    Connecticut School shooting!

    While I often disagree with you, I tend to agree with this entirely. In a country with 310 million people, a few every year are going to snap and go off. It is impossible to prevent all of them. Make mental health resources cheaper, use existing law enforcement. Other than that, we can...

    Petition to define Westboro as official hate group.

    Well, they ARE a hate group. That much is self-evident. However, I fail to see the point of officially defining them as such.

    Connecticut School shooting!

    I don't think gun control would work to prevent incidents like what this thread is about. I'm against it because I think it will be ineffective. With or without 2A, I think we have to honor the general principle of personal freedom unless there is a compelling reason not to, and that means not...

    Breaking: US sending 400 soldiers, Air Defense to Turkey

    This kind of congenital stupidity is frankly why I don't post here much any more.

    Connecticut School shooting!

    Who is to say that there were any signs of mental health issues on the mother's part before she had this child? Mental illness can manifest at any time in a person's life. My hunch is that rich hubby left in 2009 because the wife was getting nutty. But she probably wasn't nutty when they got...

    Connecticut School shooting!

    I don't know what kind of laws would have averted this crime, unless it's banning all guns, and being able to actually do it effectively. On the mental health front, all certain people knew was that the kid was odd and socially awkward. The descriptions sound a lot like Asperger's to me...

    Obama: "Doesn't make sense...to focus on recreational drug users"

    That would be about the average age of people who still use that particular terms, yes. I recall representing someone before a county Board of Supervisors who was trying to get approval to open a dispensary. There was this town meeting where a bunch of people who lived near the place for the...

    Bobby Jindal: Birth Control Should Be Over-The-Counter

    Honestly I can't believe he is being considered for a 2016 run. Did you see his speech in response to Obama's address to Congress in '09? It wasn't just the substance that was bad. He comes across as weak and feckless. It wasn't just one bad speech either. You can't fix an inherent lack of...

    huckabee attributes kiddie shooting to separation of church and state

    I'm no great fan of LL, but I'm pretty sure he's saying that Huckabee is wrong to suggest that introducing religion into the equation would have prevented this act of violence because there is, after all, much violence which is motivated by religion. Not quite the same thing as saying there...

    Who is being an "honest Broker" in the debt ceiling negotiations?

    If they compromise on the tax increases and spending cuts, I don't really care if the debt ceiling gets raised as "part of the deal" or if it's seen as a separate thing. In the long run, it needs to go away entirely. Using legislation to artificially create a very real crisis every year is...

    Obama: "Doesn't make sense...to focus on recreational drug users"

    This implies that liberals approved of his original opposition to gay marriage. I'm not aware that they did, making this essentially a straw man.

    Obama: "Doesn't make sense...to focus on recreational drug users"

    No, but he he has the power to decide how to prioritize finite resources. The distinction may seem subtle, but it's a very important one.

    Connecticut School shooting!

    Sure, but what you're talking about here is locking up a bunch of people who haven't committed a crime. Violence is actually quite difficult to predict, even by professionals. Generally homicidal ideation is not acted upon. To resolve the ambiguity in favor of public safety will mean locking...

    New Analysis of Peer Reviewed Climate Change Articles Reinforces Disbelief in Man

    The blogger read portions of these articles, or so he says. That negates many of these observations. Not going through all of them to tally it. Have you tallied it? If so, what is the number you've come up with? This is at least on point to what I what I have said. However, it is...

    huckabee attributes kiddie shooting to separation of church and state

    Is this the same Mike Huckabee who pardoned a guy who went on to murder 4 police officers? I wonder if he has a religious theory on how that occurred.

    Connecticut School shooting!

    It isn't fatalism, though I can understand why you think of it that way. It's that the changes required to substantially reduce the likelihood of these kinds of events would either 1) not work, or 2) might work but are unacceptable for other reasons. It's too late for gun control in this...

    New Analysis of Peer Reviewed Climate Change Articles Reinforces Disbelief in Man

    I haven't seen "extensive debunking" of the OP. And if it HAS been debunked, it wasn't at all by the website sited by Monovillage. You yourself quoted the disclaimer. The OP was talking about articles whose author has a skeptical viewpoint. What Mono sited was a website which purports to...

