The NRA is a terrorist organization.
Discuss.
- Not just a terrorist group, but run by Russian spies.Discuss some more._niko
- Originally built by the CIA to arm every citizen for the world's largest army, without actually spending money on firearms.sted
- The NRA is a civil rights organization.IRNlun6
- Hey I don't make the news. Don't shoot the messenger!nb
- IRNIun6, same as Taliban and ISIS.zaq
- what?IRNlun6
- I'm not even in the NRA and think they don't represent Americans equally. Calling them terrorists is hyperbolic and unproductive.IRNlun6
- I would add "The most powerful terrorist organization".zaq
- Actually, "The most dangerous terrorist organization". Not one other organization comes closer to the number of casualties.zaq
- Calling them a civil rights organization is unproductive and hyperbolic.monospaced
- ... and yet... accurate.
Until you get rid of that 2nd amendment they most certainly are a civil rights org... like it or not.PonyBoy - I get it. It seems like a very cathartic declaration to call them terrorists. Just know it makes millions of Americans immediately tune out.IRNlun6
- And now we’re back to the gross misinterpretation of the amendment itself, and how it’s been distorted over the centuries.monospaced
- Right or not, the organization has a lot of blood on its hands to a lot of people. It doesn’t look like it’s doing a lot of good for the nation.monospaced
- What "gross misinterpretation" are you going on about?PonyBoy
- Seriously? How many gun collectors, hunters and licensed handgun owners are responsible for mass shootings again? Oh, that’s right none. GTFOH with that BS bro********
- The gullibility to think terrorism is real. It's all a hoax made up by the illuminati trying to trick you into thinking there is a population decline.deadsperm
- irrelevant, how many people with sucks are responsible for rape?zaq
- sucks = dicks (autocorrect)zaq
- Zaq, that’s apples to oranges bro not to mention a retarded analogy. A gun is not an appendage nor people born with.********
- Is the USA the only country with a population dumb enough to think that the guns the government LETS them have will allow them to protect themselves againstben_
- that same government?ben_
- 'dumb enough'? Do you have a clue how saturated we are w/guns?... and how many of our 'Government' would join the citizen side? I wish to not test this... :/PonyBoy
- There are a slew of Gov 'workers' from Military to FBI to local Cops that would join w/the average citizenry and take up arms against a 'tyrannical' Government.PonyBoy
- A good portion of them are NRA members to boot. If shit ever went south and people enacted their defensive rights against the Gov there would be a bloodbathPonyBoy
- I'm sure you're right about that, I wouldn't argue it at all. But the bloodbath would be in "favour" of the government.ben_

Greta Thunberg to the UN:
"You are failing us, but young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will never forgive you."
- Something is wrong when a 16 years old is telling these so called "leaders" how they should do their job.Maaku
- If there's only one person in this world I admire, it's her, unequivocally.Continuity
- Leaders fail by terrifying her with lies then sending her out to do their dirty work. We have technology coming online that reduces dependency on fossil fuels.IRNlun6
- Inspire kids. Not terrify them into thinking the world will end in 10 years. There already exists Gen IV nuclear tech that feeds on it's own waste.IRNlun6
- oh she gonna feel real stupid in 2020 when she's replaced by a younger, angry white girl who will be shaming the World at next years UN Climate talkrobotron3k

