I oppose those government confiscations which are not necessary to pay for legitimate government functions. User fees may be one way to pay for some parts of legitimate government actions, but I nevertheless support limited taxation for those purposes. (Anarcho-capitalists would disagree with me, ba...

OMG, a double rainbow! What does this mean?!

See, there's the problem, how the question is worded, quite unspecifically. I was just trying to provide multiple examples. Those results had a higher proportion of people in the middle than most of the other results, so I shared it. Most ideological typology polling ask a series of questions. But ...

And another Gallup result:

A similar typology from Gallup including the "centrists": http://media.reason.com/mc/eekins/2012_09/typology/IdeologicalTypology3.jpg?h=300&w=400 Another thing... swat raids on the dispensaries? aren't they legal? what's the point then? They're authorized by state law. Federal law stil...

3rd parties are only left the ideological fringes. http://i.imgur.com/oAjHA.jpg The drug control spending... what does it include? Federal spending on drug control policies. (There's more at the state level.) It includes a ton of stuff. Prevention programs, international investigations of cartels, ...

Barefoot and pregnant!

That would be awesome (and no, that's definitely not me as Confessions); good luck, Pwebbers!

Ditto!

My 2 cents re: potential Supreme Court nominees -- I'm not hopeful at all that Mitt Romney, if he were elected, would nominate another Clarence Thomas to the bench. I don't even trust him to nominate another Anthony Kennedy. If I had to guess, I'd suspect he'd nominate another David Souter (who was ...

Honestly, I have no idea. My in-laws found it and gave it to me for my birthday.

but yes, i disagree with Obama in the topics i know of that list. I always like to check, especially when someone says they disagree with virtually all of one of the candidate's positions. Because it seems to me that the two have policy preferences that are more often similar than they are differen...

But let's maybe try and have a dedicated thread for politics so this thread stays nice and calm?

Good call. Sorry, folks. (Mods, feel free to split.)

Both candidates? Am I missing something? The quoted text explicitly states that he disagrees with one of the candidates on almost every topic, not both. Those are just a few (of the many) things on which the two candidates have virtually no policy disagreements. You can't disagree with one without ...

Syphon the Sun

one of them i disagree with on basically every topic So you disagree with both candidates on issues like foreign wars, executive power, the PATRIOT Act, earmarks, nation building, foreign humanitarian intervention, drug decriminalization, federal subsidies (farm, energy, etc.), medical marijuana, d...

I've been super sick for the past week or so, and have been losing my voice. So of course I get 4 media bookings.

is there anything to like?

Not really.

Once Upon a Time

I just started watching this on Netflix last week. (Netflex recommended it as a 5-star match for us.) So good!

The smell is in my office, not my kitchen, but:

Shredded barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese, and a slice of cheddar, all on grilled multigrain bread.

That's what she said. Literally. She said it.

But... uh... "interact." Tee hee.

Around here, it's usually around $1/pound for most types of apples. But honeycrisps are always around $2.50-$3.00/pound (if I can find them at all). But they're so delicious. And huuuuge.

(and if she does kill, it’s just an accident, like the first book) True, she shoots to kill (and fails) in the second book, but her body count is one accidental/reflex kill by the end of the second book, and suddenly in the third book she’s killing people left and right.
