At least penis and mammary amputations are less deadly than cigarette smoking to fit in.

For the trans-men, that should eliminate breast cancer risks as well.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
Something you can sadly conclude is that the liberal states that hold guns accountable over people are more likely to create an environment for the creation of mentally unstable people. There is a reason far left liberal states have the most homeless, least employed people, and most violent crime. Accountability of the individual is almost completely replaced by state control in places like California, Detroit, Chicago, New York, and Washington DC.

I mean..we could save around 40,000 lives a year if we simply banned cars right? Cars have a purpose.

Saves lives at what cost? We could save alot of lives if we stopped people from reproducing too...but we don't.


Guns have a beneficial role to play in society, and so does reproduction.

That's really interesting how you imply the destruction of the traditional "stay at home" parent model might have something to do with maladjusted young males. Most studies of daycare kids are shocking, turning kids into workaholics who can't form proper relationships with others.

This will be my once and final time responding to you. Even if you manage to say something clever or witty or even if you post a link to facts to evaluate on this forum, I will forever regard you as a massive troll on this site, and will not bother to acknowledge your presence, nor shall I waste time responding. When the owner of the site adds the function to ignore users, you will be on the list.

Goodbye.

According to gunpolicy.org, if a thief randomly attacks a house in America, there is a 42% chance there will be a gun owner living there. In Australia, there is a 6% chance.

Thieves usually target the high reward, low risk areas.

 This story should be required reading in all schools. Banning things have consequences, and should never be done on an emotional whim.

All campaign finance laws are stupid. It's like a law that puts a cap on how much you can pay for a prostitute.(like there's no way to get around that one...even Bernie has millions of dollars)... How about we either get rid of the prostitutes (elect better politicians) or we simply surgically rip the uterus out of them (make government smaller).

Now that's a real solution.

I'd rather have the overhyped and rare "mass" shootings here than the chronic underhyped home invasions that occur in Australia. There is no Utopia Linate.

Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia: A Response to Steven Pinker
Let's just skip over the academic gymnastics and get into the street smarts.

Here is a sample of someone's DNA

Note all the various percentages on the left column. In fact, you will never find any person's DNA test from that site ever with 100% in one category.

In fact we are all mutts, and there is no such thing as a pure "race" anywhere on the globe. Most revisionist racist scientists have a vested interest in claiming there are significant DNA markers in certain people from geographic regions that makes them socially handicapped, but even according to your article, the phenotypes are too varied in populations today to equate people on the basis of phenotypes to any of those DNA markers.

For the layman, a certain shade of skin or a funny nose has zero bearing on your total DNA picture.

It's really hard to take anyone in Academia seriously when they still hold the 1800's science regarding the existence of human races as anything other than junk science, especially after the mapping of human DNA.

The only additional factor I'd really want to include is some sort of subjective assessment via interview. Professional interviewers are capable of discerning quite a lot about a person, and I think that skill-set could be applied towards determining whether or not a potential immigrant is likely to assimilate culturally.
Respect of the law is the most functionally vital metric of assimilation into a culture for stability purposes, because if an immigrant (legal or illegal) does not agree with the law AND does not recognize authority, they are far more likely to simply break the laws at will instead of using the electoral and judicial system to redress the law. Society descends into anarchy and tribal squabbles. This is actually a lot more functionally important to society than being able to speak English. Most of the really desperate immigrants were raised all their lives in a lawless society. You actually have to teach them.

What's so ridiculous is that McCain had no qualms about flashing his Military Ribbons to peddle his war hawk policies AND his socialist leanings promoting feel-good, ineffective social programs. He was the ideal poster boy for Nationalist Socialists in the USA.

There's little mystery why liberals worship the man, especially older liberals raised in the decades of warhawk policies.

@Swagnarok
There's nothing I liked about the guy. He wasn't a hero, his ego was larger than his IQ, his hawkish policies were terrible for the country, and he had no idea how to fix any real problem. Smooth with the rhetoric, and lacking on effective policies...reminds me of Obama. His legacy as a Senator is a straight up disaster for the country. I'm very happy the Republican party is currently moving away from the interventionista policies McCain spearheaded throughout his career.

If the Jews were so genetically smart...why were they so easily dominated by almost every cultural group? Like, couldn't they figure out how to escape Egyptian slavery or the Gas Chamber if they were so smart? Or maybe they are smart NOW cause all the stupid ones got killed off?

This is correct, and there really shouldn't be any limits for H1-B visas if America is going to continue its long standing policy of exploiting shithole countries by draining them of all of their best and brightest.

An interesting side note - yesterday, when all the news outlets were discussing the Manafort and Cohen stories, Fox news ratings dropped to third place.
Republicans didn't want to hear it.
Reminds me of Miracle Max in "The Princess Bride" running from his wife yelling "I'm not listening!"
I watched CNN to make sure they were still full of crap.

Obama: "If there's even one thing we can do, if there's just one life we can savewe've got an obligation to try.”
I meant to say:

If the left can confiscate ILLEGAL guns to save one child...then the right can confiscate ILLEGAL aliens for the exact same purpose.

Labor shortages aren't a bad thing, they drive up wages and working conditions. The elites emphasize it as such for this reason. 
It also helps to form artificial monopolies as the businesses that can't afford automation go bankrupt.

No concern about people in the country, legally, murdering innocent women? I think your concerns are misplaced.
