Your understanding of the economics is off here. Soda syrup is dirt cheap. A five gallon box of syrup costs between $40 and $75 and makes 30 GALLONS of soda. So the syrup costs the…

I'm not in favor of restricting soda, but I strongly contest the heroin example you're giving. To call that "treatment" is really playing with the terms and shifting the goal posts…

That wasn't immigration. That was the dislocation of one people by another. 90% of Indians died shortly after first contact because of smallpox, which moved faster than the Europea…

The ones who were engaged in tribal wars of conquest with each other before Europeans ever showed up?

You need only look at the banlieues of Paris, full of second and third generation Middle Easterners who hate France and hate French values to prove my point.

I'm sure it's the Europeans who feel very foolish right now, having taken in millions of refugees who don't share their values. Not gonna happen here folks. You're the one who will…

Great. It's about time that our immigration policy served our own self interests again. Taking people from the Middle East is a security nightmare and a cultural disaster. I don't …

I'm going to very amused as Google's "don't be evil" facade comes crumbling down, having lost their revolving door with the US government and protection from antitrust enforcement.…

Yes, there does have to be a winner and a loser. Given that ISIS aims for a global caliphate and the destruction of the US and Israel, I sure hope you want them to lose...

I can't put together a proof that we're the 'good' and they are 'bad' in some objective moral sense. We have our vision for what we want for the world and our nation, they have the…

"It is better to be feared than to be loved, if you cannot be both." Muslims are the primary victims of terrorists groups. They would be very happy to be rid of the likes of ISIS a…

It will only become easier and easier to do great harm to many people. And so there is no number of terrorists that is an acceptable risk. We can't allow these savages to keep deve…

I'm highly amused that you start with "actually, no it's not", implying that you are going to disagree with my comment, because you don't actually address anything I said. Did you …

It doesn't sound like ad purchasers have much of a choice here.

The fact that Obama wasn't as environmentalist as some would have liked doesn't change the fact that Trump is clearly much much less so.

This is a silly argument. Trump and Clinton competed for the electoral college, not the popular vote. Which means that Trump spent a lot of time campaigning for one electoral vote …

Like it or not, increasing fossil fuel extraction and cutting environmental regulations is now the policy of the President of the United States. The public communications of the ex…

It shouldn't be an ad network's job to adjudicate truth, especially given Google's monopolistic position. They should stick to selling and reselling eyeballs and clicks, and regula…

These critics don't understand what it means to get things done. It's becoming a meme at this point. Media for the last year and a half: "Donald Trump will NOT be able to build the…

This is driven by expectations of Trump's deregulatory agenda. He says he's going to cut 75% of regulations. I can't believe this is happening. America is back people.

Given that certain opinions are very unpopular around here, why should I be forced to use my primary account to post on political topics? If you look through the comment history of…
