It doesn't matter what the left thinks or forgives or whatever. Trump is daily demonstrating how to make the left more and more irrelevant. He is showing that there is nothing to fear there from the pinko element of society including the left leaning news media that makes up the news to suit their agenda. I think there are a lot of conservatives taking notes on how to properly handle these people.

Kind of like a pin cushion...... lol.

Why do these companies always hire customer service people that cannot communicate with customers? Nothing is more frustrating than trying to straighten out problems with people who you can't understand. Usually the situation is already confusing enough with out the added problem of a communications barrier. These companies must understand that.

Listen to all the excuses why Hillary lost. Boo-hoo-hoo, the system is picking on me. They're all out to get me. Not to be cruel, or to continue beating a dead horse, but the real reasons that count are simply that people didn't trust her (for very good reasons), and she didn't run fast enough from being an Obama clone. To look at it all from an optimistic viewpoint, it could even mean that people are not ready to move to a socialist government and hasn't really bought into the communist messages that the left has been selling. Let's face it the American public finally found their backbone and their brain and actually expressed their displeasure and disgust with the leftward push being forced on them.

It is still a pretty crude prototype, and not without problems, but you can see where a real R&D branch of any of the crossbow manufacturers could work this design over and turn it into a real slick weapon. That takes care of the shortcomings of the crossbow being a single shot weapon. The guy is one smart critter, by golly. One of many that are furiously busy inventing new things on the new platform of a crossbow. I am not surprised. But for now, he should forget the full-auto capabilities and simply concentrate on a quality "repeater" and as Tim-The-Toolman would say, "MORE POWER!". Wait until the new Binford 2000 comes out. I'm sure it's in the works already ...... lol.

Ha-ha-ha ...... it's not even the silliest-looking. http://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2015/10/27/5-massive-prehistoric-deer-species-makes-modern-deer-look-tiny/

I have to say that that is the silliest looking thing that I have ever seen. It doesn't even look like a deer's antlers. It probably lived near a nuke power plant.

If you or the bank intend to have a home inspection prior to purchase, You might want to ask the inspector in casual conversation what he thinks about the drain system. It may draw some extra attention to that area. I suspect there is nothing amiss, but it would supply a bit of extra comfort about the issue. Perhaps it is a belt and suspenders kind of thing, or it may be masking some kind of problem. I don't think that is standard practice. Are the two drains side by side, or at opposite ends of the house?

Anyone ever look at how this guy expresses himself. Every post is the same kind of mindless name-calling and out-of-control hate-spewing. I'm telling you, something isn't quite right with this guy. There is a real screw loose. Seriously, he has a hatred that goes beyond mere political discussion, something that is a bit unsettling.

Yeah, that's a pretty scary thought, isn't it?

I am not a lawyer, but I played softball with some......lol. Now there is a statement that offers credibility ..... Ha-ha-ha-ha.

47 years and look at what's happened to prices. Good thing they came up with plastic money or we wouldn't be able to carry all the money it takes to buy stuff .... lol.

I'll bet Huntscreek didn't sit around wishing and hoping that Obama would wreck the country and give us chaos and failure. Probably didn't threaten to move to Canada. It is likely that he didn't run through the streets breaking store windows. Probably, he did not demand worthless election recounts and do everything possible to overturn the legal voting process. Damn what is the matter with these Dems? No respect for anything and now no respect for the country. I suspect that in reality even Europe wouldn't want any of these weirdos. I know that my Brother-in-law from Canada told me that all those that were threatening to move to Canada wouldn't be welcome there anyway. But Canada didn't have to worry about it. These characters showed their credibility and character by demonstrating that they were all mouth.

You have to wonder what made it all work for Pataki. I can't remember who he ran against, but it must have been a real loser. You have to be pretty bad to lose a Governor's election to a Republican here....lol. But I am curious as to what formula he used to create that miracle. And then there was always good ol' Rockefeller, but we know what his secret was. He was just the Socialist Republican that out-liberaled anyone that the Democrats could put up.

That's the thing about "lake effect", sunny and clear in one area, and a few miles down the road people are getting buried.

