Why we don't need liberals ideas
- Thread starter LDB
- Start date
It might, if one didn't know that my job requires being in NYC, Atlanta, Memphis, Miami, Chicago, Detroit, LA, and everywhere in between. Often after dark. And alone.
But you certainly know it, [and you know I've been doing it for 10 years], which makes the passive-aggressive comments rather questionable, to say the least.
To paraphrase: it's ok if you disagree, but if you insinuate that it's due to a deficiency of common sense [or intelligence] on my part, that's not ok.
Amazing, simply, amazing. I can see that there is absolutely no point in trying to have a conversation with so many that have no desire to have one. Many have no clue and some are just more interested in playing the ridicule game. It's no wonder this country is SO messed up.
I guess that it is better to post silly, childish pictures of mini-condoms, or teeny firearms, instead of at least TRYING to discuss a serious issue in an adult manner.

We're trying to have an intelligent conversation and you're the one who keeps talking in over the top grandiose terms. We're talking about the realities of people's reactions to seeing semi automatic rifles at Taco Bell and you want to talk about the semantics of how a military - looking assault rifle isn't really an assault rifle because it only fires one shot at a time and can be used to hunt deer, when nobody at Taco Bell give a crap about that. People scare to easily and you laugh at such rudimentary civilities a being nice. No, what's amazing is that we're trying to have a conversation and all you want to do is beat the same old beat up drum.

That's hilarious, from one who has more than once derailed a serious conversation by demanding that Ragman illustrate with something silly. [And being a nice guy, Ragman does.] Or by inserting childish humor, in lieu of any intelligent comment, because : bored, right?
YOU of all people have no right to complain, because you are very often the perpetrator of silly and childish distractions from serious conversations.

You may wish to revisit the above idea ... after some further in-depth research ...

Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas
If you had included "for my job" or "due to my job" or something else that clarified it wouldn't have sounded like optional choices for recreation or whatever. As written, it sounded like trips to places to eat, jazz clubs or whatever in less than ideal areas thereby making the statement appropriate and accurate. Yes, the job at times goes to places one would reject otherwise. That wasn't the implied context.

Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas
Since these conversations often include more than just two people, it sometimes is not apparent who you are actually talking to ... particularly when your reply doesn't immediately follow the post you are addressing, and/or when you use personal pronouns - rather than proper names - and it isn't immediately clear who they actually refer to ...
I realize that this is probably a lot to ask, but is there any possibility that you could hit the "Reply With Quote" button when you are replying to a particular individual ?

"Tactical" as applied commercially and described by Turtle isn't psychobabble - it's one of the most successful marketing concepts being used today on everything from guns to straws to clothing. People in today's world buy function - but they buy style first.
We'll have to agree to disagree about that too. The Mini-14 has been around since 1974, and was never intended to be the same type of rifle as the AR. It has evolved through the years and has undergone improvements in structure and changes in styling - one of which was the addition of the tactical stock to appeal to the current demand for that styling. It's a dependable, versatile weapon that wouldn't have lasted for 40 years if it wasn't living up to necessary quality standards while maintaining a reasonable price. It's all about target marketing and satisfying the demands of that customer niche.
Ruger Mini-14 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I said that the Mini-14 was a sub-standard rifle, for good reason. It is not nearly as accurate or as easily repaired as an AR style rifle. It requires different magazines which are not interchangeable with other rifles, it's parts are not interchangeable and one cannot change calibers etc in any easy way. It is a "niche" rifle with limited uses.
The primary reason AR rifles are as popular as the are is simple, that is what is used in the military, when in the military those who use them are used to that, so that is what they buy. Same thing happened with every other military rifle that crossed over into the sporting world. Been that way since we have been a country.
The AR IS a better rifle, for most, not all, sporting applications, because of it's better, more functional design, it's interchangeable parts, and lighter perceived recoil across it's entire caliber range. NO other rifle, in the history of this country, is as versatile, as the AR style rifle. The more ergonomic design makes it easier to learn how to shoot, the lower recoil makes it very attractive to the female and youth crowds.
Add to that, the fact that they are just PLAIN FUN TO SHOOT and you have a winner.
We'll have to disagree on people buying "function", too. I spent a year selling cars & trucks, and when I asked the buyers what kind of utility they needed from a [pickup] truck, they all responded with everyday family things: hauling home improvement/garden items, dogs, groceries. Yet many wanted the one that was lettered "Off Road", even though [or maybe because] the only time they went off road was to pull into a driveway or parking lot.
"Macho" is a big seller, to a certain demographic, lol.
Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas
On facebook, many people don't know what I do for a living - but other drivers have no such excuse. Particularly on the site dedicated to that work, it didn't seem necessary to explain why I go into risky places after dark, and alone.
If I overestimated the capacity to grasp the basics, I apologize. I could try to 'dumb it down' some, if that'd help.....

Then there are the "liberal" "Thimblerig" cull dogs like Obama, and the sheep that are fool enough to follow them.

Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas
I don't need euphemisms, my life is just fine with my real experiences.
What you need is a dictionary - you clearly don't know what the word euphemisms means. BTW: you do need them, and use them, in case you didn't get the meaning of the <insert face palm here> comment. Hint: do the words "Dang gum" and "Dad blasted" ring a bell?
PS Yes, I know: I'm being 'ignored', [officially!] so the person who could learn something here won't - but maybe there's someone else who doesn't know the word, and if so, I'm happy to help.

The "SHEEP" followed, the LEADERS, lead. Some served, the rest did not. 41 is a big number, Robert knew that and Robert could float. Ifin you can't following this, you likely voted for Obama

LOL!! Way to go Turtle! ( At least I THINK you got it!) Likely one of only a few that might get it on their own without help! IF one got it, they are NOT part of the flock and not likely to get fleeced!
