    Murders and Shootings

    So Gavinrad, 2 bolt action rifles and what looks like an old M4 is the same classification of a rifle using any idiot can use to fire those rounds at a very high rate indiscriminately? I've yet to see a reasonable explanation given either for what use the weapon in question would have for...

    Murders and Shootings

    So now it's been confirmed that the Assault Rifle was the weapon used to do all the damage. Yesterday when it was just the two handguns you could have argued the point that more restrictive gun laws wouldn't have changed much. Now though it certainly is debatable, would 20 have been killed if...

    Moontayle, unless you actually have your final approval and your loan docs are at your closing agent then you aren't done. Hopefully that is the case but if not then don't think it's all over at this point. As far as Brokers, this is a people business and aside from B of A you will have a...

    So the mother wasn't even a teacher at the school, would really like to know what reason he had to drive there and go all Rambo like that if it had no connection to his parents.

    I don't think anybody would have expected this and you can't say that Villa played that well other than sitting in their box, really just some shocking defending. Fucking embarrassing.

    Fucking shocking defending from LFC combined with Pep being flat footed, can't believe that score line and I'm sure the players are in shock with the way they've played.

    Murders and Shootings

    Interesting that the police are stating the quick response saved more lives. Guess in the coming days we'll find out more but it seems he would have kept on going had he had the chance.

    Murders and Shootings

    Not sure why you're surprised by my statement Mikhail, in almost any other material industry if the product is determined dangerous to the public it's usually regulated, restricted or banned from sale. Edit: That's my last comment in this thread on this. In regard to the situation, sounds...

    Murders and Shootings

    Certain types of guns were only made to kill people, that's a fact, whether you want to claim otherwise or not. There's a ton of shit that has nothing to do with hunting or home protection. If you somehow think that restricting the availability of things that would be deemed to fit in that...

    Murders and Shootings

    Again, you bring up examples that aren't even close to relevant. Unless you're stating the people are going to start buying cars based on the potential for lethality when running into other cars and people. You're also quoting me and talking about banning guns which I have yet to state. At...

    What does death rates from diseases have to do with the conversation? I'm not following as your talking about something that applies equally everywhere to a certain extent to a situation where depending on where you are in the world the availability varies wildly.

    Murders and Shootings

    Ok, so then just limiting this discussion to 1st world countries then I'm sure it's pretty tilted in one direction. Edit: I'm not and haven't advocated for the banning of guns. The point of the right to bear arms was for national defense which obviously doesn't apply anymore unless you think...

    Are you saying that per capita we are the most or that there are numerous other countries that are higher?

    Murders and Shootings

    What about murders by firearms in general? I'm pretty sure the rate of deaths here in the States outstrips by far every other nation in the world.

    Murders and Shootings

    That may be the case, but again you don't see it used with anywhere near the same prevalence as firearms. Arguing that these would be used in place of firearms with more prevalence is certainly debatable as most of these types of acts are carried out by deranged people were clear thought is...

    Murders and Shootings

    I'm not blaming the guns, I'm stating the damage would have been limited if he didn't have them. Building a home made bomb or hijacking a plane is not a very simple thing for your average person and therefore a pretty good deterrent on their own.

    Right, the entire class wasn't killed.

    Murders and Shootings

    So how would he have killed a room full of kids with that amount of adults around without a gun? Figure there had to be 40+ adults there if there were 600 kids, this wouldn't have happened to the degree it did if the person didn't have access to firearms.

    Murders and Shootings

    Right, because it has absolutely nothing to do with this situation. You can't stop crazy, you can stop crazy and armed. Fucking disgusting and sick, my daughters are 8 and 6 and the thought of this happening at their school just makes me angry.

    Homeowners

    The best option for when you cannot put down 20% and need PMI is to get Lender Paid MI. The MI is paid by having your interest rate increased for the time that you have MI, once you meet the criteria for MI removal then your interest rate is lowered back down to the base rate before the MI was...

    2012 NFL Season

    Cutler is still expected to play with the knee issue. Only question is if this means he'll get sacked 7 times again since he may not be as mobile. With the injuries the Bears are dealing with I'll be amazed if we keep this close. The Pack will sit 2 or 3 guys on Marshall and so far we've...

    No, it is not normal for your lender to have to request the same shit over and over. Fannie, Freddie, FHA and VA receive your file after closing electronically in almost all instances now. Your lender is scanning your documentation into a system and most lenders don't use paper files anymore...

    No, the pool was built by the previous owner to be specifically for salt water. It's not salty like the ocean, you just don't have to add any chemicals as there is a catalytic converter that burns the salt into chlorine which is a much better process for your skin and hair. Every bank offers...

    For the pools, it depends on the type of pool. Ours is salt water so it's fucking easy to maintain, just throw more salt in the pool and that's about it. I pay someone to clean the filter every 3 months. I've had to shock it twice for algea in 6 months now and that was it. The only issue now...

    If you're going to be sight seeing in Cali then there is no way you should skip San Fran. Even if the weather is shit it doesn't matter, there is so much to see and do that you can easily use up a couple of days without moving around all that much. I just love that fucking town. As far as...

    Paid cash for it used in '04 with 25k miles on it, it has 85k now. Starting to fall apart on me and thinking of getting the new Explorer as we're taking the kids up to the mountains more and more. Edit: Best pic I could find, it's not mine as I have the sport package with a bit of a lower...

    Ethernet over power lines

    I used the Netgear ones in my old apartment building from my router upstairs to my PS3 downstairs and had no issues streaming Netflix and the like. I'm now using it in my house up to my daughters rooms where the previous owner wired the rooms himself in a pretty fucked up way and again it works...

    2012 NFL Season

    Bit belated but while Warner did have his best years with Martz he also became so brain damaged that he looked all washed up by the time Bulger was ready and the year he spent with the Giants basically showed that. Remember he was signed to be Leinert's back up before he turned back into an...

    CFB 2012-2013

    You just have to watch Suh vs. Texas in his last year where he almost single handedly won that game and with any type of offense they would have won that game.

    2012 NFL Season

    You can only make due with what you are given. Nobody is claiming Cutler is Peyton Manning who can basically turn any receiver into an All-Pro it seems. Then again he's been basically playing in the same offensive scheme for his entire career. Either way, Profootballfocus has rated the Bears...

    I'm sure some people will bring up how he hasn't won a World Cup or Andy Gray will mumble something about playing at the Brittania in the rain on a Wednesday but what can't the guy do? A lot of what I think makes him unique in the eyes of fans is how he looks just like your average joe...

    2012 NFL Season

    Pretty fucking disgraceful to lose to the Vikes like that when it was obvious from the get go that Ponder wasn't going to do shit. Any semblance of a O-Line would have made the game a cake walk. Instead Cutler basically has his season ended (pretty sure 2 concussions in 4 weeks is an issue)...
