  1. You never know. Both my kids have blond hair and blue eyes. My ex-wife and I don't have blond hair or blue eyes. Our parents don't have blong hair or blue eyes. Our grand parents (maternal or paternal) don't have blond hair or blue eyes.
  2. If there's any blood lust here, it appears to be from right wingers hoping for some dead BLM agents. Who do you think they are? Branch Dividians? No.. Just typical Tea Baggers hoping and praying for a confrontation to "Refresh the tree of Freedom" with some American blood. As opposed to over zealous government thugs. Yeah but you cheer on those over zealous thugs when they deport brown people.
  3. No, but the parent's estate may be. Not sure how that relates to the current thread, but if you have debts when you die, and money in your estate, the estate has to pay those debts before distributing funds to survivors. Right, so if the parents owe the IRS money, the IRS should have a lien in on that estate, to get their money from what's available at the time they pass away. They shouldn't be able to come in much later, after the estate has already been settled, and say that the beneficiaries of that estate now owe the money. That isn't right. If the IRS wants their refund, they should be diligent about asking for it in a reasonable period of time. I wonder if this type of seizure is a new part of the ever changing health care debockle. The IRS is the entity enforcing healthcare penalties now, after all. Yes the IRS is specifically going after republicans to get money to fund Preventive Health Care like abortions.
  4. If she wasn't such a freeloading lazy bitch and gotten a job, this wouldn't have been an issue to begin with. Fucking communists, always wanting shit for free.
  5. And to think that government policy made it so that hospitals had to treat without regard to ability to pay. (EMTALA). I find it odd that government seeks to solve a problem by creating a bigger one and then people look to the government to fix that problem. It's a masterful step by the government to create an unfunded mandate and let the country know that any ER is good for treatment. Then point to what a big problem it is that there are all these people who aren't paying for healthcare. Government soluton to a problem: solve it by creating a bigger one, thereby creating need for more government involvement. Exactly!!! Would be so much better if doctors didn't have to treat patients. Can't afford it, fuck em.
  6. Right and the confrontations are stemming from the ranchers trying to stop BLM from removing the cattle. So, you then either enforce the court ruling. Or, as you seem to be advocating, do nothing.
  7. What happens when a homeowner doesn't pay his property taxes? Do we surround his home with armed police and threaten him with violence? No, we just put a lien on his home, and at some point in the future when the home is sold, the back taxes due are taken from the proceeds of the sale. Ah, but that just doesn't make you feel good about enforcing the law against "thugs", does it? Bring on the snipers! But that is not quite what is happening. he is "squatting" on land that doesn't belong to him. He has been asked to pay for the use, and he isn't doing that, but remains on the land that doesn't belong to him. At some point, his belongings have to be removed from the l;and that doesn't belong to him and he is not willing to pay to occupy. If somebody started using and occupying land that belonged to you. Would you just wait till he died and hope you got something out if the estate? (Never mind that doing nothing might be seen as consent and would possibly jeapordize future legal proceedings) IMO the BLM is the squaters The fed gov has taken control of millions of acres of land They do not have the authority to do this But they have Then take them to court. In the mean time two court rulings have gone against the rancher.
  8. Canadians aren't a recognized animal...turtles are. I thought you were smart enough to understand the difference between human and animal. Sorry for giving you that much credit. I keep thinking you have some level of education.
  9. I didn't realize the ACA came with a cure for SB. Bravo!It's remarkable that the concept that prevention is less expensive than treating a life-long incurable condition is too much for some people to understand. Don Abortion is much cheaper than that. Lets require abortions.If you say so. We'll start with the turtles. Also let's not forget the cost savings that euthanasia could bring. A bit of CO2 gas is surely a lot cheaper than a lifetime supply of surgical glue to hold a cracked shell together, never mind the turtle wax to buff out the dings and scrapes. Don Incorrect. The liberals would be all over you for animal cruelty. Not really, some animals are too annoying to let live. Most liberals have no problem with killing a cockroach or two.
