Ah that last bit's not quite true. The current freepers will outlive us all be centuries. You see the hormones that rush through them orgasmicly every time they get sufficiently enraged force their decrepit forms to continue functioning for just a while longer, like so: quote:To: kristinn Ask permission for what? Free men don't need no consent from uppity dark ladies? But any way that outburst probably bought him a few more decades of terrible, awful life.

I'm just skimming one of the many SOTU threads that have sprouted on FR. I couldn't wait for this fine thread to deliver my dose of freeper tears. Obama Vows To Bypass Congress on Guns http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3116848/posts This one mostly struck me because of the tagline, which I can't even parse. quote:To: kristinn I'm assuming this one is just as bad as it sounds. quote:To: bunkerhill7 The way to impress the electorate: vote uselessly on something stupid and divisive, over and over again. quote:To: kristinn I don't even know. quote:To: P-Marlowe I don't think I've heard 'Odingocare' before. quote:To: kristinn So many plans to shoot people in Washington. quote:To: kristinn  Liberals and their pavlovian responses to gun control.quote:To: FlingWingFlyer

Why would it being in a thread about the Super Bowl make it more likely to be a gay joke? I mean yeah, being on freep makes it more likely to be a gay joke in general, but I'm not sure that this one was intended in that way.

Seriously. I know it's Freep, but you're still giving them too much credit. It's a matchup between a team run by John Elway versus a team run by a 9/11 truther. Throw in the fact that the two teams are in states that just legalized weed and the game is being played in a state that just legalized gay marriage, and of course at least one Freeper was bound to poo poo on it and say "gently caress, I'd even rather look forward to baseball than this".

Ask yourself: would an aging, white, conservative male be likely to be a baseball fan? There are a few cities/regions that spent 2013 with disappointing football teams and respectable baseball teams, and these assholes are nothing if not front-runners. Pittsburgh, Dallas/Arlington, Cleveland, and St. Louis are the most likely suspects.

I was going to say that in my experience when a Freeper kind of person hears an actual leftist talk about the issues, they basically go into overload and either get really red-faced angry or they just laugh and ridicule, but that's what they do with every subject up for discussion so idk. They already imagine that every milquetoast Wall Street democrat is a commumuslim sleeper agent, so hearing someone talk about anti-imperialism or ending economic disparity is pretty softball for them, and anyway it's all just code for "kill whites or make them slaves."

Now, I know full well why they hate Bill Ayers, but man does Freeps hate-boner for the guy juts make me laugh. Ayers's sort of violent but not really resistance against war and imperialism is evil sedition, but their calls for genocidal civil war are what all true Americans should be doing. Also, Jeremiah Wright, who biggest sin was saying that maybe white people still owed something to the people they enslaved for 4 centuries, is a much bigger monster than any of the fundies talking about cleansing the middle east of its Muslim population. Seriously, it's just wacky.

Once you realize that conservatives are the party of the white, southern aristocracy (who should be the only ones with real rights; poor white males can have some trickle down rights and everyone else isn't a citizen) and that the Confederacy is the true leaders of this country unlawfully repressed by the evil USA it makes a lot more sense what they consider patriotic action and what is sedition.

"Teflon coated hollow points" I thought the reason to "teflon coat" a bullet was to enhance its armor-piercing abilities by reducing friction as it passes through the barrier. A hollow point is designed to mushroom on impact with a firm surface, vastly increasing its surface area. I mean, I guess it couldn't hurt to do it, but it just screams "fancy killdozer buzzword to sound tough" to me.

OAquinas posted:"Teflon coated hollow points" Nope, the only point of teflon coating is to reduce barrel wear with repeated firing. If I remember everyone flipped a poo poo and banned them and now cops are the only ones allowed to have them even though they do nothing special. e: quote:In 1982, NBC ran a television special on the bullets, supposedly against the requests of many police organizations, wherein it was argued that the bullets were a threat to police. Various gun control organizations in the U.S. labeled Teflon-coated bullets with the epithet "cop killers" because of the supposedly increased penetration the bullets offered against ballistic vests, a staple of the American police uniform. Many erroneously focused on the Teflon coating as the source of the bullets' supposedly increased penetration, rather than the hardness of the metals used. A common resulting misconception, often perpetuated in film and television, is that coating otherwise normal bullets with Teflon will give them armor-piercing capabilities. In reality, as noted above, Teflon and similar coatings were used primarily as a means to protect the gun barrel from the hardened brass bullet, and, secondarily, to reduce ricochet against hard, angled surfaces. The coating itself did not add any armor-piercing abilities to bullets under normal circumstances.

Basically you have to take into account how much labor costs for things and how much materials cost. I forget where I saw it but something like a $10 min wage raises the price of McDonalds like 17% or something to account for increased labor costs throughout the logistics + store labor. Found a similar article. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2013/07/price-of-big-mac-could-rise-by-68-cents-if-minimum-wage-doubles/ Basically the inventory/materials costs of min-wage jobs out weight the labor costs.

So in other words if I'm understanding this right the labor costs go up proportionally to the minimum wage but the materials cost doesn't change, meaning the price of a burger would go up some but not as much as minimum wage. That makes sense to me, thanks
