A while back I remember hearing about a raid of some kind on a medicinal marijuana place or something, but overall there hasn't been a hard crackdown on states that have legalized it.

It's definitely done a good job at showing the true colors of 'states rights' republicans who then assert they want the federal government to punish said states though. When the legalization train first started some years ago there were a small number of posters on the Free Republic forums who called out others who made posts like that. Guess which side of things started getting banned?

It's pretty simple: Is this a freedom/state's right I personally agree with? The government should stay out of it.
Is this so-called freedom/state's right thing something I don't think others should do? The federal government should do its job and ban it already.

What's it like living in a liberal state features this gem:

just like smoke detectors posted:

Your comment on a license to store guns - if you live on the fifth floor with neighbors nearby, cameras everywhere and multiple steel doors between you and an intruder, there might be some small argument for that. In the wide open spaces however one might argue for needing a license for NOT owning one, just like smoke detectors are required, visible house numbers at the road are required. In country houses everyone who knew how to use a gun knew where the guns are and how to open the safe(s). Government can be good, but how much do we need.

I mean, maybe? I see it being more likely that he gets enough notoriety where some assholes beat him to death on the streets.

These things never have happy endings. Some of you might remember the dude who lost his job after making threats against his new boss because she was a woman? Dude pissed away literal millions on strippers and became homeless. Mental illness is just a loving black hole sometimes.

We have a Swedish version about three fathers where the hospital mixed up the babies. So the fathers are faced with 3 babies and can't be sure which belongs to who. One father is black, One is from Stockholm and one is from Gothenburg. So the father from Gothenburg says he'll take the black baby because at least then he can be sure it's not the Stockholm baby.

Is that black fear or Stockholm fear?

Not necessarily. I work a physical job that involves a good bit of easily learned skills, and it starts off about 3 or 4 bucks above minimum wage and we all work like 50-70 hour weeks, so all our money comes from overtime. Most everyone there are all staunchly against raising minimum wage. I think it's because you don't have a great job, but it's a good step above minimum wage and I feel the driving factor behind these attitudes is a desire to feel superior to others.

e: an anecdote - Sometimes someone will leave before lunch to go pick up food for everyone. A lot of times they are walking up in a McDonalds with sometimes as high as 11 or 12 separate orders. Even if there's a tiny mistake, like one person got onions on their burger when they asked for none, they get really pissy and do the "herp how hard can it be, loving idiots" As someone who has worked fast food, the only thing hard about our job are the hours. It's way the gently caress easier than a prime time rush at McDonalds.

Yeah I don't quite get it. I make more than 15/hr built not a huge amount more. So if minimum wage was increased to 15/hr I'd just immediately argue to my boss that I should get a significant raise due to working in a field that requires significant experience and education above and beyond an entry level job. Presumably people opposed to the minimum wage hike either make so much more than the minimum that this argument could not be used, or have so little faith in their own skills or their company's morals that they don't think they could make a successful case for a raise higher than 15/hr.

Yes, but it doesn't matter how much they're earning as long as they're earning more than the other guy. And they know that they're making more than some people now, but if minimum wage is increased those who are unworthy might one day make as much as they do.

Or, C, they just hate the idea of anyone else getting money for what they view as "no reason at all". A depressingly high number of people living near the poverty line will argue that the minimum wage shouldn't be increased because something something millennials. It's always just the same bullshit about how kids are lazy, we shouldn't reward people for no reason and that they get on fine without that money (they don't) all while completely ignoring the reasons why people need minimum wage raised so badly.

At least the guy is admitting how he thinks poor people should live: in a tiny one-room apartment with no climate control (good luck if you live in Florida where an interior can get over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer!) and no amenities but a stove top and fridge. He wants the poor to live with nothing but the absolute bare necessities until they can be deserving of happiness.
