What does your experience on social media have to do with free speech?

Qualified Immunity is the most bizarre and backward doctrine. It basically says that the constitution--you know, that piece of law that lays out how the government will protect its people from itself?--that it doesn't always apply. As long as the government can think of a slightly new way to violate it, then it doesn't count.

Good news? I mean, I'm glad that the baby-eating machine was stopped for a day, but I don't think this story is good news, just not-bad news.

You forgot to mention where those cartels get their guns from...

Could you imagine if this Jesus person was real? He'd probably be livid at the blatant misrepresentation that people like this are displaying.

You're just avoiding the question. Declaring it so does not make it so.

Commented. Thank you for the link.

Cuba never flew a plane into a building.

Uh, this has already been answered. Every developed nation with strict gun control is safer.

Nope. Atheism is the lack of a logical assertation.

we could colonize the entire galaxy in 200 million years

This is just extrapolating based on math, while ignoring the reality of the actual situation.

Even if we have an amazing breakthrough tomorrow, the reality of interstellar colonization is that you would necessarily be creating two different species by doing so. They would have very little reason to cooperate after a relatively short time. Space is huge, y'all. Communication would be cumbersome at first, and rapidly get worse as the two different species diverged, first culturally, then physically.

And that's even assuming that we would do it. You're basically asking a large group of people to sacrifice enormously for, at best, a marginal benefit. We can't even convince people to stop burning coal, and that's for our own enormous benifit.
