The media seems concerned only with Josh Duggar.

Speed cameras are just for revenue generation. They're used to rake in millions of dollars under the pretext of public safety. A more pertinent question is whether or not there should be any government roads, and there shouldn't be. If roads were profit-seeking ventures (like a private business), and people had to pay out of their own pocket to use them, then there would be far less traffic, far less bad drivers, and the roads would be far safer.

Many businesses with public WiFi use content-filtering systems which are maintained by a third-party. Some governments use them too (which they, themselves, maintain). Often times, libertarian websites and alternate news sites get blocked.

There are many mentally unbalanced people who can still behave in a civilized manner. In a free society, there would be far better options for vetting to keep malicious types, thugs, and hoodlums separated from civil society. As far as people who have no control over themselves, they'd have to be restrained and looked after by people who want to take on that responsibility. Otherwise, they'd be left to roam in the wild.

Are you talking about people who have an inclination for uncivilized behavior or people who do not have control of their mental faculties and cannot control themselves?

The best and most effective way to help the poor is to offer them a job. Unfortunately, the State has not only made that process onerous, but highly risky.

I meant to write 'yourselves' as I was addressing the first two posters. They both said that their wives were steadfast in their beliefs and unwilling to examine them critically.

‘Clean Energy Jobs Act’ Did Little but Enrich Consultants So, they need an oversight hearing to examine the accountability board which oversees the commission which manages the program. As if any of these people have the slightest idea what they're doing.

Americans gave more than $350B to charity in 2014 Americans gave more than $100B to churches in 2014 Is that enough?

What does it mean to be poor? Most poor in the U.S. have cars, air-conditioning, TVs, refrigerators, and mobile phones. Also, how does one differentiate between deserving and undeserving poor?

If you decide to have kids, you may find yourself in a difficult and frustrating situation if your wives decide to impose their superstitious beliefs upon them. People form emotional bonds with superstitous dogma at a young age in much the same way as they form bonds with toys and cartoon characters. Children don't have a sufficiently developed intellectual faculty to analyze things critically, logically, and skeptically. There is a power asymmetry bewtween children and their parents. Their parents are their guardians and represent authority figures, and they tend to believe whatever their parents tell them. Afterall, their parents wouldn't lie to them. When some people grow up, they cling to the superstitious dogma which they were inculcated with as children because it provides comfort, a sense of meaning and purpose in life, a refuge in which to hide from reality, and a means to connect with others superficially. The more insecure, credulous, and feeble-minded people are, the less likely they'll be to examine those beliefs critically and skeptically. Deep down, people intuitively know that superstiton is bullshit because they yield to science and rationality when it suits them (in economics it's called demonstrated preference). So, in order to give their superstitious beliefs a sense of normalcy, they impose those beliefs upon their own children to provide validation, thus mitigating their own anxiety.

The purpose of negative interest rates is to encourage people to take their money out of the bank and spend it, rather than leaving it idle in the bank. They incorrectly believe that spending drives economic growth.

Socialists aren't known for an abundance of brains so it makes sense that they'd be so easily manipulated. Those dumb socialists have to queue up in lines all night to buy groceries. If only they weren't so dumb then they'd have plenty to eat and plenty of toilet paper like we have under state-capitalism.

Hold it! San Francisco uses paint to fight public urination San Francisco’s summer of urine and drug-addicted homeless Thank goodness they banned public urination in 2002. All you have to do is ban something and then the problem disappears.

Food banks struggle to meet surprising demand Despite the growing economy? This shows how stupid and clueless the mainstream media is. Hey, the unemployment rate is 5.3%. This I know cuz the TV said so.
