We had a wealth of fertile land, now mostly destroyed, which allowed our population to EXPLODE. This had a direct impact on our WWI victory.

We had ample hydropower resources, developed through Federal funding during the Great Depression. This was DIRECTLY responsible for our success in developing nukes and the reason we won WWII.

Note, we seem to be out of easily exploited natural resources and apparently have no interest in developing our intelligence. So we have begun selling our souls to corporations... turns out they aren't worth much.

Why should we have high capacity mags and guns? Because the cartels have them, the gangs have them and the govt has them.

Holy fuking sh#t, you actually think that is relevant... don't you? You actually think you are in an arms race of sorts with the cartels, the gangs, and the govt? You think that, within a lifetime, the US is going to collapse into some sort of post-apocalyptic Mad Max free for all... that you are going to have to defend your puny shack against the forces of evil. And if you don't have high capacity mags and guns you won't stand a chance. But what if the aliens and zombies are immune to our bullets?

Ron doesn't read... or think much for that matter... he just knows that what he feels is true. I'm surprised he's not more religious.

Locker, unfortunately you can't make ignorant people non-ignorant. There isn't a switch that you can turn on.

"Had it not been for a few of those, and ones i got from my parents, i just might have turned out to make Charlie Manson look like a choir boy.."..."

yes, beating kids is a sure way to keep them from becoming killers.

OK. What's an acceptable loss rate, for starters?

No loss is acceptable, unless you're on the far, far, left.

Then, any population loss is a benefit to our hurting planet.

That was me being cynical, sorry.

Ron:

Our mass murder was a mexican natl with an illegal chinese AK 47. try defending your self with a six shot revolver against that.

So what you are saying is that all those rednecks in IHOP with there guns are worthless.

That's confusing because you had me convinced that everyone carrying their own hand gun was the only way we were going to be safe. But clearly that won't do it. As Jeebus pointed out, we all need to eat breakfast with an AK... one finger on the fork and one on the trigger. Clearly the govt would have to step in and start regulating the "free refills on coffee" policy... ain't nothing in the constitution about that.

edit: all the kids I knew who got beat on a regular basis by teachers, parents, or other authority figures are in jail... 4 out of 10 of the kids I grew up with in my neighborhood.

Of course all 10 of my aunts were beaten by my very religious grandpa. The most severe beatings were reserved for the oldest. My mom (5th child) was only knocked unconscious a couple times... that she can remember... that will teach her to drop the butter. But none of them ever went to jail... most of them married a good, upstanding, wife-beating, kid-beating, gun loving redneck and popped out 5-10 kids of their own. Funny how similar conservatives are, regardless of religion.

I got paddled with one of those fuking boards with HOLES in them wayyyyyyyy more than once...

My folks had one of those. And there was absolutely no connection to its mysterious disappearance and the fact that we had a coal burning stove down in the basement.

This plan to put armed guards in all schools in America is a good one. We'll have to divert money from already strapped school budgets to do it since the same people advocating for this are opposed to tax hikes of any kind. Then, since schools will now be scary targets for mentally deranged people clearly capable of making sound, rational decisions, we will need to put armed guards at churches, shopping malls, movie theaters and anywhere else more than 10 people are gathered at time. AMUUUUUURICAAAAA

Ron, you think that behavior is due to the lack of beatings? Does that mean African Americans behaving badly is due to lack of lynchings... something else done regularly in the 1960's when "they" misbehaved?

Ron said

locker,, NO WAY in HELL would you have ever seen a classroom like the one above, in the 60s...

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers

and..... DONE.

The sickness and ignorance of the few has gotten to me. Continued participation seems as absurd as arming our waitresses and teachers. Armed guards and spankings... cuz that's how Jesus would do it... god bless Uhmerikuh.

Peas out to the good folks here.
