Wanna see a mass shooting? THIS is a mass shooting. May we NEVER let our guns be confiscated - NEVER

WilyRickWiles comments on Sep 3, 2019:

No gun is going to stop an army bent on mass murder that dehumanizes its enemy. Regardless, I think the main questions that should be asked about the current state of guns are: 1. Why do we protect the gun industry from regulation and public research? 2. Why is our basis for gun laws protecting ...

@iThink When I see the proliferation of public carry and "stand your ground" laws, I get the sense that vigilante justice has become part of the basis for gun law. And the most avid gun enthusiasts I know, while also avid hunters, openly admit to keeping so many guns primarily because they're afraid that urban Black Lives Matters protesters will single out their rural home to burglarize and rape their wife. Would be better if policing itself was more of a civic duty.

@Bay0Wulf I was responding to your request for an example of a religious justification for refusing a wedding based on race. I would say that any justification that works for the broad case of segregation also works for such a narrow case of wedding discrimination.

Basically it identifies people who have some level of fame and have confirmed their identity with Twitter, e.g. so you know it's the real Donald Trump talking and not an imposter.

WilyRickWiles replies on Aug 29, 2019:

More: "As today’s memo changing interpretation of residence which in turn affects citizenship of children born abroad shows, immigration law is complex. It took me much of the day to sort it out and feel like I had a decent grasp on it. And I still feel like there are parts to it I would have to study. What most people do not know is that acquiring citizenship through parents after birth can be complex. In fact, there are at least five different sets of criteria that apply based on when the birth took place. I literally have to go look up the chart and check to see where a client is and determine which set of rules apply. But today’s change is strange. For years our government has deemed that children born abroad to a parent stationed on active duty with the military or for our government were considered to be residents living in the U.S. that makes sense because the parent themself is deemed to be a resident if the U.S. For example, in Ohio, if you are active duty abroad you still vote in Ohio. You don’t lose your residence. So that was the idea behind according that residence to a parent’s child as well. But today changed that for families where one parent is not a citizen who lived long enough in the US. Two USC parents having a child abroad are unaffected because a different code section (INA 301) controls. Although there are exceptions even there. But now we have changed the rules to say that child is no longer a resident and therefore must jump through an extra hoop. That hoop is they must file for a Certificate of Citizenship. For many military, they can do that overseas. But for non military, they MUST return with the child to complete this process. And it must be done before age 18. They must complete the process by getting a visa as a foreign national and come to the US. What is the significance of that? US Citizens do not need a visa to come home to the US. Only foreign nationals need visas. Frankly, I don’t even know how a child in this situation could legitimately get a NIV. By definition you have to have nonimmigrant intent for most NIVs. That is impossible in this situation. Which leaves IVs. That means you have to petition for a foreign national family member and it typically takes close to a year for that process. It is also expensive. AND, it is subject to denial. Now for an infant, maybe not a big deal for some bars. But for some teens, they could land on the stupid side of some things. And, an infant with major health issues could find themselves facing the new public charge criteria. Or, none of this could be a problem and it’s just a matter of filling out some forms and paying fees. That’s the hard part. Nobody knows exactly how this stuff will actually go. And obviously the numbers involved are probably ...

@Seriousreason **Her continued preaching of oppression against Muslim woman of color in the US** I do remember her talking once about how the civil rights of Muslims have been curtailed since 9/11. That's true. https://www.aclu.org/report/racial-profiling-911-report **Constant anti Jewish** Did she use insensitive language a couple times? Maybe. But anti-Jewish is a stretch. The media twisted her words around. Moreover, let's not forget that English is not her first language. And Jewish, pro-Israel commentator Thomas Friedman even used similar language regarding AIPAC. **pro BDM** I assume you mean BDS. Dissenting on Israel is not antisemitic. **Then going against her most basic religious fundimental beliefs** Why do you assume what she believes? How is that any of your business? **Is not hypocrisy** Sorry, but I did not see any hypocrisy in anything you mentioned, even if it were true.

Try not getting outraged by how other individuals live their lives. It's a big country. One person doing something you find odd does not imply an epidemic of such behavior. Besides, try respecting people's freedom for a change. There are no laws requiring people to conform to Boardwine's cultural norms. MY INDIVIDUAL CULTURAL CHOICES DO NOT AFFECT YOU.

@Boardwine I don't quite follow why, unless it's a matter of readiness, humanity is inherently incapable of the collectivism in communism but perfectly capable of the collectivism in our current form of government. Moreover, it's pretty clear from your argument that aligning our form of government with an anti-collectivist human nature should not be our primary goal, otherwise, like the Chicago Boys in Chile half a century ago, oligarchy (e.g., via a military dictator) would be our ideal. Are you making a more subtle critique of communism (i.e., not just taking issue with collectivism)?

@EdNason The resulting defunding of the IRS is also why it can't go after rich, complex, tax cheats that would ultimately pay for themselves. Now it can only focus on the cases that are easiest to prove--i.e. poor people who make simple mistakes. It's a similar outcome to Trump's immigration policy where backlogs, quotas, and the repeal of enforcement priorities have led to a focus on the easiest people to round up--people who are already in contact with the government because they are following the rules or who otherwise come in contact, e.g. by calling the police, committing driving violations, or sponsoring immigrant relatives. https://www.propublica.org/article/ultrawealthy-taxes-irs-internal-revenue-service-global-high-wealth-audits https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/eitc-audit https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-irs-was-gutted https://www.propublica.org/article/why-manafort-and-cohen-thought-theyd-get-away-with-it

@EdNason IRS targeting, LOL. Because of that bad faith campaign against the IRS staff who were just doing their job, anything can be a tax-free "social welfare organization" now!

WilyRickWiles replies on Aug 22, 2019:

I remember he was nuts when he was a rabid tea partier. He would invite his constituents out to a bar for informal town halls and then get in arguments with them. I think he's just trying to capitalize on Trump's unpopularity now that his former district has sent the GOP into a seemingly permanent exile.

You know, it’s funny.

Just curious. Do you think it's in any way their intention to enter into good-faith negotiation over policy? I haven't seen any evidence of that. And, they call the entire non-left far right, nationalists, white supremacists, etc. They're certainly not going to validate the real far right, because ...

Commence the national socialist coalition! Bannon's dream! We just have to negotiate which minorities to throw under the bus. And oh wait, something approximating this is failing right now in Italy. Honestly, I hoped for a libertarian coalition between the left and tea party to reform the financial system and get money out of politics a few years ago and it was naive dream.

Obviously a Democrat distraction to slowly get people to accept the things they say constantly. ...

@MilesPurdue Not sure how their ideas harm others. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is boosting nativism around the world, an ideology that dehumanizes minorities, and is directly harming immigrants here at home.

Replying here because I'm currently suspended from making comments (I don't know why). @jwhitten how do you know what the original intent of the group founder was? Shouldn't we seek out their opinion and also respect their nomination of HighQ as moderator? Or is there some history of this group that I'm not aware of?

@govols That's the problem, they dodge debates with legitimate left wing figures, and carefully screen the ones they do debate. It's rigged.

@govols Besides, these are the kind of folks who are always saying that the left is afraid to debate them (and that they try to shut down free speech instead), but then when a leftist challenges them, they get scared and hide.

@govols I mean Crowder regularly sets up tables at college campuses asking students to "change his mind" on right wing taking points. Sure, he screens the students to get the most ridiculous ones, but it shows some affiliation with the right, and some willingness to debate. Moreover, both are funded by right wing billionaires.

@govols I don't think a topic has been selected yet, but presumably right wing positions vs. left wing positions. Crowder previously backed out of a debate with Seder at Politicon.
