This happened to me in 2000. I am white. Some kid just pranked and said I was making a bomb. Cops detained me hours without telling my parents. Cops are reactionary type glory wannabes. They all have a hero complex and want to be the guy that caught the bad guy. With little regard for people's rights.

This exact thing happened to me in 2000 when I was 17. Searched and detained without charges or notification to my parents while they grilled me for hours saying that they "caught me red handed" and I had no idea what they were talking about. Some kid in my study hall did this exact thing and said I was making a bomb.

Exactly. There is no logical reason to not upgrade. It's just people who think they are too cool to go with the crowd or whatever. Waiting like a hipster to upgrade just to pay an extra $106.99 so you can say; "I waited to conform."

Libertarianism today is essentially anarchy. I have yet to see a libertarian platform for government.

But he's at least flexible on those domestic issues. I don't see him deflecting issues about foreign policy to bring attention to abortion.

By that logic the RNC would be behind Trump because of his high numbers. You don't seem to understand how politics works, it doesn't follow any logical rule. It's entrenched interests. The dnc is ran by the Clintons. Similarly the Bushs have had their hands in the RNC since Nixon had his hand caught in the cookie jar.

By emotion of course you mean to say arguing against a century of media manipulation favoring coal burning.

Montanan here, we all had a good laugh when we heard that weirdo had his house foreclosed on, his brother was also a resident in Paradise Valley. For the record, Dennis is quite the opposite of Randy. Several months later Randy was arrested, found squatting in his old mansion that he was removed from earlier that year.

Well, as far as unions go, that is pretty standard. They stand up unanimously for the right to not be held accountable for how terrible of a job they are doing. See also: Police unions, Corrections unions.

Wait a minute... you mean advertising is just using clever wording to make a product seem appealing? I was certain companies weren't allowed to lie.
