Topic | Why did people support the drug war? |
Questionmarktarius 04/07/17 1:03:27 PM #17 | It's the misguided belief that denying opium to Chinese, marijuana to Mexicans, alcohol to Irish, etc., will magically turn them into productive Christian workers. Or something like that. It's basically: find a group whose general behavior you don't like for some reason, then ban something that group really likes. It's more along the lines of taking a child's favorite toy away until he eats his goddamn brussels sprouts, than it is overt racism. |

Questionmarktarius 04/07/17 12:24:26 PM #5 | RebelElite791 posted... You know I'm pretty surprised this didn't happen sooner? Feels like they kinda missed the boat there. You do a movie as hype is declining, not when it's peaked. |

Questionmarktarius 04/07/17 12:05:21 PM #414 | nicklebro posted... I don't get what you're trying to say... Are you saying that because America is not on the same side as Russia, that Trump and Putin cannot be colluding? If they are, this is one hell of a long-con. |

Questionmarktarius 04/07/17 11:46:37 AM #17 | Obviously, we need more hammer-control laws. |
Topic | Do Vita physical copies take up memory? |
Questionmarktarius 04/07/17 11:37:15 AM #5 | The hard limit of 4GB on a Vita cart has led to publishers into thinking it's a good idea to download anything past that. |

Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 6:19:29 PM #42 | MaverickXeo posted... I really dont understand how the ad is anything related to BLM. Can someone break it down for me? It treated a white cop as an actual person, instead of a faceless racist stormfronttrooper. |

Topic | Wait did Trump actually defund the transit system |
Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 5:36:40 PM #43 | TheVipaGTS posted... It benefits plenty of people. You realize Amtrak isn't the only one right? Well, let's take a look: Elimination of all federal funding for Amtrak’s national network trains, which provides the only national network service to 23 states, and the only nearby Amtrak service for 144.6 million Americans; Amtrak is a money hole and will always be one, until it's finally put out of its misery for good. The Kansas City Streetcar is not of "national significance". Not even close. https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/kansas-city-streetcar-tiger-fact-sheet And why, exactly, should federal funds pay for a municipal train? |
Topic | Republicans just nuked the filibuster |
Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 5:30:06 PM #63 | s0nicfan posted... What I wanna know is WHY can a rule that requires more than a simple majority to use be repealed with a simple majority? Who the hell missed that loophole in the early draft. Was it old Benny Franklin? That lush! The concept of filibuster is not in the constitution at all. |
Topic | Wait did Trump actually defund the transit system |
Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 5:18:48 PM #40 | Amtrak needs to die anyway. $212 to take the train from Boston to DC, and they're still losing money? |
Topic | Trump's travel expenses in 10 weeks cost taxpayers as much as Obama's in 2 years |
Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 5:07:59 PM #22 | Maybe it's time to reconsider the need for a dozen cars full of secret service agents and a bigass 747 every time the president goes anywhere. |

Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 4:55:57 PM #120 | youngfossil posted... hmm maybe, current climate of corporations tend not to pass the savings to the consumer. But, that's how Walmart killed Wards and Sears, and how Amazon is currently killing Walmart. |

Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 4:52:14 PM #32 | darkknight109 posted... Questionmarktarius posted...darkknight109 posted...Who it does make suffer is the content providers, since you've taken away their main source of income. If you are using an ad-blocker, then unless you're supporting the site some other way (you're providing content to the site, donating via Patreon, etc.), you don't really have a right to be using it anymore. I do think it's a bit selfish that people get on their high horse and say "I only block because the ads are invasive/really annoying/etc.", yet still feel they have a right to use a service they're now not even paying for. And that's why internet advertising is inherently flawed. |

Topic | Communism has failed every time it was tried |
Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 3:32:21 PM #15 | CowboyDan posted... That comic is a strawman though, socialism doesn't imply "no work" at all. I'm not really sure what that has to do with the tendency towards authoritarianism. Success is punished and failure is rewarded. Working one's ass off and ending up no better off than anyone else just leads to apathy and complacency. Even Marx realized that a great utopia of all the people doing what they can for the equal betterment of everyone is just completely impossible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_each_according_to_his_contribution |
Topic | Communism has failed every time it was tried |
Questionmarktarius 04/06/17 3:16:31 PM #13 | CowboyDan posted... Every attempt has devolved into some form of authoritarianism, often centered on a cult of personality. It kinda has to. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxgnvDgUcAAJLN2.jpg |
