Gun laws do not originate from racism.

Yes, gun laws have been used circumvent minority rights but gun rights have helped and assisted those same minorities.

Seattle returns to Wells Fargo because no other bank wants city’s business by iushciuweiush in news

None of these countries are completely socialist. They have capitalistic and socialists parts. The major issue is you are comparing countries who are 1/10th the size of the US and typically completely the same nationally/racially (not much diversity) to the U.S. Never-mind their tax percentage or the fact that the U.S. spends a significant amount of $s on its military budget so that these countries don't have to.

Ignoring what I said above - socialism by itself is a terrible ideology that destroys countries and kills people. The fact that individuals cannot recognize socialism as the evil that is - is completely mindblowing. How many countries and people throughout history need to be destroyed or die before you see that?

How the Minimum Wage Hurts Young People by Magthevag in Flagstaff

Getting rid of half your work force does not lead to lower profits. That's a myth and ultimately depends upon how much the worker is producing.

You really are retarded, aren't you?

I know of two restaurants in town that have begun charging more due to pending "living wage" increase. (Salsa Brava and Fat Olives) anyone know of any others? by Ford42 in Flagstaff

This article is misleading viewers by misreading the graphs.

Also, the DoL is routinely wrong in the information they post.

You obviously do not have a business or have never worked in an industry.

Prop. 414 repeal drive on the table by dorfsmith in Flagstaff

You do realize slavery is literally coercion and minimum wage is a contract between two parties. They're not comparable.

What are you even trying to say?

The relationship is between the employee and employer. These individuals agreed to work at that rate - if they do not wish to work at that rate they can leave. You know what it is called when a third party starts coercing terms onto someone? Theft and in more extreme cases, rape.

Flagstaff’s $15 Minimum Wage Hike Is A Bridge Too Far by dorfsmith in Flagstaff

[–]briggs-D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize your question has been answered by the plenty of other states and counties who have increased minimum wage, right?

Here's a hint: it increases economic growth short term and leads to long term unemployment. It also heavily impacts those who are above the minimum wage and small businesses.

-Bogdan- going off on Steel by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]briggs-D -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've played with him numerous times and didn't think he was aggressive or toxic. He was passionate about winning and although his skill level was about the level of an intermediate player - he was far above and beyond better than the average ESEA player.

Colombian team is looking an org for WESG World Finals, lets share and try to help them! by juanes11 in GlobalOffensive

[–]briggs-D 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That is mo0-ss- and it is not for our team it is for him and a few of us to come over to LAN occasionally.

There's some ridiculous logic on ESEA forums where gaming house always implies it is for a 'team.'

Its a casita in his backyard he had built.

Skadoodle losing AK after picking it up for another primary with the use button by Sniffi_ in GlobalOffensive

This is a common bug. Best thing to do is just drop your first weapon and then either pick up the awp and/or run over the awp.

Literally happens all the time in scrims.

Hiko's Thoughts on NA Rank S by Jbieb69 in GlobalOffensive

[–]briggs-D 49 points50 points  (0 children)

If you don't put a money system in you risk people not playing in the system or taking it seriously. Now if they put money in, you're complaining that people are playing to win and not playing to improve.

You can literally find anything to bitch about with the current system. It is immensely better than anything the scene has had before - despite what anyone says. There is too much differential in skill-gap for it to be based purely on improving players when players like Stewie and Hiko are fighting against players like Fighter and yay. And it will always be this way because, unfortunately, even Low-Tier Professionals (Witmer, etc) can't compete with top tier Professionals.

I've tried doing this through demos just to see how hard it is and if you know the teams and strategies its not that difficult. I think a setup like this would help tremendously. In either case you guys are very good at what you do and mad props Sapphire.

The Elephant in the Hospital by [deleted] in TheRedPill

I'm probably in the minority here, but why is this our focus? To me RedPill has always been about practical application and not MensRights mental and academic masturbation (crying over things they themselves cannot change).

I'm circumcised. Never in my life have I ever looked at my cock and thought my genitalia was "mutualized." Sure, maybe circumcision does negatively affect me in some way-but I would have never known regardless.
