    Ron Paul Mega-Thread (Mergeness)

    I doubt many will read this, but if you watch the video he doesn't praise the Browns. He was ignorant of them and their situation. He praised their cause and civil disobedience in general. The media tried to turn his general answer into a specific one.

    Unpatriotic and defenseless...

    "Lead, follow, or get out of the way." Most people seem to choose the last option.

    Support for HR1022

    He's referring to Rep. McCarthy's answer to Tucker Carlson's question about HR 1022: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryCe4yoRVaA EDIT: Beaten out due to watching it again on YouTube after finding it. :)

    Savage 10flp: can they take detachable mags?

    I'd definitely be getting rid of the factory stock based on what I've heard about them! Is converting them to take magazines as trivial as popping out the blind magazine and inserting a mag well without using any special tools, though? If not, I'd have to give my purchase some additional thought.

    Savage 10flp: can they take detachable mags?

    I'm looking to buy my first bolt-action rifle and I think I want a Savage 10flp in .308 (I'm lefty). I was wondering if I should be able to find one that takes detachable magazines and, if not, are they easy to convert myself? If they're tricky or expensive to convert, would I be better off...

    Anti-hunting gun owners

    To me, it seems like that's the rough equivalent of saying that since your brownie will be eaten, I might as well eat it for myself. Or since everything dies, the circumstances don't matter. The ground hog was breaking machinery inadvertently as was the child. I was saying that the very first...

    Anti-hunting gun owners

    In terms of relating to people, I'm just challenging the concrete block that most people cemented in their heads that killing humans is inherently wrong whereas killing non-humans is inherently right. If you apply a certain set of logic to the former, why does the latter become something...

    Anti-hunting gun owners

    The pro-hunting arguments I've heard so far are: 1. I can. This is the worst argument, so I'm not even going to spend any time on it. 2. I want to, and it's a part of the natural order. You are not in danger of going without meat or protein. We have plenty of farm animals that we've...

    Anti-hunting gun owners

    Harry, the point I was making is that your argument is exactly the same one that was used by slave owners. No one here would argue that making theft, rape, or murder illegal is infringing on anyone's rights (at least I hope!). Freedom doesn't imply freedom to do whatever you wish to others...

    Anti-hunting gun owners

    I think any living thing should be treated with respect. Any animal is capable of suffering just as much as you or me, so unless killing said creature is the only way I can survive I'm not going to be very inclined to do so. For me personally, "do unto others as you would have them do unto...

    Math Majors- calculate weight of projectile

    Should be about .9 grams (.898g to keep the three significant figures you have). This is the equivalent of 13.8 grains. The accuracy of your measurements obviously affect the accuracy of the calculation. By the by, you wanted a physicist -- not a mathematician. :)

    Home Invasions

    For statistics, you'd probably better off searching for "breaking and entering" and "burglary." The problem, however, is that these will include places of business, government facilities, etc. If you can figure out what percentage of those crimes involve homes (especially when the residents...

    Vermont secession?

    I'd be kind of amusing if every single state succeeded and then banded back together with a smaller federal government that actually follows the Constitution (where "states rights" isn't just a concept in history books).

    Who would you vote for?

    There's only no hope for Ron Paul if everyone writes him off like that. What if the British fought WWII with that mentality? (enh, we already lost so who cares). Besides, with all the "main stream" candidates that the media has already hand-picked being absolutely worthless, I'm fairly...

    Well, what do you think of this?

    They look like some wayward college students attempting to look "cool" and probably impress some girls. Ignorance isn't anything particularly remarkable or noteworthy. Also, the reason they had difficulty with the fire is that BDUs are treated to be fire-resistant. I chuckled to myself when I...

    Right to bear arms

    I prefer to exercise my right to keep and arm bears.

    anyone want to buy a tank

    We could all chip in and own a percentage of one. :) Someone should start a time-share company for ridiculously expensive toys. Pay $1K (plus fuel costs) and you get the tank for a weekend.

    Are you a progressive?

    I belong to the Regressive Party. I want an immediate reinstatement of medieval feudal government and society. We can then work towards -- someday -- forming tribal chimp troops in which all of us run around naked flinging feces at each other.

    Chicago Tribune chimes in on .50 BMG ban

    They might as well say that 50's are capable of killing seven people in one shot (if you used FMJ ammo and they were all kind enough to form a straight line...)
