Ahh yes, Obama is always right and good and wholesome and everything he does is justified and right, and GWB is the asshole of the world for which everything wrong must be blamed. *YAWN*

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 10:31 PM) It's a pretty stupid strategy to complain about. We can start reducing our nuclear arsenal and still be at it for decades. I agree, but neither side will in reality ever do this (reductions, sure, it only takes 5 or so to destroy the world, so eliminate, hell no), so my contention that this is nothing more then blather to make himself look good stands.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 10:16 PM) So then never strive for it, instead, encourage everyone to build UP their nuclear arms! ok dude, CLEARLY that was what I was saying.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 09:51 PM) It's really not as flowery and farfetched as it sounds, though, and the theory does have some merit. The catch, and a big one, is getting everyone to agree to take that jump. If you can do that and then actually manage to develop measures to control new proliferation, then it's possible. But until then, it's "you first." And again, I would never, ever trust anyone (including us) to make the first move in reality, although everyone would probably say they would.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 09:09 PM) Yeah, but naturally, they don't really trust us either. In the existing START treaty we have with the Russians, somewhere in there is language about mutual inspections and "national technical means" which is basically a pretty euphemism saying we both know we will be spying on one another to make sure we stay in compliance. Nobody in their right mind would blindly hand over a trump card like that, though. I agree. I mean, it sounds wonderful - a world with no nukes. In reality, it's a farce... and just the issue I have with Mr. Obama (and no, I'm not trying to carpet bomb - it's yet another illustration of flowery crap that sounds wonderful like he will save the world, when in reality it's a non issue.)

Weeeeeell, I think we all learned something today... T R U hates his job, alternators are expensive, kyyle doesn't like Obama being talked about, shipps is an asshole admin who finally made up a rule that no one will follow, and kap just doesn't know when to quit. OMG, you killed this thread, you bastard!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) I'm loving the GOP response to Obama's call to eliminate all nuclear weapons: "what an ignorant fool". Yes, desiring a world without massively destructive weapons capable of sending us to the stone age is soooooo ignorant and stupid. It is ignorant if there's no way to verify. The old saying goes... trust, but verify. Frankly, do you trust the Russians and Chinese to totally disarm? I don't.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) Actually, no. If you add all together and then white separate, it has to be close with the massive increase in hispanic population. If you add illegals, you're adding 10%+ straight to the top.

Ahh, the season's ready to go!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) They can't shorten the season cause of monetary reasons. It's too late to even think that. As far as weather, you never ever know. s*** it was almost 80 degrees in KC a couple weeks ago. It's been in the 70s a lot and now it's 35 with sleet. You just don't know. And the season actually is starting later this year. By almost a week...

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:55 PM) Shipps /thread oh yea, I forgot about him. Good point.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) Kap, look, I understand you are passionate about politics and it is a very big part of who you are(at least on this site). But that post you made yesterday looked like it was dragged straight out of the "Ban Guns/ 3 cops killed" thread and dropped in this thread because you were feeling fiesty. Im certainly not one to be telling people what to do on this site and I dont want to be that guy, but I felt that was a deliberate attempt at baiting and derailing a perfectly normal SLAM thread when that sort of discussion was happening elsewhere on a buster thread. That is all I have to say about that Honestly, it wasn't meant to tie to anything. It was just a random response to mreye's post. As I just said somewhere else, I wasn't trying to set the board on fire. I bait all the time. It's called discussion. However, I get your point. I don't ever want to tell you where to post either. It ain't my style... I guess that was my biggest point. Oh, and, I really try not to be an admin, I don't care what ya'll do. It's your board. I'm just the tech geek that has to fix the board when it goes haywire. I really don't want you all to think I'm ever on some power trip, because I'm not, and I can't think of anyone that is.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) Sure, go ahead, just keep it in the thread where the start fighted. I mean, if people get b****ed at for dragging arguments from one thread to another and baiting other people, then why shouldnt you? The filibuster is intended for political discussion, correct? This thread wasnt started with political discussion, or with the intent of political discussion, was it? You just randomly interjected your Obama fear mongering crap out of nowhere, didnt you? I could care less about your views, but you should be held to the same standards that everyone else is held to What "standards" are you talking about? Yes, by in large, you're right... but hell, threads get sidetracked all the time for many, many different things. I see the same things carried across the board, and I'm certainly not running around telling you or anyone else what or where to post. I don't think many admins/mods or regular posters (which is why I wrote it like I did) care what's posted where, with one notable exception (and no, it's not you). I see random "fear mongering" or whatever other adjective all over this board. And it's no big deal... unless we're (all posters) trying to make it one.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) right back atcha Mr Admin Ohhhhhhh, let's play that card. Please. I think we all can say pretty much what we want, and I don't think any of us need the post police to come by telling us where to post. If I want to post a sarcastic comment, I'll post it, thank me very much.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 10:58 AM) Oh, hahahahaha. funny. Go snipe in the filibuster Get over yourself. Seriously. It was a joke and I was very clear about it.

