I'm being very rational and practice here. I care about outcomes not political philosophies nor religious dogma, though they've become one and the same now. Sam here! I have experienced both systems now and my opinion is based on that and the price that I have paid in either system as well as the c...

As a European, my guess is Skippy would argue for the boondoggle that always raises its head when discussions of infrastructure investment come up--High Speed Rail Stop putting nonsense into my mouth. I am absolutely not in favor or railroad systems. They suck in Europe and I cant see them work wel...

Should the federal government help the states and victims of hurricane Sandy? Is it the job of the feds to help rebuild infrastructure after a natural disaster? To what extent? That's defined by preexisting law, FEMA and the limits of what the USG does once an area is designated a "national disaste...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I know about the recoil and possible problems. Someone I was shooting with took it from me and told me that I wasnt holding it right. Jam. Next person, next jam. That was when the owner admitted he hadn't cleaned it since 1996. He started squirting gun oil into it while e...

1. What is drug legalization vs drug decriminalization? 2. I assume one means large corporations could form, like with alcohol companies, while the other means possession would not be a crime. But I don't know. Home Defense ideas - not perfect, really depends on you, but may be useful: 1. Mossberg 5...

Diogenes, I think the 2 billion dollar cost has been debunked. Stubb-meister, I wouldn't get too upset. You won't change many minds here, but you can learn some other points of view. Usually a good thing. Celebrate diversity and all. Then you will be armed to address this where it counts - persuadin...

Then it is ignorance. ... ... The law takes no notice of extemporaneous commentary of people expressing their intentions to do this or that. Unless it is intentionally brought to the attention of a court by legal notice then it is irrelevant to the State what a person's expressed intentions are. As...
