A corrupt politician? A corrupt religious leader? Taking advantage of every Tom Dick and Muhammad? Say it ain't so! [/sarcasm] Pakistan is kinda like if you gave Mexico nukes and no USA type big brother next door.

So, since that is an EXPANSION of existing law, that makes all your claims of 'supporting existing law', lies. At least it's finally out in the open. Having a hard time telling the difference between expansion and enforcement? The current law mandates background checks on FFL sales. You want background checks on all sales. Do you think that is not an expansion beyond what is requires by law? Now do you see why many here don't know what your positions on individual gun rights are? So can you link us to a post or thread where you clearly stated your views on gun rights and/or the second amendment. I can and have. Can you? Do I have to create a survey of 100 yes or no questions for you just so we can be clear? edit to add: or is this going to be the fourth thread in a row where you ducked out after being called out? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

no it's not... "I know you are but what am I?" You're going to have to do better than that. How is making a decision based on race not racist? Choosing one person because of their race automatically means not choosing another person because of their race. If you choose not to hire someone because of their race, isn't that racist? How is discrimination based on race not racist? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Killing a man is not inherently wrong. The circumstances can make it so. Considering race is inherently racist. If being racist is wrong (and I belive it is), then considering race is wrong. Your analopgy would've been more relevant if you'd compared murder and considering race, rather than killing and considering race. Would change the outcome, though. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Was it legal for anyone other than on-duty law enforcement to carry firearms or other weapons on Va Tech campus when Cho started shooting people? So the gun alws were on the books. They needed a tweak, and we tweaked. The failings here were mental health, school administrators, and possibly local authorities. Those are the areas we need to be addressing. And by the way, we're still waiting for you to link to the posts where you've clearly stated your position on firearms. Can you? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I completely disagree. Wrongs to not make rights. Either an action is right, or it is not. There is no such thing as "anti-racism" or "reverse-racism" or any of that nonsense. There is racism, and there is the absence of racism. Giving advantages or discriminating based on race is RACISM. There is no reasonable way to sugar coat it. I have a dream that Americans will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Doesn't that sound like a great place to be? Or should we follow the DOJ example? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Homicide is not the same as murder. Shooting a man down in self defense is not the same as shooting a child because you felt like it. Shooting a man is not always wrong. Murdering a man is. Quite simply, your example there isn't a "second wrong." If you want to start adding details, like maybe it was a standoff with no hostages and the suspect only ahd a knife and the officer shot him with a rifle from a distance for no justifiable reason, then yes, that officer should be charged and tried and jailed. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

So hiring someone based on their race is wrong, unless you approve of hiring of people of that particular race based on their race. Have you looked up hypocrite recently? I can help you out. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I suppose you're right. This isn't even an instance of a lesser applicant getting the job over a more qualified applicant. This is a case of forced hiring of people who failed the basic "I'm not an idiot" test. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I understand you had to work with the idiotic statement by a politician (he really deserves a spot in Wendy's thread), but a better poll/thread title might be: Which is a bigger threat: Muslim Extremists or White Supremacists? Unfortunately I have to deal with a few white supremacists at work on a twice or more per month basis. (they are our "clients" not my coworkers) Every one of them despises the KKK and criticizes them very strongly. These guys are bikers, aryan nations, or neo nazi types. Not much better in my mind than KKK, but they certainly believe they are. The KKK is a dead and rotting organization. Anywhere they show up, there are usually more people there to "counter protest" than there are for the Klan side, and most people jsut don't give a flying fuck. The KKK is a joke. Any informed person knows there are some dangerous White Supremacists out there, no mistake, but the KKK doesn't really fit anymore. If I had to pick one to worry about, the ones most likely to affect me are outlaw motorcycle gangs. If I thought I'd ever have to work at, visit, or reside in a prison, then Arayan Brotherhood or the Neo Nazi types would rank highest. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Really? I am a federal workers and we have collective bargaining rights and agreements. Are you a memeber of a union or other collective bargaining organization? If so, which one? Politifact reports Obama made a campaign promise to "Restore collective bargaining rights to federal employees." That implies that most fed employees don't have collective bargaining rights. From the same page, "Most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for benefits, nor for pay." is marked as a true statement. So what makes it false as related to your position?

I graduated from UMCP. For those not "in the know," College Park is surrounded by some of the worst parts of PG County. Laurel is nowhere near those nasty areas. I don't know if they do local schools or if they bus them around the county, but either way the decision to expel the boy was plain old fashioned goat fuck stupid. Thankfully, as Andy pointed out, it looks like the boy is going back to school, but this kind of shit happens all too often. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Jeanne, where do you come up with this shit. For Pete's sake, just read the first two paragraphs of your own article. The bund was a few thousand loud mouthed morons spewing hate and venom. They were a joke. They were never even as influential as the morons in the KKK. Your article says what, nine thousand or so? Just because some schmuck buys or rents some land for his little racist retreat in a certain state, that doesn't mean the state has anything to do with his idiocy. Your own source article says that the cretins created more I'll will towards Germany and the Nazis than they did towards anyone else. What's next, are you going to tell us how New Jersey and New York are bastions of right wing ideology just waiting to institute fascism? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Well, that was an interesting little diversion. So what's next? Wis. GOP bypasses Dems, cuts collective bargaining witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

It's gone so far that the sufferers of this condition are now apparently terrified of any item with the word "gun" in its name. Currently: tatto gun. Up next? Staple gun and glue gun. Solder guns and caulking guns in the near future.

Well, it's officially a national story. CBS News "broke" the story after an "investigation" that seems to involve reading other people's blogs and articlces. Agent: I was ordered to let U.S. guns into Mexico ATF agent says "Fast and Furious" program let guns "walk" into hands of Mexican drug cartels with aim of tracking and breaking a big case Documents point to ATF "gun running" since 2008 Undercover ATF photo shows display of high-powered weapons put out for suspected Mexican drug cartel gun buyers DHS Chief Napolitano says she was not aware of agency's link to ATF "gun running" And here's the best part: Press Sec Carney: No comment on GunWalker And he wouldn't even say if Obama was "aware" of the situation. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

the assumption is we won the war and can get plenty of guns if needed... (how's it feel china paying for all your weapons) Sure you can get guns. you agree with me then... Not really. You see, grownups read the entire post or article. They don't stop at the first sentence. My post looked something like this: So have you got anything to say about the entire post? Also, I should have pointed out that the UK government can get guns. Not so much the everyday subject of the crown. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

the assumption is we won the war and can get plenty of guns if needed... (how's it feel china paying for all your weapons) Sure you can get guns. You buy them. From the USA. We make the best. And what do you mean about China and US weapons. They certainly don't need or want our small arms, and we don't sell them the bigger stuff. They steal a fair portion of technical data, but they're not paying the US for it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
