Supreme Court deals major blow to public employee labor unions
azzow2 comments on Jun 30, 2018:
That is interesting. If it went retroactive would the fees need to reimburse? On the converse is it going to make unions have to increase the regular dues and what effect will that have?
SpikeTalon replies on Jun 30, 2018:
@azzow2 I once worked in a private union as well, and got treated fairly.

How do you feel about taxes?
SpikeTalon replies on Jun 30, 2018:
Theft for the most part, especially when said taxes go to fund social/welfare programs. The US Government was not setup to be like a charity, which is why independently run charities exist. Taxation is a factor that spurred the Revolution.

@dellik No, politics and religion in reality do not mix. The problem lies in the fact that certain religious factions have infiltrated our politics, in particular the GOP. You want there to be more atheist conservatives like me to challenge the religious wingnuts that attempt to influence politics, believe me on that. I pay attention to details. The last part of your original comment is still inaccurate, not all of us conservatives are tainted by religious influence, and as I said before evangelical christianity has invaded both parties.

SpikeTalon replies on Jun 28, 2018:
Not referring to how much he spent to build it, but how he treated people, in this case casino patrons. Year after year that place was booming because Trump knew what his customers wanted, and the comps I used to get were incredible. The sale in 2016 had quite a bit to do with the owner at the time who was not Trump, and by that time I had stopped going there once Trump handed the reins over to another.

The way I see it, there are enough argumentative malcontents on this site and I just don't think it necessary to contribute to said hostility, thus for the most part I have been content sticking to the groups. I opened my new group up to accomodate some opposing views, and I anticipate I'll be kept busy with that, so bothering with the public feed alot is not really a priority for me.

@SkotlandSkye Pennsylvania is an interesting state...and somewhat weird as well in regards to some of the laws. I like the fact I live in a gun rights friendly state, unlike most of the neighboring ones. State controlled liquor sales has always been a sticking point for me, government overreach writ large there. Curiosity abounds...did you attend and graduate from high school in eastern PA? If you didn't want to answer that here, I understand and all good.

Perhaps I think too much and the thoughts get cobbled together? I once read a story about some woman who had 64 distinct personalities, that would drive me bonkers. I wouldn't know if I was coming or going, and imagine getting up in the morning and fighting with yourself over what to wear? I'm sorry to hear that about your mother by the way, no human being should ever have to endure such an ailment. Being that you apologized over a prior joke tells me you are truly a decent human being, so all good there Duke.

@Charles1971 I contend both sides are self serving. You confuse conservatives with religious idiots, the latter of which have burned books and stifle free speech. You're somewhat right, Democrats these days are not liberal...they are progressive, big difference and why I do not care for them. When it comes to free speech, there are no limitations besides direct threats to welfare, do you know why? Ever hear that saying sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me? So called "hate speech" can only bother someone if they let it, it's best to ignore folks like that. Also, who gets to determine what constitutes hate speech? Big government and military are two different things, so stop mixing them. No, liberals these days are for more government spending and higher taxes, not the other way around. I contend that deep down inside most human beings are selfish and care about self preservation, study natural selection sometime, but of course most human beings do not want to admit that to face reality that we are wired to preserve the self. Too much political correctness. I don't care what other people do or how they survive, that is their business to support themselves, and I'm tired of socialist criminals stealing from me to give to the dregs of society, I don't see how they are any different than those horrible rich people you were talking about. So I disagree with you, and no fucking bleeding heart progressive liberal jackasses are going to silence my voice, I'm tired of getting bashed for offering different ideas. During my time on this site I have observed most on here lean heavily to left, and the amount of prejudice and intolerance they have shown to opposing views is anything short of appalling and hardly what they claim to be...all loving and accepting. I honestly don't care anymore about what others think, trying to be fair and open minded got me nowhere, I just want to be left alone now.

SpikeTalon replies on Jun 26, 2018:
@MikeFlora Nothing makes me better than anyone else, so what gives someone the right to tell me what I can and cannot own in what is supposed to be a free country? What is this, the nanny state now? Since when does someone owning something automatically threaten another? We have enough oversight in this country. People don't need alot of things in life, but they have them anyway. What I own isn't nor ever should be anyone else's business. The thing that gets me is that no one suggests disarming those in government, and that's what I find to be hypocrisy. Why trust them over another, we're all human afterall. These weapons exist, that is reality, and no one could just wish them out of existence. Gun control doesn't work in alot of other countries, they experience gun crime just like us, ask Lancer about that the next time he is on. Besides, that's a rather moot point because other countries do not live under the US Constitution like we do. You are literally opening up a Pandora's Box and don't realize it, which is what concerns me. The instant we start suggesting limiting or taking away rights or even just restricting rights without due process we go down a dark path of no return. Once they put restrictions on gun ownership, what comes next, did you ever ask yourself that? No one should have to be afraid in society, but this isn't a dreamworld where everyone gets along with each other, this is reality, and in reality there will be evil people who seek to do harm. If you are afraid then arm yourself, and if someone does not trust themselves with guns that is a personal issue then, just don't tell others what they can and cannot own. I'm a free man who bothers no one and seeks to harm no one, no one has the right to put limitations on me. I need to get back to sleep, someone needs to start another post or something as this one is getting too long. The main focus here should be gun control vs no gun control.