This forum is a valuable learning tool, and the one lesson that can be readily observed here has to do with telling people they are doing something wrong. People do not always take that sort of thing the way it is intended. So perhaps we have amassed enough info here that shows that people like to do everything right, but seldom want to hear such advice from those offering it. You may want to arrange an actual visit during a butchering session. Perhaps there may be something obvious going on where you may make a casual suggestion phrased very carefully.

So, what do you think? Is there any possibility that a Donald Trump kind of candidate could come along and overturn the socialist status-quo of this state? Someone without the pinko mind-set that is so prevalent in this state. Someone that could pull off the unlikely state upset as Trump did federally. Someone who could put this state back onto the right-thinking direction before this we become irreparably bankrupt (financially, and morally, and constitutionally)? Or are we just destined to ride this sewer until it destroys itself. What do you all think? Anyone have any such candidates in mind?

Anyone who gleefully proclaims, "I am eagerly awaiting the chance to enjoy the complete chaos and failure of the next four years ...." is anti-American. You are eagerly awaiting 4 years of hard times for the American people. What the hell do you think it means? That is a statement that would be made by someone who revels in the failure of the U.S., and cannot be justified as being anything else. I have no use for those that would wish "chaos and failure" on this country and then revel in it.

Having to pay money is a great motivator. When you have to throw in your own cash, the effort that the student puts into their college education is reflected in a better education. When the students have a stake in their education, they seem to go at it with a whole different attitude. No motivation or appreciation comes from "free stuff". Take a look at what is coming out of our "free" public school system, and you will be looking at what will come out of our colleges if this proposal becomes law.

I'll bet the guy dropped the knife. And since he was out of the hospital in short order, it sounds like it was "kinder and gentler" than some of the alternatives.

Trying to travel light, I have a one size fits all and have opted to go with an old, old, old, army surplus military style Kabar knife. I can use that for everything from hacking branches out of a shooting lane, to skinning a squirrel, to self defense, to cutting up butternut squash in the fall. It's a little on the heavy-duty side, but it sure never comes up unable to regardless of the task. And the steel that Uncle Sam picked was some of the best I have ever had for an easy edge that lasts a long time. The only change that I made was to grind off the extra top sharpened edge after I cut myself reaching up inside to cut the wind-pipe.

Another great topic. It covers everything from ethics to a modern day religious crusade. I enjoyed it all.....lol. I have only one thought on the Texas heart shot. Every time I say it, I get this awful tightening sensation behind. There is something awful disgusting about the thought that puts me in mind of an extreme version of my last prostate exam. I think it has to be evil and somehow violating some ethics code somewhere.

It all just brings to mind that old saying.......If I had known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself ...... lol. Thanks people for all the birthday wishes, but you do realize that I am of the age where each additional year just makes me crankier and ornery. Maybe I'll get a crossbow for a present and go over to the dark side ..... lol.

I used to use them in my two Roy Rogers cap pistols. Those were a great improvement over the board that I used to pretend was my rifle. We used to play those awful politically incorrect cowboys and Indians. We also played cops and robbers. I didn't have a gun or caps for that. Had to use your finger and a lot of imagination. Now they play cops and robbers with real guns and real cops but the schools will give them a real hard time if they use the lethal "finger gun"..

Ha-ha-ha..... I like to argue. But eventually, just like the election, you have to realize when an issue has reached the point of not being arguable any more and simply move on. Just like the election, the crossbow issue is pretty much a done deal. One side won, one side lost. It is done. But, I am still a sucker for the old crossbow debate and things like it where someone is trying to force themselves into bow season.....lol. So, I am taking a break on this one and waiting for the next similar debate........ and there will always be another one. I suppose when the muzzleloaders want to get an even bigger bite in the bow season, there will be another debate with a different twist to it. Or maybe the air-gunners will take a liking to the bow season ..... or maybe some other wacky weapon that we're not even aware of yet. Everybody has their eye on bow season even though everybody thinks it all ends with just the crossbow. Call it all whatever you want, arguing, debating, discussing, it all forms the lion's share of what forums are all about. So let's get on to the next one!
