  1. Its a kid who's playing. He's just messing around. Who runs the government? Well a combination of people, bureaucrats, banking interests, corrupt politicians and defense contractors are the big ones.... but there are others. We aren't part of the equation, if that's what you were getting at.
  2. "Nobody would dare hurt my beloved government! They wouldn't dare. They're just here to help people by taking away their rights and stealing money from them to give to other people who are lazy... whats wrong with that?" Our right to bear arms as a deterrent to foreign invaders is redundant because an opposing military couldn't sneak much more than a canoe across either of the oceans against the US Navy. But that's not the only reason we have the 2nd Amendment. This is why I wont send my kids to public schools. Brainwashing kids to think guns are inherently evil, and when they refuse to comply you punish them disproportionately. Remember kids, fall in line with the liberal agenda OR ELSE. edit- Unless you're like HSBC or David Gregory... then I guess you're good.
  3. Haha so they've got from "doom-rifles equipped with detachable assault clips with baby-seeking high velocity military grade death-bullets" to "Wal-Mart rifles". Funny how the facts change. In any case, there's a lot of M14's lying around in this country, which up until like 18 months ago was the standard marksmanship rifle for the USMC. The new one (M25) is still on the M14 platform. That gun does not mess around, and you can (or could) buy one for $1500. Its just as lethal as almost any rifle in service around the world. Whatever, that wasn't your point. Unless the government plans on just wasting every American citizen and having no country left, they'll have to be selective about who they fight. They'll have to visually confirm a threat, they'll have to figure out who's an enemy and who's not. A-10's and drones really cant do that, because the only way you know about the insurgents is when they're shooting at you. The government better make a really good point to feed people, or they'll go from having a small percentage of the population revolting to everyone taking up arms overnight. Besides, I have the skills to survive in the woods with a .22lr and a hatchet for like a week at a time and do alright. Most people do too, even if they dont know it.
  4. Airstrikes do not win wars of occupation. An A-10 cant stand on a corner, it cant talk to people, it cant coordinate with anything other than what it intends to destroy. It doesn't work for insurrection. I know liberals in the wake of this gun control bulls*** have suddenly fallen in love with our bloated defense system and how much killing it can heap on Americans, but it's been marred in a quagmire fighting against dudes with Saigas and Mosin-Nagants hiding in caves. Talk about drones against too, talk about how vulnerable their supply chain, command centers and facilities are. Or how pathetic its defenses are against anything more than a RPG. All the drones are controlled from a military base in Nebraska, the heart of gun-country... wonder how long that would last against an educated opponent? (not long). As for tanks, you can own a tank (I believe still in all 50 states). In some states you can drive on roads without rubberized treads, in most states you can drive on the roads WITH rubberized treads... in some places you can even put your own goddamn gun on it to replace the deactivated one. How many tank massacres do we see? Not many, that dude in San Diego like 20 years ago and Killdozer guy who turned a bulldozer into a tank in his garage. In both those cases the only fatality was the perpetrator (one suicide, one suicide by cop). You can own rockets too, and build your own cannons. All of that is legal.
  5. http://www.ijreview.com/2013/01/30208-nbc-...wtown-shooting/ No AR-15 used in the shooting.
  6. I think everyone who bought into the story feels like a victim.
  7. Dont even try to figure out the NFL salary cap. All of this is probably wrong.
  8. That's almost a little too crazy for me. Either way, I'm OK with letting Melton walk. He was pretty good this year, but not as good as his new contract will inevitably be. If Henry Melton really is the difference between making a move in free agency to fix the OL and not doing that, then I wish him the best. We all should. Great defense and inconsistent offense has provided us with The 9 years of Lovie Smith: Sometimes great, sometimes good enough, mostly mediocre, occasionally horrifying. That's why I'm OK with cutting Peppers, that's $7 mil to spend on Brandon Albert and we did draft a DE in the 1st round last year (plus Wootton is actually pretty decent). A defense anchored by Charles Tillman, Tim Jennings, Lance Briggs and Shea McClellin can be bouyed to success by a comparatively good NFL offense.
  9. The Bears best defensive player is Tillman. Peppers isn't even better than Melton, Briggs or Jennings really.
  10. Assuming Melton and Urlacher are gone, we may have better personnel for a 3-4. Also give us a good reason to cut Peppers and save $9 million off the cap. DE- Wootton NT- DE- Paea OLB- McClellin MLB- Briggs MLB- Roach OLB- vs. DE- Wootton NT- 3T- Paea DE- Peppers (at great cost mind you) OLB- Briggs MLB- Roach OLB- Same number of holes to fill, and were spending a lot less money on the defense side of the ball.
  11. Rob Ryan is actually a really good defensive coach. He'd never come here though for obvious reasons.
  12. I'm OK with no more Marinelli. Things had to change, if we had to lose some of what worked before to make other parts of this team work better then were going to have to accept it.
  13. I shudder to think what kind of stuff they're hiding out of sight. If the s*** I see is so depressing I can only imagine how pathetic it gets once you pierce the viel.
  14. Make-work, and judging by what I've seen living in and around Chicago all but a small portion of my life that's primarily what the public sector does. Not 100% of what it does, but much closer to that extreme than the other. Maybe it's different in other parts of the country, one day I plan on finding out.
  15. What do you do for the government? Because outside a few government jobs, which I understand need to be filled because the state does have some functions it has to attend to, they could never cut it in the private world. EDIT- Actually, I doubt the veracity of what you're saying. I dont usually ask for proof of anything (because its a waste of time), but I wonder.
  16. I am. You're saying having people do jobs that require no skills gives them no opportunity to learn a skill. That's your justification for not making them work those jobs to get their handouts. However we have lots of people already working these same unskilled jobs making quite a bit of money. So if you dont have/dont want to learn a skill you've got two options: Welfare or government work. How about we combine both of those groups and motivate the leftovers to get a real job.
  17. So government workers getting paid the ludicrous amounts that they do have the added benefit of having no real skill. Great, I'm loving this more and more.
  18. I have three jobs. One is seasonal. I work in logistics, security and sales.
  19. Taxpayer subsidized living wage. If they want to actually earn it by entering a competitive environment without their ridiculous public unions they can go right ahead. Find a pothole filling business out there that'll pay you $65k a year. I dont see why we all have to assume responsibility for lazy government workers and their happiness. f*** them, they chose to be public servants.
  20. Hell yes I would. Then they can do something halfway productive with their labor as opposed to being only marginally better than people who get free s*** from the government while doing nothing.
  21. Yea I think bringing in 2 people working to have their basic needs met saves the taxpayer a lot of money compared to teams of 8 city workers each making $65k standing around for 8 hours trying to fix a pothole.
  22. How about this: If you're employed you can get some assistance for 10 hours/week of work for the government. If you're not employed the only way you get any assistance is by clocking 40 hours/week for the government. There we go. 40 hours/week is not backbreaking (though I'm sure you'll claim it is) and 10 hours/week is a big enough nuisance where people sucking on the states' teat will try to get off of it. If you dont show, you dont get the money... simple as that. I hate the idea of this plan, but considering the realities of the world I live in its about as far as I would go towards supporting welfare.
  23. Also, ESPN should be ashamed of themselves. They had this for 10 days and did nothing, they just wanted to protect a narrative.
