And I am Kallen Kozuki, leader of Zero's honor guard. Even though this is a land of justice and those damned Britannian sympathizers Sage and Sechs are fascists, they've still got a few right ideas.

So no posting stuff off the DNP! And nothing that's illegal in the real world!

My Guren and I won't show you any sympathy if you do!

"If you believe in freedom of speech, you believe in freedom of speech for views you don't like. Goebbels was in favor of freedom of speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favor of freedom of speech, that means you're in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise." - Noam Chomsky

Clearly a ruse by firearm sellers.

>Asked why the M1s pose a threat, the State Department spokesman referred questions to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. ATF representatives said they would look into the question Monday afternoon, but on Wednesday they referred questions to the Justice Department. DOJ spokesman Dean Boyd referred questions back to the State Department.

So really, you just want to ban the sale of firearms and can't come up with a good excuse for your reasoning.

>>17071
My favorite part

>"They clearly were used as military guns, and the fact that they likely can take high-capacity magazines makes them a special safety concern," he said.

So does that mean that all military firearms should be banned? I'm sure a lot of people with AR-15's and M1's wouldn't take very kindly to that.

>>17072
I also think that only applies to the M1 Carbine, not the standard M1, right? Besides, any semi-automatic weapon with an external magazine can carry a high capacity clip.

>>17061
No, he doesn't.

>>17064

Nah, you're right, he doesn't.

Except for that bit about stopping immigration.

>>17067

And I mean that in the least insulting way possible.

>>17064

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a troll, even if it does sound plausible.

The environmentalist movement has always had that pocket of whackos that are more anti-human than pro-environment. Paul Erlich comes to mind.

What is wrong with Britain?

As to California, last I heard they were shutting down all the schools and closing all of the prisons to save money. Is that true?

>>17051

Britain has 1 CCTV camera for every 13 citizens.

>>17052

Actually, I'd heard that it was getting close to 1:1.

>>17051


Nah.. just banning plastic bags statewide.

>>17028

1) All conflict leads to unnecessary bloodshed, whether righteous or not.
2) Rebelling just gives the government to commit martial law and then strip everyone of their rights.
3) There is an amendment to the US Constitution that says that you forfeit your citizenship by rebelling against the government, in effect.

>>17032

Piss your congressmen off, there's a reason they have phones and offices: So you can harass them and harangue them about issues that are important to you.

>>17033
...This is a problem?

>>17035
It's not THE problem, but it is a reason why people shouldn't be looking at this through a one way mirror. We always want to make the government an evil entity out to get our rights, but it NEVER IS. If people can't see why the governments of the world would want to codify an international policy on intellectual rights, then they are either stuck in their own opinion column, or are unwilling to actually go out and research this phenomenon. Going from outrage to rebel in less time it takes to Google search demonstrates this desire to go for emotions.

Not a lot of people realize that war was the last thing on our Founding Father's minds. They wanted reason and rhetoric to resolve their grievances with their government. They still believed they were British up until things fell apart.

War is a dumb last resort that signifies that the parties in conflict have given up resolving the situation in a civilized manner.

Harassing your local representative does nothing but exacerbate this situation and is a waste of the Republic and it's principles.

>>17041

>War is a dumb last resort that signifies that the parties in conflict have given up resolving the situation in a civilized manner.

Did you not read a huge chunk of my post or do you just want to throw me in with those you want to typify?

>Harassing your local representative does nothing but exacerbate this situation and is a waste of the Republic and it's principles.
Spoilers, we're a democratic republic. So the job of the people is to tell the people representing them what's important to them. if you don't tell your representative enough, they won't represent you and your issues in the republic part of the democratic republic.

>>17044

To answer your first question, no. As in "No, I did read your post", and "No, I am not trying to throw you in with anybody with my statement."

Also, I don't believe telling your representatives what is important to you is "harassment" or "haranguing". I believe it is called "Civic Duty".

yo-you're right.

