    I suspect you are about as prepared as those clowns in Malheur. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Interesting stuff. Was listening to the TWIG podcast the other day and apparently the safety record of these things is already better than regular cars, and only going to get better. I'll miss my motorbike, but I expect they will become the predominant form of transport in my lifetime. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    www.yourvotematters.us I am distributing those flyers in my area. In GA, 11 Oct 2016 is the registration deadline. The figures may or may not be true - but have you spotted the logical flaw yet?? Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Yeah but its nonsense - the earth is only 6000 years old and Jesus rode in on a mammoth. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    That's generally just an excuse for not releasing damning footage. Seems you bought it. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Cue some absolutely classic creative swearing from a few scots on twitter. i particularly liked: "Tiny fingered, cheeto faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon" Never try to eat more than you can lift

    The referendum is theoretically not binding, so there is still some potential to reshape things. The next few months will be very interesting. Personally i think Boris has stuck his head above the parapet and seen the incoming missile, and is now trying to work out how to save the day. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    This is where I really struggle to understand - mention one tiny measure that might be related to the second amendment and the whole of the US goes nuts. Wholesale rape of the fourth and no-one seems to care. The FISA court is basically a guy with a big rubber stamp who just approves whatever comes across the desk. I suspect the continual furore over the second is part of the governments way to manage the people so that they can make the changes that really affect you without too much trouble, while all the rednecks are distracted worshipping at the shrine of Charlton Heston.

    So they're not actually stopping anyone from doing something (freedom of speech, freedom of the press), just monitoring and recording their activities. Don't really agree with what they do, but unreasonable does give them some wiggle room unfortunately. Were the FISA court to be given the right to suspend a "suspicious" persons right to bear arms either through seizure or prevention of purchase, not only would it be giving them active powers to impact citizens, it'd be giving them the power to basically remove rights at will without due process. If they could bypass "shall not be infringed" the other constitutional rights wouldn't have a chance. Not sure I'm clear. Do you not believe the 4th to be a right?

    It highlights the FUD that the agencies are putting out around infringing on privacy in the name of combating terrorism. There are some truly horrible pieces of legislation in the works at the moment. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Well to be fair - probably a better comparison is the number of shootings on the same day and there were ONLY 42 other shootings on the same day as the orlando one. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    http://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/myths-of-terrorism/ In short, it documents what it believes are a few myths around terrorism namely: Myth # 1: Terrorists are pure evil. Myth # 2: Terrorists are organized. Myth # 3: Terrorists are diabolical geniuses. Myth # 4: Terrorists are poor and uneducated. Myth # 5: Terrorism is a deadly problem. Myth # 6: Terrorists will obtain and use a nuclear weapon or a dirty bomb. Myth # 7: Terrorism works. Interesting - thoughts? Never try to eat more than you can lift

    FALSE. That hasn't been true since 2014. And since 2014 the homicide rate in Chicago has gone UP. Please explain. As an aside: "Labour MP Jo Cox in critical condition after being shot and stabbed " https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/16/labour-mp-jo-cox-shot-in-west-yorkshire One person getting shot in the UK is still news.

    That's fine, as long as you understand that by having a GUN you have made your family much LESS safe. I don't have a problem with that. You might not like the statistics but that's your problem. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Mostly penis size, because there is no other valid explanation. 'fighting the corrupt government' is pretty lame, no one has done that since the Civil War, nor has there been a threat that rises to that level. Pretty sure thats what those clowns in Malheur thought they were doing. Didn't work out so well for them. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Faith is a " Thought Experiment". As with science when the means of proving a fact is lacking, thought experiments helps to bridge the gap. There are many scientific phenomenon that were first conceived by thought experiments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment Since there is no way of disproving God, atheism and agnosticism are also thought experiments. As one who has found faith in God through such a process, the psycho-spiritual rewards I have gained are my most valued possessions. ... "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours" Stephen Roberts That's good . Don't think I had seen that one before - thanks. Never try to eat more than you can lift
