  1. It's so sad that Levon died still angry at Robbie. An outfit with an audacious name, that they somehow managed to live up to. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. Thread parted in the weave is of no consequence at all. PD has determined that with their Optimum reserve fabric. Sorry, that was kind of a euphemism. I know, I just couldn't resist. I've found that some ripstop sticks to some ZP, but not always. It seems to work better on older more well used ZP. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  4. Get an audible with only three alarms. Set all three for the break off altitude. Or find an original Dytter. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. So it has never happened? How naive. I'm not saying that it happens a lot, or even in a way that it makes a difference. But it still happens. How is that any excuse for deliberately suppressing voters? The right wingers have proven over and over again that they will do anything they legally can get away with to discourage classes of people likely to vote against them. The scam they run must be resisted. The right wing in Canada was inspired to try the same sort of shit, but on a smaller scale. Luckily they have recently been defeated and their repressive rules reversed. In the US you will have to wait for the courts to declare what is obvious to all who are paying attention.

  7. Girls can soldier too. Get over it. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. Well, taxation is already being used to discourage smoking and drinking. Especially here in Canada. And of course drugs as well. But I see all that as social policy, not health policy. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. My biggest concern with socialized medicine is very different, and based on what really happens. Namely, that when the government pays then they must somehow finance it. Which means taxes. People resist taxes. They would rather pay insurance than taxes, even if the taxes are less. It just feels better. So what ends up happening is that the health care system gets squeezed and is always short of cash to do the huge job. I know. It's the opposite of what people think will happen.They think the system will just keep spending more and more. Well, it would if it could, but the health care system can't directly tax anyone. And the politicians want to be re-elected, so believe it or not the system starves. So far I have seen no sign of the government enforcing healthy living habits on anyone.

  10. Please point to a single instance of BLM calling for dead cops. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. The best part? It was the Fifth Circuit Court that made the ruling. The most conservative appeals court in your nation. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. Somewhat "alarming", from Time Magazine, a bastion of liberal alamism. http://time.com/4411768/heat-dome-heat-wave-summer-weather/?xid=homepage Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. But lots of our players did. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jul/07/us-june-hottest-temperature-record-climate-disasters Farse my arse. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. I did my best, man, and you shut it down. So be it. Rather than ask for an open and frank discussion about what is wrong with a group of people you know little about, and have great disregard for, you should consider an open and frank discussion about your own shortcomings and those of your own group. Only then will you be taken seriously. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    I'm listening to it in the truck this evening. Driving through OH on the turnpike. All I can think of is it's all about fear, loathing, and resentment. Don't these people have anything good to say? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Despite his reputation as a speech giver I have never found him to be a compelling speaker. Not even close to likes of say Pres. Reagan. He sounds too much like a lecturer or someone trying to convince a room full of skeptics. Natural speakers usually sound more like preachers. I find his style awkward at best. But if you listen to the words it is clear to me that his goal is to unite, not divide. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. Yes, I guess converts are people who were looking for something. And were convinced by someone they trusted for whatever reason. The bad parts just didn't get talked about. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. I don't know what is wrong with you this morning. But you can not possibly justify what you are implying with that. Because it is very clearly untrue. You don't really believe that BHO wants to racially divide the nation do you? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. Cars are not tools of war. They were not invented as killing machines. They serve a useful purpose. Unlike useless drivel. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. It's pretty much at the bottom of my list as well. And I don't even like the ones at the top very much. I understand most Muslims are born into it and taught it young. What really blows my mind is converts. Why would anyone convert to a religion that demands death to apostates? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  22. His agenda? You mean his agenda to reduce racial tensions and bring people together? You have a problem with that? Haters.... Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. Suddenly I'm very busy, the DZ is open today and tomorrow and I leave Sunday AM for PA with a load of frozen fries. It will be hard to fully engage for awhile, but I'll be thinking of you. I'll be thinking of what restrictions I would try if I were in charge. I agree, it's a sticky problem. I can't see the educational plan solving the problem of impulsive violence. I'm intrigued that you believe the younger generation is less prone to criminal behavior. I also think that there is generational progress being made in nearly all areas. I believe today's kids are well above the ones I grew up with. But I thought I was the only old fogey who believes in that. Most people just complain about "kids these days".

  24. Me. Read the Koran. 1.3 billion. Getting a little nasty in here. I understand the anger, but it's not going to help. Religions don't kill people....people kill people? I agree, the Koran teaches some evil things. Those 1.3 billion still somehow find a way to focus on the good parts and not the evil parts. Mostly.

  25. Who can even begin to answer why? Right now, besides the grief of the victims, I want to know how many people were involved in planning and doing this thing. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
