  1. Yep correct, there are people out there who have the training, have combat experience, and know what they are doing, as well as understanding the limitations of their training and their weapons. A bunch of hicks in the Georgia hills playing at being survivalists? Not so much. Everyone thinks they are better trained than average yet still we get the firearms instructors who have ND's, and the "Responsible Gun Owners" who get shot by their own children/pets.

  2. Sure you are. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  3. Shame about all the other people who'd get shot with all the misses. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  4. Kind of like you having already convicted Hillary. She have convicted herself more than once...... Is that spelling or grammar? Yes. Never try to eat more than you can lift

  6. Personally, I think this is part of what's wrong with our financial system now. I think that's what's wrong with our entire system, not just financial. The idea that putting money in is the only way to invest a company. The guy that actually works there and directly contributes to the success of the company every single day? Fuck that guy, we need to figure out how little we can pay him while still keeping him productive. He doesn't deserve any more than that - the real money must go to the shareholders! GOOD CEO's however don't think like that. Shareholder value is about more than just giving available money to the shareholders. They are generally playing a longer game than that.

  7. No dude, that's the problem with your posts, not the solution. I a very sure I can not get down to the level you would understand Sorry RushMc: living proof that monkeys mashing keyboards will never produce the works of Shakespeare... There's a saying about wrestling with a pig that applies here. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  8. Apparently, you have not listened to or read Mr. Cruz's testimony. So many reasons why that is hilarious. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  9. In real terms, I don't think it matters. Those that need strong encryption (terrorists etc) have been able to do it for a long time. The three letter organisations can't get to their stuff anyway. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  10. Sure it does. Once it was known there was a third party who could help, then all the air got sucked out of their primary argument. If they had continued, they would have lost; badly. That might have also set a precedent they didn't want. By dropping the case, they leave open the possibility of trying again later down the line. They did also get their asses handed to them by Issa on this one because they f'd up and messed with the phone early in the investigation which locked them out of it. I think they figured things were going against them this time so they are just keeping their powder dry for a case where the court of public opinion is firmly on their side.

  11. Well, it's official. A stun gun is a gun, so if they ban all other firearms, it does not violate your second amendment rights. Not sure I fully understand what you are trying to say here. Are you suggesting SCOTUS unanimously decided so that when guns are banned stun-guns are banned as well? Nah - I think what you are seeing is the world's most idiotic straw man.

  12. I get your point but: That's funny Never try to eat more than you can lift
  13. I can think of someone in the skydiving world who has been sucker punched repeatedly, for cause, with zero sympathy. Think of the woman who was freaking out in "Airplane!" Sounds like an entertaining story - tell more? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  14. You know I have just come back in here, but I have a feeling you have posted this sort of thing numerous times. And I bet on every occasion, it has fallen on deaf ears. No, not even deaf ears. Ears that have been cut off, and canals that have been filled with cement. FWIW - I think a couple of the people you are referring to genuinely aren't smart enough to understand their own arguments, let alone anyone else's. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  15. Oh and just for reference racism/ misogyny or any other form of bigotry ≠ "disdain for political correctness" Never try to eat more than you can lift
  16. Don't worry, you rarely post anything even terribly relevant to modern society. (with the exception of some of your experiences with substance abuse that I find interesting) Ah - but just for shits and giggles, you are challenging whether you have done anything against YOUR very narrow definition of Christianity? I know some methodists, whats wrong with them? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  17. Is that wall watertight? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  18. Yes, when I see a rich thug rewarding a common thug for an unprovoked attack on a man in custody, I also don't like seeing what’s happening to the country. It gets even worse when you consider the candidate that will likely be nominated to oppose him. Actually, no it doesn't. She's still infinitely better than he is. That's the sad thing, if the GOP had put up someone even half way credible, they could well have been a shoo-in this time round. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  19. I like it Never try to eat more than you can lift
  20. Why? So? Source? Nah. Europe's fine. Seriously. I thought you wanted the collapse of the government as we know it? That would be nice. I think you're just jealous that the experiment is finally bringing results for people who aren't like you. Perfect Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Sorry about your finance, but that's a terrible analogy. People like Stumpy would say that it's silly or foolish to pursue the idea of God - that it's inane - that perhaps people who do are of a lesser intelligence, but from the analogy we see that the only foolish thing would be to disregard an idea altogether merely because others disagree. You are projecting - I made no qualitative judgement at all. If you need something to believe in that's fine by me. All these thousands of gods have been invented usually to explain something that people don't understand - the sun rising, natural disasters, what happens "after", and most of them get forgotten by subsequent generations as the world is better understood, people become more educated etc. Just look at creationism - it's todays flat earth yet some people cling stubbornly to it. What bothers me, is when people try and influence governments and other people's lives, based on a book that is at best an analagous representation of life teaching certain lessons to a subset of people who feel they need it, for whatever emotional or spiritual reason.

    Same as God, what a coincidence! So practically every civilization in the history of humanity has developed a concept of some type of mysterious God just for the hell of it, what a coincidence! Not for the hell of it - for those people who need the crutch to have something to believe in. Never try to eat more than you can lift