  10. Isn't that what you call a court of law? So what do you do after two of those have ruled. Just do nothing? So there should be no police force? Plus if the citizens have a constitutional right to be armed, why wouldn't those who have to enforce rules be?

  12. You mean like tact and diplomacy? What are you, a Liberal?
  13. Fair enough. I would have hoped for a solution where these contributions would be severaly limited. In all forms. Your upset that (according to you) only one side can buy elections. I am upset elections can be bought at all.
  14. Don't wear a gold chain while giving an interview about high crime rates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EIN6R9NQKU
  15. So your contention is that Unions have been buying elections, therefor the solution is that other parties should be allowed to buy elections?
  16. They just found a new particle they can't explain with current scientific theories. Clearly science is wrong about everything. Idiots couldn't even predict this particle, nor explain it when they found it.
  17. Is there any semblance of punishment fits the crime here? No doubt they knew they were trespassing but a burglary felony and possible 7 yr prison sentence? And look at the resources that were thrown at this? Love my country but this is EXACTLY the type of overstepping police state Nazi-ish behavior that we see more and more of everyday. Trespassers? No doubt. Burglary Felony? No Way! The way that law is written, ANYONE that were to trespass on any property could be charged. How convenient...... Except gaining entry to a closed building is not trespassing.
  18. If it wasn't for the fact that people were injured (one who was critically injured) what you wrote here would be comical with a heavy dose of hypocrisy. You really should not be throwing all those stones from your glass house. Multiple stabbings at Toronto office leave 1 critical - April 9th, 2014 Why is it hypocrisy? Health care and mental health care could be improved in Canada as well. Toronto is safer than any of the cities of similar size in the US though.
  19. I am not attacking Heartland. They are doing what they are supposed to be doing. What they are getting paid to do. I don't believe that being unbiased is part of their job description. Hence, it is hard to believe their report is unbiased. I wouldn't argue the health effects of smoking with a doctor paid by tobacco, because it would be utterly pointless. So why would I argue a report from Heartland?
  20. the point is that it never matters who the denier group is They get the same treatment all the time so I pay little attention to those who attack the group and ignore the issue It is fine the gov give billions to so called green compaines that go belly up but let us not talk bad about AWG Fact of life but fun to point this out and see the results The predictable results They get the same treatment because they give the same results. They get the same treatment as doctors funded by big tobacco.
  21. So you don't think that the USPA should have an Airport Access Defense fund? What does that have to do with breaking the law? If there's a need for AAD funds, then some DZ is being shut down for some kind of legal reason - i.e. "breaking the law" in the eyes of some government entity. And if BASE jumpers want to start a fund to advocate for legal access to BASE sites, I would consider donating to that. This is not the same though. Defending them does nothing towards legalizing access to BASE sites.
  22. some of those results are about Heartland attacking
  23. Never mind that one of the key authors was a director for Peabody Energy and another one thinks second hand smoke has no adverse health effects.
  24. I would rather donate to the funeral fund of the 5 year old boy in my town that was mauled by a pit bull than give anything to those three base jumpers. They knew what they were doing. Fuck em. ETA: I will add however, that I think felony charges are a bit heavy-handed. This looks more like a misdemeanor crime. You honestly think they committed something that should be labeled as a crime? They jumped off of a building wearing BASE rigs and landed on the streets. Considering they did it at night, when the building would be closed to the general public, they commited a crime gaining entry. They did it to a building with a very sensitive background. Most people with an IQ above 10 can figure out that if caught, they would have the book thrown at them They were stupid enough to film themselves doing it. They were aware that they were committing a crime when they did it. Yes, I honestly think that gaining entry to a closed building should be considered a crime.
  25. I would believe the latter to be the truth as well. So that is basically the same as auto insurance then. Future costs related to a "pre-existing" condition are covered. If I am known to have a problem with speeding, evidenced by speeding tickets (or falling within the paramaters of a group known for speeding) my premiums go up, but I would still be covered for the costs associated with an accident, even if it was the result of speeding.