    Who is being an "honest Broker" in the debt ceiling negotiations?

    Maybe it will sink in if someone else says it? Holding a catastrophe over everyone's head as a negotiating tactic is a non-starter. If you give in to the blackmailer, you are only postponing catastrophe. It isn't really all that different from negotiating with terrorists. The demands will...

    New Analysis of Peer Reviewed Climate Change Articles Reinforces Disbelief in Man

    What does THAT mean? What you presented had nothing whatsoever to do with what was sited by the OP. The skeptic can find "data" to support his skepticism wherever he looks. So what? Go read the disclaimer on the website you linked. The author of it admits it straight up. Those articles are...

    Connecticut School shooting!

    Stop searching for solutions and answers for this kind of tragedy. There aren't any. Not gun control, nor mental health resources, nor school security. Nothing will stop it from occurring here and there. We cannot stop pathological narcissism from emerging as a character trait in some...

    New Analysis of Peer Reviewed Climate Change Articles Reinforces Disbelief in Man

    Pages of this thread and no one has read the "disclaimer" in your first link, the one where it says that this is not a list of skeptical articles. It is a list of articles which they *believe* contain one or more data points which support a skeptical position, regardless of whether the author...

    Obama caving in on Bush tax cuts for Top2%?

    What difference does it make if the revenue comes from raising the marginal rate or eliminating deductions? This isn't Obama caving. This is the GOP caving. Obama should take this opening.

    PSA to fellow liberals: Conservatives don't want our advice on how to win elections

    If they want to think that running far right candidates will win them elections, let them think it. Just be aware that the logic runs like this: we lost an election to a liberal because we didn't run far enough to the right. If they don't want our advice on how to think logically, that's their...

    Who's losing their job?

    Wait a minute. Does anyone possess macroeconomic statistics to indicate a recent trend of job losses? If so, then we'd have reason to discuss what the cause might be. So far, I've seen anecdotes about companies laying off people for unproven reasons. But people get laid off all the time...

    5 days from fundamentally transforming America

    How is predicting something so inaccurately that you're willing to risk your money on it "standing by your values?" I can give him credit for paying up, but not for being delusional. Standing by one's values doesn't mean letting your brain be co-opted by emotion. Dude, even YOU called Obama...

    The polls were biased...in Romney's favor

    I did some checking of the results against the polls. They turned out to be biased in favor of Romney to a moderate degree. Here are the results against the RCP pre-election poll averages. I am using RCP because they used raw averages rather than adjusting pollsters based on past accuracy...

    Boehner [doesn't] fold on taxes

    This. The GOP is cornered on this, especially on the Bush tax cuts, because they all expire if Congress simply does nothing. Once they expire, the dems just sponsor a bill that cuts taxes for the middle class, and the GOP can either support it or oppose a middle class tax cut, at their...

    Prediction II, prepare for the GOP Scorched earth strategy. (Nero Decree)

    I dunno. The obstructionism worked quite well for the 2010 mid terms. I think it didn't work for the 2012 POTUS election because Obama just has a high likeability factor, and his campaign team is about the most effective in American history. With just an average campaign team, I think Obama...

    And why should we care about your constant childish pretensions and elitism? And I thought it was the left that was supposed to be elitist. You predicted a Romney landslide. That makes you out of touch with reality, and accordingly, irrelevant. There isn't much else about you that is worthy...

    Obama has won. Why is the HOUSE still under Repub control?

    Given that the dems gained 2 seats in the Senate, in a year where most of the incumbents were dem making them vulnerable, I'd say that re-districting was probably the main reason for the House results.

    Rassmussen vs Nate Silver

    Yep, 50 of 50 this time. Even I still thought Florida would go narrowly to Romney. I said before that his prediction of Obama up by 2.5% on the PV was a stretch, and it looks like his actual margin will be a bit over 1%, but we'll see.

    Some polls now have Romney ahead.

    I'm pleased at the outcome, obviously. Not interested in going off on Buckshot, but there is a larger point to be made here. When we as amateurs decide to disregard expert conventional wisdom, we're probably going to be wrong. That includes polling, climate science, biology, economics...
