  1. Sorry Gowlerk, I didn’t mean to “trigger” you
  2. OH NO! I just made a quip about People in another country. BillV, I need a ruling on this. Does that make me a racist, bigoted Scot-o-phob?
  3. That reminds me of the time I was in the airport in Frankfort Germany. There was a Japanese couple trying to talk to a German customs official in English. I understood the heavily accented English on both ends but they couldn’t understand each other, so I translated from German and Japanese accented English to American accented English and they each understood me. If it was a Scottish couple I wouldn’t have been able to help
  4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rGpykAX1fo&feature=share I killed it with a YZ-28 barrel shroud. (Two letters followed by a two digit number, oooh very scary)
  5. I didn't shoot the bear, or even offer to shoot the bear. I like bears, I haven't shot an animal in thirty years. I don't have a bird feeder and I don't keep dog food in the garage. All I am saying is that if my wife, children, neighbors or dog were threatened by an aggressive bear, I would like to have something more than a PETA bumper sticker to fend it off.
  6. FYI, it’s not called the bill of needs, it is called the Bill of Rights.
  7. Tell that to my two Democrat, professor neighbors, who called me when there was a bear in the neighborhood. I assured them there was nothing to worry about as black bears are afraid of humans. That changed as a large male confronted a couple walking their dog, and after several bird feeders were destroyed. Now every one in the community has me on speed dial
  8. Oh no! Yet another failed lawsuit! https://rclutz.wordpress.com/2020/01/17/kids-climate-lawsuit-dismissed-on-appeal/ I don't get it? Apparently there were no petrodollars involved!?! So much for the deep pockets argument
  9. Two points, 1. Climatism and atheism are no less of a religion than Islam 2. No, it is my birthday and I am in no condition to discuss the role of religion in Neolithic human development.
  10. That is why I showed restraint and only shared a fraction of my collection. I do apologize as it seemed to crash the website for the better part of today.
  11. Why does something I have diminish you? As an old Airborn Ranger, I am not afraid or intimidated by the tools of the trade. My question to you is; why are you afraid of and feel the need to control some inanimate pieces of composites and steel?
  12. Given that SOTUS gives deference to precedent and it was more than a half of century between Plessy and Brown, and given the makeup and age of SCOTUS, I feel pretty confident that I will be able to retain my arsenal for the rest of my life.
  13. No, it was all of those Neanderthals driving around in SUVs. Which, coincidentally is the same reason you think it is happing today. (laughing emoji inserted as mine doesn't seem to work)
  14. How so? I am just saying, that as we sit here today, my views are mainstream and your position is radically outside of American jurisprudence. And your notion that I thought the Constitution cannot be reinterpreted is just nonsense. Please google Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v Board of Education for an example.
  15. al·le·go·ry /ˈaləˌɡôrē/ noun noun: allegory; plural noun: allegories a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.
  16. Joe, I am a pragmatic libertarian With regard to the climate, I just laugh at you guys who think they are going to "SAVE THE PLANET" by driving a golf cart, going vegan, putting up solar panels and banning plastic straws. I don't like our taxpayer money to be wasted on species annihilating wind mills that do absolutely nothing to stop bad weather. When the tragic wildfire struck Paradise CA, folks on this forum and across the nation blamed it on climate change. They said the unusually hot and dry conditions brought on by climate change caused the fire.(after all that is just common sense and it is exactly what the scientists said would happen). Well, I did a little digging and as it turns out, there was not a drought, (in fact precipitation was just ABOVE average). Temperatures were in the mid 70's, and winds were low teens. If you think that is climate change, I would rethink just who is indoctrinated. My position on the second amendment is in alignment with the current law of the land. Again just WHO is indoctrinated? The gay thing is not worth even addressing. (other than an example of how I live, rent free, in your head) As far as Trump is concerned... let me explain it this way; You are at a gas station in NJ, there are two pumps, one is attended by a neo-nazi/clansman-homophobic misogynist and the other pump is being manned (couldn't help myself) by Rachael Maddow. At the first pump you will get your tank filled, your windows cleaned, your fluid levels checked and topped off and your tire pressure checked. At pump number two Rachael will crack your windshield, pump gas into the back seat, cut your tires and throw a match in. WHICH PUMP DO YOU CHOOSE? (remember, this is NJ and you don't have the option of pumping it yourself and you only have enough gas to pull into pump one or pump two)

  18. "Clowns to the left of me jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle"
  19. OK lets get one thing strait, I am not a homophobe (ask any of my gay friends) and I do not support Trump. And my positions have nothing to do with belief.
  20. Full marks Kallend!!! Your are finally speaking like a free market capitalist. On a side note, I am into real estate (owning not selling) and my wife, a journalism major, is now the VP of marketing and communications for a billion dollar drug research and manufacturing company and we are making WAY more than the typical "good engineer" so it might be wise not to disparage lines of work you do not understand.
