Here, you don't get medical care, then. None of them have to do business with you. A lot of people think they do, but if they do, it's because you're going to die if they don't. And then you'll let...

We went through it about ten years ago. Times have changed significantly. Crooks can still profit from identity theft, but it's much, much harder to be hurt by it than it was just five years ago.

I've never heard a conspiracy theory that did anything but make me roll my eyes.

I don't think there is any way to prevent personal information from leaking out onto the internet. Too many sources have too much information about everyone for there to be an airtight seal on the...

Well, I'll be darned. Something beautiful enough we all agree it's breathtaking.

Sometimes, sunrises, sunsets, mountain ranges, the sea and snow take my breath away and stop me cold.

Huh. Yes, they say "Girl Scouts" on them. I could have sworn I saw a Campfire Insignia...

Shows what I know about it.


I have no idea what that means, beyond a 1950's slang for weed.

I had exactly the same problem with both Rainier and Berry's bullets, and came to the same conclusion: now I use lead or Hornady jacketed bullets for .45 ACP, no plated.

In the lead, I crimp them...

One of my favorite days!

Our Camp Fire Girl cookies just arrived!

I couldn't help but notice they have a new insignia, a rainbow. I also couldn't help but notice one of the CFGs was a he. Times...

This one thread has changed that impression. :)

We're out in the cold on a semi-permanent basis. My lovely wife and her colleagues, genuine Ivory-tower, highly educated, scientific, Ivy League,...

We agree. Everyone deserves the shot, and it was the shot portion of your statement I had an issue with.

Authority.

If one is truly acting in my name, society will give him the authority to do so. That authority is symbolized in uniforms, badges, offices, jobs, warrants, commissions.

Authority is...

You "earn" your shot by being born here. Talk about a low bar... So I assume you meant "if you earn a good life". That way, we can agree.

But it's the shot at a good life that matters, in my...

I don't melt lead, I don't play Xbox, but I'm 58, so we're very close in age.

I'd vote for him again if I could.

It's bad manners to drag politics into a non-political discussion. There's a separate political section here just so we don't have to read each other's political...

You could have just asked me. There is no citation, it was a statement of opinion, not a definition. :)

The ACLU does not take on second amendment issues, and is quite forthright about their...

Nope.

Saying that you would disobey these particular orders doesn't matter. What would matter would be the actual disobedience.

I have a problem with the state of emergency clause. There are...

An intellectual is anyone who is capable of changing his or her mind when presented with evidence.

I have yet to meet one here. It's not why people come here.

You'd think so. Problem is, it only matters if it matters.

We live at that crossroads. We are always at that crossroads. Being there is nothing new, that's why Constitution, v.1.0 failed, and you ended up with the constitution you have now. The first...

We're all guests in this house. Therefore, I expect the same respect that they show each other-- if they're rude enough to drag politics A) out of the political forum and B) into a non-political...

Where did you get the idea I was joking?

I'm not a one issue voter-- in 2014, only fools cast a vote based on one criteria.

The President has met far more of my criteria than any candidate in...

Actually, that makes sense. I accept.

The post under discussion, out of all of my smart-assed posts, was probably the most sincere. I admire both firefighters and cops.

BTSniper, what is your current lead time?

Thank you, Bill.

One thing I note is that some of the definitions of specific words there should be explained; disarming the American people is, for example, different from disarming a single...

What are you talking about?

I meant what I said. I meant it to mean that, speaking as a vet, I have extremely high regard for firefighters.

How did you get from there to being a d-bg to...
