Here's the best thing about the lottery...
You're more likely to die as a consequence of leaving the house to buy your ticket, than you are to win.

If irl people ever talk to me about playing the lottery, my standard response is that I've decided to cut out the middle man and just throw my money on the floor instead. | |

this is why we need states rights. let shitcunts flock to new york and jersey and florida and california. watch as the states become a nightmare and people learn from their mistakes and masses flock to texas and colorado (like they already are), where the natives don't put up with this bullshit. |

It's a balance of power element embedded into the federalism of the US Constitution. It was intended to be substantially stronger than it is today. In the early decades of the country, the US wasn't even considered a country, but more like the EU is today except with some small tax power. A way of illustrating it is that Britain is to the EU today what Virginia (or other states) were to "the US" 150 years ago. |

question for da brits: is pikey a thing or did guy ritchie make it up? |

TL;DR: Anything not explicitly covered in the constitution as powers granted to the federal government (which are supposed to be relatively limited) are powers held by the individual states. | |

there's irony in that my polisci class on US government was essential for turning me anti-government, even though the class was not intended to do so. the key was in learning that "rights" are things granted to individuals by way of prohibition of government to impose its own will. governments don't *grant* rights, they *prohibit* their own. from this, freedom as a civil concept has arisen. |

the problem stems from the worldview that things are made up of victims and oppressors. it sees people from places less good than our own and calls them victims. this necessarily means that any who do not help these victims are oppressors. this framework encourages the willful ignorance needed to allow all these types of assault to so easily perpetuate. |

Well I mean that's one specific example, but when you have a ton of people that only take a little poking to spread your message far and wide, you can sell just about anything. What's perfect is that these people tend to have a sizable disposable income and an inclination to spent that money on things they deem "fashionable" in terms of ideology. If you want to reference my post about rich white men ruling the world, it's pretty much the same kind of thing. The most recent season of South Park kind of hinted at it too with the idea of people becoming ads through the SJW era. | |

Pepper spray would be more effective. No need to really aim, cant be disarmed as easily, no strength or skill requirement. And all u need to do is disable for 30 sec while u flee | |

lol at carrying a knife for self defense. Here, person who is exceptionally better suited for hand to hand combat, be pissed off that I ineptly tried to stab you and have fun mutilating me with my knife after you're done raping me. | |

My daughters are doing martial arts from a young age. If you split the population of women into 2 categories, those with black belts or better in some form of martial art and those without, holding for everything else, I bet my ass those with black belts get raped less. | |

well a gun is the best option. pepper spray is better than a knife in some ways but not others. overall i do agree with you though, spray is better. i just like knives a whole bunch. no way in hell id raise a girl who doesn't think the coolest thing in the world is carrying concealed weapons. plus my mind goes to knives immediately since theyre the thing im most afraid of. somebody with spray can hurt me, but somebody with a knife can scare me too. |

I watched an interview a while back with a prominent Muslim woman commentator on Islam (I forget who). I'll never forget the great point she made, that the treatment of women that Islam teaches allows men to never grow up. They get to stay 7 years old, behaving on emotion and incapable of responsibility for their actions. As adults this manifests as ease of raping women and it being her fault. |

I love a good, sharp knife. I stand firmly by the axiom that a sharp knife is a safe knife. A dull knife is more dangerous because it doesn't behave as expected, inducing frustration and less safe handling of the knife. | |

Yeah true. Not cut myself since. So granted, I'm more careful with the new knife. But haven't cut myself on a kitchen knife in the last 5 yrs (as far as I can remember ). Too early to tell of your theory holds as I've only owned the new one for less than a month. | |
