It's more likely than you think. (pun intended)

It's a sad day when forum groupthink leads to the independent thinker being cut from the herd and ostracized.

I just don't equate wanting to leave the option open, with wanting to actually put people in Syria. That argument just seems nonsensical to me, and situations do tend to change over time. And I don't agree with a lot of people on what exactly BoTG means; sending extraction teams to pick pilots...

Didn't Astro try creating his own version of the witness protection program and changed his name to Chuck?

I'll stick to just nitpicking this - just as an FYI, there's already a war in Syria in case you didn't notice, so it isn't like Obama is'trying to start a a war'there lol. Also AFAIK he is stopping Bush's wars (though doubtless not as quickly as most would like), and even at his worst I don't...

You don't want to walk into this dark alley with him, LOL. Just one example: his trip to Africa. Somehow when the fringe picked up on the story it turned into a $100 million vacation, when that was the upper range of possible cost for an official trip with vacation time tacked on and much of...

Can we have a Quillmane probability brain teaser?

I hate quoting myself but this got me thinking...is cooking still not "manly" to a large part of our society? With the exception of cooking large portions of meat or maybe stuff like chili, I still know guys that won't cook and if they do, they are reluctant to admit it.

Though I don't see why that would matter in any event, except for the sake of making comparisons. They could have just said"they have a metric fuckton of chemical weapons, it will take a long time to dispose of them". When they sit down to iron out the specifics, I fully expect there to be a...

I guess I should have used a fuckton of smiley faces there to signify that I was ribbing you and not looking to start that debate anew (nevermind the random nature of the article and my not writing out any type of stance/position). Sorry fanaskin! I would hope that the misleading language...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JbLsYoL3ug @fanaskin: you editing son of a bitch; going to bed though, not even going to bother with that tonight LOL

That's how my family used to eat cooked spinach, but I dunno. I also like fries with vinegar but I blame Buffalo for that. I may try to man up and make some this weekend (if I remember and don't sleep 24/7) but I dunno if I'll bother trying to find actual eared sweet corn this late in the...

Did Tolstoy rip off Pinocchio? I'm not well read at all in Russian literature.

I can understand khalid or whoever not getting the reference, but you should be ashamed of yourself, Mr."Piggy would have been safer and not have had a boulder encave his skull if he'd had a gun".

It's very possible. One type of weapon that I think would shoehorn well with what the Syrian government is facing (opponents being difficult to dig out of urban areas, as well as difficult terrain) would be thermobaric weapons, something that IIRC Russia is one of the leaders in: Naw...

I'm not even sure that I like the way that 9/11 is revered and observed yearly. I like the additional political bullshit associated with it even less.

Headline should have read:"Man crushed by boulder, tragedy could have been prevented by gun ownership" http://www.kcsg.com/view/full_story/...re_local_news1

See, if everyone had guns to begin with then we wouldn't even beHAVINGthis discussion.

What if I start pulling quotes from books I have at my side and type them out? I mean, you could still just refute any and all counterarguments, so I'm honestly not sure it's even worth it. What's even worse about the entire debate is that honestly, without the Israelis themselves volunteering...

I'm going through bacon withdrawal.

ROFL at that dude. http://www.summitdaily.com/article/2...NEWS/101250067 http://www.vaildaily.com/article/20070614/NEWS/70614053 Also interesting that he used to be a Jew himself.

You'd have a hard time convincing me that Chicago actually has more murders than Baghdad - reported "rates" might be higher but there's a lot of crimes in Iraq (and similar countries) that never get reported and frankly I'm not sure that their methodology is as good as 1800s America was. You...

Any time not in-theater, during training, a lot of time in-transit, sometimes even in theater, but that probably depended on specific location and MOS more than anything else. I remember seeing some peeps in Mosul walking around unarmed iirc, but they were probably fobettes and to be honest, I...

What fantasy world do you live in that the odds of someone trying to attack you with potentially lethal levels of violence is so high that you must be armed at all times? When I was a soldier I wasn't even armed at all times, and there were times we carried our rifles but weren't given ammo...

That's a whole lot of fearmongering squeezed into one sentence. What has always amazed me is how firearms are treated differently depending on the circumstances. After a shooting or a massacre like Newton, what you hear are things like"guns don't kill people, people kill people". But when...

I counted atLEAST3 separate edited versions there, and I went AFK to do dishes for much of that time.

What frightens me is how we've been manipulated by the Sauds, to some degree. They (Saudi Arabia) want to remap the Middle East but they can't use the extremists they fund and control directly, as many of them don't want to settle for less than an absolute pan-Arab theocracy. So they need...

chaos told me to come here and post, so I figured I'd share with you all what I made for dinner tonight. First I opened myself a can of Progresso chicken and corn chowder and dumped it in a microwave safe bowl. I wanted to put clear plastic wrap over it but all I had was this red shit, so...

Finally, a cheeseburger we can believe in.

You're right bro, I'm on edge and I jumped to conclusions with McCheese. McCheese, I am truly sorry for being an asshole to you. That said, you can go rot in hell for letting McDonalds get rid of chicken fajitas and made from scratch biscuits. And I'm talking about the old fajitas...

I typed up a response after reading all 33 pages of the PDF he originally posted then edited out, that was aimed at badmouthing compulsory schooling and Horace Mann, but I don't think that I need it now.

Are you fucking serious? My post wasCLEARLYa riff on the well-worn "elbows too sharp" meme, and you're a retard if you thought that it was anything but.

Rebellion called off on account of me being full of shit. Sorry bros. Picasso, I need to give you an Internet but I don't know if you want +Internets or -Internets. Please advise.

I forgot to mention this, but if I needed to choose something to equalize all men, I'd give everyone an education before I'd give them anything else. And while I am not opposed to universal gun ownership (as a gun owner myself), I do think that it is sad that there isn't but a fraction of the...

Once again we see the tyranny of the Mods, demanding that I make short posts that are to the point, disregarding my long held tradition of making long rambling posts for my own amusement. Fanaskin, I must apologize to you, for after pondering your words last night I realized that you were...

Dear Jugs, I know that many have left the Jug Nation, some to pursue a quiet life in their new forum home, while others saw no need to maintain their constant vigilance. Even I eschewed the status of Jugdom, and in a moment of weakness accepted the poisonous fruit of Moderatorship from Herr...

So let me get this straight...I point out how the metric you defined could be abused due to subjectivity, and in your mind that makes me an "ally" of the people on this list? Are you high? Same as the above, LOL. Do you even know what position I'd advocate if I were to lay my positions out?

Also, the USSR totally slowed the fuck out of Germany and was about to shaman-solo them with DOTs when the rest of the allies showed to get flagged from the kill and see what it dropped. Germany was already at 20%, then America dropped a couple DD nukes, got the killshot then declared that...

So you say the region is imbalanced by arbitrary boundaries and superpower backing, and your answer to that is a nuclear armed Iran? Well hell, while we're at it let's just give every questionable regime in unstable areas nukes right? I guess that guns aren't the only GREAT EQUALIZER in your...

Dude, 20 minutes. But wait a minute, doesn't that mean that the people that don't have guns will be powerless victims?!? I mean, you even made us a handy pic: I mean, according to your own pic, "weak with no gun" isALWAYS THE LOSER. So only the responsible people can have guns? Who...
