Which is why I specifically said they played it at an above-average amount. ok, so let's say that 90% of the mass murderers turn out to have played an above-average amount of GTA. then what? we should just "look into it"? interesting how hesistant you are to say that there's causation there, but you're already 100% convinced that there's a causal relationship between single moms and mass murderers. nothing to "look into" there, you've already drawn your conclusion. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ...

When asked whether a more competent sheriff's office could have prevented the horrific tragedy that claimed the lives of 17 people, Israel said, "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, O.J. Simpson would still be in the record books."

the constitution is literally a description of the principles according to which the government should operate In theory, sure. But in practice, the US constitution is basically just a list of limitations set on what the federal government is allowed to do. Statists want government to have no limits, so any outcome where "the constitution doesn't matter" is obviously superior to one where we carefully change the constitution so that we're careful that we are still complying with it. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://i.imgur.com/W66HUUy.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ ...

SmartMuffin posted... yeah, literally nobody is saying "the fact that trump can take over the government means we should give the government less power" yeah, but just because they don't think the state is always wrong doesn't mean the opposite - that they think the state is always right - is true. even if you use the "they don't think trump is the state" argument, it's not just trump. statists have also bashed the bushes, reagan, etc. etc. you can't say "they thought all of those guys weren't actually the state!" it's more like they think democracy is "always right," but not necessarily what democracy leads to. to an extent i agree with you guys that it's weird that statists aren't calling for less power to the president/more power to the states, though. it's like they think doing that would do more damage in the long run, so they'd rather deal with a lunatic being set loose for four years and wait for a sensible person to get elected who has to clean up all the mess than fix the problem immediately. though part of it could also be a practical issue. there's a 0% chance the president is ever going to get less power, so why waste a lot of time and effort arguing that this should be the case? --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ...

The feds and the president have been losing power in several places over the years. It's not at all rare or difficult to do that. The biggest issue is the economy and dollars which are getting more centralized, but that's not everything. Like I said, Trumpers now believe that the president and executive branch have no power and wish for a totalitarian dictatorship. That's where statism has ended up. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 ...
