Fuck the united states.
What does the contract say?
I dunno.
It's illegal to jack off in front of your kids.
Why don't we make it illegal to smoke in the same house as them, too?
Both seem equally-difficult to police.
Remember: it's always good to prohibit the drugs that you personally don't do.
Imagine if scientists working on cures had the budget of the US military...
Yeah. The American government cares more about Israel than its own citizens.
That's why we still give Israel our full support despite it being one of the main reasons for the 9/11 attacks.
Reality hurts, huh?
Personally, if I was homeless and found out I'm now in debt from the greedy-fuckers who put me there...
I would just take the law into my own hands at that point.
To be fair, even if it did, I could still see it being unconstitutional to the supreme court.
We don't want to admit it, but we kind of weasled our way to ban automatic weapons which is why there is only a "practical" ban instead of an absolute one.
i.e. You can legally own full-auto weapons if you spend the money to do so.
I think it would be very interesting if some right-wingers tried to do something like this but frame it as though you can "only buy handguns/semiautomatics made before a certain date, gotta pay all these fees, etc."
That could force the supreme court to look at whether the original "ban" on automatics is actually constitutional.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Good luck running for political office while telling constituents you won't be supporting Israel.
That's just how bad things have gotten. We're not even allowed to fight for what we believe in in a 'democracy.'
