  1. Somehow this will be seen as a negative to some people. As America becomes less dependent on other countries for oil isn't that a good thing? I know fracking is a dirty word to some people....but even here....at dz.com has the left really agreed that it's not good? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  2. Hey Buddy....stop beating your head against the wall. The EC was in place the entire time Obama was in power...would have been a great idea to change it then. Of course if Hillary had won the EC but not the popular vote...... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  3. Damn listen to you "Your a fool" your hatred of Trump is really showing. What could be wrong with America and Russia having a better relationship? I know that Chamberland brain fucked your country with Hitler but lighten up man. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  4. "As Trump leaves press behind for steak dinner, incoming Admin already showing lack of Transparency" Seriously this is the title of the article. Basically Trump and family DIDNT inform the press where they were going. I kind of like that Trump is willing to give them the finger a bit. The press was so in the tank fir Hillary. A honest and non-partisan press is so important to our country but I fear we have lost that. Trumps going to be different - he isn't a politician. I get the feeling that the establishment press is going to cover him as negatively as possible. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  5. Bill you have got to be kidding. Actually I know you are...you have to be. You way to smart to believe that HRC went "high" Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  6. The thing I find interesting is that many on this forum very recently where gloating that the Republican were basically done for. But the results sure don't seem so. Now we have the same group basically saying.... "Well AFTER Trump ya'll have had it" Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  7. If this is the worse mistake you made in your life.... Get over it. If you can't close your eyes and at least HOPE that the person your country elected does a good job - hope and change. You need to get over that to. Trump wasn't my pick but he is our president elect Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  8. It's just is arrogant attitude that just got Trump elected..... Good god. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  9. Has Wikileaks been a positive point in this election cycle or a negative? The current bias of the media is so apparent it has made me wonder. Wikileaks "steals" information - a journalist has a unnamed (and protected) source. The country seems to be divided into two camps. Trump or Hillary no matter what they have done or said ...... But the traditional media didn't bring use half the information that Wikileaks has. I UNDERSTAND that if you are a Hillary supporter you see it as unfair - and well it may be. But without Wikileaks we would be less informed. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  10. LOL, Bill I'd be careful with these kind of comments. I realize that you are a lot lot John...stir the pot.....and it's great to support your women.... But I'd be surprised if they didn't have something now. I personally don't believe it was done to just drive her numbers down. I don't think they will drop enough to get Trump elected. (thats fine with me) To me this is all about AFTER the election and CYA Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  11. John Kallend is devoted to two things.... Stirring the pot (he is the master) and skydiving. Well maybe three .... he seems to like his wife. I think he stirs for the Dem's as he gets mote bites that way - although if Trump offered him enough money he could switch and effect maybe 6 votes on dorkzone.com. See you Friday Professor.

  12. Vote Gary Johnson.....he'll lose but you won't have the god awful taste in your mouth the next morning. If you can passionately defend either one of the other two....well it takes all kinds. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  13. I think the reason its "upsetting" cause your being shown a video where the LEO DIDN'T just shoot the guy when he had a gun. They gave him warnings...someone earlier said if he 'flinches" then you shoot. I'm damn sure these guys were as ready to go as anyone could be and TWO still got shot. You question "How does risk change" the answer is that after many attempts to get the guy to drop the weapon and he doesn't he's HAD his chance....why keep giving him the chance to kill you? Besides if cops ALWAYS shoot someone with a gun...who wasn't balsting away....can you believe the way people would react? Hence this thread.

  14. Given the number of people that have guns.... I don't think it's such a "small majority" then add the people who may not have a gun but really don't have a problem with gun ownership and there's a LOT of them ....and I say that's a lot of people. I'd guess the press which gins the issue up and a small minority of very vocal anti- gun people are the other side. Truthfully more of the people who support guns and are against guns will die of heart disease than being shot - A LOT MORE - yet where's the passion?

  15. That's all sweet Bill but frankly how many on and on and on threads have you posted in about gun control but yet the passion for mental health resources seems to get lost? Frankly America has gotten to be so divided by politics that we can't see five feet in front of us. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  16. Someone mention the number of suicides each year (20k?). I bet we all agree that's a number we'd like to see come down - but one side just thinks gun control will fix it, the other thinks it doesn't matter. How about we fund mental health services in this country? For most of the posters here - it's "my way or the high way" really just the same old tired shit. I especially love the Canadians and the folks from England blathering about their countries. Let me say they are great countries, really I mean that. But they aren't America. We aren't perfect and we can learn....but a hand full of people on the anti gun side here seem to think that "if we were just like them we would be fine" America is different, we desire a lot more separation from our government than many countries - and that's changing and one day it may just enough to really have different (i.e. more Canadian) rules about guns - a significant part of the population seems to want it - BUT no where near a majority. I understand that people from other courtiers are just as happy as they can be with their laws. Good for them. It doesn't make it right for here.

  17. Wow I didn't know this (true?) Everytime you talk to a our Canadian brothers who are anti gun you'd think they were the top of the heap when it comes to this. Interesting. I don't have a problem with gun laws, we have plenty of them. Enforcing them might be a good idea. Nut cases on both sides drive me nuts.

  18. I guess this has died out totally? I sure enjoyed listening to her rants. :P Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  19. So if his is proven to be true....does it change anything? I mean, he beat his wife and kids, he carried a gun illegally, used drugs.... He had lots of other legal issues....again - if TRUE. Did the police know any of this? Would it be different if they did? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  20. Nice how you dismiss that in both cases the people chose to ignore commands give by the officer. Is that always a reason to get shot - No. But in the case of the fellow with the gun....it sure drives the odds up. Have you not noticed that in the disabled car - the officer has been charged? Does that make it right? Hell no. Btw buddy....I respect you and your thoughts and like to hear them. Nope we won't always agree. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  21. Not really.....short of it showing him come out and call the LEO MF and point the gun at them and pop off a few rounds.... it wouldn't good enough to satisfy some people. The family has already come out with "he was backing up" Like a man with a gun can't kill you backing up. The NEXT big point will be "But he wasn't pointing the gun" And of course "The police planted the gun." There are shootings that I believe are 100% wrong, but it's these gray ones (for me) that define people's positions. If you are given a lawful order to drop your gun and you don't the LEO don't have an obligation to WAIT for you to get the first shot off. I understand that these of you that watch lot's of movies can't understand that fact. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  22. What a silly comment from a reasonably intelligent man.... Do you REALLY think the police didn't have a "history" of shooting people when MLK was demonstrating how to peacefully protest? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  23. I'd think that the above is a good indication of the way it should be done. But of course we as society don't want to pay it. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  24. My brother is a detective.....he makes less that 45k a year with over 20 years service. FWIW I realize in some big city's the pay is better but over all the pay for local small departments isn't high at all. As far as you local police brutality....I'm sorry Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  25. That's whats driving me nuts. We don't (as a society) seem to want to pay our LEO much.... It seems to work better in England and Germany but it's a lot harder to become a LEO over there and it pays better. The police carry lethal force, and an authority to use it, pretty much all the time. With this goes greater responsibility, not just greater authority. *** Yep, I agree 100% To me at the very minimum EVERY officer that carries a weapon should have a be required to have on a body video - but "we the people" have to pay for it. It needs to be turned on at start of watch and turn off only at the end. It should be basically tamper proof. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
