  1. It used to matter when a POTUS spoke. But not now. Now it's just a the utterances of a bratty child-man with too much power and no sense. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    LSD

    I did acid mostly as a teenager. 15 to 19. It was almost always good Saturday night fun. Almost all were with groups of 5 to 10 friends. Almost all involved large amounts of beer drinking, which appeared to have no effect at all other than thirst quenching. I'm sure we were all very drunk too, but we did not notice for some reason. Many of my best memories are of events that happened while tripping. Many of the most dangerous things that I'm lucky to have survived as well. Yes, it did give me the feeling of having profound insight. But I believe that is an illusion like all things drugs give you. I am not surprised to hear that there is interest in hallucinogens as potential therapies. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. The BBC take on that story: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44479635 Would you like to bet on her leaving? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  4. Two things. Yes, tongue in cheek. The other thing, Trump gives off the impression that he wishes he could make it so. He is in the habit of abusing his power. We don't know where he would stop. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. There is a photography and video forum that would be a better place to ask. You can also learn a lot by reading and searching through it.
  6. It's kind of funny that the story made it into a newspaper somewhere. But it's an internet hoax at it's root. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/golden-ticket-arrest/
  7. Nevermind the evangelicals, some of the Mennonites in Canada are getting upset at all the Trump bashing: http://dailybonnet.com/local-man-unfollows-satire-site-one-many-trump-posts/ Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. Google the company, go to their website. They are a NY based distributor of sewing machines. They sell all kinds of makes and models, some under their own brand. It's not possible to say much about the machine you are talking about. If you mean this: http://www.sewstrong.com/walking_foot_sewing_machine/re607z_long_arm/ I've seen the same machine with at least 5 or 6 different brand names on it.
  9. What audience? We have less than 20 regular posters here and although DZ has lots of members only a few drop in and read our drivel. We are all here to amuse our small group. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. I believe Marc's thinking is flawed. But I'm not at war with him. Trump is in power mainly because the R party did not have another candidate who excited so many people. As far as giving them airtime, they have the same right to be heard as anyone else. If they are to be defeated, and they will be, it will be in the marketplace of ideas. Unchecked? I don't think so, the resistance is strong. And it would be a huge mistake to underestimate the number of people willing to follow Trump. We did that once, never again. You can't and won't "make Marc answer". You can and should point out the inherent weaknesses in his arguments. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  11. Me personally? It's just not that important to me to try to make Marc answer for his BS. It's enough to occasionally point out how ridiculous some of it is and read some of the rest as a synopsis of the current right wing talk show garbage. I'm just not into banging my head into a wall over and over in a futile attempt to talk sense to Marc. I come here for enjoyment, not challenge.

  12. I don't think that word means what you think it means. The WH is looking for a replacement for Sarah. Maybe Marc? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. “Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.” -Steve Jobs The older I get, the more I'm inclined to believe most people would be better off experimenting with hallucinogens than with religion. Ha! The last time I spoke to Jesus was during my only bad acid trip. I was 15 years old and worried that I would never come down! I stopped believing when I was nine, but that stuff they grind into you as a young child has a way of sticking in your head.

  14. You post so many things that turn out to be nothing but talk show bullshit that I'm not going to bother trying to research this. But I am calling bullshit. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. Anytime Marc! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. The angrier you sound the more you claim to be having fun. Are you a masochist? Do you come here because you crave punishment? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. So, what usually happens is that the thread goes dead and just gets buried down the list. Unless someone comments, then it goes back to the top. In other words, as soon as you post that you wish it would go away it comes back. You're welcome.
  18. Just get measured by an experienced dealer and order from a larger established suit maker. Tell them you both want to skydive with average speed groups. They will know what to do. Your wife will probably need to wear a weight belt to be comfortable doing FS in groups.
  19. This guy is probably going to get a job as a school resource officer. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/06/14/fargo-blind-gun-owner-self-defense-minnesota-permit Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. It's a time period. About 2 or 3 hours.
  21. He will pardon some more people in a not so subtle hint to Cohen and others that if they keep quiet they can hope for the same. Of course he will burn them in an instant once they are no longer useful. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. Actually, the more I think about it the more I come to the conclusion that this is the only possible outcome other than war with NK. No matter who is POTUS. NK did the work, and made the sacrifices. They are not going to give up their hard won security. The chances of them abandoning nukes is approximately the same as the chances of the USA or Israel doing so. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. Anyone who can not see that the main result of this meeting is Kim's first step into acceptance as a nuclear power state for NK is not looking clearly at the history and his stated goals. Trump has been played. Other Presidents have been played before, but not a well as Kim has done. But that is to be expected of a dotard.

  24. I wonder how long he will keep on with the juvenile name calling? Sooner or later it will occur to him that it just makes all right wingers look stupid. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  25. Trump has not faced a crisis yet. There are plenty of people on both the left and the right with serious concerns about how he would perform if faced with one. Given what his personality traits have been shown to be, with good reason. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
