Just death, Arbie. I don't hate. Killing the enemies of our nation should be done with cold blooded efficiency. A lack of emotion. Just a simple shot through their brain basket. It's efficient and humane. Best for everyone.

You have a thirst for killing people. And you say I do because I hunt and exterminate destructive vermin?
You keep bellowing "enemy of our nation." I would kill an enemy of our nation as well.
You know little of what goes into placing a shot at long range. You know little of the mindset.
 
NO. What I see is Trump and his cult blame Biden for everything under the sun, no matter what he does or does not do, no matter what, just to try and score political points.

It's the same ole Pygmalion Theory, that because you hate Democrats no Democrat can ever do anything right and so therefore, everything a Democrat president ever will ever do is WRONG!

Well, let me tell you, Democrats are not falling for that, and neither are the Independents that actually makes the difference in all of our elections today.

SO you Disgruntled Republicans that hate Democrats keep harping away about Biden, no matter what he does or doesn't do, as if you think you can ultimately convince the Independents to see it your way.

So let's not argue about it, and just go and vote. THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE WHO THEY THINK IS BEST TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.

Everybody in the race has to speak for themselves at some point, and that is what counts, and that is what the people will have to ultimately judge them by. All of our cheerleading, booing, and yea-ing in the background, just becomes he said/she said spaghetti on the wall.

But thanks for your opinion! The thing is, everybody has one! EVERYBODY!

See you on Poll Day!

You blame Trump for everything under the sun. Fact is, everything was cheaper 4 years ago. Energy, food, clothes, you name it.

I will be at the polls. Count on it.

And yet you kill small animals but too much of a coward to join the military where an enemy might shoot back :palm:

I shoot large ones too. What makes you think being in the military is the only place someone shoots back? Do you wanna take a shot? Do you have the balls? I'm game.
 
The stunning claim came in a series of articles by Travel Weekly's editor in chief, Arnie Weissmann, who this week chronicled his experiences with the deep-sea-diving company.

Weissmann wrote that he was due to board the Titan to view the Titanic in May but the trip was stopped by weather. In fact, just a couple of weeks stood between his would-be voyage and the trip that ended in tragedy this week when the vessel imploded, killing all five on board, he wrote.

In general, he said, he was impressed by "what appeared to be a risk-averse operation."

But one thing concerned him, he wrote.

Rush told Weissmann that "he had gotten the carbon fiber used to make the Titan at a big discount from Boeing because it was past its shelf life for use in airplanes," Weissmann wrote.

In his recollection, he asked Rush whether that was a problem, but he said he was told that the shelf-life dates "were set far before they had to be."

Both OceanGate and Boeing declined to comment on Weissmann's claims. Insider was unable to independently verify the source of the Titan's carbon fiber.

OceanGate's website previously claimed that the vessel was designed and engineered "in collaboration" with Boeing.

Boeing has denied any involvement in the design of the Titan.

Carbon fiber bicycle wheels have had complete failure in a second! And that's not 2.4 miles down in the ocean
 
As someone who is pro-union, I can't tell you what I really think without getting banned.

You don't even want to know the few times I've had to deal with a union. The local leadership pretty much just decided the easiest course was to make me and them separatees like you'd get on a restraining order.

No, but I'm a realist. “Some people just need killing.” ― Barry Eisler

If terrorists attack our nation, then I strongly believe they should be met with deadly force. Why do you have a problem with this? Is it because I include White Supremacists along with Jihadists and any other mass murdering assholes?

No, you are a tool of totalitarians. You claim--and do it repeatedly--that anyone who doesn't meet YOUR standard of accepting the regime in power should be summarily executed. You call anyone who questions the regime in power, variously, a "traitor," a "White supremist," or other similar disparaging term.

All unions aren't bad. There are some that are necessary and others that give good benefits to their members. What I argue against is being forced to join one to get a job.

See Terry? You prove to be more and more anti-government and anti-military every day. What piques my curiosity is why you are afraid to say you renounced your oath, which you probably took six or seven times.

That's a lie, Terry, and a red flag about your sanity.

Another lie, Terry. I call anyone who picks up arms otherwise supports the violent or illegal overthrow of state and federal governments to be criminals if not traitors or terrorists. White Supremacist supporters have a right to speak, but they don't have a right to suppress the rights of other Americans, disenfranchise those other Americans or support armed insurrection to do the same...as you often seem to do.

Thanks for the flip-flop on unions, Terry. That's a first. Kudos and agreed. Instead of lambasting unions, better to ensure there's an even playing field for both workers and managers. Do you agree?

No, I disagree. Professional unions, like trades ones today ensure their members meet certain standards that companies can rely on for good workmanship. They're more about their members having a good career and retirement now than fighting corporate management. Labor unions simply take their member's dues and play politics. This sort of union leader can be every bit as bad as bad management.

For example, I have several friends that work at Raytheon. None of them are currently in the union, most having quit after first joining. One related to me that the union leader wanted to make himself a name with the national leadership to get higher up in the union ranks. So, he called a strike during regular contract negotiations where Raytheon had given the union virtually everything they wanted in it. He had the union strike just so he could show the national leaders he could be a real asshole with corporate management.

I know of another case here locally where the local leader was stealing dues and using them for personal gain.

So, there can be times and places where a union is needed, and there are some good unions out there. But there are ones that aren't always working in the best interest of their members.

My position is still, join if you want, don't join if you don't want to. You should have the choice, and be able to work for a company of your choice. NO CLOSED SHOPS. By the way, the worst sort of unions, and many Democrat politicians love closed shops. They want to force membership to maximize dues taken in for political gain and purposes. They don't give a shit about their members.
