The funny part in all this is the fact that most who are complaining about the wall live in homes which you guessed it, have walls in which to protect them. The mainstream medias say the wall is ...
SpikeTalon replies on Jan 27, 2019:
@Countrywoman How about a combination of both wall and other technology? I keep hearing from some folks that we should be using other technological means, but they don't realize that technology can and has failed, so I wouldn't advise relying on that either. My overall views align best with the Libertarians, neither more left or right there. My individual rights only end if I were to be a direct threat to another, so I disagree with you on the last part there.
Well, you heard it folks.

C'mon, @SpikeTalon If you read the original research they're warning us that in 12 years that global warming might accelerate and be almost impossible to stop....if we don't take corrective measures now. Read the research...here it is, in the conservative "Guardian".
Now, can we live without ice?...

@MikeFlora Who says english teachers are always right? Most of them these days are Democrats, so would you rationally expect them to say otherwise. The last part is clear as crystal- the RIGHT of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Doesn't say anything about militias only being able to own arms, except to have one in order to keep a free state. Those who are desperate enough to get their way will seek out any potential technicality in which to justify their positions. We're just going in circles again dammit...

@MikeFlora I know that argument they try to make, and its been debunked many times over. All that implies is that a militia is necessary, please read the second part of the 2A as it debunks that claim weapons were only for militia members. For years now I've been fighting for my rights and shall continue to do so, and have thought about starting my own local militia, but time hasn't been on my side. I don't agree with you on the abortions part, and so far Kavanaugh has been friendly towards reproductive rights. You do know recently the state of NY passed legislation protecting a woman's right to an abortion right up to the end until birth actually takes place, that sounds like abortion rights are still intact, more fearmongering from the left on that much. By the way, given how much time you have spent in this group, thought you would have realized by now most of us in this group are pro choice when it comes to a woman's reproductive choices, and there shouldn't be much surprise there as I've long maintained secular conservatives have differences from religious ones. Correct on the last part, the citizens do need to engage in politics more, most of those who are supposedly fighting for our rights have long become corrupt, they are mostly in it for themselves.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 27, 2019:
@MikeFlora Less regulations would be because of smaller government, as once government would be smaller is size there wouldn't be as much time to dedicate to thinking up more legislation. So thus I am indeed for smaller government. Republicans aren't the only ones who screw people, Democrats do as well, and right now as I'm typing this response to you the Democrats out there in positions of power are dreaming up new ways to tax the citizens and minimize individual rights. How much do you know about Libertarianism, and please be honest in your answer? We don't need government to regulate things, the citizens are more than capable of coming together to deal with such situations or any other threats. Additionally, some of us are against excess regulation as it is far too easy for someone to ignore such if they so choose, we refer to people like that as criminals. You know, people who disregard laws and legislation. Regarding Trump, there's probably more to that than what you mentioned above, and keep in mind there are and have been workers who manipulate the system in which to collect benefits. At my first job I could think of at least four guys who gamed the system by pretending to be seriously injured once they had an accident on the job, and they were far from being seriously injured. You think that's a wonderful thing? Workers gaming the system like that, and then complain about Trump wanting to do something about it? You never hear that side of the story though, because well the Democrats don't want people to think that much on issues like that. Bottom line, doesn't matter what legislation/regulations you pass, there will always be someone who finds a way around things or totally disregard the laws. We're going in circles here again...

Join the club. I saw your one post in the progressive group, talk about an emotional response. Nowadays progressive liberals go to pieces over someone staring down another. By the way, since that video first went viral more details on that story have come out and things aren't as they initially appeared to be. While I'm not nearly as emotional as some are, I do have my moments and admit such. Those however who claim to be independent thinkers (self aware) alot of the times turn out to be anything but, based on my observations over the years, and I do find that much to be mildly amusing.

Since you claim we don't know either way as to how useful background checks are, I'd say then you aren't qualified either to suggest opposite of what I claimed, that works both ways there. My point was that background checks do not stop criminals when it comes to acquiring firearms, anything else you mentioned strayed off topic. To answer your last question, yes, they are pointless as well. I'll use the driver's license as an example. What makes you think just because I pass a test that in the future I wouldn't break any traffic laws? Again I say, background checks when it comes to firearms would not stop someone with ill intent, as it's far too easy to dupe such checks.

You just contradicted yourself. If they fail even some of the times, they are not reliable then. All criminals at one point had clean records until they committed the first offense.

