From what I understand, they do things to people's butts. I don't know if that's your cup of tea or not, just saying...

It has in fact, always been interpreted that way, by anyone who can read and understand plain English. I suggest you learn yourself what 'bear' means. There are few clearer passages in the U.S. Constitution than the 2nd amendment. That it's even debated is testimony to just how mislead and lost the populace at large is. Though at this point there are oodles of other more glaring examples of that.... The U.S. Constitution is deader than Bernie was on that famed weekend, and it doesn't prop up quite so nice. I look forward to the day that you realize that. I give you enough credit to think that day it is coming, even if you do not.

Peterson has been around for awhile. I find it interesting that someone who spends a good deal of time pointing out the obvious is becoming more and more of a celebrity. Testimony to just how totally ****ed western Civ is and a great many of the people in it are at the moment.

My current thoughts on

This OP is really meh. However, the thread title does invoke one of the finest five minutes ever in cinema:

My opinion: Trump et all are playing with fire, no matter how you slice it. Bad stuff is a coming.... just how bad remains to be seen, though the kind of fire currently toyed with has potential for the kind of bad that will make '9/11' look like a relatively good day.

Which one was which again?

Oby was more coherent.

Nonsense be nonsense.

There are multiple grounds on which to sue, and at least a couple of them have solid ground. (Note that lawsuits don't always need solid ground to get off the ground) I'd be surprised if it ever went to court though. It is definitely in United Airline's best interest to offer Dr. Dao one hell of a settlement (with a standard non-disclosure agreement) to avoid the continued negative publicity, as well as some possible legal scenarios unfavorable to UA as well as potentially the airlines at large. This is something they want to put behind them asap.

She did, but the UN ambassador position has no actual power and is used (by basically everyone) for hatchet jobbing each other, the only dependant part is who is hatcheting whom at different times and on different issues. Samantha Power did exactly the same thing and said exactly the same things, nothing actually came of it. The US won't fight Russia unless they have to, and if they tried that they'd have to. We've also been told the strike is a one off, and that the US won't themselves remove Assad from power by people like McMaster and Tillerson who are far higher food chain than Haley. If it's Turkey andor Saudi & rebels vs Syria and Russia it's the latter who wins, every time. Saudi loses pathetically to shoeless Houthis and Turkey, well, they were just told that they weren't wanted for the Raqqa campaign because they were too crap. The US will try and leverage Assad out via Russia and try and block Iran off from western Syria with 'their' rebels (indeed, they already tried exactly that last year though they lost rather badly) and that's about it- unless something else changes, or they're bonkers. Well, they're definitely bonkers. You've got a guy who thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax as chief in commander, plus the usual Christian fundamentalist suspects. I have a nice bridge catalogue I'd like to show you.

That is problem with politics today. If you are doing it whole life you are so disconnected from majority of population. I think that it should be mandatory to work as middle class/lower class employee for at least 10 years until you are eligible to became politician Two words... TERM LIMITS. We need them in the worst way. There are term limits. They're called elections. If those aren't good enough, keeping people from voting in who they want is definitely not the answer. If ever there was a false light on the horizon, 'term limits' are it. They will do absolutely nothing to alleviate any of the problems in Washington, and very arguably and probably would exasperate them.

They've been trying, they aren't going to stop. They have proven again and again that they almost never do...

The Ottomans did such a much better job at all of this....

Never mind that 'Federally protected national preserves' are thoroughly unconstitutional. Never mind that giving a non elected body the power to 'regulate' is very arguably unconstitutional, and historically has always lead to thorough corruption...
