It’s actually very easy to fail at gambling. Get into the casino business a few years before every surrounding state gets casinos and table games and you will fail. Vegas can still make money because they have other shit to do. AC is not worth the drive now that everywhere else (PA, WV, DE, MD) all have casinos with…

Nope. Need single payer. No one thing will enable economic growth more. When you don’t have to worry about your healthcare costs or losing your home, you’re willing to take more chances, innovate, and do things you wouldn’t normally do. Without this, you lose the entrepreneurial spirit and the economic system tanks.…

Well RN ground/sea to air is actually a lot better than that of the US, it’s a bit of an unmentioned secret(although not an actual secret just the result of good US marketing) that the UKs radar technology is more advanced than that in the US(mostly down to miniaturisation although not exclusively), and the missile…

It knows what it wants, but the Doctrine isn’t the same as the US heavy carrier doctrine. It’s essentially the same as what the US marines have used in the past and generally the Marine Corp has taken more from the Royal Navy than it has from the US Navy in terms of operations and doctrine.

I agree it’s only a matter of time before we see an Euro Military, however I really cannot see the UK being apart of one. Throughout our time in the EU the UK has been the main force behind it not happening, due to the veto power it had over any large projects such as that. Once we leave and our veto isn’t in the way,…

I think we’re 100% on the same page here to be honest, the RN’s escort fleet size is the biggest issue facing the UK’s armed forces imo. They’re going to cut the steel for the T26 frigates next month (8 of them), and we’re supposedly going to order 6 T31 frigates, meaning in theory we’ll be replacing 13 T23 frigates…

Well, that’s one way of spinning what she said. But you are ignoring the opinions she espouses. She says in no uncertain terms, that racism against blacks is bad but racism against whites is OK.

Breaking news: someone who isn’t cynically filling an obstructionist role to mislead the public gives an honest statement and get shit on by asshats looking for blood wherever they can get it.

I mean, the dude is up there advocating for the termination of up to 4 police officers for the kinds of shit that every other department has thus far tried to ignore and sweep under the rug. Cut the fucking guy a break. By all accounts he’s doing the right thing. He can use every bit of cop speak in the world if it’s…

1. Projecting military power and keeping a major conflict from reaching our shores. In order to do that we have to be able deploy enough carrier groups around the world to blockade any invading force. Having 350 doesn’t mean we will have all 350 deployed at the same time, so accounting for rotation this is probably…

Should it come down to it, I’d rather win 10-0 than 5-4. Having massive superiority limits conflicts, and therefore casualties (for both sides).

Look racists...Donald Trump might have encouraged you guys, but if you are a 98 lb guy in a tacky suit, you had better refrain from spitting and cursing at people that could throw you in a trashcan with one hand. I’m not sure what Racist Bill Gates was hoping to accomplish here.

Yeah, sorry, I felt bad giving that advice to someone who has not wronged me first.

How can you be content? You realize that these kinds of politics are the reason you’re making 42k, and not, say, 72k right? The fact that you could ever be completely content with a government, no matter what party controls it, shows that you simply don’t care enough. You keep less of your own money than the people…

While the image above is an airsoft gun, it was stated that the kid had a bb gun, which is not considered a toy, therefore not required to have an orange tip. Plus, kids remove those orange tips all the time. So put yourself in the officer’s shoes now. You going to fire in self defense? If not, what do you do? This…

Set up a BB trap in the basement, hallway or the back yard. (Local regs vary, I can let the kids shoot Airguns all they want as long as I have a Range set up , even here in Portland)

I took my wife to the range got her comfortable with me, not the guns, to open thr dicussion about taking Jr. Now he has a .22 and don’t care for any higher caliber.

I’m also an advocate of what my safety instructor (and police officer) recommended: Take little Johnny and let him handle/touch your unloaded firearms. Do this a few times, and the firearm won’t be such an exciting unknown, because they know they can see it if they ask.

Most people realize that using less energy overall is better for all of us, no matter what the source.