No one is censoring you here Mike, you have been free to state your mind and others have been free to state theirs and counter your claims. I'm not pointing fingers here, I think I'm done with that long ago. I also don't personally call you a gun hater, just one who is for gun control because that would be accurate. Please keep in mind that both sides need to be reasonable, I have tried to explain things too in the past and the gun control crowd assumes things about me that are not true, so I know how you feel as I'm in the same boat.

When our military goes in, it goes in to win by as dramatic a margin as possible. As they should. When they go in they go in with weapons such as is pictured above. They don't go in with "defense" weapons. And they sure don't go in wielding six shot wheel guns. That's no coincidence, they know...
SpikeTalon replies on Jun 26, 2018:
@MrLink Thank you for taking the time to answer, and I have a good picture of where you are coming from now. I understand there are some people who do not associate with "ists" and "isms" because titles and names are a part of what is dividing this country. While I do not exactly care for Mr Trump as an individual, I do mostly approve of his job performance to date and firmly believe by the end of his term those who are spreading doomsday scenarios around will realize they were being too dramatic. I'm convinced hardly anything these days are what they appear to be at first glance, and I do not trust most reporting from most mainstream media sources, because if you dig deep enough you would find money is their motivator and not truth. I don't think I have to mention this, but my overall politics do lean heavily to the right. If it wasn't for religious idiots influencing the GOP on certain issues such as reproductive rights among a few other social issues, they would be a more well liked party then they are at present time. With that said, I am not a Republican though, registered Independent because the two party system has got to go. I think socialism is a horrible system for this country, but perhaps that could be a topic of discussion for another time. I mostly asked that question due to the fact that this group has been a favorite target of trolls and I'm more than a little leery whenever someone new joins. Most folks in this group wish to be left alone and free to post on whatever is on their mind minus the trolling, like every group on here should be like. I'm perfectly fine with what you mentioned, sounds like you are a balanced individual, and personally speaking I try to be accepting of all views regardless of the fact I find myself at constant odds with lib progressives. Thank you for clarifying your stance, this has been most interesting, and even if you do not see eye-to-eye with us in this group always I appreciate you taking an interest in our group.

Seeing how UK, EU, Oz...have had a net decrease in murder but still an increase in non-gun murders yet are now pushing to ban knives, it's hard to think banning guns will be the magic bullet (pun intended) so many think it will.

SpikeTalon replies on Jun 26, 2018:
@MikeFlora Maybe you personally would not have to worry about such, but there have been plenty of cases where kids got their hands on car keys took the family car for a joyride and ending in disaster. That truly is a poor comparison.

@MikeFlora In a free country no one should be able to tell another what they can and cannot own, so long as no threats to anyone's welfare are made. We have enough government regulation, and if those in government/LE have access to certain weapons then so should I.

@MikeFlora For the most part, I think he has been doing a decent job, and by the end of his term I have a feeling you and everyone else will realize the world is not coming to an end and perhaps we might be a little better off. Plenty of folks on both sides disrespect our veterans. Who cares about the Pope? My mother's side of the family is all Italian and thus very Catholic, and even most of them think the Pope is a sad joke, and I sure do as an atheist. Do you think life in most African countries is pleasant? His remark on that was accurate, enough poverty and sickness to go around, of course the PC crowd wanted Trump to say that Africa is like Neverland I suppose. That is also called freedom of speech by the way. Regarding Harley Davidson, did you ever stop and think that Harley is maybe responsible for their own choices? No one technically made them go overseas, they made that choice over money, and that unto itself is a whole other story. With the immigration matter, somehow I don't buy most of what was mentioned in the media over that, we the general public are only getting part of the story, and the liberal left comparing those "cages" to nazi concentration camps is sickening and appalling and lessens the significance of the horror that was the holocaust. Of course, no liberals think that comparison is vile and disgusting though, so again please remind me which side here is worse? At this point I don't think it matters.

@MikeFlora You are attempting to compare two different things there. No where in the Constitution does it grant the right to own or operate a motor vehicle, unlike with gun rights. Yes, you do have to take a test to obtain a driver's license, but gun owners have to go through a background check and whatever they purchase goes into a government database. If you think not all gun owners are sane, neither are all of those who operate motor vehicles, and vehicles can be just as dangerous in the wrong hands (remember what Timothy McVeigh did?).

