Believe it or not, it's official. It "supplements their funding."

Kicking the helpless. Shame on you. Still, gotta admit it's fun sometimes. Particularly when they're annoying.

Yeah, just terminology. For example, there is no rape in Wisconsin. They revised their code, and now traditional rape is "first-degree sexual assault" out of five degrees. Has the same effect. By Supreme Court dictate, it's a "felony" if and only if the maximum penalty is a year or more in...

Well, unless your "nation" is REALLY small. Russians are Russians. They ain't Westerners. Of course, everybody knows that's true about the Chinese. They'll continue to shock and surprise us as long as we continue to believe obvious rubbish like "everybody wants democracy (our version), Ford...

I'm sure some of their actions were against the law. That does not make the protest itself illegal, any more than a few people in a street march breaking windows makes the whole march illegal. Mentalfloss knows this as well as you do, and if the protest in question were my hypothetical above...

Hunh. That's breaking and entering in most states. Terminology thing. Yeah, I know all about the detractors. Knew a guy who wasn't usually a fool who talked about a guy who made a YouTube video where he put a dozen revolvers in a backpack, put it on backwards so the pack was on his chest...

Oh, right. Sorry. Just a dumb Indun. But smart enough to know there's never been communism on a scale of more'n 100 people or so. System don't work unless everybody in it knows everybody else personally. Marx was a clever and skilled critic, but his prescriptions were basically "bleeding...

They can both have advanced degrees in law and legal philosophy. The word of the Court is final (most judges have no more than the basic law degree, whether you call an an Ll.B. or a JD.

Hard no. Maybe the person you knew actually could be trusted with a gun, but we are not dealing with individual cases. Rules need to be made to the generic case. Fails on trespass and mental-health grounds. Just out of curiosity, in what situation is trespass a felony? Was it "with intent...

Hey, back in the days all y'all conservatives love so much, kids worked from the time they could stand. By 14 they'd be full time.

Hey, little kids need money too.

Well, if you're gonna play, I can hardly stand on the sidelines, can I? 1. No further importation of foreign-made firearms. If their people can't have them, why should they make money from our blood? 2. No further sale or transfer of any firearm capable of accepting a detachable box...

The discussion has happened. Repeatedly since Columbine. And the only effect has been further relaxation of gun laws. It is. "To save a fool from his folly, the gods themselves contend in vain." I will say that, except on a purely abstract level, I really don't much give a shit if a bunch...

Expensive? You bet.

It's not progress, but "having rational practical discussion in a functioning democracy," in point of fact, doesn't do any good. I speak from experience. Assuming the U.S. is a functioning democracy.

You ain't worth a bullet. Ammo's expensive.

They didn't have a Convoy Permit with Honk-Honk Waiver, countersigned by the RCMP and Drivearoundaimlessly Canada (formerly the Transit Ministry).

I've got a practical solution that would permit ownership of guns and meet all the reasonable desires of gun owners and would-be gun owners, whilst still making huge dents on both mass shootings and the instrument of about 95% of all gun homicides in the U.S. (handguns). Why bother? The...

Was is strictly necessary to editorialize in the headline? Isn't "stinging rebuke" kinda subjective? And what leads the author to conclude that "rebuking" Trump was any part of the motivation? Y'know, evidence?
