  1. I knew this was going in the direction of "Obama" before, I even clicked Ron's link. But God Damn, it's literally the first three words of the rambling diatribe. I hope you read all the way down to the "Donate" button on the bottom of the page. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. Tim Cook is a little upset at the latest attack: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-ceo-tim-cook-calls-orlando-shooting-act-of-terrorism-and-hate/ I know the police have the shooters phone. If it's a locked Iphone do you think he should help the police retrieve the information from it? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. I've never done that. But the reason to keep the brake lines in the centre is generally to prevent them going over. The method shown looks like a good way to get line burn on the tail though. As a rule, the fabric gets pleated and pushed away from the centre and the lines get placed into the centre. But all kinds of things work just fine, and I'm sure this will too.

  4. Despicable Donald has launched a new claim. He is calling today his "70th birthday". But given his history of lies and self aggrandizement we can hardly be expected to just take him at his word. Has he released his birth certificate to the press? Or is he invoking his right to wait until the IRS is finished auditing him?

  5. King James version: 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Complete Jewish Bible: 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah — not until everything that must happen has happened. Disciples’ Literal New Testament : 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, one iota[c] or one stroke[d] will by no means pass away from the Law until all things take-place[e]. GOD’S WORD Translation: 18 I can guarantee this truth: Until the earth and the heavens disappear, neither a period nor a comma will disappear from the Scriptures before everything has come true. I hope this helps you to understand the book of ancient fables better. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

  7. I'm changing it up with support from Letterman. Despicable Donald. It kind of rolls off the tongue a little better. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/letterman-slams-trump-hes-despicable/ar-AAgT6lw Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  8. You have finally convinced me. You are going to vote for trump, right? I hope you don't need to shoot too many scavengers to drive them off. Will you fire from a distance to warn them? Or wait till they get a little closer so you can kill a couple as an example? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. Why only Islam? Start with the most virulent strains. Think AIDS vs. genital warts. The same virus that causes genital warts causes cervical cancer. Religions all tend to do evil to those outside or non compliant. Islam is running amok for more reasons than it's core beliefs. It currently is thriving in a lawless corrupt environment.

  10. Completely correct. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. And with the genie being so out of the bottle, you may have at least some justification there. But if you lived in a place with far fewer guns you would have less fear of being attacked and needing to defend. Chances are though, that if someone comes for you they will anticipate that you may also be armed and take you down while they have the drop on you. It's hard to win an arms race. So to deal with that people do things like keeping a loaded gun handy while they sleep. Those are the ones the children have accidents with. And that road rager who thinks you cut him off? He won't give you a fair chance to draw in the main street. He'll shoot you from behind. Those are some of the reasons I'm glad we don't have such unrestricted access here. Although in parts of Canada your guns are leaking across the border and into the hands of gangs. We can own guns here, but acquisition involves quite a few hoops to jump through. More types are outlawed. And storage and handling rules are strict. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Only one more day..... Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. I do realize that. I believe that your country would be better off without the 2nd Amendment and with fewer guns. I also believe that it is never going to be repealed and that you will likely end up with more and more guns. And more and more killings. Killing is what guns are made for. I know yours are just for protection, or they are toys. But their only real function is killing. And that's what more and more of them will be used for. Like I said, the genie is out of the bottle. What is your opinion of the gains you get from your guns? What do they give you that makes them so important? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  16. I am suggesting they should not be bragging about a new product in such vague terms, with no details, and especially with no release date. A wingsuit specific AAD is a very challenging product to design. It will require many compromises, and if Airtec pulls it off it will be pretty impressive. But you are right. It's just marketing. I am not a wingsuiter, but even so I do hope that this product becomes real and successful quickly. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Quantify what is gained and what is lost. You say it as a fact that the gains are small and the costs are high. How did you come to this conclusion? What are the gains? What are the losses? What makes you right and so many others wrong? Derek V I'm not claiming to be "right". I could just as easily ask you what makes America's gun culture right and the rest of the world wrong. What is gained? The satisfaction of being able to have and carry powerful weapons, and all the warm feelings that gives you. To me, that is not worth much. What is lost? A firearm death rate at least 5 times that of the rest of the western world. Toddlers accidentally killing other children and angry men shooting other people in a moment of weakness and rage. Etc. Not worth it in my view. Americans get very emotional about their right to carry weapons. I only partly understand this. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. Then why are they bragging about it already? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. Yes, there are aspects of Islam that make it worse than other religions. It has built into it a belief in a goal of taking over the world. By force if necessary. And it teaches that killing is justified for apostasy. It's like a criminal gang in that aspect. You can't leave or we'll have to kill you. Most Muslims just ignore these aspects of the teachings. Like most Catholics ignore much of the doctrine preached by the Vatican. But it's always there. Waiting to be used and misused by those with evil on their minds.

  20. And that is where most of the western world would disagree. To me it would not be even close to worth the cost. So little is gained in your society by having such rights, and so much is lost. But I do agree that the majority of Americans feel this freedom is important. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. That is the mere tip of the iceberg. Thousands die of gun violence in America yearly. At a rate 5 times that in Canada. Because America has so many guns in the hands of so many people. Guns are tools, when you have only a hammer all your problems look like nails. When you have a gun, all you problems look like targets. Only a small percentage of people give into the temptation to shoot others in anger. But when you are dealing with millions, even a small percentage is thousands. What do you mean you refuse to accept it? Are you willing to work towards reducing the number of guns available? Probably you are not, if you are an average American. Do you thing a background check would have stopped this latest mass killing? I see no reason to think that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. No. The more guns there are the more people will be shot. The majority of Americans seem to be willing to have their society pay that price. Nothing can be done now, the Genie is out of the bottle. Background checks are a good idea, but will not solve the problem.

  23. I'm not sure why you would bring Trudeau into this. He has been PM for a few months. Rob's point seemed to be about the choices and opportunities Canadian society affords to young men that give them better options. A few will and have chosen bad options anyway. Options in Canada are largely limited only by men's willingness to work to their goals. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
