  1. I once had a buddy explain it like this: Marriage is the most solemn oath you can give. You often make that oath in front of your family, your minister, your god, etc. and to your spouse. If you violate that oath, no lesser promise can be trusted. You are without honor. You have proven that you can't be trusted. If you will sell your integrity because you are horny, what would you do under real pressure? If you want someone else, fine. Give notice to your spouse, kids, family, etc. that you are rescinding your oath. Then, go for it. Holding onto the person who has stood by you; abusing that trust; abusing that relationship; makes you about as low as a human being can get. Staying in a relationship with such a person is foolhardy. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  2. That's just nuts. What next? Expect them to get jobs and care for themselves once they reach adulthood? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  3. I tried to make it work for the kids. Cheaters cheat. They just get better at hiding it. The best thing for the kids is to leave a broken relationship.

    Shrubbery!

    I think I was 'well groomed' long before it was a trend. Not sure. I don't discuss those things with people. I was surprised when I found out it was trendy. Laser removal isn't entirely permanent. It requires some maintenance after a few years. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  5. This whole discussion puts the cart before the horse. Can the existence of gays be scientifically proven? You can't answer that, can you? I can't prove the existence of this forum. If I tried to prove it to the average person, I'm not sure they would believe me. One of the key things I learned in Philosophy 100 is that you can't truly prove anything. We're all just operating on probabilities and beliefs. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  6. Blonde Wife texts husband on a cold winter’s morning: “Windows frozen, won’t open.” Husband texts back: “Gently pour some lukewarm water over it.” Wife texts back 5 minutes later: “Computer really screwed up now.” I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  7. I would have tried to guide you to Honda, but I can't say you made a bad choice. It's a sweet ride. Congratulations! I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  9. Actually, this is not new. Even the picture in the article is from four years ago. And to the American military dress code...from a Brit? The UK Army has 19 different levels of uniform dress with variations for each Regiment. It is a running joke with them that if two officers from the same Regiment accidentally show up in the same uniform, the junior officer has to go home and change.

  10. Actually, I've been a cop. I recall one particular gentleman who took several officers to restrain him after he smoked pot. For some reason, it activated stored pockets of meth he had used years before. My biggest complaint with drunks was that they might vomit in the patrol car and make it stink for a long time thereafter. Sometimes, they would pass out and the jail would refuse to accept them. Then, I had to sit with them at the ER until they were sober enough for the jail. Personally, I didn't mind people high on whatever drug...but I have a sense of humor. Not every cop did. Fewer seem to lately. I don't think you and I are actually in disagreement. I see no logical reason for government involvement in how people polute their bodies. I see that changing if people insist the government take responsibility for healthcare. But it should still be handled logically and consistently. If you want to ban recreational pharmaceuticals, fine. Ban them all. But that isn't going to happen, is it? Didn't go well before. Alcohol, caffeine, and others are too entrenched in culture. Why continue to practice a selective ban? To protect pharmaceutical company profits? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  11. From my foxhole, I can't tell a difference between the parties. They all seem about equally likely to accept money or sex where they shouldn't. Has anyone ever seen a study on this? I am willing to bet greed and lust have no political preference. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  12. Gibralter? Gibraltar : Self determination. Same with Puerto Rico. And Cuba is a long term lease agreement. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  13. I find it interestng that so much emotional energy and money is poured into what once happened in slavery in the US. Everyone who owned a slave or was a slave has long since died off, but it is still controlling so much of society and our laws. If only that kind of energy was being put into reducing the current slave trade... Just an observation. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  14. I can't recall ever listening to her or reading her opinions on anything. But I do note that your assessment of her attacks her sexuality in the first line and ends by calling her a 'skank' which I associate again with sexuality. I'm hard pressed to find any value added to your argument when you launch personal attacks like that. If your argument is that pot and alcohol are not significantly different and should not be treated different under the law, I agree with you. But you sound more like someone who couldn't get a woman to have sex wtih him and throws insults at her in revenge. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  15. I think we're talking about the sun burning out, but I'm not sure. In the words of the philosopher R.E.M, "It's the end of the world as we know it."