Trump talked about Mexico paying for the wall later on, when he was running for President it was all about just getting a wall built to protect our border. Based on how much this country spends altogether, do you honestly think that a little over 5 billion for the wall is alot of money? You say it's...
SpikeTalon replies on Jan 23, 2019:
@MikeFlora You missed my point. Obama no longer being President doesn't matter, his ACA is still negatively affecting Americans like me long after he left office. I don't care what side you're on either, I do however think it's ridiculous to focus your ire on one man when in reality most politicians are wasting taxpayer money. You don't want a wall, I do, so that's a moot point. I think there are more people for building the wall than what the medias would have us believe, polls are known to be skewed. I have no hard feelings either, but will respond accordingly when I think only one side is being presented. Again, if you had any sense of justice you'd recognize that both major political parties play games and are holding the citizens hostage.

I hope you can handle criticism by the way, you just had to do a post like that. Do know that I will not for one moment stop the other members in this group from having their say on the matter, and some of them may very well unload on you more than I did...

Fun Fact. Out of the 15 most prolific Users (number of points) at Agnostic, 3 have me blocked. I have no idea why. That is a lot of holes in the message base.

@GuyKeith Okay, figured there was some mistake there. I saw those comments you referred to.

What do you think of raising the level to contact other members to level 4 or 5?
SpikeTalon comments on Jan 23, 2019:
As long as people could create multiple accounts and nothing is done about it, I have a feeling that won't be enough. For example, someone could create two accounts and use one to help build points fast on the other, and even 10,000 points is not difficult to reach in a short amount of time.
SpikeTalon replies on Jan 23, 2019:
@TheMiddleWay It appears some of them are going undetected though, and oddly enough some of the longtime members on here have more than one account, and one guy even had the nerve to tell me he could use his newer account to troll others.

@GuyKeith Fair enough, but if that be the case I still wonder why you made such a big deal over being banned from the other groups then? Also, why did you link above to an unknown account?

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 23, 2019:
@GuyKeith Please rationally explain how that's a "fun" fact? Nothing really fun about having/wanting to block someone. Anyway, I'm replying to your comment here as I know you had commented on one of my posts to test to see if everyone could see each other in this group now, and I wouldn't want you to think I was ignoring you. Upon backtracking a bit in this group to read comments on some posts, I didn't realize that so many folks got offended over someone else blocking them. Last I checked I'm now banned from seventeen groups, and knowing such doesn't bother me in the least, and in fact I find such to be mildly amusing. Personally, I don't block or ban someone due to being offended, I block mostly due to being disinterested in the topics some folks tend to drone on endlessly about, using the block function as a filter so to speak. My monthly smartphone data plan has limited data, and this app tends to consume considerable data, so when I block someone whose posts I'm not interested in that saves my data. Do know that aside from one individual on here who I take exception to, I've never had any complaint or grudge with someone I blocked or banned on here. With that said, apparently most of those who were upset over me banning them from the conservative and pro gun rights groups are not aware of the fact that I host a third group which is also for conservatives, and at present time no one is banned from that group. I take it you know Mike Flora, the host of the gun control group, right? Well, he's a member of my gun group (and now also the conservative group), and awhile back I had said it was okay if he wanted to ask two or so members from his group who were interested in debating to come join my group, but he hasn't been online much lately and so that never happened. I'd be willing to let a few opposing viewpoints in the third group I had mentioned, and if I had anyone blocked I'd consider unblocking if they join said group with the intent to debate politely. I'm not as unreasonable as some of the gossip crowd on here would have you believe. By the way, word travels rather fast on this site and alot of members know who hangs with who on here, so by all means do share this with your buddies Pralina and Maturin1919. The third group I host is not hard to find in the search. I've said my piece, now the rest is up to you to decide on.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 22, 2019:
Some on here get really offended if you block or ban them from groups. There are around 3-4 individuals in particular who appear to hang with each other on here who got upset over me banning them from two groups I host. What they apparently have yet to figure out is that I host a third group in which at present time no one is banned, and it's a conservative group. If they wanted to get that nosy as to what we conservatives discuss, they could join that group. I don't plan on banning anyone from that group unless they harass fellow members or troll, but I'll let them figure out which group I'm referring to...

Of course I posted this on the main politics board. I will probably refrain from commenting on it there because the socialist 'feels' will not allow anyone to see how dangerous her inaccuracies and identity politics are.

I saw that post and some of the comments it received, not surprised at the reactions you got. The socialists refuse to accept that Occasionally Coherent is a radical that has been wrong when it comes to facts.

@RavenCT This is all I can find on them now- https://60milemen.typepad.com/main/calendarsales.html and you would see 2013 was the cutoff date. I had more chats with my neighbor over if she knew about any similar groups that were local, but she wasn't aware of any directly related charity drives. Nowadays I just donate money to Susan G Komen, the last few years I've had a rather hectic work schedule and mostly likely wouldn't have the time to dedicate to such endeavors as I mentioned above. Still, never know what the future has in store though, work schedules can and do change...