I'm all in favor of group that supports a well regulated militia. Let's get some regulating!!!
SpikeTalon replies on Jun 25, 2018:
@PDXNorm The Feds oversee them and their actions, just as any other group would be subjected to. No one these days are above big brother surveillance. Secretive about their membership and leadership you say? Their membership is between 5-6 million members and those details are available online easily. Same is true with the leadership, that could also easily be found online. The NRA offers both adult and youth firearm safety and handling courses which are strictly regulated (and you would think one of sound and rational mind would be all for safety courses being taught). So much for being secretive. Background checks are conducted more now than ever, even most jobs these days require background checks, and regarding firearms purchases many states have now closed background check loopholes. Discipline? Take an NRA course and you'll be disciplined sure enough, assuming you lack in discipline that is. Now to the last part of your comment... Weekend drunks? Haha, that's comical, and also absurd and rather judgmental. Your comment there indicates that pretty much every member of the NRA is a drunk or damn close to everyone, which is quite a huge claim, and you know what they say huge claims require some huge evidence to back up said claims. So...I'd be rather curious to see this evidence you must have, until then I must remain "agnostic" until that claim is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. By the way, just in case you decide to edit your comment, I took a screenshot of it.

Assault is an action, not an object.

When our military goes in, it goes in to win by as dramatic a margin as possible. As they should. When they go in they go in with weapons such as is pictured above. They don't go in with "defense" weapons. And they sure don't go in wielding six shot wheel guns. That's no coincidence, they know...
SpikeTalon replies on Jun 25, 2018:
Also, depending on the individual, one could claim any gun is a defense weapon as what do you suppose weapons like that are used for? For self defense, and offense. Of course, you have the folks too who insist upon calling some rifles assault guns.

For what it's worth, I contend they are neither assault or defense rifles, but rather just...rifles. people make things far too complicated, a gun is a gun in my opinion, whether it be a handgun or rifle.

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 25, 2018:
As I said before, it's not a direct matter of repealing the 2A, but rather what kinds of legislation could get passed that put restrictions on law abiding gun owners. Through sneaky gun control legislation, the anti gun crowd could somewhat achieve their goal without ever actually repealing the 2A.
SpikeTalon replies on Jun 25, 2018:
@Trajan61 For sure. The gun control crowd knows it would be difficult to repeal the 2A, so they attempt to work around that detail by pushing restrictive gun control legislation.

But since stating such is not enough for the liberals, my rifles shall then be called defense rifles.
SpikeTalon replies on Jun 25, 2018:
@MikeFlora Perhaps, but virtually any weapon could be an assault weapon if it causes harm. Believe me, a skilled shooter with a six round handgun and a few speed loaders could do significant damage just as one who has an AR-15. I'm just not for calling weapons "assault weapons" is all.

SpikeTalon replies on Jun 24, 2018:
Good to hear. I happen to belong to a local citizen militia group that is quite regulated, and if we break any laws we would be subjected to incarceration. The NRA is very similar in nature. Now that we got the regulated militia part down, onto the part where it says "shall not be infringed", as you have to take the 2A as a whole and not just a particular part of it. I happen to own at least two of what some folks would call an "assault rifle", but that is perfectly fine because it is legal to own said rifles, and I certainly comply with all regulation in place. Glad you are in agreement with such.

@Beach_slim Scary indeed. I don't think the liberals of nowadays are hardly aware of much of anything, let alone anything to do with finances. Trump is making the USD stronger because he has been a strong leader, so far anyway. The lib progressives think everything is free because they steal other people's money, all for the sake of what's best for the community. I guess I'm not a good citizen, I believe in individual rights, and say fuck that to the herd mentality that is socialism. Liberals don't care about people, they care about getting votes/voters at any cost.

liberal
[lib-er-uh l, lib-ruh l]

SpikeTalon replies on Jun 24, 2018:
While the above description would describe the classic liberals rather accurately, the same cannot be said of today's liberals, who often refer to themselves as progressives. The progressives believe in bigger government with more social programs paid for at the expense of the taxpayers, limited freedom of speech (if said speech hurts their feelings), more taxes to fund social programs, more gun control legislation (current measures have been a flop in curbing violence), just to name a few things that do not go hand in hand with individual liberty. The conservatives of nowadays do believe in more individual liberties, and would be really ideal in my opinion if it wasn't for the religious influence that has gotten a strong foothold in politics. I come from a family of diehard Democrats and as a teen never thought the day would arrive when I would become so repulsed by their ways that it would turn me conservative....but that is precisely what happened though. We don't realize just how precious our individual liberties are until they are taken from us. I'm convinced none of the major political parties these days truly care about the average American, and while my overall politics undoubtedly lean heavily to the right I shall stay a registered Independent until we actually get a political party that works for all Americans. I just won't hold my breath though...
