No one has ever died in history because of what someone has said; it takes an action to kill a man, not a word. There is no D&D-like "powerword: kill" in our reality. If I say "kill this man and I'll give you a million dollars" it is not my words that killed that man but the choice of a person to ...

@blumandolin I wouldn't be surprised at that much, and just a few days ago I did a post about a few Republicans who went along with gun control measures, disturbing indeed.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 12, 2018:
@blumandolin You're leaving out one critical detail there, and that would be Obama did push consistently for more gun control measures, that was the point Trajan was trying to make and he was right, no one could deny Obama desired for more gun control measures. Whether he was successful or not at passing more laws was not the point, and the Republican House/Senate majority ultimately saved law abiding gun owners from Obama's bad ideas.

@Elganned You misunderstood my comment, while I do not personally care to ever indulge in recreational drug use, I do not find such to be immoral. There are consequences for all actions, you and I both know that. I don't think the government has a right to put restrictions on such. What I said was true though, now that it's legal there will be more users, but no one ever said free will is without consequence. See, this is where I disagree with the progressives. Alot of the same people who are for the legalization of cannabis are also alot of the same folks who are against citizens owning certain types of firearms. In short, doesn't matter how much I may personally be against something, I still think everyone has the right to make their own decisions with way less government influence. Grant it, the conservatives are guilty of doing the same where that's concerned at times, the religious zealots in particular often ruin it for the secular conservatives, but not quite in the same manner as the progressive crowd does though. In their quest for social justice etc, the progressives are slowly becoming the enemy that of which they claim to be fighting against, the fun part is most of them are blissfully unaware of such. No amount of laws will ever curb ill behaviors, I'm waiting for both political sides to come to the same realization. I say live your life as you please provided you are not infringing on the life of another, so give em' all the weed they want.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 11, 2018:
@Elganned In the days of the wild west, any towns that prohibited firearms still did not deter criminals from bringing guns into town. By the way, when I was in school and learned about history from that time period, I was taught many towns back then prohibited the carrying of guns within town limits.
So, let's look at "Socialism". Maybe, say South America... How's about Venezuela?

As with anything it's far more nuanced than that and is much more authoritarianism than any other ism. I'm not defending it or advocating for any system, just encouraging/challenging understanding of the issue beyond simple memes and broad brushed statements.
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 11, 2018:
I understand where you're coming from on that much, but some of us in this group sometimes just need to vent a little, at times it gets to be a drag seeing the same political rhetoric on the public threads, and aside from the fact there are multiple progressive liberal groups on this site who spew garbage talk. So some of us may post a meme or two for some laughs etc. I think it's better to do that and express yourself as opposed to keeping it inside. If someone posts a meme I disagree with, I just ignore it and move on most of the time. Please also know that I'm not taking sides here either. That's the main purpose for this group, for conservative leaning individuals to chat with each other and vent a little. I mostly do posts on political issues, but that doesn't mean everyone else in this group has to do the same...

You know how you had mentioned about no one is coming for your guns, that it's jusr a bunch of paranoia?

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 7, 2018:
@CaroleKay Hi Carole, don't have alot of time at the moment so figured I'd tag you in this post. Since the conservative group was handed down to me I've received multiple hate messages in private from sock puppet accounts that suggested everything from walking off of a cliff to gargling on shards of glass, all due to the group I host. Since I could not determine who exactly was behind the dummy accounts, I resorted to blocking anyone who had detailed in their bios any hint of disdain toward conservative-leaning individuals, which is why I had blocked and banned you from the conservative group based on what you mentioned in your bio and figured you would never want to converse with me in the first place. The conservative group has been a favored target of trolls, and for months in a row almost on a daily basis I dealt with someone joining the group just to stir up trouble, and after awhile it got to be too much. I didn't come to this site to give anyone else a headache, so I figured blocking was the best route to go, but do know that I never had anything personal against you or any other progressive-leaning individual on this site. Truth be told, I'm not a far-right conservative nor am I a Republican, Libertarian best describes my political stance. There are members on here who I would consider friends and quite a few of them are liberal leaning, Shelton being one of them. Again, the last thing I want is to be a problem to anyone on this site, and at times on here can be most unwelcoming to views that do not align with the liberal left, so I stick to visiting posts/groups where I know the convos are a bit more neutral. I'm well aware of GuyKeith's post in the Senate group over me having him blocked and thus he can't see anything I post in that group, and in light of the recent drama in that group I'm considering dropping out, that way I guess neither him or Pralina won't have to worry anymore about seeing my posts as I won't be in the group anymore. With that much said, if you still do hate me or consider me a conservative troll, I understand, the choice to block me again is still yours.

We keep losing longer term members - some who were top contributors.
Bierbasstard comments on Oct 11, 2018:
What is wrong with these "lost" members flagging the comments, blocking that member, and continuing the conversation with whom they choose to speak with? Let @Admin "handle" that.
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 7, 2018:
@RavenCT I had started a cyber security/awareness group back in early May, but hardly anyone was interested, about the same ten or so individuals participated, and I eventually handed that group to someone else and last I heard it got retired.

