  1. yep-should have proofed, but I typically devote 8-10 seconds to this while I'm waiting on something else to happen.
    I also know I set myself up because I don't discuss, I state. I tend to take every situation on individual merits and not try to paint with as broad a brush.
    I'm quite willing to note that my position on this law, on the surface, presents an apparent conflict with my views on gun rights in as much as being concerned about the few violators as opposed to the vast majority who cause no problems. I'm not seeing a lot of worry about true LGBTXXX (seems to be more letters daily) as about evil people (generally men) abusing the opportunity.
    Once again, I take it situation by situation. Properly used, gender neutral restrooms are a non issue. Conversely, hurt one of mine-they'll find the offender at the end of the blood trail. It is what it is

  2. My more right wing friends are unable to do research, my more left wing friends get their news from memes and cable comedy, and it appears that Brave New World, Animal Farm, and 1984 dropped off the required reading list some time ago.

  3. One day I'm going to have to pull up all the RICO cases thrown at the clubs with huge press releases and follow up on the actual dispositions. Very few charges stick-especially if you take out the plea bargains defendants agree to because the feds have a lot more lawyers.

    And ice is cold...and reflects sunlight...so jets combat global warming. Wow, will Gore cut me a check for supporting such an environmentally friendly industry? B|:)

  5. Blow out some of the useless standardized testing and that and the associated test prep (which isn't teaching) would free up time to get back some of the missing arts, PE, and the type. Heck, we're going to have to do something to fill the school day-the best teachers are dumping the career as fast as they can.

    Sadly sobering
    I think we owe it to our future generations to improve on this issue.



    Agreed. I had firearm safety training when I was in elementary school. It should be offered as part of the curriculum. I'd be willing to pay a little extra tax on ammo to fund it.

  7. "Grand jury indicts 106 bikers in connection with Twin Peaks shootout"

    I know that the level for indictment is pretty low but am I supposed to believe that the grand jury was able to determine the merits of 106 individual cases in less that 5.1 minutes each?

  8. But that's weather, not climate...right? Weather is when things cool and climate is when models say that things are getting warmer even if they really arent-just wanting to make sure I understand this.

  9. Sounds like the church is handling it as appropriately as possible. Looks like it is too early in the process to count anyone as guilty so I won't bash the accused. Sin has a price. Eternal forgiveness doesn't erase the earthly consequences so I would expect the courts to levy punishment.
    Is that what you were asking, since I probably fall under your definition of Bible thumper.

    I n0te none of our Apologists for those in blue have been here to comment on this one...



    OK-I can't find anyone saying dirty cops should get a pass. As far as sexual misconduct. I'm as sure as anyone who doesn't have first hand knowledge can be that it occurs. I did note that the story seems to paint every accusation as a proven crime. I'm not going to go out on a limb and even venture to guess what percentage of complaints are legit. More than should be. I'm also not stupid enough or blinded enough by my own opinions to think that none of the complaints are fabricated. I would hope that the number is very small, but it happens.
    Bad cops don't mean every or even most cops are bad. Bikers committing crimes doesn't mean that all or even most 1%ers are criminals. Attempts to use broad brushes invariably are wrong. At the point you're argument starts hinging on juvenile name calling and willfully ignoring facts there is no legitimacy left.
    I'm also on record as saying that there is no valid reason that no cops have ever faced RICO charges. There's situations that meet the requirements way better than some that have been brought against clubs.
