Re: Welfare Death Spiral?
Dormouse, you are perilously near to coming across as lazy and rude. Do you think so little of the readers on here that you really think it is cool to provide BS? Do a little fact-checking, man, even if it harms your post-count.

Re: Prior military, concealed carry license...do I still need a
The purpose of the hunter's safety class is that it is one of the ways to demonstrate knowledge/proficiency so you can get the CHP. If you already have the CHP, you don't need the class. IANAL.

Re: Obama is lying about the possibility of default.
I remember when this was actually published, in June 2010, I believe.
Root has also said he has no memory of Obama at Columbia, and never met him.
I wonder why someone would take the old article, change the title and date, and reissue it?

Re: Really, no kidding, it doesn't raise the debt!
these in this article from 2011 demonstrate the general picture - even though the deficit (and therefore the cost of debt service) will have increased. There's some of the confusion. The deficit is just the difference in the budget between the income and the outgo. We are not taking in as much as w...

Re: Really, no kidding, it doesn't raise the debt!
I wonder if there is confusion over the terms used.....debt is what we owe, deficit is the difference between what we take in and what we spend, and service on the debt is the interest we owe to other countries/people on the debt. The debt grows because of the deficit. The debt includes all the thin...

Re: Really, no kidding, it doesn't raise the debt!
Actually, it was a darn good analogy, and it wasn't a criticism of your position. It's a potato-potahto thing. Regardless of the way the problem is stated, we have the same result. We're on the same side. :friends: The bottom line, as has been rightly stated, is that we have to get these idiots to ...

Re: Active shooter at Washington Navy Yard
I have a hard time believing that story. I am surprised they published it given the lack of ability to confirm validity. Not saying it's not possible... just saying the family might be full of BS. I find it completely believable. it is exactly the kind of thing that happens in airports all the time...

Re: Came across this CDC study this morning, Ordered by Obama...
It is worth understanding what this report is, and what it isn't. Also note it is based on 4 days of panel discussions, presentations, and committee talking, thinking and writing. Very restricted. The panels and presentations included GOA, NRA-ILA, etc, so it was not overtly unbalanced. The biggest ...

Re: Another unvetted, un-Scopes'ed e-mail forward...............
Yeah, it's real (and old), but is only a part of the article DaRoller links to. Best to read the original...it gives some useful context. Quoting out of context is not a good tactic. That's what got NBC in hot water over the Zimmermann tape.

That is, hold down the CTRL key, and hit the key that is = at the bottom and + at the top.....to get a larger font. So I guess you could write that as CTRL ++, but that's confusing.
