Still yet...in another thread you cited biblical principles as to why you would not, could not take part in Medishare.     You ask trick questions for some reason, not really sure what you are trying to get at.   Not a Muslim, unless you are practicing taqiyya and kitman. I am not 100% convinced this is not the case.   At face value, adheres to certain biblical principles but does not consider themself "christian". Interesting to note you place that word in quotations most of the time that you type it.   Advocates joining together to go shoot at buses full of unarmed people, yet says the reason you do not do so yourself is you are not going to be a martryr for "a bunch of idiots". Interesting to deny calling people stupid, I guess I should have been 100% clear and stated you called everyone "a bunch of idiots", the "99.999999%". I am honored to have one of the .000001% here with us to guide the way.      

Insert myself? Interesting way to put it. I've been here longer than you. So you make claims of righteousness and still quote the bible, mostly Old Testament unless New Testament passages support your theory. My guess is Muslim or confused Jew. Again, you'll dodge any direct questions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So...quotes a lot of passages from the bible, going into lengthy detail about what it means, etc. Advocates going and shooting at buses full of refugees. Calls everyone else stupid and claims to be enlightened himself. Troll? Muslim? Instead of playing smoke and mirrors why not tell us what you really think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Weird though. I thought there was a higher number of guns in the country than number of citizens in the country for the USA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd say that's below the average number of guns owned per member on TGO! Young Israeli settlers play with unloaded guns at a 1994 army exhibition. There are only 7 privately owned guns for every 100 Israelis; the rate in America is 89. (MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP/Getty Images) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Per Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation Civilians must obtain a firearms license to lawfully acquire, possess, sell, or transfer firearms and ammunition. Soldiers are generally allowed to carry their personal weapons and ammunition together while on furlough during active service, uniformed or in civilian clothing. The list of below personnel are eligible for licenses allowing them to possess firearms: Israel Defense Forces officers honorably discharged with the rank of non-commissioned officer Reservists honorably discharged with the rank of regimental commander Eligible to possess one rifle. Ex–special forces enlisted men Retired police officers with the rank of sergeant Retired prison guards with the rank of squadron commander Licensed public transportation drivers transporting a minimum of five people Full-time dealers of jewellery or large sums of cash or valuables Civil Guard volunteers Civil Guard snipers may possess one rifle. Residents of militarily strategic buffer zones considered essential to state security Such personnel are may possess one handgun. Residents of Israeli settlements Settlers may possess handguns and can be issued automatic rifles by the army for personal protection. The automatic rifles are the property of the army and may be recalled at any time. Licensed hunters May possess one shotgun Licensed animal-control officers May possess two rifles In addition, those applying for permission to possess firearms must meet certain age requirements: 20 for women who completed military service or civil service equivalent 21 for men who completed military service or civil service equivalent 27 for those who did not complete military service or civil service equivalent 45 for residents of East Jerusalem. To obtain a firearms license, an applicant must be a resident of Israel for at least three consecutive years, pass a background check that considers the applicant's health, mental, and criminal history, establish a genuine reason for possessing a firearm (such as self-defense, hunting, or sport), and pass a weapons-training course. The Israeli government maintains an official registry of all residents with firearms licenses.[47] All those holding firearms licenses must renew them and re-take a shooting course at a gun range every three years and pass a psychological exam every six years.[48] They must demonstrate they have a safe at home in which to keep the firearm. Permits are given only for personal use, not for business in the firearms sale while holders for self-defense purposes may own only one handgun, and are given a lifetime supply of 50 bullets to take home.[49] In addition to private licenses of firearms, organizations can issue carry licenses to their members for activity related to that organization (e.g. security companies, shooting clubs, other workplaces). Members of officially recognized shooting clubs (practical shooting, Olympic shooting) are eligible for personal licenses allowing them to possess additional firearms (small bore rifles, handguns, air rifles, and air pistols) after demonstrating a need and fulfilling minimum membership time and activity requirements. Unlicensed individuals who want to engage in practice shooting are allowed supervised use of pistols at firing ranges. Those licensed to possess firearms may not carry them in public without a permit. Separate permits exist for being allowed to carrying open and concealed weapons.[47] Around 40% of applications for firearms permits are rejected.[50] In 2005, there were 236,879 private citizens and 154,000 security guards licensed to carry firearms. Another 34,000 Israelis who were previously licensed own guns illegally due to their failure to renew their gun license.[51][52] In 2007, there were estimated to be 500,000 civilian licensed guns in Israel, in addition to 1,757,500 in the military, and 26,040 in the police.[53][54] To legally own a gun as a souvenir, prize, inheritance, or award of appreciation from the military, an individual must first present proper documentation that they are about to receive it. Permits for gun collectors are extremely rare, and typically only given to ex-high-ranking officers. Under Israeli law, the maximum penalty for unlawful possession of a firearm is 10 years in prison.[47] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  True. I don't necessarily always blame the people that stay at home, but only if they are legitimately trying. Going to school full time, applying yourself, and working part time on the side to help pay for gas, bills, etc yet still living at home? Fine, I can let that slide.   Living at home at age 25, never had a job, going to school 2 classes a semester and living off everyone but yourself? Come on!   One of but not the only problem is how it is difficult it can be to find a successful job. I'm not excusing it but simply sympathizing with some of them because it can be difficult to actually find a decent job that pays even a living wage. I was blessed with a fantastic job at 16 that I've stuck with since.   As for kids not really growing up anymore, that's partially very true. May or may not be their fault, but I do partially blame the education system. Seniors in high school are treated like they cannot be trusted and are not capable unless they go to college, then they go to college where they are again treated as if they cannot be trusted.   Personally, I really wish that the education system as a whole was more closely integrated with the workforce. Why is it that it is in a sense promoted that high school graduates dedicate 4-8 years of their life going to school, not working, living off others, digging themselves into massive debt, all for the the promise of a grand job after graduation that may or may not come? My suggestion would be more sane limits student loan limits, requiring work experience during the college experience that takes the place of certain classes, etc.   On the flip side, I wish more people in the workforce were less dependent on a college education. Give people some credit. If they can learn in a college environment, they can learn on the job. I know at my place of work there are some who seem to think that you cannot tie your shoes if you don't have a bachelor's degree. Of course they consider themselves the elites of society and scoff at the idea that anyone blue collar should make as much as they do.   I myself value college and education, obviously there are some professions that are 100% dependent on it (such as surgeons, engineers, etc). But the whole education system is flawed and I feel it has to do with political as well as monetary reasons.

