Also, UrinatingTree's reply to someone else making a joke about "real socialism":

"If at first you don't succeed, it's not real socialism. Then you try it again, but it's not real socialism. Then you try it again, but it's not real socialism. Then you try it again, but it's not real socialism...."

They say that technology is always at least one step ahead of legislation, but the time has finally come for Connecticut's laws catch up.

Thursday, October 1 marks the beautiful day in history that Connecticut has put some restrictions on the use of e-cigarettes, according to a report from WFSB. What kinds of restrictions? Well, you know, most of the same ones on regular cigarettes since they're both pretty terrible for the people who use one and anyone who is near someone using one.

That includes: No e-cigarettes near or in state buildings. No e-cigarettes near or in schools. No e-cigarettes near or in health facilities.

That's all well and good, but businesses that serve alcohol are not on the list of places to ban smoking, which is absolutely ridiculous. If we've learned anything from Walter White and Breaking Bad, it's that there should be "no more half measures."

I'll tell you, as a non-smoker, e-cigarettes in a bar are just as bad as the real thing. I'm not fully educated on all the differences between cigarettes and e-cigarettes, but they both seem pretty obnoxious and not good for you. I've been to trivia nights at bars where one minute you're enjoying a beer and testing your knowledge of world history and the next you're in a cloud of somebody's second-hand smoke.

Electronic or not, that's pretty damn gross, and the fact that we're still allowing it is a travesty. Being in a bar does not mean we're consenting to inhale addictive or dangerous vapors. Bars should do their best to ban e-cigarettes on the own and hopefully the law will develop into a full-measure eventually.

It's anti e-cig garbage, but this is worse than usual. Not only does the guy admit to not doing the research on the topic in the first place, but his biggest reason for wanting them banned is...he just doesn't like them.

After the shooting the other day he made his speech.

Biggest fail:
"How can you, with a straight face, make the argument that more guns will make us safer? We know that states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun deaths. So the notion that gun laws don't work or just will make it harder for law abiding citizens and criminals will still get their guns is not born out by the evidence."

Saw this in my Facebook feed. On the one hand, it's a relief to see less lefty bullshit, but on the other hand this righty bullshit is equally nauseating.

sarcasitron +cluon points though if they were being satirical!

It wasn't at all.

I find it hard to believe that whoever made this graphic did so with a straight face.

Because censorship is totally okay when liberals want it...

At this point it should be a given. The time of high expectations when it comes to these people has long since come and gone if it was ever there to begin with.

Yeah, this particular political compass test is pretty lousy. Some of the questions don't exactly have a bearing on your actual political views yet they take them to mean one particular thing or another, mainly questions involving things like art and what not.

six guys? now I'm confused...

There's the most well known three in Larry, Curly, and Moe but there was also Shemp (who was one of the original three), then there was Joe Besser and Joe "Curly Joe" DeRita.
