I only get a 3G signal so I wasn't able to watch a lot of the video, the set did look nice until the camera panned down & I saw the cinder-block/plywood table. If you need help building a better suited alternative table, gimme a hollar.

I've seen real freedom ... 99.99% of the people in this country don't have a clue as to what real freedom actually is. You are comfortable with far more tyranny than I am, that is obvious, and some tyranny is required for a society to exist, however it should be restrained by liberty, strangled by it, only the smallest bit of it should be allowed to exist out of necessity, no more than that. This nation has seen a reversal of that, now it is our liberty that is restrained, strangled by tyranny, only the smallest bit of liberty, just enough as required to pacify society, is allowed to exist, but even those few remaining liberties under constant threat. Tyranny is not always iron-fisted & brutal, occasionally it wears a velvet glove and has a light touch, but it is still tyranny just the same.

Sorry Robert forming a "committee" of like minded mini-tyrants prior to bossing people around, isn't freedom of choice &/or freedom of association for those folks being forced to comply with ordinances & regulations they vehemently disagree with, or be forced to flee their homes, private property, even city/town/county/state/nation in order to escape from you & your committee's persecution. Communist's absolutely loved forming "committees" ...

Welcome to TGO TNguy! You shouldn't apologize when you're right about something. Don't get me wrong, I like ol'e Robert, I wouldn't swap spit with the man or anything but gladly I'd share a meal &/or drink a brewskie or two with him anytime.. He does however seem to have a great deal of personal tolerance for tyranny/authoritarianism, so I'd say you were right on target with your assessment. But most Americans share this sort of tolerance of tyranny, because it is a "soft-tyranny", a for our own good tyranny, a to keep us safe tyranny, it has been packaged & sold to the American public in small, easy to swallow doses, flavored with sugary kool-aid goodness. I will say that Robert is starting to show little signs of "waking up" but he still holds pretty fast (as most folks do) to the American 2 political party deception.

I disagree, but only because Zimmerman's motivation for doing so was benign/innocent/noble in the sense he was attempting to "do the responsible neighborhood watch thing" by directing responding police officers to the suspicious person's/Trayvon's exact location. Zimmerman wasn't chasing, he was only following at a distance & he was only observing, not attempting to make contact. Specific words have specific connotations, let's all try to use the proper terminology for what actually happened, instead of purposely using misleading words in an attempt to villify an innocent man.

Depends on where each of the chickens are in the flock's "pecking order". They have an alpha/beta type ranking ladder, much like a pack of dogs would, some of the alpha hens (&/or roos) can get a little aggressive, even down-right mean, prehaps even vicious. Flock politics really isn't something you can control/fix, the only real solution is to either seperate one/other, or cull one/other.

Corruption is the simple answer, corruption of morality, of faith, of scripture, nothing is infallable, nothing is uncorruptable.

I also paid careful attention to what was going on in Africa, mostly due to the fact that most private contracting work was through Executive Outcomes at that time, which was operated out of there. I too have also noticed the same divisionary tactics playing out here, I do not know if it is the same group of puppeteers but whomever they are, they are following a very similar playbook.

Yup, it's been purposely distorted as being "far right" by leftists, but if anyone examines actual Nazi platform & policies, it was unmistakably socialist. And I say this with complete sincerity, there are actually many similarities in ideology between our modern progressives w/in the Democrat party & the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party of the 1920's. If you don't believe me & I am sure many of you do not thanks to the indoctrination/education you recieved, prehaps you should take a bit of time & do a little bit of research into actual, historically documented National Socialist policy.

Very interesting & thought provoking (as usual) Leroy. I agree that "We the People" have become so divided, along political, racial, cultural, religious & ethnic lines that we, as what should be at least as a semi-homogeneous group, no longer having very much (if anything) in common with one another (as a whole) at all. I also believe that this dissolution of our commonalities has been intentional.

Nope, I'm afraid that everything is going according to plan, you should be too.

My Machiavellian spidey-senses are tingling, I think it'd be foolish for anyone to underestimate the potential seriousness of this event.

Neither does the fellow who's really in love with & wants to marry his sister, or his goat, or his favorite stripper's shoe. "Fair" ain't got nothing to do with it.

Woman's bottled water leads to jail and 6 felony charges
RichardR replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Is it just me or is it getting harder & harder to tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" these days? -
I have a few problems with that statement. Freedom includes being free to oppose things that you are opposed to, especially if it is a moral or religious objection. Tyranny is attempting to force people to compromise their beliefs/principles & attempting to punish them if they don't comply. Well intentioned tyranny, is still tyranny.

Great, now there is going to be a bunch of "Justice for Sammie" crap to deal with.

In Amerika 2.0 in order to be tolerant you must be intolerant of people who have traditional morals & values.

If it was a 47, it was chambered in x39mm, not 54mm

Had a very disturbing conversation last night

That mindset is actually not all that uncommon. -

A paper grocery sack isn't "suspicious" nor is entering/exiting a retail establishment that sells alcohol beverages amongst it's groceries items. The agents had zero RS, let alone PC to reasonably believe that a crime had been comitted by those girls &/or the clerk at the store. Bottled water, cookie dough & icecream = a couple of innocent college girls getting bum-rushed in the parking lot by plain clothes officers with brandished weapons? No-one should be "ok" with that. -
Sounds undergassed, the low mass buffer might be light enough to clear that up, but I'd also double check the gas port/block alignment to make sure it's not off-set a little just in case.

Welp Dave it's obvious that you cannot be reasoned with, nor will you even conceede the most simple, undeniable truth of the matter, instead inventing unreasonable standards that have absolutely no basis in the reality of the situation that Zimmerman faced. You might have well just have typed "Trayvon didn't do nuffin" clicked submit/post and saved us all the trouble of reading that long-winded and completely asinine post.
