12/20/12, 15:45 Oh god, the way it clings to the knife every time she tries to cut it.
FUN FACT: Velveeta can not be legally marketed and sold as "a cheese". It is instead a form of "cheese food" (vaguely cheeselike material that the FDA will not classify as cheese); specifically, a "pasteurized processed cheese spread".
Discover Magazine had an interesting article on the stuff last year:

12/19/12, 18:30 No, not just a frat ritual.

12/19/12, 18:08 Bort - but this is ALREADY the case. No civilians have legal access to guns capable of mowing down armies. Even allowing for hyperbole, federal and most state laws prevent guns that approach anywhere near military specifications from being sold legally. If it's true that restrictions on assault weapons are all that's being suggested, then where's the issue? Where's "the change", as Obama put it?
In fact, the current crisis de jour, the Newtown killings, was carried out not by a gun nut decked out like Duke Nukem, but by a kid with some very modest firearms, which he came across in one of the least gun-friendly states in the Union. Why would we want to ban guns that are already banned, when the "national tragedy" was perpetrated mainly by a fairly dinky, legal, made-in-a-Blue-State .223 semi automatic?
Now you may be right. We (by which I mean us humble proles a thousand miles from the corridors of power) are still just speculating. Politicians and the news media are still just posturing and thumping their podiums; there has not, to my knowledge, been any actual bills presented yet. We won't know until then exactly how far the President and Congress are looking to take this latest gun-control thing.
The most prudent course of action, then, would be to decide, for oneself, just how far is too far? Or, conversley, just how far is far enough? Are we looking to simply limit private access to high end automatic weapons?
Where exactly are we, the individual components of the poeTV Hive Mind, hoping this latest Washington fagdance winds up? |  | Bryan Fischer - God Gave Us Guns to Protect Kids
12/19/12, 17:36 K leenex and Stanley- is that such a bad thing? Switzerland's approach to the military, that is.
Swtizerland lacks a standing army, yet encourages military training for each of it's citizens, with the express purpose of being able to call up this citizen-militia should it ever be needed. They're the Montana of Europe, but crazy as it aounds, it works. Now I'm not saying we should disband our standing military (as you suggest, Stanley, I don't consider the National Guard to be "a militia", at least not in the constitutional sense) and focus our energies on churning out officially licensed groups of survivalists. But it is something to think about, because whatever Switzerland is doing, the numbers are clear: it works.
And yes, statistically speaking, cars are much more deadly than guns, and this despite the fact that they weren't engineered specifically to kill people (well, except for the Chevy Corvair). And this is an issue that, theoretically, be fixed by the "benevolent paternalism" of state regulations. Ban the private ownership of cars. Expand public transportation, and require all people to use these state provided services. This would drastically cut down on road fatalities, since buses staffed by state vetted professionals are far "safer" than privately owned death boxes which may, in fact, be driven by a maniac. We'd also greatly reduce polution, gas use, foreign oil dependence, and make the society-wide switch over to renewable fuel sources faster and simpler. Private citizens would still have access to the "transportation services" we need, all it'd cost us is our current (wasteful and highly dangerous) reliance on providing these services ourselves. Just as we still have access to "protective services" (the modern police system), at the cost of our protective self-reliance (armed vigilantism). |  | Bryan Fischer - God Gave Us Guns to Protect Kids
12/19/12, 16:54 Vaidency - if we're just talking about "vigilantism", then that's great. All we have to do is *nothing*, since we've already got a society in which most citizens do not own guns, and gun nuts are not allowed to meet out justice whenever and wherever they see fit. So long as the question is "do we need MORE guns", then I think we can all safely say, no, no we don't.
But that isn't the only question being raised here. The real question- or rather, the one which the Obama administration is raising; if it's not your intention to raise this question yourself, I apologise if I sound like I'm trying to put words in your mouth- is: "do we need LESS guns". These two questions are not necessarily correlated. If it is the case that we do not need more guns, it does not follow that we must then need fewer guns.
As for how many, I don't know. I do know that sixteen is an awfully small number for such an awfully large country, and that the chances of you or anyone you love being killed by an assault rifle wielding mass murderer are far slimer than the chances of you being killed by a car, or by a gas leak, or by a cop, all of which are dangers that we as a society seem ready to accept. I also know that this is a far less common occurence than being blown up in one of Obama's many Congressionally unauthorized airstrikes or being hurled into a prison camp without trial, both of which are issues that really ARE the President's responsibility, and really CAN be solved with just a single executive decision. So once we start fixing those things, and showing that we (by which I mean Washington) are capable of prioritizing our moral crusades, then maybe I'll be more inclined to view sixteen as a number that begs us to throw out our constitutionally guaranteed decentralization of force. |  | Air Refueling Close Call

12/19/12, 12:36 Are we talking about "vigilantism", or "gun ownership" here?
Because if it's the politics of gun ownership we're talking here, and not some absurd straw man scenario in which Christians are allowed to go around opening fire on anyone who dares take the Lord's name in vain, then an example from the PRESENT would be Switzerland. Switzerland's got one of the most relaxed attitudes towards gun ownership in the world; with nearly half a million privately owned automatic weapons, they make Texas look like France. Yet they have about forty incidents of gun related violence per year.
I know guns are scary, and I know it often seems like the only way we can save ourselves from being shot to death from the trenchcoat wearing gangs of Xtian gunslingers roaming our streets is to get rid of all guns, and embrace more fully the security, wisdom, and protection offered to us by our friends, the police and the corporate-owned state. But there's simply no rational reason to believe that, assuming gun violence really IS a statistically significant problem in this country, a problem that's so pressing that we can and should ignore the needs of freedom in favour of the comforts of security, that the only, let alone best, answer is to saddle the people with further restrictions on gun ownership.
But hey, we've experienced A Tragedy. We have to act, now, on our feelings, before people stop caring again. |  | Happy People: A Year in the Taiga

12/19/12, 06:12 See, it's funny, because the Obama Administration has been aggressively persecuting the War on Drugs, using federal authority to completely disregard state marijuana legalization laws that have been on the books since the early Bush years. By taking audio clips of Obama's famously frank drug use confessionals, and re-contextualizing them within the framework of a national drug abuse hotline (which takes a passive, voluntary, individual, and *non-punitive* approach to the "problem" of drug use), the pranksters-as-artist are making a powerful statement about the moral hypocrisy of paternalism, the betrayal of ideals felt by Obama's early supporters on the libertarian-left, the madness of a prison-industrial systems commanded by an insulated caste of above-the-law drug-users, and hurggldurffgrrrbhrrf.
Other than that, it wasn't very funny. |  | Anna Nicole Smith on Late Night with Conan O'Brien
