  1. How were they illegals? I wasnt aware of any native immigration laws. Well, technically, in God's eyes, no one is illegal. But you are just being obtuse. You know full well what is being said here. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. It must be true. Chris D says so IN ALL CAPS, and he is always right. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE YELLS AT US!!!!!!
  3. Probably because it's of little importance in anyone's life and they have other, better ways to waste time. Like hanging out on internet forums. The skydiving community is actually doing fairly well.
  4. That is pretty much the story of America. That and armed insurrection from those with no voting rights. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. There is a whole school of thought that holds that no one has free will. We all react in the only way we can to whatever situation we are in. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. Nope. I make it a point not to ridicule or belittle anyone's beliefs in whatever deity they choose. We all have to believe something. I only object to the way people use their beliefs to justify mistreating or forcing others. I also have absolutely no problem jumping without an AAD. Although I do now have one in my main rig. Your conceited belief is that I will eventually come to believe as you do. The conceit in that is you are stating that you are right and I am wrong. And that one day I will see my error.

  7. I took Keith's, and others use of the word effeminate to mean "less than a man". If you wanted to use a term with a more positive meaning you could use "feminine". Effeminate is a word almost always used to insult a man. You know that and I know that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. I won't give you crap about believing. But I am very amused by your belief that I will come to believe you are correct. How conceited of you. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. Like Andrew Johnson, Trump will do his best to defy the courts. He will end up standing alone. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. Well, Happy Thanksgiving to all my non-native American friends! But an SC post would not be complete without some reference to this: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/native-americans-mark-thanksgiving-day-mourning-59361915 Enjoy yourselves watching team redacted play this afternoon. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/thanksgiving-game-cowboys-just-another-insult-native-americans-season-full-ncna939296 Cowboys VS Indians........

  11. My wife just got one last year. A Tempo 150 was a bit on the small side and a Tempo 170 was a bit tight. I'm going to try a PD143R next time I pack it. I hope that helps.
  12. It's a little known fact that non US citizen humans are people under US law. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. See the last post in announcements. Nov 12/18 Looks like it's coming but more work to be done first.
  14. I understand you. In the end religion and morality have nothing to do with each other. And there is not a lot of logic in morality either. Morals change and shift as needed. Morality is impossible to get a grip on. It's one of those "I can't explain it, but I know it when I see it things". Actually we hear very little about what is moral. We hear a lot about what is immoral. And it's almost always about something someone else is doing. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. This is why arguing is pointless. Either you believe or you don't. It will never make sense, it never can. Some people just need to believe. There is no use trying to take that away from them. Of course, exactly what they believe is never the same for any two people. Just as many believers will place Bundy in hell as in heaven. Meh,....whatever.

  16. A man gets on a bus, and ends up sitting next to a very attractive nun. Enamored with her, he asks if he can have sex with her. Naturally, she says no, and gets off the bus. The man goes to the bus driver and asks him if he knows of a way for him to have sex with the nun. "Well," says the bus driver, "every night at 8 o'clock, she goes to the cemetery to pray. If you dress up as God, I'm sure you could convince her to have sex with you." The man decides to try it, and dresses up in his best God costume. At eight, he sees the nun and appears before her. "Oh, God!" she exclaims. "Take me with you!" The man tells the nun that she must first have sex with him to prove her loyalty. The nun says yes, but tells him she prefers anal sex. Before you know it, they're getting down to it, having nasty, grunty, loud sex. After it's over, the man pulls off his God disguise. "Ha, ha!" he says, "I'm the man from the bus!" "Ha, ha!" says the nun, removing her costume, "I'm the bus driver!" Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. But then he would not have anything to talk about. Jerry Baumchen Soon enough the Ds will start the 2020 nomination fight and there will be new demons to excoriate. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. Keep telling yourself that losing the House doesn't matter. The voters have clearly moved away from Trump in the places that matter. I'm sure he'll do fine in SD, but no one lives there. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. Link? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. Don't forget large and male, not just dark. Training helps, but all of us have built in biases. It doesn't mean that an officer is going to automatically shoot. It just makes it a little more likely. When you add that to the more known factor of general police harassment of black males, such as stop and frisk, and driving while black, it equals a feeling among the community of fearing the police.

  21. Canada 31.7, US 26.0. But healthcare spending is 16% in the US versus less than 10 % for Canada. But man, no one has a better shinier more powerful military than America. They get a lot of power from their taxation. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    McConnell

    Never happen. But what will happen is that the new level of hardball he brought to the Senate will be used by the other party one day. Maybe as soon as 2021. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. He very likely did. But poor working conditions will not be found at HQ2. Those are reserved for the poorly educated in the salt mines of the fulfillment centres. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. “What’s wrong, Bubba?” asked the pastor. “I need you to pray for my hearing,” said Bubba. The pastor put his hands on Bubba’s ears and prayed. When he was done, he asked, “So how’s your hearing?” “I don’t know,” said Bubba. “It isn’t until next Tuesday.” Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  25. I've been talking about this up here: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-november-13-2018-1.4902679/indigenous-women-kept-from-seeing-their-newborn-babies-until-agreeing-to-sterilization-says-lawyer-1.4902693?fbclid=IwAR0ZR3tHDntFfbfbmH2D5cQGOFtHmPjdzeSWwJxi43qwXfojIP06qaHP0q4 So yes, I do. Thanks. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
