    BAN GARLIC

    Just the opposite; the law took effect hours after the shooting. Enhanced background checks aren't going to mean anything if there's no enforcement of ownership from cradle to grave.
  3. That's not what it says. This is how the fake news bullshit starts. It says, "Trump officials say children of SOME service members overseas will not get automatic citizenship" "USCIS issued a clarification to the rule later Wednesday, explaining that the new rule would only affect three categories of people: Children of non-U.S. citizens adopted by U.S. citizen government employees or service members; children of non-U.S. citizen government employees or service members who were naturalized after the child's birth; and children of U.S. citizens who do not meet residency requirements." Pretty much the same rules - except the paperwork has changed. “The only thing that has changed here is the forms they have to fill out, the process they have to go through to get that child to be a U.S. citizen. That is it. We didn’t change a single person who would or could become a U.S. citizen,” Cuccinelli told the PBS NewsHour. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/what-new-citizenship-rules-mean-for-children-of-u-s-personnel-living-abroad

  5. 1. Strong Moral Convictions & outlier experience. 2. But also, stay on topic! - 2.1 Which Topic? 2.2 When you achieve Greenie status, then you can be bossy. 2.3 The forum rules indicate that on-topic is to be placed in the thread header followed by [ON-TOPIC] - this wasn't done and is the reason there's about four other topics in this thread.
  6. Brent, quite awhile ago... I too; was a climate denier. After a couple of years of Bill's education and suggested readings concluded it was more than likely he was correct. Please consider reviewing the "Talk" section of the article. You'll find that one (which I remember) has been in sanction mode for awhile. I'm not sure why it hasn't been touched in about nine years... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth's_atmosphere
  7. For future reference - you qualify. It never has said when you leave - only when you dock. http://www.starcrestawards.com/scr-awards/
  8. So, if I may connect the dots for you... (Satellite operation of West Tennessee Skydiving/Mike Mullins Super King Air) - He's saying it would be best to contact him for assistance.

  10. To all; I'm going to summarize almost all of your points into one response and then I'm done. First, I never said a "Ban" on abortions - I said "reduce." For me; the use of abortion as birth control is immoral. I support abortions for women whom have suffered with Domestic Violence (i.e, spousal physical abuse/rape/control), medical issues for both her and the fetus. You mention respect. You ever notice that men are all for abortion as a woman's right? I'll give you my opinion on that - it's because most men don't want to have to stare that responsibility in the face. They just want to "Fuck & Flee." There are a lot more men willing to accept their responsibility than the media would lead us to believe. When we have terminated the life of an unborn child simply because it's more convenient to our lives - then to me; we as a society have crumbled. I don't think there's anyone in this room that I've known for a long time (no matter what our differences) that would hesitate to protect a child from harm. If Bill & Amy left their children with us; it would be with the knowledge that if harm came to them - it's because I died trying to protect them. I take it a step further. I am willing to try to protect the unborn. The left is trying to protect children in schools. I agreed and leaned heavily that way. I want to protect those in the womb. I believe those who cannot speak need a stronger voice. I live with a medical professional (as does Bill), so I'm sure the household discussions have been as much as they have been in-depth. . I will agree that a blanket "Heartbeat Starts" is not the solution, but a solution that works for me until we have one better. We can debate the definition of "starts" ad nauseum as has been going on for decades, but it boils down to two things: Heart Death and/or Brain Death. For me, heart death works and so; heartbeat starts works. If as one poster states; there's a moving line for the definition of heartbeat (I am familiar), then the first step is to get the medical professionals to agree on what that "start" is. For me; start is the first heartbeat. I don't expect anyone to agree, disagree or even understand. It is my opinion.
  11. For the most part - you and I are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but your presentation here is less than I would expect from you.
  12. Clinical death is the medical term for cessation of blood circulation and breathing. The heart stops. Then the beginning of life is...
  13. Brother, perhaps I should have expanded the point. When one hugs and looks their kids in the eye... How do you say, "the opposite of this is abortion?"
  14. Afternoon, Wendy. So, help me understand your position because when I read it; the two are separate and then combined. I am strictly opposed to abortion as a means of birth control AND to abortions after a heartbeat. And, in many cases, I think the man should have a choice also.
  15. But, you're opposed to a "Ban" on abortions with a heartbeat? I'm not going to continue to flog this pony. I've had this debate with most on here for ~20 years. The point is; I; as a member of the right party have gone more than one step to address the left party's gun control platform. Yet the left is unwilling to budge on the abortion issue. Give your kids a hug tonight.

  17. No more so than Joe. I was anti-abortion long before Trump came along.
  18. As soon as the left joins me in reducing the unborn child homicide rate by more than 50%.
  19. I'm sure some Motorcycle Ministry would have something to say :)
  20. At some point, should the conversation include parasitic drag.
  21. And, that is how the Skydivers MC got started.
