Of course you're likely going to be modded flamebait or troll--you just made broad accusations with absolutely nothing to back it up other than "nyah nyah, you stupid Yanks!"
Please, indulge me with some background and citations, or shut the fuck up and stop making "Well... you're wrong!" comments.
It's obvious that you have utterly no fucking idea what you're talking about. Numerous members of the NRA have spoken out against Clinton's DMCA and Bush's PATRIOT Act.
Plus... "libertarians don't care about the second amendment"? That's totally incorrect. As is "gun nuts don't care about the first amendment" and "stomp" on it all the time. Please.
Totally incorrect, ignore the above text. Rand never advocated or said such things. She wasn't flawless but the hysterical ad hom attacks on her online are just laughable.
Besides the fact that hollowpoints are a relatively new technology, why do they need to die?
Even if you totally scrap all the arguments about the distribution of force being more efficient and so forth, one can definitely say that they have much less of an issue with overpenetration than hardball. They're often popular for the reason that people don't want to shoot through their target and have it keep on going and going, possibly striking someone or something behind said target.
Separate the NVA and the VC figures and things look a bit more grim, especially considering that nowadays it's mostly VC-type that we have to worry about.
I know I'm going to get karma roasted for this, but since it'll be mods from rabid fans I'm not too worried.
I don't like anime. More specifically, I don't like the effects that it brings upon people. There is a direct causative relationship between being interested in it and wanting to try and learn Japanese--which almost always fails miserably, insistence on being called names like 'Washu' and 'Minako-chan' and 'Ranma', and thinking that being a human xerox machine is 'art'.
And so far as art is concerned, this group generally believes that attempting to copy anime identically is 'art'. News flash, it's a simple drawing style to begin with. I don't think even fans can argue with that, and if you are, you need to get your head examined and try doing a portrait of a real person in charcoal or somesuch.
I'm not a fan of American comics, either, but I'm quite sick and tired of this bandwagon. I have MANY friends who are into it, and I bear it. I joke that 'anime turns you into a child molester', and they agree. Never a, 'Ha-ha, very funny' or 'Pfft, generalization', just agreement.
And, actually, anime fandom is classified as a fetish by the APA.
Think about it for a minute. Really, think about it.
It's prolonged exposure. Silver does bond with things such as sweat glands in the subcutaneous layer, which is what makes argyria visible. You can't absorb silver through the skin--rings are fine--but dental fillings, anything against mucus membranes... that's completely different.
Look up a site about Rosemary that was mentioned earlier in the thread. She specifically makes a note on the silver nitrate drops in the FAQ on the website.
I detest television... really, it's just boring to me. Buuuut, can you guess what my family does? They watch the fucking Prevue channel... because they can't figure out what crap to watch. So sometimes they're staring at it for over an hour. Blech. They have the paper TV Guide right there, too, and there are five computers in the house, most with Internet access.

If you think McCain is right-wing, you need to look again. The guy's a mislabeled Democrat, basically.
The true mark of a politician--electability above principle. *gag*

That's not entirely true and certainly quite arguable.

Well, you know what they say... if you want peace, prepare for war. ;-)
I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up.
Not quite accurate, in Arizona at least there are 'justices of the peace' who may be called either way, if I recall correctly.

Fridges have a heat source very close nearby, smartass. ;-)
In fact, somebody did send it off to Razor. That's a large part of the problem.

Laos has loads of food, they export plenty of it. FOOD IS NOT AN ISSUE. I swear, this story has so many clueless idiots posting on it...
Mod up, this is one of the single most sane comments I've seen on this story.
Most shelters have RFID readers... all that I know of now, actually. So the likelihood is really damned high.
Dude, that sig is crap. Except for the Australian beer part, hah. ;-)
Actually, check his posting history. He's really that stupid.
Heh, wish I had modpoints.

Only phonetically. ;-)
Winter in German is 'Winter'. Thrilling, huh?
Either works, really. One's just cliché. ;-)
