Law enforcement officers should always show a legal gun-carry permit before they shoot anyone.

Show it to whom?

To other law enforcement officers so they dont get arrested?

I’m sure the criminal already pointing a gun at them and about to pull the trigger will appreciate the gesture.

I think Barack Obama has been the best US President in my memory.

I just started a thread about it. Flame bait, of course.

But I just had to put it out there.

Everyone is a “person of color” unless they’re transparent.

We should use virtual (fictional) characters for child pornography so anyone can enjoy it without the expense of a real-life child's virginity.

do like they do down south of the border, and let pharmacists give medical advice pertaining to drugs. make these drugs OTC, no doc's prescription required.

I'm surprised this doesn't have more supporters in the US.

the AMA has tremendous political pull, and together with their GOP enablers has prevented any meaningful reform of our health care delivery and financing system for the better part of a century.

Is there evidence that this would work?

I'm unaware of any real-world location that enforces such a thing. It'd be one of many things I'd enforce though.

I wonder; perhaps sometimes things do need to be forced! Time is infinite, but we are not.

I present to you apparently the most unpopular political view ever.

We're not really doing that bad.

Objectively speaking, we live in the most peaceful, wealthy and productive time in the history of the planet.

But for some reason, everyone seems to be easily convinced by the idea that "The World Is Going To Hell In A Handbasket."

I also support an unconditional basic income guarantee, that does not go away once you start earning more money, because it's the only way to get the inherently massive amount of wealth America has to circulate.

We have so much wealth and production, it's not even funny. The only problem is that the most basic citizen does not have sufficient credit to circulate this wealth and stimulate the economy. I'm not proposing socialism, where the state controls the industries directly. I'm merely stating that the citizen needs to be guaranteed a certain potential to circulate wealth beyond the wage they can get on their own.

We are approaching a time in which any labor short of a Bachelor's Degree is unneeded as automation and efficiency skyrockets from technological growth. It is therefore necessary to give the hordes of future unemployed the ability to still purchase things to prevent the economy from locking up.
