ReidRansom posted:Well, according to that illustration he shoots like an absolute pussy. Some consolation, I guess. See how Hamilton is shooting into the air? Back then gentlemen would have these duels and then they would both shoot into the air as to both satisfy the duel yet not harm eachother. So Hamilton, being a gentleman, shoots into the air, and Burr, being a dickhole, straight shoots him.

Besides Burr's attempt to split the United States in half to build a personal kingdom, the best Aaron Burr moment is the time he convinced the Federalist controlled Congress to fund a water company whose secret purpose was to fund the AntI-Federalists. Said company later became one of the biggest banks in the US until it merged with Chase National.

Fried Chicken posted:It has the text of the 5th on it apparently. The artist wasn't dumb or lazy, he made a nice little decoration proclaiming the right against self incrimination. It was the buyer who screwed up his amendments, and is now arguing that he told the artist he wanted 2nd and the artist put down the 5th to try and make him look dumb/like a crook. I was confused because some gun nuts think the 2nd is the only reason the government follows the 5th, mostly in regard to the takings clause. I love that the artist kept the work order because anyone in that field knows to cover their rear end in case someone claims "that isn't what I asked for! I'm not paying!" A friend works at a graphic design and printing firm and they have had to point to the customer's signature on the proof sets quite a few times.

So Hamilton, being a gentleman, shoots into the air, and Burr, being a dickhole, straight shoots him. Actually the convention was to shoot at the ground, and not into the air. Hamilton, being a sneaky son of a bitch, writes in his diary the night before that he's planning to shoot into the air, shoots at Burr, and misses. So Burr shoots him. Obviously if Hamilton won the duel, he could have quietly burned the diary and told his second not to tell anyone about his supposed plan to waste his shot, since he didn't tell Burr or any neutral witnesses that he wasn't planning to kill Burr until after Burr shot him.

I heard that Hamilton secretly had his pistol modified to have an extremely light trigger pull and then screwed up and squeezed the trigger too much while aiming it due to stress.

FlamingLiberal posted:Keep in mind that these people are directly profiting by using taxpayer money meant for public schools to instead go to their crappy charters that make them hoards of profits. The biggest problem is that it doesn't matter to these people whether or not the education they provide is worthwhile or not. All that matters is that their stockholders are happy and they turn a profit. Everything else is someone else's problem. I do think base greed is part of the problem, but I also think that there is a genuine sentiment that the problem with schools and those dirty poors is that they don't work hard enough. They don't apply themselves in such a way that they can remove themselves from that situation and be rich. And that the problem with the schools is that teachers aren't good enough, or that schools are too big, or that teaching students differently from how you learned it is wrong. Because the real reason, that social and cultural norms are to blame all our academic problems, like segregation and the notion that teachers are sucking at the government teat, is something that they don't want to look at. Because that means that they were just lucky rather than their wealth or status was earned. They don't want to stare at that particular abyss lest they see themselves for what they really are. I think some malice plays into this but I believe that it is more naivete.

Had to take my wife to the ER last night for breathing difficulties. As part of the "Have you done x thing" questions they asked were a bunch of new ones to screen for ebola apparently. I found it kind of bizarre based on what, a single case down south?

See, if there's an ebola outbreak in the US it'll be because Obama didn't believe in America enough.  e: I tried to make that sound ridiculous but I reread the quote and it's barely even different.

Schlafly is the perfect example of the fact that misogyny doesn't have any gender boundaries. She straight up thinks that getting married is non-revokable consent to all sex at any time and that married women can't be raped: quote:Could you clarify some of the statements that you made in Maine last year about martial rape?

Solely on what I read on her, she's the type who says that women should act in a way that she would never do and treated in a way she will never allow to be done to herself. Or, y'know, an rear end in a top hat.

Women being subservient, silent and subordinate to the husband as the head of the family is strongly encouraged by some Christian teachings. Also, cynically, there is a lot of opportunity for women or minorities who are willing to come forward and push the conservative line as the GOP amplifies those voices so it doesn't look like it's coming solely from old white men (it is).
