1) ***** your guns! ***** your guns! ***** your guns! ***** your guns a million times you friggin neanderthal!!!
As if this most insane, out of control and unconscious bunch of idiots that make up this ridiculous consumer driven, dominant culture needs more guns.
Good god.
2) Affirmative action helps those that are qualified but got a bad shake ... it levels a very uneven playing field ... an uneven playing field due to people like you!
1) I am guessing you don't own a gun? Why do you suggest taking away a responsible enthusiast's freedom even though it has no negative impact on you?
2.) How is a black person playing on an uneven field? btw, who's the president? Do you seriously think we have added votes to his final tally?
When they don't have to deal with idiots like yourself, I can completely belief it.
My friend, Under your principles, is it true that we need more laws and taxes in order to become safer, and wealthier?
Do you remember the flag of revolutionary USA? The Gagsden flag which boldly states, "Don't Tread on Me?" How does the modern day policies in California follow these principles of individual freedom?
Please let's keep our discussion respectful. I want the best for this country and so do you (I assume).
A libertarian believes in the maximum freedom for the individual without negavtively impacting others.
California- If you have a cell phone law, why not have an eating law? an ipod law? why not ban fast food?
Why not have just a distracted driving law to cover all irresponsible behavior? In some states, like Maine, they have "reckless or distracted driving laws."
It drives me crazy to see these idiots on their cell phones while driving and not paying attention. I lay it into with the horn when they don't notice their light is green because they are busy texting their friends. Cellphones are ridiculous nowadays, and I completely agree with this law for one.
It is not comparable to eating or listening to the radio for example.
Show some research that shows talking on a cell phone is more disruptive while driving than eating while driving.
Using your cell-phone while driving is not illegal in California, rather using a cell-phone without a headset. Talking on a cell phone is no more disruptive than talking to your wife while you drive, the main problems come from not having your hands free. But there are a number of things people do in the car that restrict their hand movement:
- Eating in the car.
- Putting on make-up in the car.
- Putting on a new CD in your CD player
and so on.

You are conveniently ignoring the rest of what he/she said. He said "Maximum freedom for the individual without negavtively impacting others."
The cell-phone issue is far from obvious, clearly to some degree it is disruptive and can cause more accidents. But so can numerous other things. If you are going to create laws against one, it makes little sense to create laws against others that are just as widely down. When you do this you are just trying to legislate behaviors, which reduces everyone's freedom.
2) This is bogus. How is lowering admissions standards for blacks and example of "qualified but got a bad shake". If that were how it worked then *poor* people of all colors would be admitted with lower entrance exam scores, right?
I might be wrong here, but that is not what affirmative action is. It is admitting a student or worker with similar abilities to the university or job. Where did you get this information? source please?

I own a few guns, and I am for gun control. I am also from Montana, and we make our own guns. But when I go to a gun show and see an AK-47 for sale with hardly any background checks (I could leave with it that day) as well as unlimited distribution of ammunition, even I can see there's something wrong with that.
You want to shoot an AK or any semi-automatic, then join the military. I don't need my meth-head neighbors having the ability to purchase a tool for murdering people thank you.

No, i do not have a gun ... kind of obvious.
Unfortunately, many, many, many gun owners are not "responsible enthusiasts" ... that should be obvious to anyone.
"How is a black person playing on an uneven field?"
Are you kidding?!!! You live in this country?
And that last sentence of yours ... i don't know what you're saying.
Care to re-word that so it's comprehensible?
That our president is African American shouldn't be used to back up the notion that racism does not exist in this country.
It most certainly does.
And how many people didn't vote for him? and how many people didn't vote for him 'cause he's black? lots!

We aren't for giving criminals guns to go murder people! Background checks are a must! We are against over regulation and believe it is a responsible American's freedom to own a gun whether for recreation or for responsible self defense of his property.
No gang member should have a gun.
No illegal should have a gun.
No terrorist should have a gun.
No killer should have a gun.
But why keep guns from a law-abiding hunter in West Texas?
