  1. lead poisoning, eh? I would have thought the edged weapons would have had a lead, but can't argue with a physics professor. The US is not a knife culture. It is a somewhat violent culture, but blades are not the weapon of choice. Knives are deadlier than firearms in that if you are attacked by one you are more likely to be killed, but firearms are used in more homicides each year. The professor has his numbers correct, but his conclusion wrong, as usual. Guns don't cause homicide any more than cameras cause porn or cars cause wrecks. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  2. I wonder if they forget how much is recorded these days. AG Holder says he didn't know anything about it until May 2011. But Pres Obama gave an interview in March 2011 talking about the program. And the very best part is that in a press conference on 24 March 2009. Yes, two years earlier, Deputy AG David Ogden listed the program by name and purpose. Not to mention the memos sent to AG Holder. But even better, in 2009 AG Holder himself bragged about Operation Gunrunner. So anyone have an over under on when AG Hodler gets hit with a perjury charge? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  3. (A) Judges and prosecutors are not the same thing. A decision by prosecutors has no effect on decisions by judges. Enforcement of the order is also separate from the court. Do not mix them together as "the system". Easch is responsible for their own part. (B) Budgets have nothing to do with right and wrong. (C) This was not a budget issue. The man brought his case to court. The courts time and resources were already used. The judge made a piss-poor decision. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  4. So do doctors and cars. What's your point? Blame the instrument? Would you blame a Lady Blunt for horrid screeching, or would you blame the one playing? Would you blame the car or the drinks when a drunk driver kills someone? Would you blame the sword in the OP article? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  5. Don't hide behind probably. If their budget was slashed say so. If it wasn't, then you're lying. If you're to lazy to check, then just don't fling it out there and hope it sticks. What has the court got to do with enforcing an order, that's what law enforcement is for. You really are a master at rationalizing away anyone's shortcomings, unless you think their decisions are guided by principles you don't share. The judge was wrong. Don't make excuses for him when you don't know what was in his head. It could be as simple as sexism or a faulty grasp of the law. Or it could be very complex and justified. But I doubt the latter. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  6. I just thought it was funny that it was a frenchamn with a sword, involving a gun permit. And Paul, if you want to be picky, if he was bent on mass killing, he didn't need a gun. Blades work perfectly well for that, too. And before you celebrate that only one person died instead of several, take into account that it was a police officer, in a police station, surrounded by other officers, with guns. But if you want to say the system work (as to denying him a gun permit), well then I have to ask: why don't they register and permit swords? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  8.

  9. And my answer is to offer to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn. So your position on this entire issue is that you don't care, don't want to do anything, and anyone who wants better is guillible. Why do you even bother posting? (I'm also still wondering why you think the attorney general falls under the "Elected Official" category, but one question at a time) witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  10. You ever consider taking the hint and staying off the site, since that's apparently what the folks running it want? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  11. I posed a question to you. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  12. So dicking around in the Middle East and SE Asia isn't enough for him, now he's going to war in Africa. Fan-fucking-tastic. Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss. So which liberal blog is going to call him a warmonger first? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  13. Cleaning politicis is like cleaning mud. The only way to stay clean is to stay out of it. aka - "You can't pick up a turd by the clean end" witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  14. At least we can agree on that much. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  15. What kind of gun did he use? We obviously need to ban that. Then we need to ban marriage, conception, and divorce. Maybe tugboats too. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  16. I don't give a flying flip about what you expect. We're not talking about a politicians flapping gums. We are discussing our government directly supporting funding and taking part in smuggling small arms into a neighboring country. We are discussing a coverup and perjury from the Attorney General (you know, the top law enforcement officer in the country). We are talking about two dead federal law enforcement agents and two hundred or more dead Mexicans. So do you have something to say about that, or is it "eh, I don't care about integrity, dead cops, dead Mexicans, and smuggling guns" for contribution? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  17. Yes, politicians lie. How many of them lied under oath to congress? How many Heads of DOJ lied under oath to congress about asinine programs that involved the death of at least two federal law enforcement officers? This isn't kissing babies and promissing lower taxes. This is a whole lot bigger than slick Willie's zipper-gate (perjury-gate), Iran-Contra, and any other presidential scandal I can remember. Did you take an "eh, Reagan lied, no big deal" response to Iran Contra? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  18. Oh, well, that's OK then. No harm in killing and maiming little brown kids. I didn't address the Iraqi children because that wasn't a part of the discussion. The professor has difficulty understanding those of us who directly answer other posters. Seeing as he's incapable, we cut him some slack when he doesn't understand when others do so. He also thinks he is subtle and clever when insinuating that others are racist or fascist when they disagree with him. He isn't, and it's insulting, but don't take it personally, he does that to everyone. He also seems to expect you to answerotherpists before they hit the board. Interesting considerig his issues with responding even after other posts are up. But it's impolite to use the word hypocrite too often, so ignoring him works too. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  19. The end result is the same... another generation of children sacrificed on someones ALTAR Deary, I think you missed the volunteer-for-service vs kidnapped-for-murder. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  21. No no no, California will waste spend even more money on it, so it will be even more valuable! witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  22. Gotta love that last line. 'Since we're already treating citizens like sex offenders for exercising their rights, why not treat them like shot when they exercise other rights.' What good has come from the handgun registry, and how much has it cost the state? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  23. And then at some point folks started listening to complaints about profiling and harassment and such. Now a cop heard saying that will wind up in civil court for a few years. You're not allowed to treat criminals. Fuckwits want everyone treated equally. They never got the memo: not everyone is equal - the ones doing wrong do need to be treated differently. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  24. I don't. Can you help out us wonderers out here? Criminal peers/associates Anti social personality/BPD Addiction Dysfunctional family Lesser factors include low sociology-economic status and the like And the one that leads directly to Big Brother. Orwells' 1984 is getting closer and closer to reality. Meh, WTH...we're Americans! We'll give up rights faster that the French give up battles....which, BTW, is now nothing more than an old cliche when compared to U.S. sheeple. New American flag: White with a lube logo. Us vs Them and Them is winning. Oh, we're well beyond 1984. And I wasn't saying I wanted any of this to happen, just that it's an interesting mental exercise.

  25. Yep, just because all violent criminals do/are ABCD, that doesn't mean squat unless all people who do/are ABCD commit a violent crime. We all know the indicators for "at risk" folks to become criminals, but what separates the possible criminals from the actual ones? THAT is the really interesting question. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