  16. If you're going to reload rifle for accuracy, I would just get a simple 'C' press - single die in the top at a time kinda thing. Progressive presses are great for pistol plinking, but I try to be real consistent with rifle - harder to do with a bunch of stuff going' on at the same time. Going to disagree with you on that. The 550 is a top-end press. Dillon did a few "articles" about how it can be used to create very, very consistent ammo. And consistency is the key to accuracy. One problem with using a single stage press is that you have to change out the dies for each step. It's hard to get them back to exactly where they belong. Dillon uses a removable toolhead that allows the dies to be left in place. The most important thing is case prep. So you clean, size, trim, turn necks inside and out (if you go that far) and all the other stuff before - I use a single stage for that part. Then you take the fully prepped cases and run them through the progressive. As long as the powder is one that will meter well (not all do) then all is cool. If the powder charges need to be weighed out individually, then you slow down a smidge. Like I said - if you're reloading 'plinking' ammo a progressive is great...but for match, I will make a run of say 300 rounds. Each step exactly the same...trimmer, primer pocket deburred & flash hole sized, I measure case wall thickness - on & on for consistency I have a couple different powder dispenser.... one is adjustable with a set screw, another uses those different sized collars...but - I weigh each & every load, so it's actually easier to use whatever Lee 'powder scoop' is close (but under what I want) and use the powder trickler thingie to bring it dead on. Home-made bullet boards hold 75 rds, so I'll charge 75 - then set the bullet in those....charge 75 more... Crimp the entire batch at the end. ~ like we were saying, LOTS of variables...the more of those you can 'standardize' so to speak the better you shoot... 1000 yards with iron sights is no time to be wondering if it's the variances in the ammo, the sights or the hangover causing all the flyers. I will not say that a progressive loader can't do it. I will say that I can't do it with a progressive loader. I load up different loads to find the right one. I load five of each variation. Variations include type of powder, amount of powder in increments above and belower the book recommendation, different bullets, and bullets seated at different depths. I can't imagine trying to track all of those changes on a progressive. One at a time helps me keep track. Once you find the right load for a rifle, you might could crank them out on a high quality progressive. Someone mentioned pushing the bullet out to touch the lands. Intuitively, this makes sense. Oddly, though, some rifles like a small gap between the bullet and the lands. It has something to do with barrel harmonics that is way above my level of understanding. I just know that it sometimes works to leave a gap there. That's why bullet seating depth is one of my variables. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  17. Yeah I got that a couple times from you and I am sorry if I ever offended you. Heated conversations at Dizzy can and are often misconstrued. I'm lost. Have I managed to offend you on the forum as well? I really do not insult anyone intentionally. Never have. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  18. I'm available for adoption...depending on the makes and models available. Send me a list and we'll talk. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  19. But...I like Diet Coke. Is it ok? Hey, does this guy get two paychecks? He's acting as the Mayor and the Village Idiot. Seems he should get paid for pulling double duty. I don't know why he's described as right wing or racist, but I'm sure there's something out there that explains it. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  20. Apparently, it only has about five rings. ( I tried cutting it open to see, but...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_of_the_Earth So, I'm going with 5 years old.

  21. There are so many other variables to account for before you worry about something that essoteric. If you look it up, I'm sure you will find a hotly debated topic. But useless to most people. I've shot precision for years. I've done some long range work. For the most part, any match grade hardware wtih match grade ammo can out-shoot me. So, I don't worry about what it could theoretically do. In real life, I will never know how good the rifle and ammo are. Sorry I didn't really answer your question. The prior poster hit the high points. "It depends" is often the correct answer. After that, you can get lots of conflicting opinions.

  22. So there is no confusion... My post was merely meant to amuse. There was no intent to insult Krip. I do not intentionally insult people. I do, however, sometimes forget others can be offended by my humor. I apologize to Krip. David I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  23. Interesting. I don't think of them as European. I've mentioned that to several Brits I work with and they agree. The PM likes to throw out the idea of a split from time to time...just for fun.

  24. Years ago, there was a story on the news about a gay trapeeze artist with Cirque du Soleil at Beau Rivage. He had HIV and was fired. They were concered about an accident involving blood and others being exposed. They showed this gorgeous mediterranean god with a trapeeze artist body, no shirt, spandex pants, perfect black wavy hair, chiseled jaw, dark skin...he was a striking looking guy. I recall thinking how glad i was that he was gay. Because there was no way I could ever compete with someone who looked like him. I have a different reaction to attractive gay women. I know we aren't really after the same women, but I still ike to dream. Yet, I still can't compete. God must hate heteros. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  25. On a related note...the Brits are rather eccentric and have some hobbies you would rather not know about...and a slight squirrel fetish.
