    If the cops thought he was in his 20s, then what difference does it make that he was actually 12? Other than none, I mean. Open carry is absolutely legal if you are in your 20s. They thought he was in his 20s, and they shot him for open carrying.

    January Locations & Witty Repartee

    Re: January Locations & Witty Repartee I've said it a hundred times, 20 miles on either side of Kalamazoo are the slickest roads I've ever seen, and I have no explanation for why.

    Possibly. Just because you agree with his opinion doesn't necessarily make him correct with respect to the current president. When Mencken wrote that, the term had not yet entered the lexicon as an insult. The term was coined in 1910 to mean something very specific, namely someone with an IQ of...

    The problems can't be "multiphasic" and "that basic" at the same time. The kid got shot because he was open carrying in a state where it's legal to open carry, by a mentally deficient cop who had already proven himself to not be able to properly handle a weapon who shouldn't have been on the...

    When are these idiots going to learn

    Those pileups almost always happen when you're driving along and you can see, then suddenly it's a near whiteout and you can't see. Because of the can't see problem, someone just ahead of you has suddenly slowed down and you can't see it. You crash into them. Someone behind you suddenly can't...

    And the cops thought he was in his 20s when they shot him. Be that as it may, I'm not sure that open carrying as an adult is enough of a justification for being shot and killed, and I would think it's even less of a justification as a child.

    And some narcissistic Republican moron just couldn't help themselves and took a perfectly good quote, embellished it by adding "fool and complete narcissistic" and then passed it off as as actual quote.

    The answer to that question is no. Because no one has a problem with WHY she quit. The problem is with her rank hypocrisy. She called a press conference to make an announcement (mainly that she wasn't going to run for reelection), and gave a grandiose 18 minute speech, the first 11 minutes of...

    That's why they need to be PM'd complete, ready to be copied and replaced. Even if it's just one sentence or a single word that gets changed in a post, I'll need to be able paste and replace the entire post in one whack. Because I'm still doing this one-handed, and left-handed at that, I don't...

    Open carry is legal in Ohio. Holding a gun in your hand, even pretending you're a beauty queen in a parade with it, should not mean you are subject to being shot on sight by the police. Why was that kid in possession of that pellet gun in the first place? Because it's a toy and he's a kid...

    With heavy emphasis on (and that can be copied and pasted easily :D) As in, take a entire post, make the edits, PM me the entire new post, and I'll copy and paste the newly edited post over the original, replacing it entirely. Obviously I'll need the Post# of the post to be replaced.

    There was just too many middlemen in the process. By the time it got down to the little people, there was just nothing left. Oh, well.

    The kid in Cleveland wasn't given time to "go" after anything, including putting his hands up. Then, they not only didn't give the kid medical aid, they tackled and arrested his 14 year old sister when she ran to him to give him aid. The first person to give him aid wasn't even affiliated with...

    I don't know if it's all posts in all forums, but after a certain time frame you can't edit your own posts. A Moderator or Administrator can edit them, though. If you have any specific edits you need to do (and that can be copied and pasted easily :D ), PM them to me (or I'm sure any other Mod...

    The problem is what the Supreme Court has done over the years with its decisions. As Dave would say, they've complicated the crap out of the simple.

    I assure you I am not describing Gnostic Atheists. I know what Gnosticism is, and it's got nothing to do with atheism. We have theists, atheists, and agnostics, with theists and atheists being the mirror image of each other, and atheists being in the middle. Every other flavor in between are...

    I think there is a correlation, but not necessarily a cause and effect. It's more complicated than that. But prayer in school couldn't hurt. It didn't hurt anyone before, and it's not likely to hurt anyone now. It was a problem that wasn't a problem that didn't need fixing so they fixed it...

    A personal attack and the truth aren't mutually exclusive. Something can be both. For example, yes, it is the truth that I have no children, and yes, you used that to attack me. The fact that I have no children is wholly irrelevant to my values regarding kids sitting on dogs. You actually stated...

    BOOM! No is isn't. I understand how some people feel about it, but not you. Because you filtered your response through politics and posted first about Palin, and then commented about standing on the dog, you shot and killed your credibility. You may be genuine and sincere about kids standing on...
