So are you on the right or left?

So which Muslim country would you suggest someone live in? If you haven't realized the massive problem England (or Spain for that matter) has had in moving away from democracy and their curtailing to Islamic law, then you have missed the forest for the trees. History is also very clear of what happens when Islam is the prominent majority. Iran anyone? Iraq anyone? Lebanon? Think about it.

I had the ADM and it was rock solid. I think it is better than the Larue for less money. I prefer the lever mechanism of the ADM over the Larue. Of course you'll give all the AR guys the girlish giggles just mentioning the Larue name.

True, but Islam is at direct odds with American ideology, the Constitution, and individual liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness. Islam is not just a religion. It is a social, political, and economic system that has to take away personal freedom to enforce. You can't separate one from the other. We gotta be sharper than to let them use our own freedom to enslave us.

I know that pitch. He was a Southwestern book salesmen. Knowing kids names or neighbors names is something they picked up from one of you other neighbors. It isn't hard. My brother and SIL were their top sales people and recruiting teams. They actually have good stuff, that is very helpful, but with all the other crap out there it's hard to know which is which. Working for the Southwestern company is like boot camp for life! They have to go as far away from home as possible and have to find their own housing, food, manage their own sales, deliveries, ect. They don't work they don't eat. They work hard and are legit. Usually they will have something that says SW or Southwestern on them. If you can identify them be kind. They are just college kids trying to make a go of it. Of course being a jerk is a life lesson as well.

Sorry to take it to the political realm, but E85 or it's derivatives IS solely a political issue. It was forced on us by political activist who don't live in reality and think they are an island. It has a place, but I get aggravated every time I go to the pump with inflated gas prices only to see that stupid ethanol added sticker. Might as well say eco-tax as far as I'm concerned becasue that's all it is. It is a 10% tax on me to pay for environmentalist failing ideas. I don't see why anyone would want it either 44m, but there it is dragging down gas milage which means I pay more at the pump more often and it benefits no one except politicians.

Partially. The 6-10k years comes from a genealogy trace back to Adam as laid out in scripture. However, that assumes the time of the worlds creation to have been in conjunction with Adams creation. However, we don't know how long Adam lived in the garden before time began (ie Death entered in), how many people he fathered before the Cain and Abel or Seth, how long the earth stayed " formless and void", or how long each actual "day" of creation lasted. As is usual with a lot of religion we tend to assume and interpret within our own realm of understanding or beliefs. For instance the ancient Hebrews knew the earth was round and that the sun was central. Scripture says so. However, because in our own understanding and current knowledge assumed it was flat and the sun rotated around us it was a breakthrough in science when we discovered it was our assumptions and lack of knowledge of the unseen that needed adjustments. keep in mind the bible was not written as a scientific book, but rather a narrative of God's plan and will. Those who try to read it as scientific theory will have problems. Those whoo try to read it as mythology will also have problems. Context means a lot.

There are several different theories. However, you do have to take into account that most dating is done via carbon dating which is notoriously errant. Some research shows it is the least credible timing method yet it is what most time lines in the scientific community are based around. They now date with that preset in place so it makes a lot of assumptions now known to be erroneous. For instance you can only carbon date if something is several thousand years old. So to run a test you have to first assume or guess the age of something and then test it to see. If it isn't that old, you are guessing at best. That being said, there is some discussion Biblically about the time frame before what is called creation. Gap theory, Young Earth, ect all have explanations, but no oone is really sure. Job makes mentions of Dinasoaur like creatures as do other references. Most biblical scholars believe dinosaurs dissapered during the flood, which would account for the manyt of the things science can't account for. Oil deposits, mass fossilization, fish on mountains, Grand Canyon, Pangaea breakup, ect are all accounted for in the flood. It would also throw off dating models since massive pressure and soil turn over would account or other mineral deposits that take time and pressure to form. Ironically most of the mineral deposits all date to same time period. After the flood the massive climate change and reorder of nature would have greatly reduce growing season (food source) to sustain such large creatures, micor-evolution in other words. Long story short no one knows although biblical theories are much more realistic than some of the random happen stance theories of evolution. If you really want more I have several books and sources for different theories (from scientist) that talk about some of the ideas out there.

You're fine. I don't think it is posted and even if it is with the crowds and the lack of "entrances" you could come in from a hundred different places that aren't posted.

I came across it accidentally. Just reading through some of the headlines made me double check to make sure I wasn't reading Pravda.

Unbelievable, how ignorant the left is about how our country works ..... or maybe the problem is they do know how it works. Straight from Berkley, Kalifornia. Surprised? Don't focus solely on the Constitution - USATODAY.com

Words escape me. Maybe Ms Malveaux fails to recognize that is precisely the thing we celebrate that allowed some one like Frederick Douglas to make statements like he did in 1852, when no other place on earth would have allowed it. It's not perfection or nothing, but rather the freedom of life liberty and pursue happines. Missing the forrest in the trees. On July 4, hopes for a better nation - USATODAY.com

So apparently, he has a hard head!

Wow. Probably the way it's supposed to be interpreted by everyone, but I doubt that will be the case overall. Good job AG.

I believe the consensus is that it is fine as long as the person taking possession is 1. legally able to do so 2. There is not a "sale" involved. Reason being since there is no registration and that there is not a financial transaction taking place interstate commerce does not apply. This is why they made separate "death tax" laws to be able to illegally tax a non-transaction.

Why? You really want half the mileage while jacking up the price of a staple food the poor and starving worldwide depend on? E85 is about the most no-ethical environmental thing around. Just ask about the tortilla riots in South America. BTW - no one around here has it. Look in Kalifornia.

That's because they are CZ clones.

I have a feeling it won't be necessary.

If they weren't the smartest intellectuals in America, this might sound a little crazy.

While i love the AK, i think the "symbol of freedom" thing is a bit of a stretch. At the least, it still has the whole Russian history thing to overcome. Of course with all the revisionist history going on ....why not!? BTW, Welcome!

^ this. Legally every online purchase is taxable and you are supposed to fill out the form and pay it directly to the IRS. After all as Harry Reid put it, it is a voluntary tax system.

I bet I hear the same folks complaining about this as they do about how too one sided the NRA is and how they'll never renew because of mail-outs and phone calls. Trying to be "fair" and "bi-partisan", I imagine.

So hows the recovery from relocation surgery? J/K Yep, there's nothing like spending some tme at the range. It's more than shooting. It's the experience.

I thought they did excellent jobs. Of course improving Mr. T's role isn't too difficult but Murdock was really well played. Even my wife commented that Murdock was really well done and she didn't know who any of them were or remember the original TV show. Rampage actually did some "drama" acting and it was believable. Granted this is in the context of The A-Team.

That makes sense. I couldn't believe I was the only one!
