Republican Governor Mike Pence says not giving food to the unemployed will 'ennoble' themquote:The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced last month that beginning in 2015, it would no longer request a waiver to the federal work requirement for certain people who use the SNAP program. Up to 65,000 single Hoosiers could lose food stamp benefits unless they are working 20 hours a week or attending job training. "It's been working, so it's time to burn it down" I love my lovely state, hopefully the enormous backlash he's been getting for gutting education and the lasting black eye the whole stupid religious freedom bill caused are enough to get him turfed out edit - at least he's not Walker

Grundulum posted:Has there been any confirmation of the Anonymous KKK leak? When the only source is an anonymously-written Pastebin document, it is ridiculous to treat this as anything more than National Enquirer-level fiction. Presumably this came from an actual breach into an actual Klan database (notice how it's all regional and mostly the same....tribe or whatever). If there's going to be further confirmation it's going to come in that form, probably sent to a reporter or investigator or something. Or, it's just a bunch of names pasted into a text file. Impossible to know at this point

While the discussion has been an interesting one, I must confess that my assertion that Missouri is part of the deep south was erroneous. I consider it a southern state despite how northerly it is because of traditional boundaries, and also because it's like Florida Man Lite as far as news coverage goes. It's definitely not deep south though. I was posting tired and my old habit of confusing Missouri with Mississippi location-wise sprang up. The sweet tea test is bunk now. You can walk into any Steak N Shake or a hundred other chain restaurants in the north and get a "proper" sweet tea, because all that is is just lovely tea with as much sugar as you can mix in while it is hot, because if it's hot you can mix more in. The only reliable tests are the dogwhistle per sentence ratio test and the fried chicken test. edit - also they're SEC

Same thing would've happened 10 years ago It didn't work because they're black and righteous, it worked because they stopped playing football. That's not to denigrate their cause or anything, but holding a knife up to the throat of a D1 football team would've had the same result in 2005. If it hadn't the team would've been booted from the conference instantly and replaced with another school that wanted millions of dollars

Of course I'd like for someone to step in and ensure he doesn't die on the street, but it never even had to come to that and even if that does happen, I'm sure it will be "oh Bevin's not such a bad guy as I thought, I'll keep voting R in future" If the identity politics that he voted for ends up killing him, he wouldn't be the first.

I didn't want to cause a derail in the GOP Primary thread but I did want to ask a question that I was reminded of there. Is there a good reason why inert gas is off the table for executions, or is it really just a bloodlust thing? It comes up from time to time in industrial accidents/Darwin Award nominees and it seems like a whole bunch of nitrogen just makes you stop living without realizing it or feeling any pain.

evilweasel posted:States don't like to experiment with execution procedures because it leads to more difficult court challenges. Also, anything that can fairly be described as a "gas chamber" has obvious PR problems no matter how humane it is. I thought gas chamber was just the public face of it. The more specific term is nitrogen asphyxiation. Not that Kansas wouldn't stretch this to let them execute people using mustard gas or anything. Doesn't it have a precedent of being used that can be called on? Personally, I'm in favor of no executions but the realist in me wants them to at least be painless. Yeah I can see how it would be a dicey issue to anybody who doesn't work at OSHA or in industry that has to deal with how scary this stuff can be in regards to killing you before you realize you're being killed edit - maybe just pull a trick out of Big Pharma's playbook and package it with hydrochlorothiazide and submit it for a patent as Justice Fog Popular Thug Drink posted:it is by far the most effective, cheapest, painless, nontoxic, best all around way to end someone's life. which is why it's a nonstarter for vengeance-based punishments administered by a heartless bureaucracy This is what I was afraid the answer would be, but I was hoping there was some more specific "it's actually not as perfect as it seems" thing I was overlooking  Joementum posted:That's Oklahoma's backup plan.

Sounds like a bunch of welfare queens couldn't bring themselves to stop suckling at the teat of subsidized food and embrace the free market alternatives to get their fix of what they want. Just wait until Carson's thought police report you It's really sad the things people consider themselves entitled to to the point of not being able to live without it and getting violent. I'm a huge carnivore but went vegetarian for 10 months just to see if I could and didn't die and I'm sure others could as well On a semi-related note, I've always wondered why fish isn't considered meat by catholics and the like? I mean it's clearly a living animal's flesh, I've always considered it a little disrespectful to the animal to classify it as broccoli

I just can't get over the irony that the staunchest evangelicals are the ones clamoring to turn away middle eastern people seeking refuge at Christmas, while complaining that Christmas is being marginalized Between this and the whole Prosperity Gospel thing, I think that the wingnuts who are assuming we're going to be the favored people in the rapture may be in for a surprise.
