Don't even have the right to talk without getting government permission.

Just curious, but why has there never been a thread about all the players that talk to each other during the anthem or stand with their hands gripped tight onto their shoulder pads? Why was this never an issue for anyone until a player actually had a legitimate reason to be "disrespectful?"

I'm too fat for a full suit. But I've long wanted to do helmets. Y'all are making me jealous.

So is that what we are supposed to do, just run? What about trying to educate others and help them to see all the freedoms that they don't enjoy? I realize that Chuck has already said everything I feel and mostly in a better way than I could every convey, but I'll still throw this in. I feel quite privileged because of the life I was born into. I was born in a decent country at a pretty decent time. I've never truly been want of any necessity. I'm a lucky individual. However, that doesn't mean that I can't be critical of my country and systems in place meant to stifle true freedom. I'll do what I feel is necessary to make my neighborhood, community, city, state, country and even world a better place for the next generation. And if that is as simple as trying to educate people on a forum, or refusing to stand for a racist anthem, or whatever, then I will take pride in those actions. Even if I can't change a single mind, as long I get people talking and thinking, I'm doing what I believe is right.

I personally don't believe that the oppression is limited to black people. I think its anyone that isn't blue.

Thats like a battered woman staying with her man because Becky down the street has it much worse than she does. Still doesn't make it right.

The government I live under has been in the business of restricting freedoms since 1776. Not sure where you live though.

NFL contracts aren't guaranteed. If he gets cut, he gets nothing.

I believe that he did just put his money where his mouth is. Now, he was already on the bubble as far as his career is concerned but this could very well cost him his job. There are a lot of fans upset and if it hurts the owner's bottom line, you can guarantee he's gone. In which case, Kap loses his livelihood.

That's between you and your employer.

Well that's kind of the point here. He is trying to make the blip on people's radar. he is trying to get people discussing this.

Its not that easy for some people. I've seen plenty enough videos to see cops SHOOT people for complying. And they weren't engaged in criminal activity. They were driving in the wrong place and "matched a description (I've done that a LOT)" or they had a broken lens or light out. And how much money or what kind of life Kap has or has had, does not matter one bit in this. If you bring that up in this crap, then I guess you don't contribute to charities unless they are something that effected you personally huh? So only homeless people can donate to soup kitchens and shelters? Only flood victims can donate to Louisiana right now? ANYONE can believe in a cause and use whatever position they might have to try and bring awareness and change to that cause. And so long as they do it in an intelligent manner, as Kap has done, I don't see the problem. He didn't block freeways, or start a riot, he simply didn't stand and that gave him the ability speak about the issue in the national media. And when he did speak, he was intelligent and not at all hateful. He is actually setting a good example.

I don't even mind the finger grooves that everyone else hates. I just don't need grips that dig into my already terribly cracked and cut hands. And the 2 (which I have) and 3 are much better in that regard for me.

Something less aggressive. I'm not an operator. I don't wear gloves when I shoot. I have cracks and cuts in my hands. The gen 4 texture SUCKS for me. Its painful. I don't have a problem holding on to gen 3s so something like that would be fine for me.

They forgot to fix the texture. Hope they change that.

Would it surprise anyone to know that I REALLY want one of these? I'm disappointed that its not a full size all steel, but I'm sure thats coming too.

Don't see the problem. Do it while you're young before you can't.

Technically Nintendo did it in 21 years. The first pokemon game was released in 1995. Without that, it wouldn't be as popular today. Nostalgia is a strong motivator.

We don't get snow and if it's latched closed, rain ain't gettin in.

From the big green egg website. YOU CAN cook in every season, in any weather … even in the rain or snow Thanks to its high-tech ceramic composition, an EGG will endure extreme temperature differences and can maintain internal temperatures irrespective of the weather. You will find yourself using your EGG in all seasons. Want a perfectly roasted turkey in the middle of winter … no problem! However, do not leave an unused EGG open or with the cap removed, and never allow rain or snow to enter an unused EGG. Should the interior of an EGG get wet, dry completely then light a small amount of charcoal and allow the EGG to heat very gradually to not more than 350°F / 177°C to slowly burn off any residue or moisture.

I was gonna buy one of those but its not a ceramic grill. I was really looking forward to it. But its just thin stamped sheet metal with a ceramic coating. I figure it probably works ok but won't be as good or as long lasting as a kamado joe or big green egg.

I've never been gay before but I might give it a shot. What say you 56, you ever been with a straight bear before?

Dang. A woman into guns and old ford trucks woulda been perfect for me. I was gonna ask if you wanted to dump the husband.

I didn't know you were a woman.

Automatch has always seemed to run reliably in all of my shooters. These days, I rarely use it though. I've pretty much switched entirely to CCI standard velocity for those quiet pews.
