowning is accomplished by having the mosquitos attracted to a suction which then blows them into water with a bit of soap in it.

I think it’s kind of Legal?

Here’s the thing. The constitution says CONGRESS levies taxes, not the president. Any law CONGRESS passes must be IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. Making a law that abrogates any part the constitution is not IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. The only way to do that is TO AMEND the constitution.

So, no. It’s not kind of legal.

and any judge worth the air it would take make such a statement should FUCKING KNOW THAT!

There used to be a satirical musical group called the Capitol Steps that sang a song called “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran” sung to the tune of the Beach Boys Barbara Ann. This was at 20 years ago. Unfortunately, Covid killed the group (as in made it no longer viable because people quit coming to see them, not actually killing them).

I wish they’d try to make a comeback.

It will probably trip and fall then jump saying it’s OK. Gerald Ford actually like Dana Carvey’s portrayal of him.

There are still some dark purple bananas out there. They are usually less than 1/2 the size of a normal (cavendish?) banana. They don’t taste as good to me but many people love them.

Hmm. America (any part of it, North America, South America) didn’t become part of this until a little more than 500 years ago at the earliest. Not THOUSANDS of years. Then, it was Catholics who spread the western ‘civilization’ to the Americas, yet the United States hates Catholicism and says the protestant King James Bible is the true word of a non-existent god. The nation that is not supposed to push any religion only pushes protestant christian religion denying the THOUSANDS of years of Catholicism.
