See, that's the problem. You think you have some overarching intelligence advantage. There is no logic that you can use to prove that God doesn't exist and you therefor don't believe. (And I'm not claiming I can use logic to explain the other point of view.) If you don't believe, fine. But don't tell me you don't believe because you know something I don't.
There is nothing "friendly" about brainwashing and indoctrinating your children into a superstitious, fearful, dogmatic, and guilt-obsessed worldview.
There's nothing friendly about shoving all Christians into your brainwashed, fearful, dogmatic and guilt-obsessed personal view of them either. You don't have a claim to being any more intelligent or moral than those you denounce. You complain about them believing something you may not even though them believing impacts you in no way whatsoever.
Testing at the scene is just a preliminary test. It has no legal power as far as if you are drunk or not. The test at the station or hospital is the one that the law is written around.
That's what doesn't make sense to me about the ruling. If they are saying states can't even make laws that AGREE with federal law, then there are a LOT of laws that are going to have to be struck down in all states because a lot of state laws that are simply echos of federal statutes.
While you are all correct, AutoCAD is no longer used by mechanical engineering nearly as much as it used to be, it is still widely used in other fields. Specifically, the electrical diagraming add-ons are very much still used for schematics. Plant floor plans are also a big part of it's use as 3D isn't a necessary part.
So, I assume you want the federal law changed as well?
That's what I don't get about the SCOTUS ruling. They struck down the part that required legal immigrants to carry their papers saying it was unconstitutional when that specific part of the law is the exact same as the federal statute.
At his trial, he might be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
And this is one of the major flaws in the American justice system IMO. Not Guilty by reason of insanity shouldn't exist. The proper finding is Guilty BUT insane.
From the comments on that link:
"What some fail to understand is that the CBSC sets voluntary guidelines. They can ban the song if they want but radio stations are under no obligation to abide by the ruling. There are no penalties involved. The guidelines and organization have no powers other than those given to it by it's members the station owners."
I don't know if that's actually true but it does make sense.
You need a room about 4 times the size of my living room to use the things.
Is your living room a closet? I don't have much space in front of my TV (about 8 feet wide by 8-9 feet deep) and the Kinect works just fine. I don't even use all of that space.
I don't know about any of the other false positives you mentioned but that one is complete bullshit. Your breath can SMELL like alcohol but it won't give a false positive on a breathalyzer, And, yes, I am diabetic.
That said, the reason this is unacceptable is that it is search without probable cause or even reasonable suspicion. Refusal to take a breath test after already being suspected of intoxication while driving is a completely separate matter and is perfectly acceptable. This isn't.
Powder was one of them, but so were corroding, unchromed barrels and bores (many men died in Viet Name when their own rifles blew up on them), bad magazines, soft brass which stuck in chambers, no cleaning kits or instructions. Some of this was the fault of the Pentagon, some of it was Colt profiteering.
Every one of those problems, save the magazines, was caused by the powder change. The compounds used in the replacement, cheaper, powder increased corrosion significantly. The chrome-lined bores were done just to ensure that the problem was solved.
The magazine problem was another corrosion problem and was pretty quickly solved by using springs with a higher nickel concentration for higher corrosion resistance.
As for the penetration issue, all the materials you mentioned are "hard" soft targets. Multiple clothing layers absorb a LOT of the energy of a bullet impact. I've shot all the stuff you mentioned as well as a set up of several layers of loose fabric in front of a plywood board. Several, not all, rounds failed to reach the wood. I was surprised how many were stopped as well but it did, and does, happen.
Aimed fire at a 1000 yards was a dream of the mid 19th century tacticians
That's news to me as there have been several records for sniping set in the last several years, including many with our own 7.62x51 in the M14. They were well over 1000 yards.
the US rushed the closest thing they could find that compared into production, the M16.
They didn't "rush" anything to production. The rifle was already being designed as a replacement when Vietnam started. The only bureaucratic problem it had was the penny pinchers changing the powder used in the ammunition to save a few dollars, which is what caused the corrosion and function problems.
This unfortunately legacy is what causes many to cling to the 7.62x51 and the M14
Well, that and the fact that the 5.56x45 won't go through an enemy's 5 layers of clothing over in the big sandbox. This is a direct confirmation from a friend who was there, not just a repetition of a hypothetical story. He saw it "more times than *he* cares to remember." I agree that there are some people who hate on the M16 family more than it deserves because of a bad experiences but that doesn't mean the M14 ISN'T better in many situations.
One last thing...You'd hate the M16 too if you were fighting with it and it suddenly refused to fire.
It may be, but it's not the best rifle chambered in 7.62x51 - arguably, FAL was that (US just had too much of a NIH syndrome back in the day to accept a foreign design for an Army service rifle).
I wholeheartedly disagree. The FAL is a fine weapon but is even heavier than the M14 from the examples I've held and is no more, or less, reliable or accurate. Also, the US military had already accepted foreign designed arms far before the FAL was designed, they just were already working on the M14 when the FAL was introduced. They have, obviously, since become a big fan of FN.
The latter is very impractical for bursts
If Bonny Parker can fire a cut down BAR with no butt stock, a soldier can handle an M14.
M4 has a barrel length of 14.5". 16" is the civilian lookalikes, due to legal restrictions.
I see only two small problems with your facts, and both are attributable to not being familiar with firearms, US military ones in particular.
First, the 7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester) round doesn't generate "much more recoil" than the 5.56x45mm. It is heavier but nothing that is unreasonable.
Second, the 7.62x51mm round is STILL in general issue in weapons other than the M16. The M14, M240 General Purpose Machine Gun and the M134 Minigun all use that round with the last one using a LOT of them, as in 4000 rounds per minute. The M14 was the general issue long-arm before the M16 and is still used, and preferred, by some special operations units. It has also been recently "brought out of retirement" in the last several years as the go to Designated Marksman rifle for the Army.
IMO, the M14 is far superior to the M16 in all but the tightest confines and even that can be overcome with a folding stock and shorter barrel configuration just like they were with the development of the M4 and Commando versions of the M16.
And, BTW, the M4 (16" barrel vs 20") is actually the standard issue weapon for the US military, at least the Army, now.
This needs to be rated higher than the parent post. THIS ONE is correct, the parent is not. Only the parts you remove or modify lose their warranty coverage, nothing else.
Not without a new law, he/she couldn't. The only people allowed to carry weapons on a commercial flight are pilots, depending on the airline, and federal Air Marshals.

This is no way a wanted poster. It is simply a notice of these people are because they try to get attention. Please stop giving them attention.
Um, no, not even close. It seems you are equating "believes in God" with "creationist."
Actually, nothing has ever had a problem with Daylight Savings Time. Many systems are, however, affected by Daylight Saving Time.
Only as a backup. The breath test is absolutely proof.

Interesting, I was just wondering. But, FYI, it is not a matter of debate. Bicycles are specifically allowed on sidewalks.
Well, you better avoid holding meetings in all of the US then since the documentation requirement was based on the federal requirement.
Bleah. This law has to go.
So, I assume you want the federal law changed as well?
That's what I don't get about the SCOTUS ruling. They struck down the part that required legal immigrants to carry their papers saying it was unconstitutional when that specific part of the law is the exact same as the federal statute.
I'd been asked for papers when I was stopped by a police officer for riding a bicycle on sidewalk.
Did this happen in Arizona because riding a bicycle on the sidewalk isn't illegal in Arizona.

Actually, the M4A1 is full auto because many requested that it be made available again after it was changed to 3-round burst.
