Things are changing. I see this as a potential tipping point I have been waiting (and working) for, for 30+ years!! Lets make the gun industry and the NRA account for all their evil crap.
Marine replies on Mar 24, 2018:
Responsible people can be trusted with guns .The problem is finding them. Back ground checks are only good at time of purchase. There needs to be some monitoring system imposed. Domistic violence should automatically require the gun owner to give up guns at time a police report is filed also license. Those with mental problems should by family action require all guns to be removed from the individual or locked in a safe approved by a police visit. and deny access to them. A three year review of license should be conducted. I belong to a gun club 1000 strong . for 14 years and there has not been one gun related incident among the members during this time. Most agree to having more restrictions and some NRA guys do not. There are some in every crowd..

Marine replies on Mar 14, 2018:
I have avocated for finger print triggers ever since they became available. Anyone owning a gun for self defense would probably be killed by an intruder before they could make the decision to shoot. One needs the mentality to shoot someone besides having the gun . Most do not have that ability. Back ground checks are only good at time of purchase. A requalification for a license should be every three years and a license should be federal. The registered militia is the National Guard. A medical should be part of the 3 years renewal.

Did you know that it has been proven that everyone lies?
NothinnXpreVails comments on Mar 12, 2018:
I wonder if everyone lies to themselves...

I don't bother with political correctness. I just get on with my life say what I want, if I offend them, that's their problem not mine. After all, what is politiclly correct one day, might not be politically correct the next.
Marine replies on Mar 13, 2018:
Tell what to say. I have never used the words you point out.

MollyBell comments on Mar 12, 2018:
No, it hasn't gone too far. The main takeaway of political correctness is not to be an asshole, misogynist, racist, or ableist, so no. It's not gone too far at all.
Marine replies on Mar 13, 2018:
You still have not told me what to say. I have never used any of the words you described!

We need laws to end the corruption in our government which allow private indutries to buy our elected officials through campaign contributions and whatever other crooked shit they're up to... The problem is, those same crooked politicians who are the problem are also the ones we need to fix the ...

The people have been trying the politicians won't comply. We need a public review board that can censure or impeach candidates that constantly vote against the majorities desires.

It was declared by someone implicated in wrongdoing that no wrongdoing was done. I am not surprised by the nunes move at all. He did not inform the democrats of this announcement, and I expect they do not support it. The two reasons I can think of for this is To sway the Pennsylvania ...

If you are a conservative, do consider insulting the president a personal attack on you?

Say whatever you want to say, you are entitled to your opinion. I may agree or disagree. I definitely agree that Trump is a dangerous arsehole who conned a lot of people into believing that he has their values.

Is there such a thing as too much kindness?
mordant comments on Mar 13, 2018:
Depends on how you define kindness and empathy. If someone is being kind to you it doesn't mean you'll never hear a discouraging word and have total agreement. If someone empathizes with you it doesn't mean they don't hold you responsible for what is legitimately your personal responsibility. I ...

Should ther be term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court?
Marine comments on Mar 11, 2018:
I believe two terms for senators and three for representatives is enough because I feel that we should have a conscious flow of new ideas in our government that relates to the changing times. As for the Supreme Court I again feel a retirement age of 72 is more than enough time to serve.These ...

The term "ladies" Any other women here cringe when they see this?
Marine comments on Mar 11, 2018:
It has gotten to the point that I do not know what term or terms are proper to use any more. if I do not know their name it seems I should just turn away. The same thing goes for opening a door today. I am going to only open them for gentlemen only after the verbal lashing I got from the last lady I...

I don't think term limits woudl chang emuch in congress or hte senate. If you want to change things, go about changing how campaigns are financed so the rich and special interests dont' have undue influence, and outlaw Gerrymandering. I have no problems with special interests lobbying congress,...

zeuser comments on Mar 11, 2018:
It's you know certain things are offensive to certain people, think of a better way to say it. If you don't know, say whatever you want, you'll find out if it pisses someone off soon enough, then adjust. And here's the thing, if anyone calls anyone a name, you can't learn a thing from that ...
Marine replies on Mar 12, 2018:
I never thought calling someone a lady was inappropriate
Ok what do I say/?
Jameson comments on Mar 11, 2018:
Just yesterday there was a post on here about women don't want to be called ladies or girls so you're already politially incorrect. Bahaha. It's always something I say ladies or I call young ladies girls sometimes because I'm old. I never heard before yesterday of anyone being offended by that.
Marine replies on Mar 12, 2018:
Now you have and I was chewed out for opening a door for what I thought was a lady!

SamKerry comments on Mar 11, 2018:
Maybe it's best just not to say anything anymore - if you will feel offended by other people feeling offended. :p

Gnarloc comments on Mar 11, 2018:
This is a double edged sword: Without term limits we have experts who know the system and can accomplish the goal of running the government with efficiency. These experts teach newcomers about the system and create new experts. That is the 'pro' side of this argument. The 'con' side is that we...
Marine replies on Mar 12, 2018:
If they cannot learn in two and three years they have no business being there. These guys and ladies have been there forever and they still cannot get anything done. With new blood this might not happen and with term limits they might just vote for the people and not for their welfare.
Government Tyranny

It has happened. There are numerous examples of the US government repressing civil liberties by force. The union movement is a perfect example.
