I don't want you guys to think that I'm getting down on or being unfair with leftists, so I went and found a photo of a good, militant leftist "protestor" (probably).

Force is a means to an end when people rage against reason and peaceful coexistence. I'm not looking to go bully someone, but I will not submit to bullying. If you ever pull your head out and realize that no one on earth has a right to do anything to you more than you do to them, you may not find th...

Sergeant Thorne

You know, people in this country have the right to protest, but there is no right to put your rights over someone else's rights. If someone ever felt it was their right to block my way in a public space, or silence me through disruption, I wouldn't stop at words. If there was a roll of duct tape han...

Normally I'd take you up on that in a heartbeat, because joystick hoarding has been a hobby of mine every since I picked up the closely-related hobby of destroying joysticks. :P Unfortunately I'm watching unnecessary expenditures right now, and I presently have a spare from e-bay as backup. Thanks f...

I'll side with Spidey on this one. Anyone who doesn't appreciate what he is saying is just inexperienced. People at times have their own drive, and at times can be driven by external motivators (some people are driven more by one than the other), but social economic engineering actually strikes at b...

IMO trade treaties are where most of the blame lies, because your average person doesn't have a very comprehensive grasp of business or economics. I mean once we the consumer have a clear picture of what's going on then we have a choice to make, but I lay the blame on our government. These are the p...

Any retail store knows all about the market for cheap imported goods. I suspect that was the motivation for the "Made In America", "Buy American" campaign/campaigns, because it's going to take some extra motivation to get most people to turn down cheap alternatives. Asking people...

A new poll found that Republicans mostly trust the news information that comes from one source , Fox News. That same poll found that Democrats typically trust the news from multiple sources , MSNBC (no surprise) AND most other mainstream news outlets, except Fox News . So who's going to be more clu...

I agree, and personally I don’t really see the need for segregated bathrooms in the first place, and maybe someday we can just have unisex bathrooms, but our culture is not at that stage. At the expense of a slight derail, I disagree with this strongly. I'm going to direct a statement at the whole ...

Carrying a pistol gives you confidence you don't otherwise have in the face of threat, and specifically when you are otherwise at a disadvantage (outnumbered), and that confidence is not restricted to when you have the gun at full draw. It's something you have to fall back on if things go very badl...

Sergeant Thorne

And my reply was in response to the notion that having his gun meant he would have used it. It doesn't usually escalate like that down here. I understand his comments to mean that he felt there was a threat, and felt it keenly enough (being outnumbered 2-1), that he wished for a firearm to give him ...

Sergeant Thorne

If it couldn't happen, then why did you suggest it might have?

Sergeant Thorne

I really doubt it, Ferno. First of all he was a police officer, and even if he wasn't he would have been in possession of a CCW license, and in either case the individual, no matter how paranoid, is well aware of the consequences of "brandishing", never mind using a firearm. I'm going to s...

Sergeant Thorne

Pushed on you, eh? (like how I said "eh?"--I'm working on my Canadian ;) ) I think this is a ridiculous article, because no one who wasn't there in the middle of it is in a position to comment on the nature of the encounter. I don't see any reason to pin this on Michigan residents or gun o...

Massively Multiplayer Laser Tag. Now young people will be encouraged to run while looking at their smart phones. Can you imagine the epic wipe-outs we may be seeing on YouTube soon?

Sergeant Thorne

Well Thorne, maybe YOU need to run and I'm not being specious either. I sure as hell don't see anyone out there even remotely coming close what you're describing as the ideal conservative . Liberals need an ideal candidate too, because Hillary is sure as hell not what most liberals really think the...

So many people spent so much time making fun of or trivializing Trump in an effort to make it so, instead of having an answer to him. What would the 'answer' be? Offer another loudmouthed reality show misogynistic conman with xenophobic tendencies? No doubt it would grant you the misogynistic sucke...

Men and women are what they are, and ought to be emotionally and psychologically equipped to square with that, and even excel at it. So to be clear, if someone has the mind of a man and the body of a woman, is that person a man or a woman? Or do you reject that as being a biologically possible circ...

Sergeant Thorne

That engine strikes me as being a physically troublesome (inefficient?) design, with the potential for a lot of bad stress acting on parts that are apparently beefed up/designed to handle it. The low-RPM nature of it is pretty cool, though.

Sergeant Thorne

You're welcome, Jeff. Anyone else wanna jump on that before we take a break from trolling and get back on topic?

Sergeant Thorne

No, I have a natural repulsion to it too, because as I said it is insanity. Men and women are what they are, and ought to be emotionally and psychologically equipped to square with that, and even excel at it. A man is not somehow a woman, a woman is not a man, and men and women are not any variety o...

Agreed. Very screwed up. There's a level of insanity involved, for one thing. There's another level of insanity involved in seeking to embrace this insanity.

Don't blame Trump supporters for Republican failings. If the party can't capture conservatives then it can't capture conservatives. Should have been an easy thing to do. Your party can't survive a Trump, TB. That's how this should be viewed. So many people spent so much time making fun of or trivial...

Sergeant Thorne

Articles like that are bad for you, Slick. But it is a ridiculous request, because you're surrounded by a wall of people and there is trained security present . I'd like to see concealed carry licenses honored, but even then you'd have to acknowledge you're taking an awfully big risk (unless you mit...

Just don't make the mistake of accepting an offer to drink shots every time Trump says "believe me". You'd die of alcohol poisoning.

My perspective is that if home invaders, muggers, terrorists, and the violently insane had a taste for them, they'd be between the pepper spray and the flashlights at the gun shop, and we'd carry bags of them on our belts opposite our holsters.

What any intelligence agency wants in our day, IMO, is for their system to have access to all information for use in a relational database format. This way all they have to do is keep their system apprised of their current concerns, as it were, and your data basically raises its hand if it fits the ...
