I read that slogan and assumed it was going to be the fatties that complained.
I am having a problem with some moles, I wonder if ACE carries rocket mortars.Can't wait until rednecks are spending their paychecks blowing up nuclear bombs on July 4 rather than fireworks.
I'll make sure to get out of dodge in my billion dollar fully weaponized military grade fighter jet I pick up at the local dealership. Definitely need to do a lease vs buy analysis on that one.

So being poor is a personal choice by your logic. Those born into wealth are somehow harder working than their poor counterpart who was born into poverty?
I mean I know it's hard to believe, but there are actually poor people who work and work hard. They probably work harder than most rich people. If I have a million dollars I can invest that and become richer. Yet I didn't actually 'work hard' or have some inherent trait that automatically makes me a better person than a poor person who works hard every day but continues to be poor.
I agree with most of this post except for the implication that perpetual poverty has little to do with personal choices individuals make. Many people are born with the deck stacked against them. I was. Uneducated parents (maybe fifth grade). My dad was a coal miner who worked in many different non-unionized mines making enough to barely get by and often out of work. Mom of course stayed home and raised the kids. But Dad somehow had some personal pride and my mother was an incredible money manager (skinflint). There was no welfare to fall back on except the "commodities" available then and my dad was too proud to take even those.
I was the first in my family to complete high school. To do that was a personal choice. One other boy beside myself in my junior high class graduated high school. The other guys dropped out. Not only did I graduate but I actually studied and learned what I was taught - a personal choice. One has to do more than just show up and goof around.
So I graduated, found a good job, settled down and had a good life? Wrooong. Not only were there not any good jobs to be had but there were not even any bad jobs.
What to do? I faced a stacked deck. No job to be had and none foreseeable being brought in to the hills of Eastern Kentucky. Do I stay and remain with family and friends and live a life of poverty? Or do I leave all that behind, pack a suitcase and go someplace where I could possibly find a decent job?
A personal choice had to be made. I packed a suitcase, stood by the highway with my thumb stuck out and made my way 400 miles "up North" where there were good jobs to be had. I was fortunate enough to have a relative there to move in with until I could find a job and get established. I did find that good job and escaped poverty. This led to the other members of my family getting out of the poverty pocket.
In the USA everybody has a chance. Some are born on third base, some on second and some on first. But everyone not physically or mentally impaired gets to stand at home plate with a bat in their hand and with the ball coming across the strike zone.
Bugger off EPT.I think it’s pretty dumb that the 2 items that we talk about the most - guns and abortion - happen to be the 2 that are the least likely to undergo any overhaul in the foreseeable future.
1) nobody is taking your guns
2) abortion will remain legal
Let’s spend our energy on talking about things that can actually affect our lives. In many ways, This is exactly what Trump is doing - focusing on things that most Americans can relate to - safety, lower taxes, jobs, etc.
You're the one who needs to take the step back, not @cardkilla. Any of the billionaires like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates et al. have plenty enough money to buy the weapons you're talking about. You really think it's a good idea that an eccentric rich person has nukes and can cause global nuclear destruction on a whim? History teaches us that technology always reduces in price and size as time goes on. Down the road we should all be able to buy suitcase nukes?My goodness, do you ever take a step back and think about how stupid you sound?
Yes, if nuclear bombs are mass marketed for thousands of dollars, I think it will be as important as ever that Americans have access. Fortunately, I don't think Hilary has enough uranium to sell to any bomb manufacturers to bring the price down that much.
Except for all of the legislators and 'activists' trying to do just that.1) nobody is taking your guns

A year ago I would have agreed with John but the rhetoric we are seeing right now is another level.Except for all of the legislators and 'activists' trying to do just that.

The point wasn’t that we should RESTRICT the second amendment to keep people from having nukes, the point was that the second amendment is ALREADY limited. I’ve never even heard of someone arguing that the second amendment applies to all arms including nukes and I live in a very conservative area. Your only argument against the parkland shooter legally buying nukes is that he doesn’t have the money. You think it’s a constitutional right for a citizen to privately own nuclear weapons and you’re calling ME a lunatic.Listen to yourself, you unhinged lunatic.
You are scared that Bill Gates or Warren Buffett is going to buy a nuclear bomb and blow up the world if we don't restrict the Second Amendment.
Do you realize how goddam stupid you two sound?
We need to restrict the Second Amendment, because if not an eccentric American billionaire might buy a nuclear bomb and blow the world up. Christ.
God you people have fallen off the deep end.
Thank goodness for President Donald Trump.

and all that got wiped out 1 day later. The market is now as bipolar as Cheeto face.@Platinumdrgn , hang in there maybe another bad day coming

So what you're saying is, you love Cardkilla. LolEver since that Jordan Peterson interview went viral I now read cardkillas dramatic strawman shitposting in that dumb britbitch's voice
SHALLThe 2nd amendment was unfortunately very poorly written so it's completely up to federal courts to decide how far to allow the restrictions to go.
And your equally simple response was this:I mean why can't Americans have nuclear weapons?
I think you need to quit calling other people crazy and turn that lens inward. How many people if you walked up to them on the street would agree with the statement, "The 2nd Amendment guarantees me the constitutional right to own a nuclear weapon."?I fully agree with you that an American should be able to buy whatever the hell they want.
and all that got wiped out 1 day later. The market is now as bipolar as Cheeto face.
you forget the well regulated part. so as long as the government allows you to have a BB gun your right to bear arms isn't infringed. not infringed doesn't mean as much as you want and anything you want. It just means you have to have access to at least some kind of "arms". The amendment should have been more specific on the militias and on how far they wanted "shall not be infringed" to go. did they want the populace to have cannons or just muskets? did they want the militias to be what has now turned into the national guard? that would give our current society a better framework to work with.SHALL
NOT
BE
INFRINGED
