Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night...
The current method of grasping to straws in favour of one side vs the other has led the country directly to where it's currently at
Thinking and true conservatism go hand in hand....oh wait so does liberalism....thinking is for the smart while following blindly is for the ones who label themselves.
Left and right both have good ideas for certain things....
America needs to get beyond the labels and party lines and begin to actually figure out solutions on a case by case basis
Probably earns the title of "The most interesting man in the world" - What a gem! Thanks for sharing Mike
Extremely interesting! Thanks for sharing this with us Mike!
It's awesome you guys have achieved such great success! I found SOFREP while under the haze of the post-surgery blues haha Haven''t stopped reading since then and doubt I ever will.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to contribute and only wish you guys the best!
Congrats y'all
@Contagio I know right! SO many Canadians tend to forget he kept Canada relatively afloat despite looming debt crisis etc etc. (They dislike him because he comes across as supercilious) Canadians are very petty...
This world we live in is quite the interesting place....in a few hundred years I can only imagine what they will say about this period of time.
@Contagio - Yah couldn't agree more - it's such a difficult thing finding the right mix on these issues - a dictator on the other hand...haha
"The Benevolent Dictator"
....in a perfect world (sigh)
@Schmitti always appreciate a movie recommendation! Did anyone realize Tom Hardy was in BHD as "Twombly"?
@Schmitti @Tango9 hahah I hate to admit when things like these cause some form of wetness...
I mean in the eyes of course
@Jaycel Adkins - EVERYONE should read this!
i think a few of these have been done over the years (not sure by which polling orgs)...
This one is enlightening to say the least...only got through the exec summary but definitely something all people need to check out...in a world that has everyone is so connected and where minor things can cause big change and reverberate across the globe, it's information like this that is essential for citizens to be aware of in order to even begin trying to understand the complexities and nuances that we face each and everyday
@Contagio @Julesy i guess my options only work in an imperfectly perfect world....
Case and point: the current "situation" in Gitmo.....how in the heck did we allow the info out of their in the first place??....if some degenerates want to starve themselves, it shouldn't be public knowledge, just hook em up to an IV and see how they like surviving on literally the bare minimum of sustenance...
Hmm I was under the impression that supermax prisons they are essentially in a tiny cell and have no such luxuries? If thats not the case then well in respomse to Julesy and you my only opinion would be to create workcamps like so many places have and have had in the past....two birds with one stone haha
In no way am i trying to incite anyone, i just hsve always felt there are fates much worse than death...
A relative of mine spent 30 years in a Russian gulag and he described it as hell on earth
Wouldnt solitary confinement for 60+ years AND then hell be more of a punishment....Just my opinion in that these cowards prefer death as they think about paradise and promised virgins....the worst punishment is purely a subjective thing to each person....if a terrorizer wants to die then it's worse if we keep him alive in a tiny dark room till the end of his days (just like if someone with a phobia of spiders had the option of death or spending a lifetime in a cell full of spiders they would prefer death)
And besides that'...the death penalty for terrorism just excites any potential terrorist that no matter what they will get to die and go to their paradise....making them know that they will suffer in dismal conditions is more of a deterrant (and yes i know nothing works to deter these sickos)...but, anything is better than nothing
Just a lowly canadians opinion....and by no means is this opinion based on the death penalty being wrong- i think its plenty right in different circumstances aka child molesters etc etc because then it acts as a deterrent
It was extremely riveting I agree! The main SF guy is such a badass I think he was Solomon Vandy in Blood Diamond and Maximus' buddy in Gladiator
Hmm very interesting....the message we perceive from the american media is that there aren't any background checks at all....then we see the senate vote against it even though apparently 90% of americans want more background checks...thanks for the clarification. It definitely seems like an extremely tricky issue.....hopefully something happens that makes sense for all "stakeholders" ...
we have pretty strict enforcement up here we even need a seperate license specifically making us say where and when we will be transporting a gun.
I do feel that having a background check and then some sort of waiting period before approval to be a good thing.....i would much rather suffer a little bit and have to wait a week then give more opportunity for disturbed individuals or criminals to get their hands on one - though of course criminals dont need to utilize legitimate means of purchase since they're criminals haha
Some do you're right....some see him as a prophet who was crazily misguided but still a legit dude. Some see him as merely fulfilling a prophecy and therefore part of Gods plan
Most dont give it any thought
Loved that flick....Diane Kruger is a foxy Fraulein!
@Tango9 @ConsummateCanuck Watch out for those sinkholes! lol
not sure how one can interpret that as anything other than it calling for them to be killed...but that's the good thing about our countries....we can think and feel however we want
@BrendanDoran @ConsummateCanuck @MedicSteve2 my point was that both religions have called all believers to attack someone