MikeFlora comments on Oct 12, 2018:
I see my post drew attention I didn't mean for it to have. I wasn't saying bored in a bad way, probably "talked out" is a better term. Some of the groups have a life span, you can talk a subject to death, there is nothing left to talk about, which is what I meant when I said the newness has wore ...
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 7, 2018:
@MikeFlora This is the first I'm getting to view this post as I no longer have Raven blocked. Thank you for the kind (and diplomatic) comment, and personally I don't consider anyone on this site an enemy regardless of how much I may disagree with their political stances.

TheMiddleWay comments on Dec 6, 2018:
Like the whole "It's cold outside" debacle... people have too much time on their hands and thus complain about the most trivial of things, elevating them to some big deal to make themselves feel better.
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 6, 2018:
Did you just say it's cold outside? It sure is where I live. Now I'm offended, you just had to mention it being cold outside, now did you? Just kidding Middleway, all is good;)

Ty for the info. I hate to jump ship, but I agree, you can't have a logical discussion on here if you're conservative. You are just a backwards neanderthal, and don't deserve any respect or consideration of your argument's logic.
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 6, 2018:
@jondspen Every point that @Trajan61 mentioned above I agree with as well. The classic liberals don't concern me as much as the progressive liberals do, for the latter of the two are motivated by political correctness which in turn has been hurting our country.

jondspen comments on Dec 5, 2018:
This group is much more reasonable than the general member population. I have actually disagreed with people in here and was still able to have adult dialogue! Yes....shocking IK :D
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 5, 2018:
This is NOT a politically correct group, which would explain the lack of arguing, the kind of arguing that takes place often on the public threads or even in other groups.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 5, 2018:
Quite a few of us in this group while leaning to the right, also understand Libertarian views as well, which is why you won't for the most part find yourself arguing with radicals. Glad to hear you like this group.
Thought I'd check you guys out.
SpikeTalon comments on Dec 5, 2018:
It is on this site anyway, no shortage of conservative bashing.
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 5, 2018:
@norealgod You're right about that, and for the most part the liberals don't bother me, it's those who identify as progressives that concern me.

This is a wonderful site. I love it and enjoy the community. As in any community there are going to be immature individuals that handle things in a manner that you disagree with. Don't let them discourage you.

I can understand how you feel, a big reason why I don't bother as much with the public threads anymore, the same boring (and divisive at times) topics are brought up. The level points have become a diversion, and being that scammers and trolls could start multiple dummy accounts kind of makes me ...
SpikeTalon replies on Dec 5, 2018:
@RavenCT Being that Agnostic.com is available both as a site and app, I think Admin could only do so much to curb spammers. When dealing only with apps, certain authentication measures could be put in place to limit scam accounts, with sites I heard that's not as easy. I wouldn't feel good either just bailing and sticking my groups on someone else, but I suppose if one member didn't want to host a group they could either ask another member if they are interested or ask SiteSupport to retire the group. I already know I won't be able to go on forever, eventually given enough time going by if I haven't deleted my account on here I'll probably at least pause it.

@bingst You're probably right about that.
I'm new here and senile as well so this may seem like a silly question: how close is the connection ...
SpikeTalon comments on Dec 4, 2018:
Hellbent, that you again? So far from what I can tell, there's not much difference between Humanist and Agnostic.com, I think the same profile could be shared on both sites. There might be a setting to hide your profile from showing up on Humanist.com, not sure though.

SpikeTalon comments on Dec 4, 2018:
The points system on here is a joke as anyone could have multiple dummy accounts in which to game the system, and those complaining about being blocked need to get a life. I heard some guy in the Senate group was complaining about me last night for blocking him, haha unreal. Quite a few folks on ...

Haha, the individual who commented on this post first has me blocked, and I don't care either, she even banned me from like four groups.
Looking for recommendations for pistols.
SpikeTalon comments on Dec 3, 2018:
9mm's are always a decent pick, a balance of good stopping power at short-medium distance, pistols chambered for that round often do not have strong recoil when firing, and the ammo itself is not too expensive. If for the most part you are only looking to purchase two pistols, getting similar ones ...

I'd hate to jump as well, but never know how things will go down the road, and a handful of conservative members on here already had their accounts deleted, and that's not counting the ones who willingly left due to not being able to stand this site.

LenHazell53 comments on May 30, 2018:
In the 50's and 60's in the Uk it was common to hear parents call their child "a cheeky monkey" or a "daft apeth" it was actually quite endearing.

If you’re trying to downplay Roseanne’s recent episode I don’t believe you are as clever as you think. There is no doubt she meant it as an insult. I’m happy her show was canceled. Any more challenging riddles? Gonna find someone intelligent to speak with. Bye
