That's a good distinction. I assume you meant to include the distinction of long guns vs pistols. Good luck trying to ban gas action pistols. - Dan G

Yeah, that commie Obama was so weak on the Russia. Oh wait... - Dan G

Of course everyone is going to completely change their bodies and legal status just to have a slight competitive advantage over people they weren't competing against in the first place. Haven't you heard of the rash of elite athletes undergoing elective amputations just so they can kick ass at the Paralympics? - Dan G

I know we are not “allowed” to debate in this thread, but I see Trump’s attacks on the media as extremely dangerous. He attacks respected outlets for reporting negative facts. That’s some tin hat dictator shit. - Dan G

Do you feel Trump's attacks on the media are one of the reasons you support him? - Dan G

lets be honest, he didn't have "kafir" tatooed in his native tongue, English. It was in Arabic. That's not a fuck you to all religions, it's a fuck you to Islam. The Christian analogy would be a tatoo of the cross with a big red X over it, or something similar. Combine that with hanging around the Christian skydivers, giving dirty looks and I could see someone saying something to management. Especially if the Christians were having their boogie in Dubai and the tatooed guy was a local. They would rightly feel threatened and might express that to the DZO. - Dan G

Yes, but a good 40% of the country will refuse to open their eyes. - Dan G

I would like to see a refernce for that. I did a search nothing came up. Seems really unlikely that West Virginia Muslims would be offended by a swoosh. - Dan G

Skydiving, including swooping, where gender shouldn't matter. IMO the only reason we still have women's records and women's categories is to promote women's involvement in the sport. While an admirable goal, I don't think that distinction should be made at the pro level. - Dan G

He prefers the term ego-linear thinking. - Dan G

Obviously He was never a True Republican (tm). He was a Deep State plant, put in place by Benghazi due to the Clinton Foundation Wassermans and their birth certificate. - Dan G

I understand, after taking the test and looking at their answers, that they were intentionally making it confusing by using common terms. It would have been fairer, and a better lesson, if they had stated that up front. - Dan G

Is he a Republican? If so, those are all unconstitutional "process" laws he broke as part of a deep state sting operation to make America gay. - Dan G

That test, while interesting, is very misleading. It uses common terms like "dogs", "mammals", etc. and you are supposed to ignore that you know mammals are animals. The A, B, C portion was more fair. - Dan G

I watched The Blob last weekend, the original 1958 with Steve McQueen. If you don't remember, they defeat the blob by freezing it and flying it up to the arctic. Someone remarks that all is well with the plan. The very last line in the movie is McQueen saying, "As long as the arctic stays cold." Just thought that was funny. - Dan G

What? No, no, no. The best people have nothing to do with Russia. They have never even heard of Russia. Can't even find Russia on a map. Heck, the best people think that the very existence of Russia is fake news. - Dan G

Flores says children can't be detained with adults. It doesn't say that everyone crossing the border must be detained. That's what Trump changed. He's using Flores as an excuse to make detention as painful for these people as possible. It may not be illegal, but it is certainly immoral. And no, Obama didn't do that. - Dan G

Well, yes and no. I work for a defense contractor. We have FOUO and PII on our company servers. Not really a "public" domain in the sense that a Yahoo server is, but that information doesn't need to be on SIPR. But back to the point. What Hillary did was not, by itself, illegal. If there was Secret or Top Secret information on there, the illegal act happened when it got put there. If that happened accidentally, then no one would get prosecuted. If it was done on purpose (like taking pictures of the classified areas of a submarine) then prosecution would be expected. The use and existence of a private server for government business was not illegal. - Dan G

If the information is classified Secret or higher it should not be on public domains. Period. If it is merely Confidential then you may be right. - Dan G

The conservatives love to accuse everyone of having Trump Derangement Syndrome. The fact is, it is the right wingers who have TDS, the primary symptom being the fervent belief that whatever Trump does is the right thing, regardless of their previously held position or common sense. - Dan G

I'm waiting for rushmc to come alomg and declare that the Senate staffer was caught in an unconstitutional perjury trap by the FBI. Should be any minute now. - Dan G

I was bullied every day in middle school. I know it creates more than sadness. I was making a rhetorical point. BTW, that happened to me before the internet The point is that your goal of ending bullying by restricting the internet is completely unrealistic. The internet makes bullying easier, sure. It also makes it easier for bullied kids to connect with friends, learn coping mechanisms, or seek help. Ending bullying by restricting the internet is just as unrealistic as getting rid of all the guns. - Dan G

I don't see how you can possibly think it is impossible to reduce access to guns and simultaneously think it will be possible to keep teenagers from being sad. Frankly your position is ridiculous. - Dan G

Right. Before social media we had Columbine. You’re focused on a single cause just like the anti-gun people are focused on a single cause. - Dan G

Did social media cause the Columbine shooting? - Dan G