9/11 never happened, I'm sorry to ever question you.

>>17034

Uh. It's a ridiculously blatant puff piece, dude. The first paragraph consists entirely of talking about what a saint the man is.

>>17045
Don't be ridiculous. You are asserting that the violent Muslims that destroyed the World Trade center are building a mosque on top of the former location of the World Trade center. None of that is true.

>>16718

Only pretty sure?

>>16756

>Only pretty sure?

The press was less invasive in those days. They only photographed FDR from respectful angles.

I got issues with Gally being matched up to Nixon, but that is mainly the fanboi in me.

Gally is too godamn badass to be a president.

Who are you going to believe? Your own, clearly faulty circuitry or me? Hell, the image was original saved in my Freehaven Folder. If you need calcification, I remember you changing Clinton to Ryoko. Ring a bell? No? Oh well.

Wouldn't exactly be the first time he's partaken of a controlled substance that he denies others the use of.

>>17003
Funny you should mention that. The guy who's trying to ban the sale of M-Rated games to minors in California, Senator Leland Yee, is a Democrat. See Schwarzanegger v EMA.

>>17004

No. That's not what a comic book is. You are referring to picture books. Those are two completely different industries. Picture books have page wide illustrations and a narrative written somewhere on the page describing the scene. Comic books use panels to convey narrative visually, with speech bubbles displaying dialogue.

The medium of storytelling are completely different.

I'd hardly fault him for doing a little drugs back in high-school. That's just typical teenage behavior.

Unless this is more of a recent thing.

I'd be quite fine with that.

I believe the last time I came up with something like this, I was called a bigot and wanted black people to only drink from their own water fountains..

We have marriage laws. We actually define marriage in a legal sense separate from what it may mean in a cultural standpoint. It's a legal contract. People confuse the the ceremony for the legal contract at the registry.

No religion owns the word "marriage". It's irrelevant what any religion defines marriage as in law, and it is built as such so that we do not let cultural institutions define what a word is for everybody else in our law books. If you let the people decide, everyone would choose "marriage" over "civil union" in a heartbeat.

I must remind that "Civil Unions" were invented as the only choice for non-heterosexual couples to sign such a contract. It makes no sense to keep this term because under our laws, all humans are created equal; not even the existence of different sexual organs can alter that principle.

It may not be a "Christian marriage", but it's a marriage nonetheless as indicated by the laws we voted on.

TL;DR: It's the number, and NOT the gender or orientation of parents that matters in the healthy raising of children.

As interesting as that is.. I'm disappointed, even if it's not unexpected, that they don't just come out and say why they believe hairlessness (is that even a word?) is connected to humans becoming sapient and asks you to subscribe to read more..

So.. Someone subscribe and tell me, damnit!

I don't subscribe to this magazine, but I remember this issue came up before.

You would be surprised the amount of work it takes to cool the body. Perspiration frees the mouth to do other things than pant--like develop language. Sweating cannot function at maximum effectiveness if there is a layer of fur trapping heat. This effective (though water intensive) mechanism for temperature control increases the range of the human by keeping the body evenly cool while allowing more oxygen intake. This means better chances at hunting. But that also means that humans had to get more clever at hunting to match their extended range. And when you extend range beyond your indigenous biosphere, you have to get very clever at survival. Getting clever involves more nuanced communication skills, and thus a mouth unencumbered with thermo-regulative duties. Encountering cold environments forces the invention of clothing. It is easier to keep warm than to keep from overheating.

Head hair probably stayed as scalp protection from the sun, pubic hair holds sexual pheromones, and armpit hair wicks sweat away from the folds of the underarm to prevent mold and bacterial growth.

And all this came from us trading in our pelts for a body covered in sweat glands. A less than fashionable decision, but one that has benefited us greatly in the long run.

Add to that package opposable thumbs, proper feet built for walking and running, and color vision, and you got a recipe for bigger brains to handle all that potential.
