You brought up unions. It's not the members that are intrinsically low life thugs. Rather it's the organization to which they belong that is such. Much like government, a union exists only to serve itself. Any benefit accrued to its members is merely coincidental to its primary purpose. As...

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Which part of this language, especially the "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" part, do any of you find...

Nonsense. The middle class and thus trade unions are a product of the industrial revolution. If memory serves this country gained it's freedom and its very existence 120 or so years prior to this event. To hold that trade unions and their membership participated in the founding of this...

Hoax. Just a few minutes ago there was an item on one of the interchangeable morning shows featuring the people that created it and just how it was created. Even without that, a male eagle can only lift maybe 1.5 lbs, a female 2.5 - 3 lbs. Then only with a headwind and for short distances...

If that's a vector object, which I assume that it is since there's nodes displayed, then don't worry, those jagged looking edges are merely a low resolution interpretation of an actual line between end-points. The light itself is straight, its just the representation of it on your monitor that...

Perhaps you propose a competition like John Henry and the steam drill? Break out your Little Giant EZ Masker or whatever flower of technology you might favor and we'll race. I'll have my piece masked before you have your Wonder Boy Masked Marvel brought to the table. But even if that were not...

Perhaps, since these drugs don't really cure anything, they just mask it. Maybe they redirect whatever it is they mask into other manifestations as well. I have no idea if there's any evidence of this but it sure sounds good. There does seem to be an inordinate number of loony toons running...

That would be due to the advent of tranquilizers and other mood and mind altering medications. When Ronald Reagan was governor of the People's Republic of California he caused to be shut down most the the operating nut houses and fool farms. The vast majority of those patients could and were...

Putting application tape onto vinyl is, like everything else, something you learn to do. It's not rocket surgery and it doesn't require much in the way of equipment other than a flat table, a fixed axle to hold the role of application tape [ala Weber] and a 12" flat drywall trowel or just a Big...

That could be interesting. Who are you? An incarnation of Vlad the Impaler? Lizzie Bordon? Madam DeFarge? People may not be good or bad but in some twilight area in between, but their actions sure as hell are good or bad. There's a lot of people, too many to be particularly tolerant of any...

Unchanged. What of automobiles? Had there not been free and easy access to automobiles this case of arrested development might not have arrived at the scene. Automobiles must surely bear some of the blame. How about blaming his mother for having him? How about blaming anything and...

'Need' is not a player here. 'Need' is one of those things set by others. I might have lawful things because I want to and I can. I do not have to demonstrate need. This is as it should be

The constitution of the USofA states unequivocally that the people have the right to keep and bear arms. Not a militia, not an army, the people. Arms. Not this kind of arms or that kind of arms. Arms. As upheld by the Supremes. Anyone that holds that the 2nd amendment doesn't mean that you...

Clever. If you would have drilled through the other side at the same angle you could have inserted dowels and made the thing two sided. Just the ticket to fit beneath a free standing table.

'Graphics' is a noun, 'graphic' is an adjective. In your example 'car' is an adjective and 'graphics' is a noun. There are many example of this plural transformation. 'Kudos' for instance, you give kudos, you cannot give a 'kudo'. A horse has 'withers', no horse has a 'wither'. You can...

'Graphic' is an adjective, as in "It was a graphic demonstration." 'Image' is a noun, as in "How do I cut an image in half." I full well realize that the most of those on this sand pile use the word 'graphic' when they mean 'image' but enough. Language is a poor enough thing without people...

Yes.

Stop with he meaningless 'if only this' or 'if only that' nonsense. Your asinine speculations as to what might have been are unknowable fantasy. Try to stick with reality here, as difficult for you as that might be. Regardless of your inane speculations, the point, you insufferable ninny...

Twaddle. The raison d'etre of any living organism is to keep on doing so and to reproduce. That, sport, is a pretty good informal definition of life. I've known a number of people who managed to dispatch themselves, my mother for one, and I can state with some certainty that whatever the...

And you have come down with an acute case of Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc, an ever popular fallacy. This specimen decided to suck the pipe all on her own. Her decision, her choice, her responsibility. To attribute her demise to anything but her own choice is to use the "He made me do it" excuse...
