    Try increasing your salt intake. You can test this with water + salting to taste. If you have positive results invest in salt tablets to pick up on other micronutrients you’re also…

    I’m not judging but this reads, to me, like you’re bitter. The majority of men and women may pursue mates based on superficial qualities but there are plenty who do not. I separate…

    A few things. WRT suicides; are you for restricting access to anything used to cause suicide or just firearms? I’m just now reading this, take it with a grain of salt, but it’s saf…

    Yes, she said it. From what I can tell you've used what she said out of context. The way you used the quote implies that Oprah Winfrey wants these people to die or is imploring oth…

    Sure but harassment isn't. My understanding is that all of this is optional. As long as anonymous accounts are not abused there's no reason to filter them out. If anonymous account…

    Sounds like you should be doing this. I'd read it :)

    This is only semi-funny. Not sure why people feel the need to continuously post it here.

    Just want to point out that here in the US we don't require anyone to graduate high school. In most cases minors are required to attend school. My point is that, in the past, minor…

    Devil's advocate. Brandishing a firearm i.e. displaying but not drawing it could be considered an 'inactive' defense. Knowing someone owns an iPhone might dissuade one from attempt…

    I haven't read the article and am not interested in attacking the article. Some of us don't believe that others (not all) are arguing in good faith. I don't believe we'll stop talk…

    When I joined the Army I weighed ~ 120lbs. Less than a year later I had completed basic training, advanced infantry training, jump school and the Ranger Indoctrination Program (pro…

    I generally read comments here to see if an article is worth reading. I bounced back and forth on this article. I agree with you that the article is under generalized. It really ha…

    I agree. In addition bad for the US (it's people?) is different from bad for the NSA/ other government organizations.

    I didn't get that this was a joke. It's my fault, I read the first few lines and thought that you were serious and that it was a waste of time to continue reading. I actually came …

    > "picked the wrong guy to mess with" and "weren't ready for my $massive_gun" is commonplace. It's so common that it's a well established meme: http://i.imgur.com/TJUNFCg.jpg That'…

    I really have no idea but I've had them pick-up my belt buckle and keys before.

    I think the argument is that assault rifle has become a politically charged label that is meaningless. A rifle with a detachable magazine is just a rifle. Generally I agree that us…

    I didn't read the article you linked to and I'm not trying to contradict anything you've written. There are a few words in the citation that lead me to believe the article is biase…

    Where did the label "gun patriot" come from? I'm always interested with how people label themselves/others. This one is particularly interesting, to me, because I can't figure out …

    I use RSS, Google Reader, and Reeder on my iPad/iPhone. Still I think it's fair to say that RSS is dead because the general public does not use it. Of course that's also a good rea…

    Your example shows why context is important. You, of course, forgot to mention what OBL was responsible for and that he continued to incite violence after 9/11. I think you meant P…

    Also they didn't collect the information or share it with third parties and well it was a bug. I don't agree with the OP but I think it's unfair to contrast what Apple did with any…

    I'm not sure I follow. These two things would have to be equal to each other, or the same in some fashion. Of course I excluding the fact that both have laws that pertain to them.
