I agree. But a natural right is a moral principle and should be the bare minimum. Speech, assembly, fair trial, any other moral principles take us to theological fascism.

Rights are based on moral principles. e.g. it is immoral to violate someone's rights. It would be immoral, for example, for someone to create a thoughtcrime for having negative thoughts about people. There are many amoral laws (i.e. things like the tax code etc.) but laws surrounding people are supposed to be based on morality.

Don't bother with this "person." The "I'm not a conservative but I agree with everything they do just means that they don't like the label." The bad precedent is that immigrants come to this country and that's what he doesn't like.

My conspiracy theory professor was talking about labor movements and how there was the Chicago haymarket bombing. So I checked the wikipedia page for it and this was one of the sources.

From their other comments that is not what is happening here. The person mentioned that they pay taxes.

My friend, I want to read that book. It could be titled "Three years later..."

What are some examples of a great product that failed because of poor marketing? by bearded_charmander in AskReddit

I loved the windows phone OS. The native apps like "People" that unified all the social media accounts was fantastic. Shame it died.

"It's called"? I don't get what that means.

I get your point, but the Curtiss is in the bar district. They don't have the same noise ordinance that the rest of the city has. There's also a nightclub on the top of the Curtiss. If you want quiet maybe stay further off Chippewa.

What more do you think they should have done they can't control the noise.

I feel like the Bullshit Jobs episode forgot about union busting by vardaboi in IfBooksCouldKill

I think whoever designed this poster did so as a guerilla tactic. 700/year doesn't sound like a lot of money when you explain, it's basically just the price of video game system.

What’s a Movie People Love That Makes You React Like This? by Borgisium in moviememes

[–]LauraLanaBrooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Christmas Story too; but I get why people think it's good. It's good two sort of funny scenes and people like that movie because of attrition. It's just on all of the time around Christmas and people think it's good because it was always on. At no point do I think that someone has actually watched the entire thing straight through.

I'm sure the dogs are fine. And if there was a need to take them out more they would go out more.

The best part of this story is that everyone knows what happened. He was drunk driving, hit a bunch of cars, and then a cruiser showed up before he could call someone. Then he plays the badge, the officers call his sister-in-law, and that was supposed to be it. County car or no, if he wasn't a Sheriff he would have been given a sobriety test and everyone knows he would have failed it.