- So what?nb
- moving speech...too bad no one cares. Fuck this planet!utopian
- Some of you seem to be living in an alternate universe. In reality of course it's basically the opposite of what IRNlun6 said above -- the scientists are theyuekit
- ones raising the alarm about how urgent and dire the situation is. While the politicians, even leftie ones who claim to care about environmental issues,yuekit
- are the ones dragging their feet. And sure, maybe some new technology will be invented that will change everything. But we are running out of time to do it.yuekit
- 20,000+ years of CO2-free energy which can also be used for desalination.IRNlun6
- Please do tell how scientists and politicians will change anything with doom and gloom predications?IRNlun6
- Every bullshit treaty they propose also excludes China. Seceding our economic advantage to China will accelerate the destruction of the environment ten-fold.IRNlun6
- As I understand it, the scientists are saying we have x amount of time to dramatically reduce emissions or the situation will get much worse. Temperature risesyuekit
- are going to happen regardless at this point, but if we transition quickly we can avoid big increases that would really fuck up life on earth.yuekit
- And you're saying what...this isn't useful information because it's "doom and gloom"? The point is to push societies to take action.yuekit
- The next gen nuclear thing is interesting, but based on what I read it's still pretty speculative at this point. And more importantly...yuekit
- getting the entire world to run off that kind of energy is going to require massive spending and government intervention. Basically exactly what someone likeyuekit
- this Greta Thunberg girl and other environmental activists are calling for.yuekit
- Until insurance underwriters prevent building or mortgaging property anywhere near the coastline, the predictions are over blow.IRNlun6
- Thing is I'm all for environmental protections. Plastics are fucking awful. It's literally fucking up our hormones, affecting our DNA.IRNlun6
- you know that because scientists rang the alarm bells and people like this made a big deal about itmonospaced
- oh, and conservatives and republicans are fighting AGAINST environmental protections, which wreak havoc on our planet and bodies.monospaced
- so, if anything changes from these doom and gloom predicitons, it might include a reduction in plastics entering your food and body, and a healthier planetmonospaced
- Mono, NY has a larger economy than most countries. The infrastructure is fucking garbage. This can be said for countless cities across the country.IRNlun6
- Trusting politicians to implements solutions in such a complex system seems completely counter productive.IRNlun6
- The capital required, public/private partnerships are necessary. That's worked for countless industries including energy, military, space exploration, etc...IRNlun6

Calif. governor signs bill allowing college athletes to sign endorsements

"Colleges reap billions from student athletes but block them from earning a single dollar." —Gavin Newsom
*****
It's about time these kids got something out of it (and spare me your 'they get a free education' bullshit... these kids rake in millions for these schools (and sponsors - local to national))... it's about fucking time these kids got something back given they're the ones taking the beating.- fuuuuuu ... this is part of why schools are getting more expensive ... this is gonna be so much worse nowmonospaced
- how so? ...schools aren't paying the kids— endorsers are... there is no added cost to the school (they're not paying the kids a dime)PonyBoy
- What a weird industry. But fuck it, better than coming out in debt and killing themselves.PhanLo
- I stopped at the subhead, "In ripping the NCAA, Gov. Gavin Newsom said...". that mofo is our Trudeau and he's eyeing the WH in 2024! Mark my words!robotron3k
- How are the schools gonna pay for their D.I.E. departments now?Gnash
- Good for them kidspango
- The added cost is when the school builds bigger sports facilities or stadiums and pours money into the program to get more athletes.monospaced
- Schools, ultimately, pay for the kids who then get endorsements. That’s how it’s always worked.monospaced
- I think the money should be put in escrow otherwise it destroys the spirit of the student athlete. Imagine them pulling up in a Ferrari and an entourage._niko
- Or just do what baseball does and have semi- professional minor leagues. What’s the point of there one and done athletes anyway? College is pretty useless for t_niko
- Put it in a trust that they can access after they leave is what I meant to say a couple of notes up._niko
- What spirit are you talking about? the spirit that makes school billions while the students get treated like slaves? there's stories out there of top playerszarkonite
- going hungry because their scholarships were too stingy. This is ridiculous, if you have the talent to make that money then it's yours because this is America.zarkonite
- So much fun to be had with this if you're rich and have a sense of humor.mg33
- ... start a brand, make outrageous clothing nobody would be caught dead in, and pay student athletes millions to wear it 24/7.mg33
- What zark said. I know you're kidding mg33 but if this idea takes off countrywide you're looking at a new huge sports market that'll only keep 'us' busy—gimmie.PonyBoy
- You ever see Rudy? That’s the spirit of collegiate sports. Student athletes playing for the love of the game and for their school._niko
- Money made goes back into facilities, infrastructure, equipment, scholarships so that the next generation is able to reap the benefits of higher education_niko
- But that’s not what we’re talking about here. If Nike wants to throw money at Zion Williams so be it, he should be able to cash in on his image._niko
- Oxford vs Cambridge rowing, Michigan vs Ohio state football, duke vs North Carolina basketball you think anyone in the hundreds of years of these rivalries_niko
- ...Has stepped onto the field and thought, man this is bullshit I don’t want to be here without getting paid , this is “slave labour” lol_niko
