Of the last several years of a mass shooting per day, has the attacker ever been stopped by a concealed carry civilian?

You think there's a link between dogs and terrorists?

British police get shot (and killed!) all the time. But not by terrorists, so it don't count.

The takeaway here is that the question never was "why is space exploration getting so much money", it's "if the government can put a man on the moon, why can't it feed the poor?" Saying that we can do both is a real copout, because one of these things is actually getting money and more importantly attention, but as for the other, well:



So the question becomes, why should any of these people give two shits about your fancy gizmos when they can't even put food on the table? You gotta offer them something in return, and so far US society has failed on that front.

And as I mentioned, that's not the question here. Nobody I know of was or is saying that you should somehow tranfer NASA:s budget to Social Security, they were asking why the government couldn't find the will to end poverty and discrimination if they could find the will to do all sorts of other stuff, such as the space program. Now, this all riles up nerds because they think it's an attack on their beloved flashy science stuff, but maybe people should take a step back and think about what's actually being said here.


In any case, happy holidays y'all. Have a carol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r65C367hCVI

I don't know if it's more or less effective than anything, but I live in a very violent city where armed robberies and such are a common occurrence and I understand the feeling of wanting to have any means of personal defense.

Not so long ago a dentist was tortured and then burned alive during a robbery at her clinic. I can't blame someone wanting to have a gun to feel safer against this kind of horror and I wouldn't call that cowardice.

Looks like he meant to say that white people don't know what it's like to be poor black people that live in ghettos. Which is true. Misspoke a little but if you're not a troglodyte looking for something to be outraged about no matter what was really meant, it's what you latch on to.

Even the word "pantsuit" is kinda dumb. I wonder what they're all wearing with their suits if they're not specifying them as "pantsuits".

‘What women problem?’
That was the slogan on flyers at the Women Vote Trump fringe event at the Republican National Convention. And this was the scene a few minutes after the advertised start time. None of the people sitting down in this picture are Trump supporters. They’re all with the media.
By the time the event actually kicked off—half an hour late when it became clear that no, nobody else was showing up—there were, to my count, thirty-five people in the room. That included the six speakers, the organizers, volunteers and press.
