Re: The gun isn't the problem. Hate is the problem.

You got the response you got because the first 3 words out of your mouth were "delete your account. (Your post) is beyond the pale)" But I'll address your solutions one at a time: -Semi-automatic weapons aren't the problem. To the extent there's a correlation between availability of weapons and mass...

Re: The gun isn't the problem. Hate is the problem.

Calm down there, buddy. I was referring specifically to the shooter's motives. We don't know what motivated him. Look back at the question I was responding to: whether "hate" was still the problem. I said all we know was the shooter's race and his history of being bullied. Of course this sickens me....

Re: The gun isn't the problem. Hate is the problem.

Depends on the color of the victims, which we don't know since the media won't report it. Of course when a white dude shoots a bunch of black kids, we know IMMEDIATELY the race of everybody involved, and it is declared a "hate crime." I'm not suggesting that's what happened here since we don't have ...

Re: The gun isn't the problem. Hate is the problem.

If you're referring to the Texas shooting, we don't know much other than that the shooter wasn't white, and was apparently bullied in middle and early high school.

Nick at Nite and TV Land these days SUCK

I haven't watched either in well over a decade. Out of curiosity, I checked out their schedules. Nick-at-Nite air a whopping 4 different shows. That's it. 4. Even on weekends. -Friends -Mom -Young Sheldon -Mike & Molly ========================================================================== TV Lan...

Tell your vegetarian friends that if they don't want what you're grilling, they can go into the front yard and graze in the grass.

Re: 5/24 primary thread: Georgia governor faces first election denier today

I maxed out the betting against Purdue. Spent $1700 for a 4.5% return on my money. Easiest money ever made. His odds of winning literally sit at a statistical goose egg. Who's gonna win for SOS there, beemer? That one's a coin flip. Hice is making a late run, she might be overpriced now as nearly a...

Re: Mi GOP Gubernatorial Candidates lack support

Your governor issued 182 unconstitutional executive orders. That makes anything the Republicans are dealing with at the moment look like child's play.

That said, I do appreciate the irony of the self-proclaimed "quality guru" failing so miserably at this early stage.

Re: Roe v. Wade on the verge of being overturned?

We don't know whether the speech was legal or not as nobody has yet commented (that I've seen) on the reason for the original ban.

And in all fairness to MW - this place is about as laissez faire as internet forums come.

Re: Roe v. Wade on the verge of being overturned?

That’s your argument? “Coat hangers” makes more sense. No wonder Roe v. Wade is going down with arguments like that. He's not making an argument. He's asking you a question. Why do you keep coming back after repeatedly being banned? It is a question we have asked before and you have never answered....

So just how bad is this recession going to be?

I know we're not "technically" in a recession yet, but it is coming. My question is, just how bad are things going to get? I sure hope I'm wrong, but has the feeling of something worse than the Great Recession of 2008 on the horizon. Gas prices are very near being higher (adjusted for inflation) tha...
