D.C. Rejects Woman's Handgun Over Color
downwardspiral replied to JohnRich's topic in Speakers Corner
In CA the stainless steel slide does not have a loaded chamber indicator required by CA law. Likely it's the same with D.C. www.FourWheelerHB.com -
I agree. One of the expressions that makes me cringe every time I hear or read it is...I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. I would not be surprised if he used it during his presentation. I hope so but I have doubts. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Perhaps I am missing the point to this thread but I see it more as a freedom of speech issue rather than a right to bear arms issue. In the end the question is did the professor do the right thing by calling the cops on the student? I would say yes if the student displayed some psychological imbalance during his presentation. However, the word paranoia comes to mind if the cops were called based on the subject matter alone. It's hard to say exactly which case it might be based solely on the article. www.FourWheelerHB.com

lol where's the spin or double talk in his request that you qualify your question as it pertains to the subject of the thread? While I was in we were required to keep our personal firearms in the armory regardless if we lived on base or not. Also we could not purchase Playboys on base and, although, I was responsible enough to care for and crew a $30,000,000 aircraft, I was not considered responsible enough to be able to drink a beer. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I ride my motorcycle with 1 earphone in. With my helmet on it presses on it in such a way that it isn't loud but I can still hear it. But yeah if a cager does something stupid that catches me off guard I'm more pissed at myself for not seeing it earlier than I am with the cager. Because well....cagers suck! www.FourWheelerHB.com

People can grow right now and probably are. So what? The dispenseries are still able to do business. Sadly the price is the same as when it was illegal. I wonder who is controlling the prices. www.FourWheelerHB.com

You don't have to smoke it which is why pointing out the level of tar produced by smoking marijuana as a health concern is ridiculous. www.FourWheelerHB.com

http://www.temple420.org/ I just happened to watch Super High Me last night in case you were wondering how I know. I quit smoking that stuff over 4 years ago. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Nothing to say on the actual subject? www.FourWheelerHB.com

Other driving studies have suggested that marijuana users are more likely to be injured in auto accidents, yet are no more likely than other drivers to be responsible for driving fatalities. --- Note that it erroneously states that the injury risk ratios for marijuana users were 1.58 for males and 1.55 for females adjusted for alcohol and tobacco use and other factors; actually, these were adjusted only for age; the fully adjusted ratios were 1.28 and 1.37. By way of comparison, cigarette smokers have an accident risk ratio of 1.51 compared to non-smokers; teen drivers have two to five times the accident risk of older drivers; and males are twice as likely as females to have auto crashes. http://www.canorml.org/healthfacts/kaiseraccidentstudy.html What researchers did not expect to see was the effect cannabis use had on accidental injuries. When they reviewed accidents treated in the emergency room, and looked at whether the patient used cannabis or not, they found that cannabis users were only one third as likely to be injured in the same circumstances as those that had no cannabis in their system. http://www.nowpublic.com/health/cannabis-use-lowers-injury-risk-two-thirds-swiss-study-shows Swiss Study www.FourWheelerHB.com

That page is blocked at my work, so I don't know what the fuss is about. Blues, Dave Don't have a connection at home? It is just John Stewart taking the piss out of (love that expression) Obama's Iraq pull out and comparing his speech to one W made in 2007 and pointing out similarities. It is really worth watching. I'm surprised this thread isn't getting more attention. The silence is deafening. www.FourWheelerHB.com

"What I said in the letter was that, obviously, to the extent that we are lessening Iran's commitment to nuclear weapons, then that reduces the pressure for -- or the need for a missile-defense system," he said. Obama was eluding to the fact that we "wouldn't need it" which is not the same as "wouldn't build it." Medvedev saw through the bullshit and called him on it. Rookie move on Obama's part in my opinion. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Extremely well put. There is a reason the first line to the Oath of Enlistment reads.... I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; Our military will be at serious odds when the order comes down to kill our own citizens. This was demonstrated in Tianamen Square in 1989. After the square had been cleared Chinese Army troops continued to occupy the city5, with continuing reports of sporadic gunfire and interfactional fighting among PLA units. The possibility that units of the PLA would turn on each other was raised in the June 6th edition of the Secretary of State's Morning Summary as well as embassy cables from June 5-6. An embassy cable from June 5 (Document 18) reports that armored units from the PLA's 27th Army "seem poised for attack by other PLA units," and notes that a "western military attaché" largely blames the 27th for the June 3 massacre, and says that the 27th "is accused of killing even the soldiers of other units when they got in the way." The June 6 edition of the Secretary of State's Morning Summary (Document 19) states that the 27th Army is "being blamed for the worst atrocities against civilians during Saturday night's attack on Tiananmen Square," and also notes that "some clashes between military units reportedly have occurred." Document 20, an embassy cable from June 6, refers to "persistent rumours of splits among the military and fighting among military units." http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB16/documents/index.html#12-29 www.FourWheelerHB.com

Ralph Peters: ignore COIN theory and pull out of Afghanistan
downwardspiral replied to nerdgirl's topic in Speakers Corner
Unfortunately, the situation in Afghanistan is far more complicated for shiny metal death to be even remotely close to a viable solution, as Marg has been saying for at least 6 months. Thanks to her guidance and my interest in trying to understand what the hell she's talking about , I was able to find a article which illustrates many of the cultural issues we're dealing with in the aformentioned country. "The young people don't come. They are all Al Qaeda; they're up in the mountains," says Lieutenant Mohammed. "All young people have no jobs, so they join the Taliban ... to get clothes and hashish." http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0907/p01s08-wosc.html?page=2 www.FourWheelerHB.com
