What's your condiment of choice?

Leutrelle comments on Mar 9, 2018:

Medicare Data Reveal $564 Million Wasted On Chiropractors And Osteopathic Manipulation

Leutrelle comments on Mar 9, 2018:

**I was amazed when insurance companies started treating chiropractors as if they were legitiment Medical. In my opinion that is a belief base therapy. I spent my fair share until the treatments casued more problems than they cured. I had a severe neck injury on I think the C4 vertrabe. The chropractor ended up causing me probably 6 months of severe pain. I will not let one touch me now! **Some people really believe this treatment is the best cure for anything. From digestion problems to addictions, and not to mention the back issue. If I wait in a small room and some one comes in with a doctor's jacket on,,, then it seems we are trained to believe them. So many of us have been duped.**

Do you think that conservatives and liberals have any common ground to meet in the middle when it ...

Leutrelle comments on Mar 9, 2018:

I would like to see more healthy discussion on these and other issues. We have common ground, but everybody wants a home run. We have to quit demonizing the opposing argument. In an ideal debating environment it is possible, but with social media, and all the other media it leaves me with a bleak outlook for meaningful discussion.

Don't go into the 'Gun Control Now' forum.

Leutrelle comments on Mar 8, 2018:

I can concur with you that some of these people might hate the second amendment, but probably I would be wrong. Most of them just disagree withe the interpretation of the that law. I think few if any would hate the entire constitution. I would rather put those who think the Government into the naive category. I do believe that we are the first responders. If we witness an accident do we wait for those in uniform to help? If we are threatened with deadly force, are we supposed to wait for people in uniform to help us? No we still need minute mend women today.

When you actually say “conservative atheist” aloud doesn’t it sound like an oxymoron?

Leutrelle comments on Mar 8, 2018:

I can tell you there is norm for happyness. Some people are way more happy than others. I am on the less happy scale. My wife is on the happy side of the scale. Maybe that is why we have commedians. Another thing for mood is that it changes with time as do the reflections of our mind:)

Is there something to psychedelics?

Leutrelle comments on Mar 8, 2018:

I have ample experience with LSD, Mescaline, and Mushrooms, and at least 50 pounds of pot, and and a few OZ's of opium. In my experience the psychedelics do have an evect that seems unworldly. Your mind is connected to answers that would take many sessions with talk theraphy. I have had ESP experiences under the influence. It is not for everone, but it has it's place.

I have one question for all you inbred rednecks that think more guns is the answer to all problems.

Leutrelle comments on Mar 8, 2018:

You forget the number of guns there are in this country, and that means gun owners. You underestimate the fight that gun owners are willing to use to defend their right to own an AR. The amount of deaths contributed to the AR are small compared to the hand gun. If there is ever a civil breakdown for what ever reason then you might be glad your neighbor has an AR. A civilian gun has one main purpose: Defense, not Assault.

For those people here who own guns. What is your top 3 guns (rifles & pistols mainly)?

Leutrelle comments on Mar 2, 2018:

My top gun is the AR15. It is very accurate and easy to shoot. It cost about 30 cents per shot. I like my Franco over and under 20 gauge shot gun. It is light and targets quickly. It runs about 40 cents per shot. I love my BabyEagle 45 ACP. It is accurate, and a safe carry weapon. It costs about 40 cents per shot. I can reload and that reduces the cost by 50%. I hope this helps.

What's something that has never (or will never) changed about you?

Leutrelle comments on Mar 2, 2018:

My love for nature. As a child I was constantly digging up differant bugs, catching tadpols, and any kind of fish. I remember finding a cacoon, and knew it contained life because it was wiggling. *I did the wrong thing, and cut it open with my pocket knife. Out came the most beautiful Monarch butterfly that climbed on to a bush that I had choosen. It sat there for a while and moved it's wings slowly, and then it would rest. In about 20 minutes it flew away. It was wonderful. I feel at peace when I am in nature:)*

What does it mean to be a conservative atheist to you?

Leutrelle comments on Mar 1, 2018:

I believe in the right to own an Ar 15, and fuck magazine limits. I believe we should give homeless people a hand up. I believe that we should have term limits. I believe we should not have taxation with out representation. I believe in a lot of the common since ideas. I believe in in a strong well paying economy. Let me know if you need more defining:)

I still regret that I didn't pull the trigger. He beat my brother and sister too. I could take the the beating easier than watching him beat my siblings.
