If this was contained to Milo, I could understand it. But the same stuff happens to Ben Shapiro. Literally, the exact same people doing the exact same thing.

Can anyone defend the protests at his speeches other than to silence free speech and alternative viewpoints?

Edit: I would pay to watch Shapiro dismantle these University presidents in a debate for the right to give his speech. Would love it.

 

[Bluto]

So no you won't explain why you dislike him, got it. If Milo was a liberal celebrity and a conservative said that they didn't think he was interested in living in a civilized society, that he should be punched in the face, and couldn't name a single specific reason they disliked him, they would be branded as a homophobe.

Read the article below. There's plenty to dislike about the guy. He's a petty, narcissistic prick. It's amazing that so called "conservatives" are continually falling all over themselves to defend the guy.

No one has defended him about anything because you still have yet to make one single claim against him. You were to lazy to even read the link from your post to try and at least steal someones opinion that consists of something other than name calling.

Well if you can understand why Central Americans like a couple of guys who executed political dissidents, you shouldn't have a hard time understanding why someone would like a wacky provacatuer like Milo.

People just like the darkest things!

South Dakota GOP repeals voter-approved anti-corruption law - CNNPolitics.com

Who cares about the will of the people. LOL.


Also who needs clean water.

Darrell Issa: Coal mining needs to be safer, but Obama reg is a 'dirty trick' - CNNPolitics.com

"The President (Obama) did this as a midnight rule," Issa said. "It was a dirty trick at the end of the administration."
Issa did say the coal mining industry needed to cause less harm to the environment.
"I will continue to support the fact that coal mining has to be safer for the miners and cleaner for the environment," Issa said.
But Issa said he could not support a rule "deliberately done at the end of the administration."
Issa also said the effect of the weeks-old rule was "catastrophic" to the coal industry, and said Obama left them a "landmine" the new Congress was clearing.

So basically, Coal companies are dumping waste in streams and it costs them too much money to properly dispose of waste (really just costs them any money). Who cares about the environment or clean water.

I'm not big on trusting the Feds to not fuck up...

Nice Strawman. Prop 8 was found unconstitutional by the courts. For some reason Republicans representatives on the state and national level don't like having to be ethical.

But you trust companies who have created tons of natural disasters? The government isn't perfect (and could definitely be improved) but this distrust of government but faith in corporations to do what is "right" is funny.

Businesses have incentive to do the right thing. It's called the profit motive. Disband the regulatory state and let class action lawsuits clean out the bank accounts of corporations who abuse natural resources. That's a much more effective way to solve the tragedy of the commons because with regulations, the biggest corporations are able to carve out loopholes that protect them from legal action.

The industrial revolution is on line one. After they get done coughing up aspestos by chugging down a glass of lead water, they would like to have a conversation.

Bullshit. The problem with your idea is that the damage is already done. That is great they poison the water, people suffer (get cancer and other conditions) and the company many years later goes bankrupt (if you can prove they are at fault). Then some other company buys their assets and the beat rolls on. The idea that removing regulations will fix it is a nice theory but fails in practice. Companies are to motivated by current profit and not future profit (not necessarily the companies fault).

As I've said before, I'm a libertarian, not am anarchist. I do recognize the need for some regulation but in general I believe our society is far more overregulated than under. That said, I think science and technology have come far enough where you don't have to wait until someone gets cancer in 20 years to figure out if a company's actions have negative externalities. Think about it this way... if there's enough evidence for a government agency to regulate it, then there's enough evidence for a class-action lawsuit to provide for an injunction and seek damages. That way, you intervene in the cases that ACTUALLY cause harm while freeing the "innocent" companies from the cost and burden of regulatory compliance.

tl;dr - You don't sue "many years later," you sue today.

Ted Cruz to debate Bernie Sanders live on CNN, Tuesday at 9:00. That's an intellectual mismatch if I've ever heard one.

That's a joke, right? People can agree or disagree with either one of them, but you cannot deny that Ted Cruz is intellectually brilliant while Bernie Sanders' rhetoric relies on emotion.

Clinton-Trump was a similar mismatch. Obama-Romney was roughly even on an intellectual basis but Obama also had the emotion going for him.

I agree with you on Cruz/Bernie. If they get into the financials of ACA, Bernie is gonna be in trouble.

Re: peeling back regs on banks. It's a bad idea, and shit... I'm a banker. He reality is that bad things happen when you leave my industry to its own devices. It's just a fact. It's been that way since Medici and will be that way when we colonize Mars. I'm not saying it has to be heavily regulated, but don't knock the pendulum in the opposite direction. Despite Trump's comments, Dodd Frank was not a "disaster" (why is everything always GREAT or a DISASTER with this guy?), but it could be tweeked. But removing fiduciary duty from financial advisors? Thats asinine.

Goliath Regional Bank (subsidiary of Goliath Global Bank) is pretty optimistic about the Don regulating. We shall see what happens!

What is "brass"?

I work for one of the biggest banks in the world and I can tell you that real "brass" in the industry think he's a complete wildcard. Which isn't good for business.
