Weed, 100%. Nobody else could tip a game just by showing up quite so consistently.

It's worth bearing in mind to that U.S. forces would be a LOT more of a symbolic target than India's or China's.

QUOTE (TakingArms @ Aug 6 2013, 09:30 AM) Probably because you're young and don't follow history. Look up the Carter years, what top tax brackets were, and the effect it had when Reagan significantly cut those top tax brackets. I believe Kennedy did something similar, also. As I said above, capital...

QUOTE (TakingArms @ Jul 16 2013, 05:02 PM) If Zimmerman were black and Martin were white, and all the other facts of the case remained the same, the only difference would be that nobody would care and it wouldn't be news. The verdict would still be not guilty for all the reasons outlined above that...

QUOTE (TakingArms @ Jul 16 2013, 09:59 AM) You blame Zimmerman for not calling a professional. Why didn't Martin, who was holding a cell phone, call the cops? Why did he confront a suspicious man following him instead of calling the professionals? Because he was young, black, and in Florida. The wa...

QUOTE (minigun @ Jul 15 2013, 09:26 AM) Why all the protests? You have a vigilante with a concealed weapon, you have a young kid looking for trouble. Not enough evidence to convict. Oj Simpson was found not guilty...i don't recall a bunch of protests of the magnitude of the zimmerman trial. By &quo...

QUOTE (Elzam V. Branstein @ Jan 24 2013, 09:52 AM) No one wants to have cancer. Certain people want to have their guns. If no one wanted guns in the country, and someone offered to take them all away, then yes. Your metaphor would fit because no one (or at least, I'd assume no one) wants cancer. Bu...
