  1. Excuses, excuses...

    I look at those unexpected moments when, there she is, temptation herself in her various forms arrives unannounced as golden opportunities. Occasionally, I strike the gold. It is a confidence builder like no other.

  5. Gun Control and Shootings

    Hi Cloudhands, It is a quote from Machiavelli from the Renaissance. He was speaking to his contemporaries. Charlamagne would be one who comes to my mind as an armed victorious prophet, although that wasn't what I was trying to get at it by posting the quote. The world needs more Buddhas, Gandhis, and Mandelas. We could look to Martin Luther king Jr as being an unarmed prophet that was destroyed. True, his dream lives on, but he didn't make it to see 40, watch his children grow up or see his grandchildren. There are some impressive sword skillz found on Wudang Mountain & of course I could mention Lu Dongbin, Zhen Wu, and Zhang San Feng. I am fine with the rest of the world having strict gun controls. I am not cool with America having them. It is a unique situation here. #ResignSherriffIsrael
  6. Gun Control and Shootings

    Teenagers are cool and all; but I don't think it makes sense to let them dictate to me what my constitutional rights ought to be. Hasn't anyone thought about this? How many are killed because a teenager is texting while driving? Do we hear demands to take cell phones away from anyone? On the Trump thread quotes get posted without commentary. And I get it, let the words speak for themselves. I have a couple of notable historical quotes that I want to share and let them speak for themselves. Armed prophets succeed, but unarmed prophets must fail. The people are fickle, and when they no longer believe in you, you must force them to believe. Hence it comes about that all armed Prophets have been victorious, and all unarmed Prophets have been destroyed. ---Machiavelli And From the KJV Luke22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. edit> i almost forgot, #ResignSherriffIsrael

    #ResignSherriffIsrael Oh, but those deputies are fearless going after a stoner. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2018/02/25/broward-county-sheriff-scott-israel-looks-like-an-absolute-jerk-n2454061 Tapper asked Sheriff Israel, "Do you think that, if the Broward Sheriff's office had done things differently, this shooting might not have happened?" Astonishingly, Sheriff Israel responded, "Yeah, listen, if ifs and butts were candy and nuts, OJ Simpson would still be in the record books." Tapper quickly cut him off in a stern yet reasoned tone, saying, "I don't know what that means. There are 17 dead people and there's a whole long list of things your department could've done differently." #ResignSherriffIsrael

  16. Gun Control and Shootings

    you can begin at about 5 1/2 -6 minutes, Debbie starts slow on this one. if we are going to shout down someone with an opposing view with labels such as 'conspiracy theory' 'right wing' or 'russian bot' and ignore the content of the opposing view--the person placing these labels on those they disagree with are a large part of the problem and do not seek any real solution. question everything
