  1. Why not ask for just one proud South Carolinian to put one in the back of his head? Hey, I know! We could tie him to the front of a Demolition Derby car like the Greeks used to do Romans on their Galley's.
  2. They aren't working? Really? Damn, that's odd, you'd think that a few words on a sheet of paper could overwhelm an onslaught of guns, ammo, and jackasses. Maybe we should try something else or just give up and wear targets. What's your constructive suggestion?
  3. Unless they changed, or do change, the protocol it will be three volunteers and all will shoot live rounds. Bill, in all things get your head into the why of it. Figuring out why did someone played a certain card, for example, might give you the game. If naught else you'll better understand how they play. Here, why, when civilian firing squads customarily used one blank round did the game change? Could they only find room for three shooters and it's an act of humanity worth not providing the possibility of doubt for a regretful participant? Or did the jerks who designed it just naturally assume that anyone with a pair would want to know the put a hole in the bastard?
  4. F-Squad like F-Troop? Say it out loud: Firing Squad. And each of the three volunteers, how'll they'll select the lucky winners from the horde sure to offer their services is anyones guess, will be firing a live round. They'll get to know they shot the bastard. The why of that little change is the real issue.
  5. What people think isn't particularly interesting, why they think as they do is the important thing. Too bad that's such a hard thing to explain.
  6. I am certain of that. At the end of February in the Covid thread I said "You have fully nailed the reality of Billeisele. He believes what he believes because it where he is at socially." It was simply an observation. Of course, that was as well received as a turd in the punch bowl but I have no doubt it is true. Not just for conservatives, although at least here they seem bound by the shackles more so, but for all of us. Every go at it we all like to point out the obvious bias in our correspondents news sources to make our points. But I think the bigger problem is the filter of our own biases supported by constant reaffirmations in our social circles. Again, and I concede the bias, I think the liberals here are a bit more free of those constraints. Surely there will be divergent views.
  7. What facts about Obama's level of "involvement" being similar to Trumps? Please get specific.
  8. Bill, how can you say that? I'm sorry, but if you aren't including anything other than waking up and putting ones pants on in the morning you are gravely mistaken. Trumps level of interference with our national, state and local politics goes beyond any previous measures. That is plainly obvious.
  9. Not. Unless, obviously, one is the final authority and has complete control of the askers intentions one is always wise, factual in fact, to assume one has incomplete information. Sort of it's like being pulled over by some true believer cop and thinking that by being completely honest, as you understand honesty, you'll be fine. Your lawyer would likely have a different opinion.
  10. Bill, please consider my post above, (2290), Trump is not playing by the usual rules.
  11. To Bills point, you'd be suing over the definition, naught else. Mr. Metalslug, while it may be true that Black and White are words it is not absolutely true that the definition of Black or White are finally known. White and Black, as colors, are being constantly refined. Same with a meter. You'd think a meter was a meter but conditions, new information, and perspective matter. Of course, it's your'e prerogative to look backwards to any originalist meaning you hold dear and argue from that position. Back doing so does not make you right.
  12. We have a terminal case on our hands, you've got that right. Yes, Trump is no longer President but have you noticed that he does no longer President somewhat differently than previous no longer Presidents? That's no trivial point. Surely you can see that his actions and, in no small degree, the actions of those in power who yet fear him are both damaging and weakening our current President. For a bonus, are you able to see that your bored efforts at self entertainment contribute to that?
  13. Absolutely. Isn't it remarkable how the anti-Biden/Kamala's a bonehead crowd here doesn't seem to be much bothered by Blackburn, Hawley, Graham etc. etc.?
  14. Nonsense. She was simply smart enough not to get sucked in by morons.
  15. In your glee you probably didn't notice that your hero has long hair and bangs. But maybe it just makes him feel a little better. Nothing wrong with that, seems to me.
  16. Just like they teach at MIT. Alrighty, then.
  17. You are too cheap to buy a whistle? They make electric whistles: https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Whistle-Electric-Blowless-Emergency/dp/B08LPNTN8S/ref=asc_df_B08LPNTN8S/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475789739974&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7342635107300148497&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032857&hvtargid=pla-1041495905470&psc=1 You can sort out wiring it to your lighter, yes?
  18. Those damn horseless carriages were a danger to all, too, for a while.
  19. Good for the mood. But I have to say that, based on what seems to be real as the Russians are moving back in the north, I hope Biden is asking General Milley and whomever runs USSOCOM just what we can do to make life miserable for the Russians without getting caught.
  20. Brother, you need an intervention. Now, back in the real world Ketanji Brown Jackson is now Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson by a vote of 53 to 47. Now, I'll let you rant about Kavanaugh some more but when you're done please tell me why I shouldn't consider each and everyone of those 47 no voting Republican US Senators to be racist, sexist assholes.
  21. Weren't you told umpteen times to stop just posting urls? Seriously man, you need something else to do besides us.
  22. Absolutely. And seeing as how it's all passed to the consumer anyway maybe we should just cut out the middleman and fine the users directly. It worked with hookers, right? Maybe if we start seeing pictures of offenders on the nightly news power usage will decline and the numbers of eagles would increase.
