Your very sentence is disingenious, you're saying:
>34 innocents dying to every 1 self-defense
But the study itself says
>34 innocents dying to every 1 self-defense DEATH
>5 cases of self defense NON-DEATH to every 1 innocent dying

Fascinating to see Fox News doing everything in its power to take out Trump. Knowing damn well he will cost the Republicans the election.

At this point the dude might even win against Hillary, all he has to do is take Rand or someone as running mate.

Hillary is a shit candidate to pick, I have no idea why the party is even considering her.

Back when I was moving out, my mother taught me how to sew. But whenever an essential button comes loose from one of my pieces of clothing, I just throw the whole damn thing away instead of sewing the button back on.

firefox seems to have only been getting better lately, chrome is still decent but it's been way more bloated lately, and also they just removed their plugin system, so java is no longer supported

Recently got my hands on a nice Shuttle X case, but the guts are 2003 low-tier stuff. Okay for a file server, but I want to use it as an HTPC. I have an SSD and DVD burner already, and I think the 240W power supply on the box already will be sufficient, so I just need a new mobo, proc, and RAM. I'm looking to spend <$200 and am looking at the following combination at the moment:
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128565
AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Memory - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231276

Good? Bad? Suggestions for alternative parts? It would be nice to use Big Picture mode of Steam on it, but not necessary. My current HTPC is basically just used to play Hulu.

Malcom X was a terrorist and a monster. Also are you trying to say that Dr King didn't accomplish anything? I get the feeling you aren't American because no racism didn't fucking go away but the civil rights movement was a fucking tremendous leap forward that basically rests on his shoulders both from his skills as an orator and at what we'd think of today as image control.

See, but even that is a sanitized version of history. America was not its own nation at the time. It couldn't declare war. The Revolutionary "War" was just a bunch of traitors rebelling against their proper authority figures. Their decisions to do this were not legitimized until they won. The Founding Fathers were guilty of High Treason, and knowingly so--enough so that Ben Franklin made jokes about it.

You're making the argument that people should submit to tyrannical authority in a country that was founded on the notion that you should not submit to tyrannical authority.

Yes it could, just like Baltimore can declare secession and war on the rest of America. If they did that, and attacked non-Baltimoran businesses in a series of organized "riots", it might be at least a valid explanation for their actions.

But that isn't the situation you moron.

Does anyone, by chance, have the very old images from the Child Abduction thread? Someone's TV got stuck on an image of Bill from King of the Hill, with the caption "CHILD ABDUCTION" over his head. And it stayed that way for hours.

Inflammatory bowel problems with no known dietary origin, or cause for that matter.
This sentence is intense understatement, as the closest way to describe it is "chronic food poisoning." Or rather, "Chronic food poisoning that eventually, your family and community decide you've relaxed and layed around enough, and now you need to live a normal person life while being sick as a dog."
The condition kind of redefines the pain measurement scale.

So is there something wrong with boards like /pco/? I mean it tells me I'm posting a duplicate file for an image in a thread that supposedly isn't on the board anymore. And when I post images to a thread they won't show up n matter how much I refresh, flush the dns, etc it doesn't show up but insists it was posted.

The site itself doesn't have a captcha; this is likely Cloudflare's protection mechanism.
