And then the freedom to expect others to pay when you can't pay the ER bill because you're too irresponsible to get insurance and the ultimate freedom of blaming everything resulting from your wrong decisions on Obama.

The excuse Charles used to give was that mods have more to do with their time than sift through the website looking for wrongdoing and will simply react to specific reports. I would have thought that once a thread was highlighted as being one that was 'contentious' above the ordinary ####### for tat bickering that goes on, a mod would be required to monitor that thread but, I think it's quite clear that that does not happen. Only reported posts will be assessed for 'insulting language'. The tone of the thread? Who starts the flaming? Really doesn't matter, if it's not reported, it will go unquestioned.

Oh goody, the 'websensor' thinks that ####### for tat is sexually explicit. Epic!

No, the migrants themselves said their choice to migrate to the US was, not their choice to migrate was. Your wonderful article has mingled the answers to two entirely different questions to get the outrage they desire. You bought it. Enjoy.

The so called 'American Dream' only has any appeal at all if you are dissatisfied in some way with your current situation. Believe it or not, must citizens of other countries are actually quite proud of their heritage and hesitate to leave it and will only do so if they feel that that is the only way to improve their situation. It's not a whim for most migrants, especially if that whim involves an extremely arduous and dangerous journey to fulfill. No one undertakes a journey like that because the grass is a bit greener on the other side.
However, yes, there are most certainly flaws with current immigration laws and blaming it on one president, the current one because of some nutty personal prejudice is ridiculous, of course.

Indeed, who needs Doctors? Everyone should just have their own prescription pad issued at birth.
I have no idea why you paid $300 for antibiotics. Even without insurance it is easy to find places that issue prescriptions for under $50.

Oh, the freedom to prescribe oneself antibiotics as and when one wants to. What could possibly go wrong with that? Regulations? Phut, who needs em?

Well, that's an analogy I can ignore for being completely pointless.

I blame it on Obama. There. Someone had to say it.

I am sure that means something to you. As an observation on the political leanings of the criminal classes, not so much.

Lucky you, and yet, have you ever been attacked, even a little bit? Unless you indulge in criminal pass times, or are part of some kind of vigilante group, you are very, very unlikely to get attacked by anyone, meth head or not. So, your obsession with the best way to mitigate against an unprovoked attack is just that an obsession. It may be something you enjoy doing, it may consume your free time, but, it is still mitigating against an event so unlikely as to render your preparations meaningless. If you want to worry about something, worry about getting involved in a car accident with a teenager, that is several hundred times more likely to happen

What odd ideas people have, criminals have a left wing bias. Another brilliant VJ expose

No, I don't think I said that. Do you think I said that? I really don't think I did. Explain how you think that's what I said, when what I actually said was the riskiest group of drivers is teenagers?

There is ample evidence that she is qualified to do the job, she's been appointed. The only evidence that she is not is of the 'she can't be, she's a woman and women can only be appointed to anything important if they are given a free pass with affirmative action' variety. That's not exactly compelling but I am sure if you are of the persuasion that it's a self evident truth, it doesn't need to be, clearly.

I am sure, in her lofty position she really cares what you think she looks like. Typical though, a woman has to be seen through the prism of 'is she hot or not' by some blokes regardless of any other qualification a woman has. Must be wonderful to be you, controlled by your ####### rather than your brain.

The only people I know that seem to be duty bound to tell you that they do not drink are alcoholics in recovery and these people have an extraordinary relationship with alcohol and people who do drink. The people I know who are not interested in drinking never mention how little they drink. Just an observation.

Just means we need more cops and more spies and more NSA surveillance.

Would you drink as much if you thought all your close friends might be agents of the State?

The Egyptians did not build condos on the flood plains. They used the land for agriculture. Very different use.

No, opinion piece = article devoid of facts, just presenting an opinion, which can be anything from a reasoned and well argued opinion from someone who has knowlege on a subject or just a spurious vehicle for vitriol.
Reliable news source = anything that sites source material that can be independently verified.

The sad thing is, you actually believe that what you posted is reliable and presents facts. That's a truly sad indictment of the US educational system.

Granted the internet and other modern technology make it easier for pedophiles to lure their victims, but I don't believe that pedophilia in general is any more prevalant today than it was 30 or 100 years ago. Also, the coverage of these crimes in the media is much more pronounced.

Nonsense! We all know that everything on the interwebs is true!

Seriously, why is this sort on content allowed on VJ? It is clearly trolling Muslim VJers.
Muslims responsible for widespread rapes in Sweden and "how long will it be before the US follows suit?". That's a reasonable perspective for a thread on this board isn't it
Conversely, a thread by an Israeli conscientious objector is closed for 'baiting', where is the logic here? Is there any?

The KKK is a christian organisation? Priceless.

When you want to prove a point, first, find some source material that has specific examples, preferably related to actual statistical data and analysis, not just I feel that, I think that, and it seems that. So, this is a particularly pernicious opinion piece, that some people are clearly buying into because of their belief that muslims are, inherently bad people and bring bad into the community. That is hogwash. I tried really hard to find any actual facts in this long and, sensationally written article. I failed, there are NONE. Never having lives in Sweden just about sums it up, the writer doesn't even have personal experience to go on. I can't be bothered to look into it any further, there is simply nothing to contradict except someone's personal opinion. Well, I don't share it.
