    Since I know little of Iran, I will take your word on it.
    But seriously, it's a bizarre "situation," isn't it?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Actually, I rarely carry, but I know a few who do. Since I live in a rural area, crime is low, and that's probably because criminals know that a confrontation could be bad for their health.
    That just my brief rant on the matter.
    Please carry on...
    CFM never tires of confronting people on here and asking to meet up and settle things like men. However when somebody gave him a time and place, he ran away like a coward. That's it, there's no more!

    It was mentioned about guns, so I just randomly responded.
    I think any poster who would be serious enough to go visit another online poster, whom he has absolutely "zero point shit" knowledge of, isn't well.
    Again, that said, I have some things to do before noon. Nice chatting with you, have a nice day
    Carry on...

    My apologies for the absence of a previous explanation.

    He's not a coward. It's just that his dick-lengthening exercises consume most of time.

    Bullshit. All Olympic decisions are made by the International Olympic Committee. The US is only one of many "voices" in the committee.

    The Olympic committee would have no bearing upon my suggestion. It's purely a matter for the US government.

    Yes, and you keep quoting him, Tom. It ruins it for me since I have him on ignore.

    Seriously, he gives legitimate gun owners (and conservatives in general) a bad name.

    In letter to governing body FIFA, Iranian officials refute announcement that two members of national squad were booted for playing against Maccabi Tel Aviv

    The fascist regime of Iran should be banned from FIFA and the Olympics, they have no business competing with athletes from the civilized world.

    unlikely I will watch any of it. NBC's coverage of the Olympics has been as horrendous for the viewers the last few go arounds as it was for Matt Lauer's staff
