  1. Obviously they had it coming. Good thing someone brought their guns.
  2. My favorite are Chimera's. No one has yet to explain where the extra soul goes.
  3. One shot is fine for gophers and woodpeckers but not desirable when you kick two roosters out of a fence row. On that basis alone I'd say it's a non starter. The thing is, if we are going to get anywhere under the current legal interpretations we need to ask for a helluva lot less than a complete ban, which I oppose, on anything. I don't know if I agree 100% with Keith, for example I'd be for regulating ammo in a serious way, but I totally agree with the idea of increasing the amount of paperwork and expenses for certain firearms. I also completely agree with the idea of limiting expectations.
  4. The solution isn't definitional. The solution is political and politically this country, will for the foreseeable future, have a right to keep and bear arms not limited to a single shot. The reality is that even a general agreement amongst the majority of Americans on reasonable restrictions and regulations would be an uphill fight. The only path forward that has a hope in hell of working is trying for something like Keith proposes. If that happens then we let time do it's job.
  5. Alright, your free jump has been reinstated.
  6. Fellow Lefties, this is reality. And truly, it would be a damn fine result.
  7. It often seems that for many of my fellow Americans, because of their religious beliefs, school must have been about memorizing fictional characters and stories. Sort of it's like the second week of algebra when you're sitting there thinking that all you need to do is get your grade and you'll never again need to factor in anything hard to understand.
  8. "Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment," he wrote. This is just hilarious but also may explain a lot. It must be that these folks believe you start defending your home from somewhere down the street and then gradually retreat to your bedroom where you grab your shotgun.
  9. Which nonexistent wrinkle are you shooting at this time? Are we now supposed to be up in arms over republican inspired underfunded child care and mental health systems. Are these the failures that allowed two disturbed kids the opportunity to break into a house and find several guns, including an AK-47 and bags of ammunition, just laying around for fun? Mind you, this weapons arsenal, is where two young girls live with their father. Try this: You've just been appointed King of America. You have one year to reduce by 1/2 the numbers of deaths indisputably linked to both mental health problems and gun proliferation but you can only work on one of the two. And it's super serious for South Carolina because if you fail they are going to cancel both Hannity and Judge Judy. Which do you choose?

    I wad my napkin or just forget about it and let it hit the floor. As far as the anthem goes, for me, it's sort of like when Ken suggested we all flag ourselves here. Why not, now that Trump is gone, right? The thing for me is we should be proud to be American not because of a song or flag but because of who we are as a people. For that I don't mind standing.

    I'm not ex-military or jingoistic and I've never minded standing for our anthem or anyone else's at a game. It's like a reminder that no matter how the ball or puck bounces don't forget it's just a game between friends.
  12. Please let's stop the giddy. He's not away, he is still here. Hopes and dreams are not actual charges.
  13. Got me. Apparently I don't get along well with kids. The day I unblocked him he accused me of carrying an old grudge. So I fixed it, again.
  14. I knew Art, that sucked. Moving on, it's intellects like cocoa puffs that cause me to think we really are doomed. The enlightenment didn't happen, not because it was a bad idea, but because there aren't enough people with the capacity to be enlightened. No herd enlightenment for you!
  15. Well, I've often renamed the neighborhood kids in a brave effort, but without parental consent, and it went nowhere. In the real world of US registered vessels you need to file a name change with the US Coast Guard. That requires ownership proof. They then issue your official document. It's enough of a fiasco that people hire agencies to do the paperwork and filing. So, unless he has connections it sounds to me like he just said it to get laid.
  16. THAT MUCH, I RESPECT . FROM THE START YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID YOU WERE IT DOING HOW YOU LIKED AND WE COULD ALL JUST GO SPELL CHECK OURSELVES .
  17. So then you were simply bloviating and had no point to make?
  18. No one? So, it's just a thing that is gained from some form of education. I use it and don't as the mood, and flow, strikes. To be sure, you are free to revel in your own literary expressions as you desire and, in turn, we are free to not give a fuck.
  19. F'n stop it, jakee. Start looking at what people are thinking rather than looking at every post like a frog that needs dissecting.
  20. "apparently the classes that i had to take in college, the english ones that i almost aced with a 97 and 98 respectively, were bunk and wasted money then. i suppose i had better quit writing altogether." Agreed. And while you apparently did waste your money you should not quit writing. Just try to get better. But before then you might pen a note to the college President, in your inimitable style as proof, demanding that your tuition be returned with interest. As a side note, by being stubborn you have transformed this from being a passing criticism of your criticism into a personal credibility issue. Just fall on any conveniently available sword and this all goes bye bye. Except when skydiving, it is never too late to make the right decision.
  21. You composed this gem while laying claim to having good grammar. Well, you do not. Not that it matters because what really matters is writing with sufficient clarity to be easily understood. You shouldn't want your reader to struggle with your style. That, in fact, is exactly what makes richravizza so tedious and unreadable.
  22. I just knew some good would come of this.
  23. Interesting spin by KOIN. Here, the Curacao Times headline was: Local businessman killed by negligent car owner.
  24. I'm not so much for defunding them as I am for defanging them. Maybe they should need to load first or wear funny hats or something to make it all less serious on initial contact. I also think Police Unions need to be abolished if they cannot be separated from the punishment process. Back when the cops would sometimes take you home if you were plastered or just tell you to sleep it off. Not saying that's good, just saying it was different four decades ago. If your skin color was correct the cops were your friends and you wouldn't think twice about asking one for help. These day's I don't feel that way.
