Dumbass Infowars interviewer gets rekt by giggly socialist cutie

I avoid WalMart as well. Can't remember the last time I was in one or a Target since I got my Amazon Prime membership.

When Amazon starts making deliveries using unmanned drones I'm gonna exercise my 2nd Amendment rights and blast those fuckers out of the sky.

That's where I draw the line.

I didn't realize the second amendment allowed you to indiscriminately blast stuff out of the sky. Maybe I should get a gun after all.

I didn't take exception, I just corrected his obvious errors - big difference.

I avoid WalMart as well. Can't remember the last time I was in one or a Target since I got my Amazon Prime membership. But for folks like MC to say it's a net drain on a local economy because of a mother jones article that cites some economist who says it's so doesn't make it so. Small businesses may shut down but the towns don't become blighted shitholes with street after street of abandoned store fronts and houses, crack pipes and syringes littered everywhere. It's unfortunate for those business owners but consumers don't owe them a living - if they want to pay less for lower quality clothing or whatever and save money to spend elsewhere, tough shit mom and pop - oh and by the way, even if central planners like mc could have slowed or stopped WalMart, Amazon was gonna each your lunch anyway.

I remember as a kid, my mom taking the six of us to Harper Sports for gym shoes, another store for casual/dress shoes, the mall for school clothes and going to Sears or True Value or a local hardware store with my dad for hardware, lawn tools and supplies and the plumbing store if we had to fix a leaky faucet. But I don't miss any of that. I'm perfectly happy getting what I need from Costco, Home Depot, Amazon and an annual trip to the Michigan City outlets (Adidas, Brooks Brothers, maybe J crew - and I love that kitchen supply store) when we visit my sister's family at their summer house. Occasionally I'll have to go to a specialty store for something like a replacement valve or head for my way overpriced kitchen faucet that has to be replaced every 1.5 years and is not available at Home Depot. I honestly don't feel too bad for any of the kids I grew up with who couldn't take over dad's business because big box retailers and the internet took their business. It's called competition and you lost, get over it, get a job or start another business and deal with it.

It's nice u shared ur happy childhood memories here.

It wouldn't be indiscriminate.

Just unmanned Amazon delivery drones.

those aren't the happy memories, but I did have a happy childhood. Still, they're definitely better than the whining and complaining and the stories you share on a daily basis of what a disappointing, miserable existence you lead as an adult.

well, I guess the 2nd amendment doesn't explicitly exclude the indiscriminate shooting down of unmanned drones, so have at it.

Again, shooting down only Amazon unmanned drones would be the opposite of indiscriminate shooting down of.

If I decided "I'm going to stand in the street, and shoot down whatever I see up in the sky for the next 10 minutes" - so I shoot down a couple birds, a few unmanned drones, maybe some were Amazon, maybe some were somebody else's; maybe a baseball that had been batted up into the air from the park across the street; maybe some kid's toy airplane or helicopter; maybe some alien spacecraft like from Independence Day - that would be indiscriminate.

Limiting the shooting down of to very specific and exclusive flying objects is the very definition of discriminating shooting down of.

I disagree, shooting down all Amazon drones rather than some or specific Amazon drones, would be an indiscriminate campaign against Amazon drones. For example, let's say your neighbor subscribes to amazon pet food delivery for their dog food and you like your neighbor's dog so you're like, "ok, I won't shoot that one down." It's not a great example since people tend to buy dog food 50lbs at a time, but you get the point. You can have an indiscriminate campaign with in a discriminatory campaign.

plus, the real point of my original post is if the founding fathers were going to allow or exclude the shooting down of unmanned drones as part of your second amendment rights, I don't think they would have put selective qualifiers on the types of anti-drone hunting you could do - they'd probably leave that up to the individual.

Wouldn't not shooting the drone that delivers the food of my neighbor's dog - I do like dogs -be an example of being discriminating?

it would be, that was a bad cut and paste job. that is an example of an discriminatory campaign against Amazon drones while shooting down all amazon drones, including those delivering your neighbors dog food would be an indiscriminate campaign against Amazon drones.

but again, I chose to use the term indiscriminate because I don't think the founders would have put restrictions on certain targets and not others. They'd likely give you the freedom to choose which drones to target.

right - it's impressive enough that they could anticipate unmanned drones 200+ years in advance, that they would also mention specific retailers that didn't exist is expecting too much - in my opinion, anyway.