Just to make it clear, again, almost everyone who posts in this forum is very educated on the events and how important it is to keep up to speed on these things. Unfortunately, "sheep" are what elect people, not the knowledgeable American.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) Some of us, in fact probably more than many people think, honestly were thinking realistically when we voted for him. From that perspective, not only do you have to see the left b****ing about how he is not doing all of the idealistic things they projected onto him (duh), but you get stereotyped by conservative cynics who just call everyone who doesn't blast him for being a liberal (again, duh) mindless sheep. Maybe the shotgun blast is aimed at one group, but it hits everything whether intentional or not. I hate to say it, but most people were mindless sheep when they voted for him. I will ABSOLUTELY say that 99% of the people on this board are NOT mindless sheep. You all at least are engaged enough about the issues to be informed. The mindless sheep, generally, just wanted "change" but they had no idea what they were voting for, and that really troubles me. At the same time, though, there was a lot of mindless sheep bashing GWB every chance they got, and that DOES include some on this board. That's the hypocracy, and the trouble I have with the defense everything Mr. Obama does. That's enough for me. I've made my point and ruined a thread.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) those damn minorities. gettin the way of progress. White Americans are the minority now, taken as a whole. So, I guess we are getting in the way of progress. BTW, everyone SHOULD be counted... except illegals FOR THE PURPOSES OF REDISTRICTING (otherwise, hell yes, count them), which will completely alter voting patterns. But since Mr. Obama is doing this, I'm sure it's all fair.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 09:55 PM) At just completely random times, topic notwithstanding, in almost every post? It can get pretty annoying to be honest. That's the same reason people were complaining about AHB during the election season last year. Yup! And it's not very nice, is it? I've sat here and read for 5 damn years about how bad everything Republican is. And as I just said, it's funny because all of you just bite the cheese every time. Feel the love for Mr. Obama! I got your point, so I'll tame it down. But honestly, this is pretty easy pickings. This guy is not what you all thought you were electing. He's a liberal GWB.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 09:57 PM) You're un-American for criticizing our President during a time of war. You should be ashamed of yourself. Hi, Pot, Kettle. I'm just doing you a favor, just like you did GWB for all those years. It's funny to see all of you all upset over this.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) Come on, seriously? Keep it in the buster, I know you guys are arguing a lot over in there but there is no reason to bring it into other threads. MMkay. Mr. Obama is supposed to take care of the Sox I hear too. Now it's about the Sox, so I get a free pass.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 08:31 PM) Those fearing gun control shouldn't give front-page stories for gun-control supporters. It really seems like you're making excuses for this guy and just using any possible moment to criticize Obama. Sure. Those fearing free market economies shouldn't give front-page stories for Mr. Obama tearing them a new asshole, either. And you're damn right I will criticize Obama, since no one else seems to give a s*** that he's moving our country to a Euro-weenie social democracy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) Usually I say no. But then every time I try to say no, something like this happens. People who can completely legally get guns but who are essentially completely insane, and people wind up dead because of it. So, I'm asking...offer me a different option. There isn't one, and you know it. Unfortunately, that's the risk that comes with a "free" society, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would much rather deal with the exceptions then have rules framed around them.

QUOTE (mreye @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 06:51 PM) All this while I sit here unemployed since December 8th. Sigh... Ditto. It's nice and fun right now, isn't it? Where's Obama? He's supposed to take care of me!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 06:28 PM) So, for you 2...let me ask this in response... What could have been done to prevent this? We have a guy who, as far as we can tell, has a moderately violent background (fistfight with a neighbor on his record or something like that but no charges filed) who decides to go stock up on guns and ammunition and shoots up a bunch of police officers. You can't tell me that having a more armed populace would have prevented it. Because for crying out loud, he shot a bunch of cops. If anyone's going to already be armed, it's them. The guy has an AK47 and a bunch of other heavy weapons, magnum pistol, etc. Do you guys just consider these 3 to be collateral damage? Or can you offer a suggestion as to how this could have been prevented. Let me answer a question with a question. Is taking away guns going to solve it? Are you in support of abolishing the second amendment?
