Re: Fake News from Forum Participants

Having lost tenure at his university owing to being one of the primary architects of Portugal joining the Euro, Endovelico has fled to the east, absconding with funds from several union pension funds. After entering Poland dressed as a Catholic bishop, lest his usual garb consisting of a rumpled Mao...

Re: Work Out and Exercise

Any suggestions for a diet, especially one where you must eat as cheaply as possible? Dried beans—red, pinto, black, garbanzo, etc.—and corn meal. Get a pressure cooker for the beans. Google recipes for corn bread and polenta. I suppose I'm going to hafta bite this bullet: I can't stand beans, :lol...

Re: Firearms and other Weapons

Oh yes - it's pretty easy. There are loads of shooting clubs throughout the land - target and sport(pheasant, deer, grouse, pigeons - both feathered and clay, etc.). You can use club guns, or a landowner's guns when shooting on his land without requiring a firearms certificate, providing the club / ...

Yes. I used to do a bit of target shooting with 22 rifles as a kid and I've fired a 303 a few times in the RAF CCF as a teenager. Haven't touched a firearm for twenty years though.

Re: No difference between a Republican and a Democrat

3 trillion more debt vs 6 trillion. Well, what difference does it make? As the oil tanker of state thunders into shoaling water, either proposal pushes the engine order telegraph so far past "full ahead" that the handle will snap off.

Depends. Are we talking competitors in organized crime, or straight up, stranger- on- stranger violence? Because when you correct for that, per capita violence is comparable to many Euro nations.

Re: Firearms and other Weapons

Legally armed Americans shoot more bad guys with less mistaken shoots than the police do. You are safer with armed civilians in America than with police, and yet the police are the only ones some want to arm. Why is that? By way of comparison, how many people do the (illegally?) armed bad guys shoot?
