Babies from before the smoking ban were a Million Times Tougher and had a Million Times more Testosterone than the Millenial "guys" of Today. This is Settled Science.

The best film directors and trumpet players are heavy smokers. Most people are just not willing to come to Terms with this.

There were far fewer fatties before The Smoking Ban. Something to consider.

Just looking at this year, it seemed like everyone had "the guy" they wanted to hire. For the Cowboys it was McCarthy (interviewed him and Marvin Lewis). For the Panthers (and Giants) it was Rhule. Rivera for Washington (though he is a minority, I think it still goes to the point). The Browns seem to be the only ones who are interviewing a lot of guys and taking some time to do so.

Their kids sucked but ours might suck more.

Nice

Did you get a termination letter for her? There should be a window to renew still after that termination letter arrives. And anyway, aren't the social workers supposed to help patients take care of that stuff? A kid on one of my open cases got killed by his mom's boyfriend not even 72 hours after I'd last seen them back when I worked for CPS. It's all relative, man.

The Black Panthers would like to have a word with you. In any case, you're missing the forest for the trees. Armed resistance is what gave us back the right to self-government that had been trampled on via tyranny.

And what happens when they take away your right to vote? What option do you have left if they've taken your every ability to resist?

As you point out, voters are influenced by lots of things. It's okay to think that things aren't right with our government on multiple fronts. But let's not pretend that there aren't multiple groups of people out to influence you. The voters (and electors) made Donald Trump president too. It's not A did this and B did that. It's A and B did this and then B and C did that. A and C are just different influences. I'm not conceding anything re: Russia and the reach of their influences one way or another in 2016 but it's useful to make a point. Why do A and C want to influence B (the voters) so much? What are they after? And, back to the thread, who does it benefit to strip Americans of their ability to exercise their natural right to armed resistance? I don't necessarily know the answers but I believe that the less the government impedes on my natural rights, the better. The natural right to armed resistance leaves a lot of options on the table, which was the reason the founders explicitly protected it.

They reach the correct conclusion for the wrong reasons. Kevin Hart got blacklisted from the Oscars for telling some gay jokes back in the day. Ricky Gervais was invited to host the Golden Globes and they knew full well what he'd say. It was all a show. He's a hypocrite, but because he's a pressure release valve for the elite. Part of this is shown in his terrible context and delivery for the Epstein jokes. Ricky could do much better, but he didn't, because part of his job was to make the jokes finally induce cringe. It's a limited mock out, and a subtle message that says "we even control your dissent." He's like Carlin in the sense that Carlin was also a huge fraud.

Again, you miss the point. I haven't argued that it's not free speech, I'm arguing that this movement to strip people of their rights is supported largely by a small amount of very wealthy people. The question is, why do the uber-wealthy disproportionately support the disarming and trampling on the natural rights of the American people?

Weren't you the one complaining about whataboutism in another thread? I didn't say rich people can't do what they want with their money, I said that big money corrupts, and when 1/6th of your funding comes from one person, that one person can dictate a lot about what you do. So the question is, why would someone who has $3M to throw around donate that money to the suppression of the natural right of the people to keep and bear arms, and what strings are they attaching to that $3M? And yes, disarming one's people is oppression. Any suppression of the natural rights is, by definition, oppression.

You need advice on how to make someone go away? Sack up already. Be the richard cranium and tell her you pay your secretaries to work not to chat with people unless they're paying your fees. Eat the bad yelp review and feel your testicles swell.

It's more evidence that the movement to disarm the American people comes from a few "elites" trying to oppress many. Big money corrupts a lot of political causes, the pursuit to strip the American people of their natural rights is no exception.

https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+sum+HB567 Let's not pretend that that is what this all is about. You linked an article that says there's more than that and you know it. Don't be disingenuous for the sake of advancing an illegitimate point.

Yep. They're attempting to dismantle "opposing" institutions in order to form their one-party state. Not to mention that in 10 years that 50 employee bit will be considered a "loophole" and then Dems will want to close it.

It doesn't matter who wins elections. Natural rights are natural rights. A legitimately elected government official (or legitimately elected government) becomes illegitimate as soon as he (it) infringes on the people's natural rights. Ah, there it is.

I guess to prevent someone from renting a floor of a privately owned office building and turning it into a shooting range? I don't get it either.

Agreed, Gervais is a dillhole and fails to see how he falls under the same category but he did nail it.

The right to armed resistance to tyranny is one of the few natural rights we actually have. The fact that these folks haven't resorted to armed resistance yet is a sign that they still believe in the process that bad actors are abusing in an attempt to curtail that right. Be happy!

Should have included the word "catamite." Smh

I've been posting on PPP for about a decade, I'm well aware of Tibs history under his current and former monikers. He's not as bad as all that.

I was simply pointing out that neither you nor I are in the position of picking out neo-nazis in a crowd of thousands, face and neck tattoos aside.
