BadOptics posted:Not sure why a libertarian would be angry about that when they consider taxation violence. That should make you guys freedom fighters against those evil Statists! I'm pretty sure that talking point is false anyway, though I could definitely be mistaken. It doesn't matter, libertarians are kinda trash anyway who haven't an ounce of consistency with what they believe. Present company excluded, obviously

 I slipped in peepee at CostCo. I figured he was a goner as soon as the news of his cardiac arrest came out. Apparently doctors were telling him back when he was on heroin that people in his condition don't live.

vains posted:that data is presented in a manner that is a wee bit misleading. Well don't leave us hanging The only problem I see is that since it's a 7-year study, counties with fewer than (100,000 / 7 =) 14,000 people would be disproportionately affected by one gun death. But even if you account for that, all those deep red counties are still red, and the southeast looks about the same. e: and if you scroll down on the same page, the gun homicide map lights up urban counties like you'd expect.

at the date posted:Well don't leave us hanging Yeah, it's lumping in suicides with homicides and listing them all as "gunfire deaths" in the hope that people will assume they are talking about homicides. The low population counties thing definitely plays a role too. If you look at the overall homicide rate, there is no correlation between firearm ownership or strictness of gun laws at the state level:   At the county level Chicago, Oakland and Washington D.C. still have higher homicide rates in spite of strict laws. IIRC, there is a stronger correlation between gun ownership and suicide rates at the state level, but I'd guess that has more to do with the fact that people kill themselves a lot in the midwest and South.

Not a whole lot of venues I've been to like that. The shooter would have to be inside of it to be so so effective.

I'm not saying that people who disagree with me are idiots. I think there are good arguments that can be made for other ways of considering things. I'm just saying that I understand why a lot of people find my arguments contrarian and offensive: because the ethical framework I've come to subscribe to is outside the mainstream in some ways.

Arguing that laws won't solve anything because criminals are devoid of laws isnt a logical argument. Its a poor mans attempt to end run around a point you disagree with by nullifying it.

[quote="“Sergg”" post="“477003055”"] Psychopathy is a highly heritable genetic trait so despite the fact that his father didn’t raise him, the Vegas shooter had psychopathy in his DNA. I bet if you dig into his past deep enough you’ll find domestic violence towards his exes, death threats, enemies with mysteriously slashed tires, embezzled funds, missing neighborhood pets, etc. These guys tend to have a trail of violent anti-social actions behind them. Wouldn’t be surprised if this guy had murdered people before. [/quote] This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen here

The low population counties thing definitely plays a role too. If you look at the overall homicide rate, there is no correlation between firearm ownership or strictness of gun laws at the state level: The fact that they break out homicides and suicidess immediately after contradicts your entire point about it being deceptive. No one on that site or here is presenting deaths as homicides. And guess what, succesful suicides do result in death and can reasonably be counted among firearm deaths. As much as people like to pretend that suicidal people are perfectly rational who will substitute one method for another, it's actually more complicated and making it harder to access a way to commit suicide demonstrably lowers the rates of people dying. Especially when the method in question is extremely easy and immediately irreversible.

Professor Bling posted:Words I grew up in a very rural area, too. The edges of the county formed the tax base in the form of commuters to the city, but large numbers of my highschool classmates ended up working in agriculture. As you mention, no amount of tax breaks is going to lure businesses to a rural area with an uneducated and unskilled workforce. Ironically, the white working class population in those areas has deluded itself into the same kind of self-pity and subsistence on welfare that they accuse urban minority populations of engaging in (projection is an interesting thing), while somehow thinking they're entitled to good jobs that require nothing more than a highschool degree. The bottom line is that nobody wants unskilled labor anymore. Right wing politicians can keep making empty promises about how lowering the corporate and top tier tax rates will result in more "good jobs" (it won't), and left wing bernouts can keep calling initiatives to retrain the population elitest. I have yet to see either side (left or right) offer anything helpful other than their usual nonsense. psydude fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Oct 3, 2017 |

Job retraining doesn't fix the problem either. As long as employers are incentivized to pay workers less and shareholders more, while workers have no protections and an increasingly large portion of their income is forced to go to things that should be goddamn human rights (housing, healthcare), it doesn't matter how much you train people.

Maybe some sort of combination where people received educations and training as well as affordable housing, healthcare, and food. But I'm a deontologist so I just think differently than all of you
