    Good lord, man, is there no flaw on Earth that you won't try to pin on the evil "white male"? Let's just analyze this latest view in a global context. Here's a map depicting the strictness of the world's abortion laws by country:

    As you'll quickly notice, the countries with the most "white males" generally have the world's most permissive abortion laws. The countries with the strictest anti-abortion laws tend to be those distinctly lacking white males. So pardon me for failing to see how the evidence jibes with your theory of abortion laws supposedly being a white male domination device.

    Abortion is a terribly complicated issue. It's a religion issue. A personal freedom issue. An ethical issue. An issue rooted in people having a fundamental disagreement on when human life begins. But it is NOT a racial issue. Stop trying to make everything a racial issue. Honestly, I don't know WTF happened to you, Rick, I used to think you were a smart guy, but it's like you've since devolved into some sort of weird automaton programmed to give the same answers to every question minus any independent thought.

    Nothing. If you put a crimp in the supply, the price will simply go up, attracting even more entrepreneurial people to enter the business with ways to circumvent the defenses. I do wonder if outlawing cigarettes would help. I do believe they're a gateway drug. Vaping, smoking. Make it illegal. And I say that as someone who still smokes socially.

    I think if you make cigarettes illegal, people are going to do harder drugs and more of them. If they're going to break the law to get their small fix, they may as well go bigger. It's stupid logic, but these are people who pay seven dollars per pack to smoke something that gives them cancer, so...

    Yeah, if/when it comes it will be very ugly. It may take down some banks. But at least there will be plenty of repos available on the secondary market.

    The biggest gateway drug is booze.

    I "like" the fact that he improved the lives of millions of citizens and turned his country from a "humanitarian catastrophe" into a functioning (albeit highly dysfunctional) player on the world stage.

    I "respect" the fact that he understands you cannot be an "ally" of the United States. You are an ass kisser or an "enemy." He chooses the latter of those two evils, because his predecessor chose the former and created untold misery.
