The nation has a cashflow problem. Cash flows both ways, in and out. Let's try to fix the cashflow problem. Sure, it flows out more than it takes in. We should only spend what we have come in. But as the Gov has never had to be accountable, that won't happen. Matt Well, IMO Keynes had it right - (A) run a deficit when times are bad, and (B) repay with a surplus when times are good. Trouble, is the government regularly does part (A) but rarely follows up with part (B). Only during Clinton's term can I recall any attempt at (B). Have we actually had a true surplus since '41? I agree with your points. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! -

According to some of the uninformed, anyway. He bears responsibility, just like the Presidents before him. To think other wise is naive. The President has the Veto, he should play hard ball with it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! -

It's funny how people like to blame Obama until it is shown that it isn't logical to blame him for the debt or deficit growth in recent years. Then they change their tune to "stop blaming," instead of acknowledging that it was conservative leadership that led us into this fiscal mess. Until we can acknowledge how the problem came about, there is little hope in solving it. Well, he bears equal blame, as it should applied all POTUS, and Congressmen. This is not a Conservative/Liberal Only effort, they worked together hand in hand at putting us in this predicament. IMO we stop the spending first, get that under control, then short term tax bumps if needed. But Politicians, being Politicians that won't happen. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Those items are a drop in the bucket. SS, MC/MC, and Defense are the three big elephants in the room. And do you really want to get rid of the FBI, CIA, CDC, and FAA (well, maybe, but ATC is nice)? Some sure (ATF DEA, good to go, to go away), but mostly, as I stated in the response to the Prof, I am being sarcastic. We have not been a Nation in Debt since '41, just gets deeper and deeper each year no matter who is the POTUS. No matter who, it is the other guy is to blame, the arguers just change their stance on it each time to fit their politics. The Country has a Spending Issue, lets get that under control then we can debate taxes. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! -

Well, we could stop Foreign Aid, Pork Projects, and can any alphabet offices not in one of the three bold items. Should leave plenty of cash left over for a tax cut and maybe even a hefty refund! Matt Ummm - NO. Cut all of that and you still have a $900Billion deficit. MATH skills ARE important. So, the last four years have put us that deep in debt? WOW! My math is pretty good, my sarcasm is even better though. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! -

massive shooting at Batman projection...
matthewcline replied to piisfish's topic in Speakers Corner
I am surprised that you of all people would point out that the gun murder rate in Chicago has increased significantly since the GUN BAN IN CHICAGO WAS OVERTURNED IN JUNE 2010. On all the sites I've looked at Illinois is still listed as a no carry state. Have I missed something? Nope. Only state in the Union that totally bans civilian carry. Of course there's ways around it (certified firearms instructor have an exception, so do "Special Police" , which are the people, including the mob, that pay off the local chief - really) Chicago had a pretty much total pistol ban for many years. There was no way for a civilian to legally own a pistol (with the exceptions noted above), let alone carry one. And Chicago has fought tooth and nail to keep city residents from getting pistols. They've had to go to court a number of times because they keep ignoring the MacDonald Supreme Court ruling and keep trying to keep the ban going. So for the most part, if the ban was lifted, nothing has changed as far as citizens having guns so any increase in crime has nothing to do with it. -

You may not be aware, but this is a monitored sight by Legal types, as it is not closed to guests, lawyers for the City are rumored to have even mentioned this thread already. Now, they know you broke an FAR. (See Strat's posts) That does not help the DZ, but as you apparently had a member of the DZ Ownership with you, they knew the risks.

Willy Voet was not a racer; He was a soigneur. i.e. he was the guy who *managed* the doping program for Team Festina. ? I said a racer admitted how they did it openly, you pointed out the sneaky guys, I said sure they do that too. What is this our big dick measurement moment?

