Thanks. When I was an engineer I often thought there was only correct and incorrect and it was matter of showing others why I had come to the right position. I also learned using that perspective that in the end I still believed I was right, but I was also still alone in my thinking.
My...
What do you mean? You given a cryptic mathematical proof and then won't explain it to somebody? Why should I understand your previous statement? What makes you think I would understand your previous statement.
I've not even said that creation should be taught in public schools. I do think...
I was not offering a proof, what I was saying is that making people confused and angry because you believe you're right, and you may be right may not help your cause.
What you are doing is dividing and causing anger. I think your imparting your own traits and abilities onto others and expect...
I don't think you understand what this all is about. You appear to think this is a game about winning arguments on a semi-anonymous gun board. It is not for the vast majority of those present.
Many people vehemently disagree with you mainly because of how you say things. I spent a good...
This is unacceptable broad brush painting and I'm grossly offended. My respect for your thoughts has been destroyed by this statement and my tolerance for your thoughts has been greatly diminished.
I always thought it had more to with calling something it wasn't. It just makes the person saying it incorrectly look ignorant, incompetent, or stupid. How does one who claims to have a basic knowledge of something gain credibility by not using its name. The whole issue just leads to...
I would completely agree with the consensus to end the war on drugs IF we enforced personal accountability FIRST. There are far to many who would escape the consequences of their actions by suckling on the mother's (gov't) teat while still choosing to do damage to their own bodies. We could go...
Your base assumption seems to be that fair means the "rich" pay more just because they're rich.
I don't have a good solution other than flat tax on income or consumption or split between the two. What is unfair is continuing to tax the "rich" at higher levels and not taxing the "poor" at all...
I don't disagree that many of our rights come from our creator and are not a product of government action. The point of my reply was that the author of the article was disingenuous or ignorant of what his citation stood for.
The author makes the point that courts aren't need to delineate...
I'd like to clarify that Cockrum v. The State, was Texas Supreme Court opinion. The discussion of the second amendment was only germaine because the defendant tried to argue that the Texas legislature's decision to require punishment for murders by bowie knife be more serious than other murders...
You make a good point, but I disagree with you specifically on healthcare. By analogy, you have a right to representation (court appointed attorney) even if you can't pay for one. One is provided because most attorneys and the free market wouldn't provide a service for the indigent criminal...
I would most likely retreat to my vehicle and lock the doors, while grabbing my cell phone to make ready. Then I would assess the situation. If the guy is still blocking me in, I'd call 911. If the guys moves on, I'd keep an eye on him to see where he goes. If he goes on beyond site, I'd...
The primary reason many fear using the privileges and immunities (P&I) clause is that it could be used to bring all sorts of new rights which don't exist and never have. A primary example would be using P&I to find a constitutional right to healthcare or some other non-sense made up right.
I've heard that before. My suggestion would be to rent another building there at the fairgrounds and charge a higher price for the main building and a lower price for the newer building. This should encourage the better vendors to setup shop in the better location and encourage the crappier...
I don't think this is correct. I think technically since you have been served, maintaining possession of your firearms is a violation of the court order which is bad juju at your hearing. This would be the time to contact a licensed attorney and have them tell you what you can and cannot do...
I hate to split hairs, but Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice when he lied multiple times under oath. Partisan politics may have turned his impeachment into an impeachment based on his infidelity, but it was his lieing under oath that got him there.
