  1. Not done yet. Prostitution and polygamy?

    I have a whole idea about marriage that I may start a new thread about when I have time for full blown soap box mode.

     

    I have no objection to legal prostitution. I do think that in this age of zero privacy brought on by camera phones and social media that you would see less patrons willing to walk through a front door into a brothel. If you're worried about STD then just don't ride bareback.

  2. I spent many years in the middle east and most of the tuna I got there was labeled to local companies and it was so much better than what I've been getting here since my return. The solid white albacore in oil that you get over there is better and cheaper. Tuna packed in water tastes like water anyway.

     

    And it's not just the tuna. The chicken here, especially at fast food places, is ridiculously oversized and has much less taste. If you go to a Popeye's or KFC in Bahrain you will be blown away by the difference in quality and taste.

     

    But American beef is far better than the skinny-ass grass fed crap you get elsewhere.

  3. Any interpretation of the Constitution should give the widest possible definitions to the terms used with the intent of protecting the rights of citizens. It should be assumed that the intent was to limit legislation, not to encourage it.

     

    After-the-fact proacativity is pure politics designed to play on emotions to support short sighted agendas. Carrying weapons on school grounds is already illegal. Murder is already illegal. What's the point of creating another unenforceable law that doesn't even address the root of the problem?

  4. So to be clear, a 20 year old white suburbanite decided to murder his own sleeping mother then execute 20 school children in his own neighborhood and the focus of the issue should be his choice of weapons?

     

    Why didn't we think to ban rental trucks after OK City or airplanes after 9/11?

  5. Sure, there's many ways to interpret the 2nd amendment but there are eight words that leave little doubt about their intent. "the right of the people" and "shall not be infringed". This implies a singular (the right) that "shall not" be infringed. If you don't like it then change it but don't try to play semantics with the very clear language.

  6. Explain this to me, Gun Nuts.  I was watching a show on National Geographic about a gun auction and they were in Colorado.  A guy sold a Mack 10 with a suppressor on it.

     

    So why is a fully automatic text book sized sub machine gun that is nearly silent legal?

    Why would it not be legal? There's no need to wake the neighbors while you fend off the invading horde or just get those damn javelinas out of your garbage cans.

  7. Fast food: In N Out, Raising Cane's, Five Guys, Subway

     

    Restaurants: On the Border, Acapulco, Olive Garden, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House, Fleming's, Mimi's Cafe, Chili's.

     

    I stuck to chain places, since most of you are in California and wouldn't know the local places in Las Vegas.

    25 Club outside the main gate at Nellis. Best. Wings. Ever.
