Re: Justice

If you're careful (like me) to make sure that nobody who knows you wants to kill you, then the main way someone like me will get murdered is by a stranger. So despite Ken claiming it's "exceedingly rare", it's the biggest risk I face.

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

As a general rule, if you don't have left-wing politics, you'd better fear for your life if you are in a blue city (like Austin) and you find yourself stuck in a violent protest. Democratic and left-wing prosecutors have made it very clear they won't prosecute crimes like fleeing the police, carjack...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

A recent topic on MN was whether or not negligent parents should be punished. One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If ne...
