    We must pay more taxes so the Jihadists in Iran can get more money to use to fund terrorism against us. It's insane. We pay tax money to fund both sides in the war on ISIS. We funnel money to ISIS through Iran then we use more money to blow up the ISIS army we're funding. It's.....Orwellian.

    You know, you don't have to have a reason to own a weapon. It's still okay.

    Anyone performing illegal activity would have to be a moron to do it at a gun show. There are probably a dozen or more Federal Agents operating undercover at every gun show. If I was trying to buy guns to smuggle that would be the very last place I'd try it. Most of the people at gun shows are collectors or people just browsing.

    As far as I know the number one gun smuggler is the Justice Department.

    You fail to recognize the real problem. Gun ownership isn't a big problem for the government at this point in time. Considering that we're now running somewhere in the neighborhood of 19 trillion in debt and accelerating the train towards it's inevitable derailment. In the future it will eventually come to the point where the government will not be able to pay the interest on the debt that it is amassing and refuses to deal with. When the day comes that they can no longer write those checks they dispense so freely today there will be drastic consequences. In the days of the Great Depression this was a radically different country with faith in God and a solid family structure to fall back on and survive the lean hard times. Those two institutions are largely gone today and a breakdown in society may be inevitable. This in a country armed to the teeth with weapons and ammo and almost a love affair with violence. It's not hard to see where that goes. I'm keeping my guns because I figure I'm going to need them. I foresee a major effort by the next Clinton administration to do something about all that weaponry and since with a Republican Congress it'll be difficult she'll use her SCOTUS appointments, most likely 3 of them, to legislate by the bench. They're not smart enough to figure out that millions, and I mean many millions, of Americans will not surrender their weapons. It'd take an army of brown shirts kicking in doors all across the nation with immense bloodshed to disarm this country. And that's against mostly hard working otherwise honest citizens. Then there's the criminal element that don't give a shit about any laws whatsoever. This isn't Australia and I don't think they get that. It's almost an American principle to distrust the government.

    I fully support your vote for Johnson. He seems like a nice guy if a little confused. It's obvious he hasn't spent his entire life learning how to cheat, lie and steal though. If I didn't despise Hilliary so much that I actually despair of having to listen to her bullshit for 4 years I'd take a chance and vote for Johnson too.

    I don't know dude. The Democrats nominated a woman so venal that she makes Nixon look like a sweetheart. Sure you hate bible thumpers but I don't really care for corrupt life long politicians who are so full of contempt for the American people that they tell one fucked up half ass lie after another with that smarmy look on her face like "who are you peons to question me, you are all dirt under my feet." You have every right to vote for the cunt but I have every right to despise her. Yeah Trump is no fucking prize I know but compared to that he don't look half bad. It's a shitty election year.

    But your vote does matter. You vote for the electors. The electoral college was set up to protect the power of the states. If you get a large percentage of the vote in certain states but narrowly lose in many others it is possible to lose the election even with a clear majority of votes nationally. States count more than total votes.

    Are the same people that bugged Merkel's phone bitching about the DNC hack? It's not like the DNC is a government agency. It's a political party or as I like to call it, one of the two mafias that rig elections in this country.

  18. I had two but they seemed more like 20. It's not something we did all the time when my kids were little. Like I said, I might see 10 movies in a year now but back when my kids were small it was more like 4 or 5. I've got a big HDTV now with the rocking surround sound system and it's cool but it's not the same as that GTX experience.

  19. I love theaters! I love the big screen and the sound and the popcorn. It's a great experience. I try to see at least 6 to 10 movies in the theater every year. Some movies just crave that big screen. We have a brand new cinema with the big GTX screen only a few miles away now and it's really nice. I haven't had a problem with my fellow movie goers in ages. Tickets are expensive so that limits the problem children and if you have a problem the theater people take care of it. The only problem I have really is finding time to go. I think there will always be a market for the big screen.

    It's a grey area. If they are driving 10 under the posted limit it's not likely to get them ticketed although Cops are always curious if you stand out so they might get pulled over to see what's up. If it's a 50 zone and they're doing 25 that's obviously a problem and so would be considered impeding traffic.

    Unfortunately most of the time people don't swerve to avoid the head on. It's on them so fast they're hit before they can react. I've seen a lot of those accidents on the road I commute to work on. It's a 4 lane highway with a accel/decel lane in the middle. No divider and traffic typically running between 65 and 75 during rush hours. Just a few months ago a man had a heart attack and swerved into oncoming traffic killing another man headed the opposite way. Witnesses said it was so fast that the victim in the other car never even hit his brakes. There have been many of these over the 30 years I've been commuting down that highway. Enough that I ride in the far right lane and don't give a shit how fast I get to work.

    Well, it gets the reading remotely from the blood glucose meter and calculates the dose. It then displays the amount of insulin for the bolus delivery. You look at it and generally, if you've been using a pump or doing injections you know about what range you usually end up taking. If it's off a lot it should be obvious as long as you're actually alert. When it comes to things like that being observant is important.
