  1. I have found a potential new stream of customers. Pokemon Go players who want to chase and catch 'em all through the sky where they might be hiding. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. Because Republican candidates feel like they don't have a choice which Presidential candidate THEY support. It has to be Trump. (This is changing, but very slowly.) But his nomination process is over, theirs are not. They did have a choice, and they did not choose Trump. So why should Trump support them? If they become the party nominees then Trump will support them. They have not yet earned any nomination. Trump would rather have allies to work with than enemies. This is party politics 101.

  3. Educated or not, liberal or conservative. Can you give me one good reason to support Trump for POTUS? Is there one? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  4. I keep hearing about anger from the GOP leadership about Trump not supporting Ryan or McCain in their home primaries. I don't get it. Why should he not have a choice of which candidate he prefers? Both those men are openly hostile to him, so he is supporting candidates who support him. As long as he supports the eventual GOP nominee he is not stepping outside the lines. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. True, but in this sport we expect more. AADs are not mass produced consumer items updated every year. They are sold to a small and fanatically dedicated group of people who depend on them. Airtec can hold their secrets tightly if they want to, but it is not good for their reputation or their business. Thankfully they have competition, which is good for us all. Including Airtec.

  6. From where I sit, and what I can see, there is no good logical reason for anyone to think that Despicable Donald would make a good, or even a marginally acceptable POTUS. Yet he has had a significant number of supporters from the start, and he increased them for awhile. Even most of his supporters must know he is in no way qualified, so that leaves everyone else to speculate on the great question of the day........."What The Hell Are These People Thinking". It is my belief that most of them are not actually thinking at all. They just can't be. There are not that many stupid people in America. If they are not stupid something else is motivating them. And it is not something to be proud of, that's for sure. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. In England private schools are called "public". Some research tells me that a "grammer school" is a "State funded selective school". And that there are many options divided by many things, but chiefly cost and class with am element of ability thrown in. If anyone here who is not English cares.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_England Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. Not nearly as bad ass, but the Boeing 314 Pan Am Clipper has a passage in the wing for the flight engineer to crawl though to service and oil the engines. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. What I find humorous is that you make those kinds of statements like you actually know what you are talking about. Maybe you don't long for those things. But you do seem to be under the impression that those times were better. It's a very human thing to remember and long for "the good old days". But the objective truth is people are living better now. Except for maybe the health effects of lack of exercise. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. But your responses are all just rationalizations saying it can't work, it would take too long, and it doesn't matter. There is a bottom line here. There are too many people carrying too many guns in America. It is not hard or complicated. It takes political will. That's the only thing missing. For now. You only have to look beyond your borders. But you won't. You don't want to. You want to believe you can have your cake and eat it too. You are willfully blind to simple facts. Criminals only have guns because your country is full of them. No, there is not an instant solution, but there is a long term solution. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. Well then, there you go. The RNC would meet behind closed doors and when they finally got a majority behind one white man they would anoint him and send a puff of white smoke through the special chimney to announce it to the adoring masses.

  12. Maybe it was a picture book version. Were they passing out crayons too? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. The parties have no plan for succession? What if a candidate dies mid campaign? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. So, talk has sort of begun about Trump dropping out and being replaced. If this were to happen would Pence not become the nominee? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. And you consistently ignore the fact that we already know what works. The experience of every other first world country is that if you restrict guns you will have less gun violence. America stands alone in ignoring this lesson. The real solution is a change in your laws. But it is not politically possible at this time. There is no other solution. And there is no need for people to walk around armed. Proven all over the world. Even if you show that deaths are down this decade, they are still 5 times higher than the neighbor next door. They are even higher than your neighbor to the south, even with all their crime problems. But you close your eyes and call gun control advocates "nutjobs".

  16. So what did Jesus say that made him a piece of shit? Edited to scoundrel, but not in time. But to answer your question, he claimed to be the son of god. Making him a lying scoundrel. It's not hard to argue that anyone who claims to be the Messiah is a POS. But I'll back down from that as it is a meaningless insult and too vague. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Don't start with the question, get to know people a little first. Like I said earlier, the whole thrust of your thread is what other people need to change in their lives. What really matters is what you can do to change your life. This sounds like a good start. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. They were mostly potheads. And as you know potheads don't have the energy to commit much crime. Most of the simply grew up and re-integrated successfully. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. America is currently at the best it has ever been. Norman Rockwell only painted the good scenes. I'll never understand your darkness. And I'm glad of that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. No rip offs there. Except in the sense that all religions are about the same thing. Answering the unanswerable questions that being human and aware brings up. And supplying an organizing hierarchical force for leaders to dominate in. Manson, Jesus, Noah, Moses, Mohamed, Buddha, Smith, and all the many others. All lying scoundrels. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. Or you could make the sacrifice of giving up collecting killing machines and keeping them as toys. And carrying them around "because others are and I need to be ready to shoot back". If people have guns they will use them. Mostly in anger. Gun control advocates are not "nutbags". Most of them don't care even enough to vote on the issue. Those who love their guns are far more emotional about the issue. But most of them are not "nutbags" either. Gun control will not solve society's problems. It will just make it safer for everyone. When the police no longer need to assume that everyone they deal with is armed perhaps they will feel they have more time to think before they shoot. Suicides are by far the majority of gun deaths. And you are right, everyone just glosses over that fact. You may feel differently when someone you love has a bout of depression and also a convenient gun nearby. Maybe they will borrow yours to do the job. The right to die does not cover the type of suicide gun users suffer. And you know that. It's a completely different issue. I didn't know you had an opinion on that, but you seem hostile to the idea. Most people who are think God is against it. What is your objection? More "nutbag" talk and name calling? Having all the cool toys to play with is kind of nice, but not worth the price. I'm not a nutbag I'm just a little pissed at all illegal weapons being smuggled into my country from yours. And to judge from your comment you don't need to be a strong black family to resent immigrants. You seem to have enough resentment by yourself. The most impressive thing about gun lovers is their gutteral anger and fear about the possibility of any restrictions. This is the reason for the pejorative "gun nut". Many of them do get a little nuts about it. Happiness is a warm gun. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. They may be losing. But so is your country. Y'all do a pretty good job of ignoring the death toll, speaking of ignoring things. Just because the solution is difficult doesn't mean it's impossible. One day the tide will turn. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. I was completely against Ms. Clinton getting the nomination 8 yrs ago. However, I watched her performance as Sec of State and found that she will simply work her butt off for the people of this country. That observance led me to educate myself on her performance as a senator; and found that she was held in very high regard by her cohorts. Jerry Baumchen Especially those afraid of her power paybacks. And look at how deftly she handled the Benghazi debacle. And, do not overlook her skillful ability to offer BS to the surviving families of the four patriots lost. How about all the meaningful Senate bills she drafted that were passed? President HR Clinton is going to do a fine job. She will be about as effective as a Democrat working with a Republican Congress can be. She will work to move the country slightly to the left in most policies when she can. And you will spew vile hateful words at her here because that's all you can do about it. Sucks to be you. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  24. This is what is meant by "nanny state". Skydiving is an adult sport. Adults should be informed of the risks and then make their own decisions. There is no need of a "committee". Your working group would not be able to show a clear line at 55. or 50, or 60. Because there is not one. People are individuals, not averages.

  25. Anyone with a face like hers is bound to be an angry person. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
