Why should the suit be successful? They give no evidence of harm. The complaints are that they are making more mj related arrests (with zero evidence that Colorado's legalization has anything to do with it) and they are seizing more suspected drug money. In addition, Ok and NB seem to be...
To me this is the heart of the argument. I Don't want to live under a government that would force me to kill people hundreds of miles away simply because they want to govern themselves. You do, nothing more to discuss.
It's not necessarily about intelligence. Even very intelligent people believe things without good reason or logical support. To be honest, I think different brains are just wired differently. Anyway give me a break, libertarians are ridiculed regularly on this board.
How many deaths is too many when opposing the right to secede? You're apparently fine with 200k plus. how many are you willing to sacrifice to keep people living under a govt that they don't want to live under? Is 500k to many? 1 million? Whatever it takes?
The pro-Lincoln crowd just isn't capable of 2nd level thinking. To them slavery is bad so Lincoln/union side must be good. That's as far as they can get. The possibility that both sides were wrong is to mind-blowing to comprehend.
This thread is a perfect example of why we have the government that we do. They have you guys debating work rules and drug testing instead of debating whether money should be stolen from productive people and given to non productive people. The conservative position should be to eliminate govt...
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who agrees with intervention supports paying the gov't to murder people on the other side of the globe because they believe they have a god given right to cheap oil. Do you support military intervention in every potential genocide situation around the world or...
I didn't take a position against independence, in fact I'm for it. I'm just saying don't kid yourself the IMF will be there bailing them out inside of 5 years if they go on their own.
If you think American socialism is anything like European socialism you're ignorant at best. They don't have a party that is comparable to our republicans. Their conservatives are like our democrats. Their liberals are real socialists (workers own the means of production) not crony capitalists...
What do you mean "have it shipped"? You can't just ship furniture. You could crate it all up and ship it, but I'm assuming you mean hiring a moving company. There are some companies offering "POD" service. They drop off a pod that you load up. Then they pick it up it, truck it to...
Why $15? Why not $13? Why not $25? How did you arrive at 15? This is the problem with central planning. No individual or small group can calculate price discovery as efficiently as markets. When they try, they just create distortions that have unintended consequences.
I love Zero Hedge but they do tend to predict calamity on a daily (if not hourly) basis. Ukraine is a proxy war between Russian Oligarchs and Western banking cartels. Does anyone on either side have the political will to engage in open warfare over the Ukraine? I don't know and I don't really...
