Serious Question: Do you think every American citizen has a right to vote?

Yes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have to prove you are that citizen who you say you are. I also happen to think every American citizen has the right to enter the United States again when they left it, but you still need a passport to say you are that person.

Due to years of mistrust with voter suppression, just having strict ID requirements means lower voter turn out.

Well, that's their choice. You can lead a horse to water...

Let's add in the fact that these are administered by the state, and usually marginally trained volunteers and you will have a problem.

It's 2019, we have tech that allows people to scan or swipe an ID.

You are a terrible human being. For the record that's 11% of the population that doesn't have ID.

And from what I've heard or see on here, you're a sanctimonious fatshit lawyer who likes to throw insults on the internet and then goes and cries/hides in their house when someone calls them out about it.

That's 11% of the population who would get an ID if it was provided to them.

That's not how government assistance works. Furthermore every single ID requirement bill isn't coming with funding for people to get those ID's, specifically because those who are proposing it don't want those voters to turn out.

I'm not talking about previous bills, I'm coming up with my own suggestions, thinking out loud, to what I think would be a good solution...for fun. Unless any Washington politicians lurk this forum

the chances that weren't there to begin with? Please prove this point with actual statistics. What fraud do you think this actually prevents that isn't already prevented by the existing requirements.

Voter fraud is low in the US, but its not 0. There are plenty of other more pressing issues, but it's still an issue.

how? you still haven't provided for them to get it through any government funding. No voter ID bill is proposing to pay for the poor to get voter ID. Also you are still a horrible human being.

 

As I said, I'm proposing this bill.

 

Still? Damn, I was really trying to prove to you what I wonderful person I am.

 

I'm proposing a new bill. As you would know, 33% of the US is obese. That's 3 times the amount of people who don't have IDs. My bill will introduce a one time tax on all fat fucks, where they have to pay 100% tax on any regular Tuesday night's dinner. After it pays for everyone's IDs, there should be enough cash left over to fill all the potholes too.

 

Fucking fatty.

 

You can be pretty sure, but you would be wrong. All you need to do is to prove your identity which is not the same as a specific ID card. There are no less than 21 different documents you can produce to prove your identity for a job, many of them as simple as a voter registration card, a homeland security authorization to work, Native American Tribal documents, social security card, etc...none of these things are considered a "traditional ID"

 

No, I said you are required to have ID to get a job. The other bullshit you tacked on there.

"invisible"???

 

 

:gabe:

It is in South Africa...only shows up under a black light.

Again, prove that it does more good than harm.

The only negative to requiring an ID is that it costs money, and not everyone can afford an ID. Well, if you're that piss poor and worthless that you can get by without an ID, chances are you're already on some kind of government assistance program, and an ID might as well be provided for you by the tax payers anyway.

So now we've prevented/lessened the chances of voter fraud and Johnny Poorpants and Suzy Lazybutt now has an ID. Pretty sure it is law that if you don't have an ID, you cannot get a job, so perhaps there is their motivation to get one now.

The entire voter ID opposition is stupid as fuck. OMG do we even need to play that game anymore? STFU to anyone who thinks that it's some type of hindering of a person's rights to see that they get up and get an ID. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

Seriously.

I'd take it a step further and spray your hands with that invisible photosensitive ink that other countries use.

Good. I'm started to think my morning commute is from Islamabad to Kabul.

WTT: S6 for camel

You do understand that the 2nd amendment doesn't prevent lawmakers from making similar legislation here in the states, right? We have similar restrictions for automatic firearms in the US already and wen through something similar in 1986 with the Firearm Owners Protection Act, it wouldn't be hard to extend those restrictions to semi-automatic weapons as well.

 

We don't see legislation like that because it would be unpopular, even among moderates who generally support gun control, and therefore no politician would stake their career on a loser of a bill that would tank their re-election. But don't think for a second the 2nd amendment is the thing keeping this at bay, it's just not how it works.

Specifically to automatic weapons ban or "assault" rifle ban? Of course not, that happened here and look at all of the difference that made.

But to quote someone at the NRA (unfortunately) "While they do not have an inalienable right to bear arms and to self defense, we do."

The 2nd amendment will protect us from stupid knee-jerk reactions like this.

I'm also not sure how popular it is in NZ either from what I've seen from some kiwis, the attacker wasn't even one of them.

Poor New Zealand. Another reason to be thankful we have the 2nd amendment here.

The gun reform proposal will be introduced to Parliament in the first week of April. For it to come into effect, lawmakers need to vote on amending the existing legislation, the Arms Act 1983.

In the interim, New Zealand Governor General Patsy Reddy has signed an order to reclassify some semi-automatic weapons as "military-style".

As a result, many people who legally owned certain firearms will no longer be able to possess them on their existing license conditions.

What's the difference between a corvette and your mom?

The corvette has had monocock.

I'll see myself out...

Are Historical tags for 20+ years old, or 25?

25.

6 more years before my S4 can get historical plates

I'll just stay out of this thread.

It does stink in here. Every now and again someone needs to open a window.

Kickass - pics of S6?.

I don't really have any good pictures of it. It's completely stock...until the RS7 turbos go in.

Here's a crummy sideways one

2019: Busy putting bigger turbos on my Audi S6

That's a fair point. First they dominate local high school sports, but the next thing you know they're destabilizing global alliances, destroying jobs with ineffective trade wars, and blowing up the national debt that their kids probably won't even have to pay back because they're unlikely to have any kids. It's a good thing the conservative media is kicking the transgender community back into the margins of society where they belong, before they can really start wreaking havoc. Speaking truth to power is an important role for the media, and there's no one more powerful than transgender high school athletes.

Remember, when you pull someone else up, who didn't deserve it or worked for it, you're kicking those who did down.

"Sarah could've won gold at the olympics for team USA, but she got so fed up of getting beaten by chicks with dicks that she gave it all up." But then from the same camp we'll hear the cries of "women aren't being paid or represented enough".

That's how you end up with derpy athletes, derpy farmers, derpy doctors and derpy engineers.

They should probably stop reporting it the way they are reporting it. HS sports is about as far as these individuals can compete since all other pro and collegiate sports do hormone testing and bar athletes from competing if their hormone levels are over the threshold - regardless of biological gender (meaning a biological female can and has been excluded from pro sports and the Olympics because of high hormone levels).

That's right, which is where it starts to annoy me. It's interfering and demotivating female athletes who can actually have a future in athletics, or any sport.

How to address these athletes is an interesting and complex question with no simple solution. Fear mongering to whip some old white Midwestern dudes into a frothy foam that some guys with tits are beating up on their little girls in track isn't helping anything in this discussion. Neither has perpetuating the myth of anti-transgenderism in feminism, but if the conservative media didn't stop at falsely spreading propaganda that every Muslim is a radical terrorist, it certainly isn't going to reign in the lies and fear mongering for women.

 

BTW, it's not gone unnoticed that the transgender people being reported on are also people of color, I'm fairly certain this isn't the only example of transgender students competing in high school sports but this is the one they chose to focus on.

Oh boy...Now the people who don't like it when boys get to beat up on girls in sports are racists. Classic.

But yeah, the solution is quite simple. Boys compete with boys, girls compete with girls. Perhaps someone will one-day start a transgender olympics like they did for the special olympics, until then...

Yeah, conservative media should just stop reporting altogether. That way we won't be bothered with anything but how brave these two confused young boys are.
