Has the site actually been running all this time? I notice that the generator tag says "FrontPage 12" (post-2003), and site has a TLS certificate, which in 1996 it most certainly would not have had.

The current domain registration also dates to 2003 and as someone lower in the thread notes the current owner is connected to "4president.org". I'm having trouble accessing old snapshots, though. The Internet Archive has one as far back as April 1, 2000, but the snapshot viewer has been giving 503 errors all morning.

I got the snapshot to load and it appears that at that point it was being sat on by scammy domain parkers, complete with promises of scandalous celebrity photos and dick pills.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Violent crime plummeted throughout the 90s because abortions was legalized in 1973, 17-27 years before 1990 and 2000, respectively, roughly coinciding with the early adulthood period where a vast majority of criminal offenses are committed, the offender having the freedom of an adult without the fully formed prefrontal cortex of one yet. The fetuses that were aborted were overwhelmingly from socioeconomic demographic…

This is likely a myth; crime dropped all across the developed world in a similar timeframe, but dates of legalisation of abortion likely don't line up. One popular speculation is the phasing out of leaded petrol, but really this one seems to remain a case of " shrug , dunno".

The world is complex and most phenomenons are high dimensional.

It’s very likely: - criminal potential populations were reduced - economics lead to stable options for more individuals in the late 90s - lead was removed - a myriad of other improvements in society that generally led to Less crime

I wish they would simulate the extremely slow load times to make it feel time-period accurate. You were waiting multiple seconds for images to appear before you even had any idea what you were looking at.

So like SPAs with the JS bundle today?

Someone please make these.

If I don't forget, maybe I'll make them this weekend! I should have all the ingredients already.

And use butter, not margarine. Companies claim their margarine tastes just like butter but butter would never claim to taste just like margarine.

The bottom of the page says "This Web Site is Presented for Educational Purposes by 4President.org"
