It seems inconsistent to me that the "Joe Biden is president" thread is hypothetically being replaced with something much more inflammatory.

See, that's the issue. You say he's mentally ill - can you provide a legitimate source for that? As @Lacius mentioned, the section operates on slightly different rules, and while I don't have any issue with compiling similar stories into one thread, it has proved to cause problems in the past, hence the new policy of neutral titles backed by a specific publication. Perhaps it would be better if your criticism of Biden was focused on specific stories as they're reported by the press. I provided a fact check for the statement in your clip, so it's not a difficult task - that's a reliable source.
I believe that particular thread simply reached its end of life and became the go-to thread to post unrelated news in general, and to fight. It was *originally* about the inauguration, but it ceased to be that way in short order - that's no good.
Im not a doctor but as some people has pointed out there seems to be something wrong with him from sometimes no knowing where he is to talking nonsense.
If the issue is mental issues them that no issue it will only about fails and that side here wont be mention by me
I edited the op post for a more neutral view

It's out of my hands regardless - I said my piece in the discussion and will allow the rest of the team to voice their opinion, and we'll go with what the majority decides to do. Behind the scenes GBAtemp is surprisingly democratic in nature. We tend to reach a mutually satisfying consensus.
I would like to say something important to all of you Americans. Something which is unmistakably correct in its nature.
For those of you worried about guns being taken from you, you have the right to keep arms, and to bear them in defense of the country. The country being defined as a people. This means you may not bear any arms against your fellow people. No shooting the gays.
The definition of arms is weapons and ammunition; armaments. This includes swords, mind you.
The amendment only says Arms. Congress can specify what arms you are allowed to bear. We already have regulations on cannons, missiles, nuclear weaponry, and certain military guns, which means congress has been using the power given to them to restrict specific arms to keep this country safe. Congress can take all of your weaponry away from you, leaving this country a swordsman only place. They would not be infringing your right to "keep and bear arms" because you will still be keeping some arms.
Somebody dispute this.
---------------------------------
Biden (even if he does have a mental issue) has brought up more legitimate points, bills, and views than Trump did in his presidency. I don't know if having Biden is the feeling of eating a three star meal after eating turpentine and wet garbage. It very well could be. It doesn't matter, because he's improved a ton of things in this country in the last few months. I'm fully vaccinated because of him.

Thats crazy talk.. as per the NRA Everything up to Nukes is my GOD GIVEN RIGHT.
This is not how the law works. Legal precedent is set by both the legislature and the branches that function as controls on said legislature, for instance the judiciary, in the form of the Supreme Court. DC v. Heller, McDonald v. City of Chicago and other such cases reaffirm the right of the people to bear *firearms* specifically, for the purposes including but not limited to self-defense and protection of property. Moreover, in the language of the second amendment, this right exists explicitly to enable the population to form militias, outlining that purpose as a fundamental right that is necessary for the safety and security of any free stare in the union. It was understood as and written explicitly with the intent of allowing the citizens to own *the same arms* as the military does. Citizens get to enjoy their right to bear arms and, should they choose to, can firm well-regulated militias for the purposes of protecting their home state. There's nothing to dispute there, unless you want to argue with the founders and centuries of legal precedent.
That of course doesn't mean you get to "shoot gays" - not sure where you got that from. Murder is illegal.
The second amendment was about the right of the states of have part-time conscripted armies to, hypothetically, protect against federal overreach. It wasn't about an individual's right to gun-ownership, particularly when private gun-ownership for things like self-defense were extremely impractical at the time. Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams, and Washington never used the term "bear arms" in any of their writings to ever refer to anything other than a military.
This is how it was understood all the way until the 1970s, when a more extreme faction of the NRA took power and did everything they could seed judiciaries with their people, change public opinion, and then change everything in 2008 with the aforementioned Supreme Court case DC v. Heller. This was all legal, of course, but it doesn't make it morally right or even constitutionally accurate.
Scalia's entire argument seemed to be predicated on the fact that a state's militia consisted of some "who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty," which is a pretty silly argument. The second amendment was about the right of the state to have the militia, not the right of individuals to have guns to bring to a militia. It's not even how most militias ran themselves.

i get that from the Anti Semite anti asian democrat BLM riots
I don't think anybody on this site is arguing that it's permissible, morally or legally, to "shoot gays." Of course, violence against LGBT people is still a problem in the United States, and there are specific locations and situations where LGBT people are in real danger and cannot feel safe.
There's nothing anti-Semitic or anti-Asian about BLM.

When the amendment was first proposed by Madison it encompassed the right of states to formally train militias, but that is not the compromise federalists and anti-federalists have ultimately reached. The Bill of Rights as a whole enumerates individual rights, not state rights - it applies to citizens. Nobody in their right mind would interpret the right to petition the government for redress of grievences or the right to free speech and assembly as rights that only apply to the state or organised lobbyists approved by the state.

We can see the sentiment towards 2A in Madison's private correspondence, so there can be no confusion regarding intent, or what they meant by "arms".
https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3830&context=lcp#:~:text=Just ten days afterJames Madison,and bear their private arms."
Besides, the right to bear arms has been fiercely defended in the Supreme Court long before there even was an NRA. Americans have owned arms privately since before the United States even declared independence, and that hasn't changed after it did.

Joe Strummer said it the best.
“Murder Is a crime!
Unless it was done
By a policeman or an aristocrat
Know your rights“
well thats what happens when you not popular enough on Parler. You search for unrelated gaming websites to seek attention from.
The Tenth Amendment would like a word with you, as well as the Second Amendment.
I haven't seen any writings from Madison that suggest he considered the purpose of the Second Amendment to be anything other than to provide assurances to moderate Anti-Federalists that militias would not be disarmed.
Linked below is the letter in which Madison allegedly endorses Coxe's view of the Second Amendment, and there appears to be nothing there. Halbrook is apparently mistaken.
https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Madison/01-13-02-0089
The Supreme Court had never ruled that the Second Amendment applied to individuals before 2008's District of Columbia v. Heller, as a direct consequence of the work the NRA had been doing for 30 years.

@The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
