You critique what you believe is a naively simplistic world view and replace it with your own desire to not have "multi trillion dollar industry around them" so you can feel better about the world in a naively simplistic way. No one ever asks, "Hey, how did it get like this for so long?" and...
When I used to work in defense people would ask me what I did and I would just tell them, "I made things that killed people as efficiently as possible and blew shit up."
They couldn't comprehend that.
If you've ever seen airplane crash victims, then the only thing they suffered was the fact that they knew they were going to die. The actual hitting the ground at speed, is just lights out. You feel nothing because the kinetic death is so fast that your nervous system can't process it that fast.
If you aren't getting the death penalty for pedophiles, there is zero way you're getting one for drug offenses. Not to mention that even if a death penalty was proper for drug offenses, you'd still have people sitting on death row for decades. The death penalty in the majority of this country is...

There are various ways either gender can get off. That's not the issue. The issue is the backlash that women are foisting on men for wanting to find alternatives to their getting off that doesn't involve them.
This is what happens when you combine the sexual perversion and permissiveness of men (in general) with general sexual hysteria women bring to bear against men. On top of the fact that you have a non-sentient, semi-autonomous device for your sexual pleasure that can't claim some time of illegal...
As an engineer, I've worked in both defense and medical. One industry finds ways to kill people and blow shit up, the other one tends towards saving lives. In the calculus of where I stand on the ethical or philosophical notions of one industry being better over the other, I'm in the camp that...
Who here would want a "Punch Zuckerdouche in his mash potato face" just once. I'd stand in line. Thankfully I don't really have too much to mine from my FB account, but still.