Lefties will want to read more: CLICKY This article is nothing more than a mirror of the articles run by the Right saying don't vote your conscience, don't do what you think is the right thing, don't vote third party it will but the other guy in office! Sadly, we are reduced to the lesser of two evils vote and both sides play it to the hilt! Essentially admitting they aren't the best, but the other guy is worse! Matt PS. The Budget video was spot on with the numbers and the why's, hardly hogwash. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! -
Nope. Not that simple. Lots of workarounds: - Micro-dosing to keeps levels below detection threshold. - Diuretics and/or drinking lots of water to flush out the system. - Saline injections just before the tests to dilute the blood. - Sleight of hand tricks worthy of any magician to substitute urine samples. - Social engineering. Well, this was an admission by a racer, he was open about it and witnessed it daily. Your other items sure, they happen, but they are the smaller percentage compared to the open doping he mentioned. Then each year the list is modified to add the new stuff. Point, lets just drop the pretense, let the Olympic be what the have really become: a big dick measurement, and allow any thing and every thing. Call it the "Unlimited Olympics" and we let Dr. Moreau like science have a ball! (or three, if it is advantageous) Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Cyclists have been beating drug tests for decades. Read Willy Voet's "Breaking the Chain" for an eye-opener on how they were doing it in the 80's & 90's. Well, they beat the tests by not getting caught for the banned substances. the IOC and other Governing bodies put out a list annually, this list says these drugs are banned, the athletes go take what is not on the list, but just as enhancing. Of course my info only comes from one of the racers, who said it is no real secret, accept to the press and rest of the world, but to the riders, IOC, etc, common knowledge.

The majority of the people throwing out comments like that seem to be in the pro-gun crowd. I haven't seen too many people truly advocating that in this thread. Are you sure you have read this somewhere, or are you just having a knee-jerk reaction? Cause all these knee-jerk reactions make me think that many do have a problem having this dicussion. Your observations are true about this thread, but this thread is not where the new laws are being proposed. Members of Congress are already adding amendments, to unrelated laws, to do the very things the "knee Jerk" crowd goes on about. Some of those same Members of Congress have said their goal is to remove all guns from society, their justification is law abiding citizens do not need them any way. Those individuals should not be at the debate table, just like the "Arms includes, Nukes!" individuals need not be there. Those two extremes are not going to ever have a healthy discussion.

Yes, you are. Why do you think the Founding Fathers had a 2nd Amendment and made sure it was spelled out? I'll give you a hint, it was not for hunting and was not for self defense - Read the Founding Fathers thoughts on Blackstone. Those rights were considered everyday rights and they saw no reason to even mention them since it was a given. Again, why do you think the Founding Fathers specifically wrote the 2nd? You say; "Ignore", I say; "Compromise". is it the ideal situation? No. But is it better than having NO 2nd Amendment? Yes. http://www.largo.org/meaning2.html Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Knoss Replies with: Jo States: THIS is exactly the kind of CRAP we are tired of hearing. For someone who claims to have SO MUCH Knowledge about this crime, you should know Janet DOES NOT live in Beaverton or Union County! Have you ever spent one penny in something called "research"? All you do is RIDE off of the research of others and distort their information to the extent it does NOT even resemble what you read or were told in the 1st place. You WILL be prosecuted for deflammation of character and interference with an active investigation...by giving false testimony to journalist and investigators. The New articles you CLAIM to have regarding Duane's ex-wife: YOU could NOT produce these for Gray and he found NOTHING in any newpaper archive you referred to. If I remember correctly he may have checked the arrest records for that time frame. Let's put it this way - WE (me, myself and I and company) did check and NO such article exists. No arrest records for a 3 yr period of time under "any name" was made for the crime of theft you proclaimed she committed. You stated the alledged crime in this thread and that was REASON to involve "others" - who by the way live in YOUR state. These "others" are directly connect to the person you have publically accused of commiting a crime. You have committed FRAUD and deflammation of CHARACTER with the above (that is just 2 of the charges). I expect others will be added. Suggest you ARM yourself IMMEDIATELY with "YOUR" copies of those articles...you are going to need them! ___________________________________________ It happened just as I said. It was covered up. I did save one copy of each newspaper. You are great at accusations and awfully short on information. Why is that? What are you trying to hide? Why are you 100% opposed to ANYTHING I present, when EVERYTHING I present is truthful? This is mathematically improbable. Does not compute. There is something else at play here. Convenient, the good old cover up story, again. Blah blah blah. Nothing new from you but the same old regurgitated fable. If you do have the copies, provide them, other wise, it is a lie.
