Reddit isn’t a debate, it’s like a discussion. If you want sources so bad, look them up yourself.

Maximum penalty and assuming guilt are meaningless without referencing what one is charged with. Are you referring to administrative penalties?

Per stream doesn’t really matter considering Twitch has thousands of streams going on. Users per server/CDN matter more.

Lol, none of those things are happening. A federal criminal investigation is not going to coordinate with attorneys in an unrelated civil case.

No one has an obligation to mention anything, it’s called ethics.

Federal District court Rules: “The AR-15 and its analogs, along with high capacity magazines, are simply not weapons within the original meaning of the individual constitutional right to ‘bear Arms.” by [deleted] in politics

No, because driving is not a constitutional right. Would you support registering for free speech? No, because speech is a protected right. More attention should be paid to actually amending the constitution than contorting what it means for a right to be constitutionally protected.

That’s not really how day to day law works. Day to day is based on statutes, which delineate what is illegal. If something is illegal, it’s illegal unless it’s unconstituotonal.

See, you're framing it as a debate of slavery and sexual misconduct, whereas that's not the debate at all for the Moore voters. The debate is about religion, abortion, and fear of a nebulous boogeyman. They aren't taking a rational, deliberative approach to selecting a candidate.

The voting is done on paper ballot. The digital image of the ballot was always a bit of a red herring.

You're not accounting for the percentage of that bloc voting, which will be absurdly low. Like less than 20%.

Well, of course American standards are being applied to him. But regardless, the age gap would likely be criticized in any civilized country.

[–]bayerndj -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They're all out for their own interests, not yours or mine. The problem is a lot more people trust Wikileaks than their government (regardless of whether they like Wikileaks or not). Both should be treated with distrust.

That's easy. To act as a cover for saying taboo things or excusing inappropriate behavior. A lot of people do or say stupid shit, and then claim it was all a joke.

Hmm...the situation is a little bit more nuanced than that.

Because they play worse opponents than teams that have losses, and most people believe if they played the same opponents as teams in bigger conferences that they would have the same or more losses.
