US Court Says it's Okay for Police Departments to Refuse to Hire Someone who is Too Smart If I had an open posting for a fairly mundane job, like Master Control or Production Assistant (hint: we do), I probably wouldn't hire someone with a EE, or 15 years' experience and a demo reel. Why? Because I know form experience that they'd be likely to burn out quickly due to boredom, and I'd be right back in the hiring process again in a few months. The same libertarian values which state that the Federal government shall not force me to lower my standards in order to hire people who do not otherwise meet my minimum qualifications for a job require that I also not be forced to hire those who are obviously over-qualified for it. |
I thought the title of this thread implied "current events" so bringing up a court decision from literally years ago, is current, how?

Hitler gave everyone a free radio. He was a great orator. And then he nationalized the radio. Citizens were warned if they listened to anything other than Nazi radio, they would be put to death. The only voice they had was the government radio station and the government controlled newspaper. Hitler gave Austrian equal rights for everyone. Also, everybody getting a guaranteed income from the government. The equal rights amendment was designed in two components, equality, economics and social. Economics was designed to equalize the countries wealth because everyone was entitled to equal income. To achieve that, they had to raise taxes to 70%. People got fuel stamps, heating fuel. The government equalized the countries wealth by taxing us. Called socialism. On the socialism, everyone has to be on the work force. Moms stayed home, raised their families. But in socialism, if you didn’t work, you were called a parasite. Moms had to go to work and leave the kids to where? A daycare center. The longer you left your child with the schools and daycare, the better the government liked it. These caretakers were from the government, trained in psychology, to mold the children. Education was then nationalized. We had a good education system before Hitler. |

I've repeatedly seen people post in this thread that at "total ban on all firearms" is a 100% effective way to eliminate gun violence. I wonder if the citizens of Melbourne, AU would agree.

Or maybe we should ask the folks from London:
Gun crime in London increases by 42% - BBC News Contrary to what a lot of proponents on both sides would like you to believe, neither Australia nor Great Britain are gun free. They have ban on certain types of firearms, and make both qualifying to own, and the process to continue ownership fairly burdensome... but if you don't mind waiting and filling out paperwork, the average person can own a lot of guns in both places. To put it bluntly, there are a lot of guns in both Britain and Australia. Many guns enter the illegal market and are used in crime, which should come to no surprise. What you need to be very careful of, is how the statistics are generated. For example... one year in GB, a law was changed that made possession-of-a-firearm-not-used-in-a-crime within the city limits, a felony... it was previously a misdemeanor that often was plea-bargained down to a ticket. Headline: "GUN CRIME IN LONDON TRIPLES IN 6 MONTHS!!! CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE!!!!" Two years later, after all the graphs had changed, and politicians had their pulpit material, and the jails were awash with gun-crime-prisoners ending their 2-yr possession sentences, they changed the law again that made simple "possession" a misdemeanor again. Headline: "LOCAL BLAH BLAH POLITICIAN HELPS POLICE BRING GUN CRIMES TO A MULTI-YEAR LOW!!!" It's tough, even for us modern adults who try our best not to let our political information come from Facebook memes, to unsee sensational headlines like that. |

Those comments are usually centered around the concept of "If I had a magic wand and could make every gun in the country disappear instantly, we'd have no more gun crime." That's tough to argue with.

If everyone gave up or had their guns taken away they physically would not be able to harm each other nearly as many or as quickly. But there's fear of other people, invasion, robbery, etc. Some people are unstable. Debate on how to determine who is ineligible is a tough subject.
Exactly.....because not one person has ever rented/stolen or used a truck to mow down people in seconds. Never happened. Nor has one acquired the components to make a bomb and kill many instantly. |
You're just a bunch of untrained rednecks.
I can kill more people with Shuriken throwing stars then you can with an AR and a bump stock. |
Things liberals say:
“One of the things to keep in mind is, in the base, even women are suspicious about these sexual harassment claims. And part of the reason for that is that women who are not in fancy white collar jobs often have really awful things happen to them on the job. They are assaulted. They are raped. They have horrible things happen to them. And so when they hear women say, ‘he talked dirty to me,’ or ‘he came on to me,’ they think, ‘big deal. That’s not what happened to me. ‘What happened to me is so much worse.’ And so there’s not that same sense of affinity.” |
things liberals say:
“It’s kind of consistent, though, in a way, when you think of a lot of these people who are anti-choice,” she said. “They’re very big on the fetus, but soon as the child is born, they don’t vote for additional health for the child.” “No, they won’t pay for that,” she added, at prompting from Haines, essentially making the argument that bigger government is the only moral choice and overlooking the free help that pregnancy centers offer. According to Behar, those who want to protect the unborn don’t care about children after birth. |
