Ruger SR22 Review

I'd be interested in the fetish deconstruction analysis of these.

(Edit. Picture too big. You're gonna hafta click the link.)

I was saying that the social progressives have no higher aspiration than to replace the present "wealthy and powerful minority" with another "wealthy and powerful minority" that better suits them. Not even wrong. ^ This from a guy who serially misunderstands everything I write. ;)

You're welcome. Perhaps a small portion shall prove worthy of incorporation into the RTG platform.

Well then I guess it was your baseless stereotypes that threw me off. My fault, of course. :roll: The left doesn't think in terms of 'political perfection'. They believe in 'Progress', that the system can be improved if responsibly governed. For better or worse when y'all spread the false Spengleri...

I understand what you were getting at. But at the bottom line I reject the notion that you're getting at, that people are hopelessly corrupt, cannot govern themselves, so we should let go and let god. I simply don't agree with it. That's not my position. But thanks for guessing badly again. And you...

Yea, and we get to the heart of the matter, religious extremism. No, and I figured you couldn't get past your stereotypes to get the analogy. But I figured others would understand the point. Including some of the atheists on this board, btw. You view politics as inherently sinful and anyone who wou...

cgdt Your system requires ideological perfection, it's not pragmatic. It assumes that we'll have gridlock 100% of the time, but that's not going to happen. Your methods of imperfect Gridlock ensure that it only gets worse as people define their hopes for political outcomes based around the notion o...

So far, it seems, social justice is: Something a 19th century jesuit said it meant in the context of the industrial age. Whatever billions of people who use it think it means, obviously . Achieving the status of a caged gerbil. A extremely localized version of federalism. Whatever it is, it loves co...

This is interesting. ... Over the last 4 years I have seen an unbelievable increase in the size of the industry. According to a FOIA we submitted to the NFA Branch of the BATFE, in 2008 there were just over 20,000 form 4 transfers for silencers. In 2011 they recorded over 50,000. Also, after asking...

I see this a lot these days but I'm not sure where one goes with it. It has no solution: neither party nor gridlock solve the above, so why would it change one's voting behavior? IOW, if the game is rigged, but it's the only one in town, what good does it do not to play, and lose your only shot? Co...

I'll give it a shot...

• Austerity: n. When your creditors turn off the spigot.
  
  • This works out well for the debtors, as they can then blame the consequences on their creditors.

Full Choke 20 gauge (Non Semi Automatic) they semi's jam when you need them the most. Don't saw it off because it will put too big a hole in the wall (Personal Experience). Do tell. ;) . Had a 20 gauge double barrel that had a defective firing pin and brought it to the gun smith (This is the same t...

Let me spell it out for those few of you with brains that cannot comprehend anything outside a binary set of conditions: Just because I don't support your wealthy and powerful minority's coercion doesn't mean I support the coercion by your opponent's wealthy and powerful minority. Oh, and please do ...

well in my world i get to choose between * those that want to bring in lots of new taxes and restrictions and standards that price me out of my own existence to save the world from c02 whilst neglecting to do anything about the environmental problems i actually do believe in (deforestation and wate...

Both parties are pathetic, but a distinct subset of the GOP are the worst of the worst in American politics today. This is just a reality that every non-right-wing-American (and maybe some Likudniks) in the world accepts. ROFLMAO, Ibrahim, you made my day, reminds me of a few people I know who coul...

I'm sorry. I thought the Constitution defined what the government ought to do/ be/ value. I don't remember stuff about private excesses and whatnot. ^ Antiquated notion. It's a living document, means whatever it needs to mean whenever it needs to mean it. Oh, and injustices happened under it. That ...

Any ideas? From this section of the board one starts to doubt it is good for anything. It seems there is one point of agreement among Demopublicans and Republicrats: the government should provide the community protection against external forces that aim to cause serious harm to human life and posse...

I had gotten about halfway through a long reply to Ibby, but lost it. :twisted: Short version now: Ibby , you and Tinker argue in bad faith. You both accused me of hatred, when you cannot possibly know that to be true. I owe neither of you anything, certainly not expanded explanation, but you can be...

If you're clearly drunk- as I would be on mandatory voting day. I mean drunk. Snot slinging, knee walking, crap - somebody- else's- pants kinda drunk- do they still make you vote? There could be a great deal of low- order comedy here. And I am only slightly serious. I think that as much as ideology...

Obama's incompetence is not a faith based narrative. It's an opinion based on solid evidence. A good president doesnt have his numbers, doesn't have a record of stranding his own team in legislation that he personally wanted; they don't get Shanghai'd by congressional leadership on their flagship e...
