PAUL RYAN: I think this divisive rhetoric is fairly — is divisive.

Objectivist A is A nonsense or did he really JUST FIGURE SOMETHING OUT? :D

Could it be that criminal liability involves multiple components or "elements," so to speak? :faint:

No, of course not. That would be inconceivable.

Dammit, I just realized that gay-bashing and mosque-defacing don't involve bashing or defacing. I've been overlooking the fact that mens rea is primarily relevant in the assessment of actions!

Man, is my face the colour of HIV now or what?

So when there is an action (this "presenting the determination" nonsense is some shit you've made up) it's ok for the state to punish people for having the wrong thoughts?

Well that's demonstrably false. If that were true, a malicious killer who runs down someone with his car would face exactly the same punishment as the careful driver who cannot swerve to avoid a darting jaywalker. Is that the way things should be? Or should the state punish people for the content of their thoughts?

Maturin said the fucking answer upthread.

I think it might help to point out to Jerry that the OP is descriptive, not imperative. I.e., it doesn't say, "Conservatives! Say stupid shit!"

But then again, maybe it should. :chin:

As expected, Ohio lost two seats in the House of Representatives as a result of the last census. Republicans being in charge of the state legislature, thus in charge of redistricting, this abomination resulted. I looked at it and said, "Where the hell's my old district?" Then I was all like, "Oh yeah, Republicans. It's fucking gone."

One totally unintended result of the new map is that long-time Democratic reps Marcy Kaptur and Dennis Kucinich are running against each other in District 9. One will win the primary, the other will lose and be out of Congress.

The GOP smells blood, so they're trundling out the big guns. Joe Samuel the Plumber Idiot is fixing to toss his safety helmet hat into the ring. He hasn't actually said anything stupid yet (other than something like "I might run for Congress nyuk nyuk nyuk"), but when his campaign begins in earnest the idiocy will fall like rain.

That map sucks. Not nearly as colorful as the Ohio map. Maryland needs to step up its game.

Yes but quantity is not enough to compensate for quality, and the liberals have a much better grasp of being really stupid, not just a little bit occasionally like conservatives.
