love how they always go to the RPG, tank, nuclear option to discuss limits.

And yes, if I could pay a $200 tax stamp and afford one, I would have all of the above. lolz

Plenty of people own armored and tracked vehicles. Some people even own tanks, although a tank with no working machine gun or main gun is sort of like owning a castrated stud bull.

If a person has enough money, they can own just about anything. If I own a nuclear weapon, have the ability to safeguard it, but never use it, who is harmed? The criminal aspect should be in the act not in the ownership.

Find the thing a progressive owns and loves and then threaten to have the government take it from them by force. I'm still not certain that they would understand.

That is similar to people suggesting that marrying an animal is the next step after gay marriage.

Would you apply this to an Iran nuclear program?

I have not formed an opinion on Iran.

I bet they'd throw a fit if it was iPhones that we're going to be taken away.

My comments are focused on the rights of US citizens under our Constitution. I am not entirely convinced that international law exists except in the most rudimentary sense of national self interest.

Iran will have nuclear weapons unless another nation takes action to prevent them from having those weapons. Many countries have been wary of trusting the USA due to the mercurial nature of our internal politics.

If Iran had nuclear weapons, they safeguarded those weapons, and NEVER used them, who would be harmed? I believe the problem is many in the West, including me, do not trust that the Iranians will safeguard their weapons. I do not know if Iran would ever use a nuclear weapon and I do not believe it is in our nation's interest to risk finding out. I also do not believe the USA currently has the will to take the action necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

So we need some "common sense" iPhone regulation to prevent harm to others.

It is alway easy to give up the things other people care about and you have never possessed.

That seems like a sound assessment Cstone.

It all just sounded like blah blah blah after the first couple of leftist talking points. Watch a few more youtube videos of those morons and you'll quickly kill off all functioning brain cells.

You guys did such a great job of selling it I almost didn't watch...

But watched it on my tablet when I was otherwise occupied... I was amused that one of the other videos queued up was about erectile dysfunction- apparently that's a problem for those that regularly watch these guys, because it doesn't normally come up in other videos I watch.

I find the banning iphones analogy to be somewhat weak compared to gun control. I think a possibly better analogy would be imposing a "fairness doctrine" on college campuses, similar to what leftists have proposed for talk radio. That is, enforce equal "airtime" for left viewpoints as right. The "airtime" could be in several forms: content of offered classes, class enrollment, textbook content, etc. Now THAT would make the left have a cow. Another would be equal time in presenting pro-life arguments as pro-death arguments in required abortion counseling prior to administering an abortion. Both of these attack monopolies the left currently enjoys.

1. Use the "Fairness Doctrine" on campus as Singlestack proposes
2. Smartphone control -- no one needs to have one in the bathroom, dressing room, or other areas where other people's privacy might be violated
3. The View and other shows are offensive to Christians and traditional Americans, should have to use trigger warnings and time-outs for insulting conservatives
4. Environmental protection programs have taken on a quasi-religious "Gaea" status so should be defunded to avoid state sponsorship of a religion

Pop up ads scan your device now instead of correlating to content you are viewing. This means you're the one who has been looking it up and the ad's programming found it.

That's NOT what she said...
If you were paying attention, it was not a pop up ad... It was other "related" videos in the YouTube queue

Still technically a pop up ad. Youtube allows them to be in the viewer and on the side list of other videos. It can pick up if you look up videos or do searches for what they would consider to be related to the demographic that uses that item the most. It could really be just as simple as your history suggesting you're a late middle aged male that's middle class and still wants to nail a 22 year old. Not saying you are, just your browser history suggests you might be.

I don't normally see suggestions for erectile dysfunction videos when I watch videos on YouTube... That's why it stood out.

I am firmly middle aged, and stand up in the middle class... (Puns intended) But I have no delusions that any kind of relationship with a 22yo would be a good idea, perhaps watching those liberal yahoos' video suggested that... But I couldn't finish it (no, that was NOT another pun), they just started repeating themselves, like that was going to help it make sense.

It's due to the fact that for men who believe that nonsense and regularly watch that type of leftist drivel their manparts are in the early stages of morphing into vaginas.