  Hey..24 here and that's not me!

Questioned by investigators and then released? Sounds odd. I think that there is more to the story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Sometimes they do. The more often do not, but sometimes they do. But you seem to be avoiding or denying the fact that sometimes staying with the status quo can also be helping themselves and their buddies out. I'm not arguing...simply conversing...

  If a cop, for whatever reason, catches a glimpse of hydrocodone (prescription or not), he isn't going to immediately think "drugs, shoot him!". If a cop, for whatever reason, catches a glimpse of a firearm unsuspectedly, his first reaction could very well be "gun, shoot him!". At minimum most officers would be put at extreme unease at such a situation. I know one thing, with my Wife and myself (and in this particular case two passengers in the back) parked on the side of a highway at 11:00 PM at night at the mercy of the officer, I want the officer to be as cool and calm as possible.   That's why I turned my dome light on, that's why I made sure my hands were clearly on the steering wheel holding my license and permit, and that's why I made sure to be as respectful and polite to the officer as possible. No, I don't keep my license, registration, or proof of insurance in the same compartment as my Glock 26. But to me, ultimately, it comes down to the fact that I have a permit and I believe it certainly will show up to the officer whenever he runs my license or tag. I am not an officer, have never been an officer, and will likely never be an officer, so I do not pretend to know exactly what an officer might think, but it is certainly a possibility that if they see I have a permit on their system yet I in no way acknowledge it to them voluntarily, they may question as to whether or not I am trying to hide anything (legal or not).   The bottom line is, you do whatever you think is best, I'll do what I think is best.

  Maybe the ammo guys make out no matter what, and I'm not even necessarily arguing anything in regards to this switch to 9mm Luger from .40 S&W.Yes, buying new pistols costs money but so does maintaining old ones. Also, 9mm Luger ammo should cost less than .40 S&W I imagine. What if it could be shown to save money over the next 5 years by switching to the cheaper ammo, even if the upfront cost of buying the gun now seems more expensive. Heck, depending on what .40 S&W pistols they have, it is possible that they could be sold and Glock 17's be purchased for less than what the .40 S&W was sold for.   But what I was really arguing was that surely it can be understood how it goes both ways. Yes, I recognize that a lot of purchasing decisions, any contract work really, is done to better thyself and their friends. But all I was really looking for was affirmation that sometimes sticking with the old instead of embracing the new (better, cheaper, etc) can also be done to better thyself and their friends.   It would be like if I was a manager at a factory and kept buying incandescent bulbs because a friend owned a company that manufactured them. Sure, I could switch the LED's and save the company decent money because the LED's use 1/10th the power of the incandescent and would easily and assuredly pay for themselves. But I am bettering myself and my friend because instead of catching up to technology I am embracing the old at the expense of the company.

If switching to something from something could possibly be putting money in the pocket of buddies, couldn't sticking with something for 20 years also be putting money in the pocket of buddies? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  I dont' want to fight it. I mean I put my cruise control on 55. It turned out to be a 40 zone.

  Exactly. I knew that when he ran my license he would likely if not assuradly see that I had a permit. If he came back at that point and asked if I had one, it may seem that I was trying to hide that fact from him. I did it because it seemed like it was a favor to the officer, not because I felt I was required to.

  If you would like to try to take this course in lieu of paying a traffic citation, you must come to court on your court date to request it. The court will determine if you are eligible.   http://www.collegedaletn.gov/index.aspx?NID=156

  Oh I'm very sure that this is the case. But frustrating because it truly means you are simply guessing and taking a chance whether it will be benificial or hurt you by doing so.

I'm in of course.
