  1. Okay, we don’t strip search the kids. But the rest let’s do: match ridiculous with more ridiculous.
  2. I am to where I think we should lock down schools, surround them with high cinder block fences topped with razor wire, put armed guards and metal detectors at every entrance, and strip search every kid on arrival. Let’s make obvious what a damn farce the gun laws and culture are in America. Same at every grocery store, concert, and ball game, and especially so at car tracks. Maybe inconveniencing everyone with disrupted personal freedoms and huge tax bills at the sacrifice or more freedom and valuable services will get the point across.
  3. That’s a National level decision, as school funding should be but is not.
  4. As long as we’re fantasizing, who in rural red state America, where we have a problem with gays, genders, books, liberals and Bud Light but not guns, is going to vote more taxes on themselves to pay for a problem that can be addressed with free hopes and prayers?
  5. Joe, calling Putin Putler isn't good.
  6. It would be nice if a separate fantasy from Russia thread was created for certain posts. Soon the spring offensive will start and what happens will be very interesting. Now the feints are on going for example. The West, I believe, isn't going to let Ukraine attack without the goods. I'm thinking they're not just trained on combined arms with air defense. I think they have aircraft to employ. I think they'll go after a hard target like Tokmak. It would be nice to not have the conversation screwed up by certain agents.
  7. I've posted this before but it's first hand factual so bears repeating. I'm the only person I know who has actually used a gun to capture an asshole in his domicile. The dude came in through a window and I had time to take a 300 Savage off the wall and put one in the chamber before moving to the room he was in and ending the event without firing. The idea that you need a loaded pistol, or any loaded gun for that matter, at the ready is stupidity. If that's your time frame you're already fucked.
  8. But if you aren't trained to ignore that sort of thing your self validating narrative starts unraveling.
  9. 1. It's lame to post a link and then run. Try to be better. 2. Most narcotized second amendment AR-15 strokers aren't immediately affected by mass shootings and thus see no reason for change. Of course if your beach home is flooded or suddenly uninsurable or your kids are at school on a day when an AR-15 toting maniac shows up for his moment in the sun even a wrong rightie might be open to conversion. The saying is that all politics are local. The reason, of course, is that so are most narrow, short sighted, opinions.
  10. Like a Tarantino movie. Now I won’t sleep.
  11. If you would read between the lines you'd understand that the point was that stating that increasing immediate costs to individuals, be they Democrats, Independents, Aardvarks, or Mifflin County Gun Toters was likely to directly affect opinions and polls was a silly point. We know that. That's why long term planning that accounts for that inevitability is crucial. Think of it like this: you wouldn't go snipe hunting without your stick and bag, right? Same thing, sort of.
  12. You're a bloody genius, you are. Who possibly could have arrived at that conclusion with as little as 250,000 years of human reactions to use as data? Whether or not AGW is real or not isn't decided by how may Bubba's want to roll coal instead of electrons. Seriously, more seriously than the last times I told you, you need to get a job. You need to get out and travel.
  13. How. Give your method and plan.
  14. Wanting to give you the benefit if the doubt, to see if this made any actual sense I translated it into Klingon: 'ach qaSpa' QorghwI'pu', 'e' lutu'lu' HIvje''a' qatlh puqbe'wI'? Nope. Still nonsense. So, given that you must know what Biden should have done to keep Hunter from muling dope in from Mexico, if that's what you believe, what should he have long since done to stop it? Please, if all you have is "shut the southern border" just don't answer.
  15. The EGO Leaf blowers are pretty good, the Stihl just sits now. The weed whackers are too good to be true.
  16. I really think it's too much to broad brush an entire people as anything. I think that's especially true when calling any group cowards. For example, I am certain my old man would have thought most blacks were cowards until he watched the Red Tails form off his bomber and go through the flack instead of skedaddling like all of the white fighter pilots did.
  17. Thanks for the update on your feelings.
  18. Accepting that I might not make it past the first round but maybe, along with the new "Light Ban" changes, we could also have as a third leg to the stool a peoples vote. We have a nice "like" button but how about a nice "outa here button"? Just a suggestion, as you know the last thing I want to do is cause any problems.
  19. It's just a record skipping, someone will reset the needle.
  20. Interesting background you must have, completely knowing the minds of those in the Russian Nuclear force and have such an understanding of the of command and control functions of the launch systems in place. Also interesting is your firm statement that Russians are "cowards at their core". Perhaps in between international speaking engagements you could enlighten those of us with enquiring minds but without your incredible insight and connections.
  21. Although her being a cheerleader is a positive, no one here who is serious cares if she was white. But did you really have to say "sweaty"? Kids read this, you know.
