    That's actually a really good piece of writing there and helps clarify a few things for me. Thank you for that.

    The Perilous state of the American Democracy explained in lay mans terms

    Anytime someone calls the US a democracy, especially when they act like they know whats going on like this guy, I can't help but immediately discount everything else they have to say. How can you say you know what the problem is when you don't even have a basic understanding of what type of...

    BMW Driver Blocks Hydrant.....7 Alarm Fire Breaks Out

    A Firefighters perspective from another forum: "Firefighter and Driver Pump Operator here. Four inch coupling won't easily fit under a BMW sedan nor most other sedans. Second, I don't have time to feed it under. Not making that up. I do more in the first five minutes on seen pumping then the...

    BMW Driver Blocks Hydrant.....7 Alarm Fire Breaks Out

    As opposed to a dick move by the BMW owner? He broke the law, the Firemen were just doing their jobs, you know, putting out fires and saving lives.

    BMW Driver Blocks Hydrant.....7 Alarm Fire Breaks Out

    Wow, are people even reading this thread? A reason is given why the side ports on the hydrant aren't used, and a person asks about the "splitter" thingy. Then an answer is given why the "splitter" thingy isn't used and people ask about the hydrant again. The answer is given and, again, people...

    BMW Driver Blocks Hydrant.....7 Alarm Fire Breaks Out

    No, the dick move was the BMW owner who parked in front of a hydrant. A lot of you are seeming to forget, had he not broken the law, he wouldn't have brought this upon himself. It truly is a shame that people are blaming the Firemen who arrived to save lives and try to prevent people from...

    BMW Driver Blocks Hydrant.....7 Alarm Fire Breaks Out

    And I already explained those in a previous post. Those are 2.5" ports, the front is 4".

    BMW Driver Blocks Hydrant.....7 Alarm Fire Breaks Out

    Those are intake ports for boosting flow, they aren't for output. Edit: To better explain, pumps are hooked up to either of the "splitter". This boosts pressure above normal hydrant levels, allowing water to reach higher heights and longer distances.

    BMW Driver Blocks Hydrant.....7 Alarm Fire Breaks Out

    The front port is for a 4" hose, those side ports are for 2.5" hoses. Using the side ports would drastically reduce flow as its for much smaller hoses. Firefighters aren't going to risk their lives and significantly more property damage using smaller hoses just because some jackass in a BMW...

    Study Finds 97% Consensus on Human-Caused Global Warming in Peer-reviewed literature

    In table 2, it says 'no position'= does not mention cause of global warming. But if you look at top of the table, it labels the table as 'Definitions of each level of endorsement of AGW'. It says these are positions only about AGW. Now if you read the methods section, page 3, last section of...

    Study Finds 97% Consensus on Human-Caused Global Warming in Peer-reviewed literature

    I do understand that. I understand that their conclusion was 97.1% of articles that were looking at AGW agreed that it was real. I never challenged that. But do you understand that only 33.6% of articles had a position on AGW? AGW, not global warming as a whole. That is where my 'no position'...

    Study Finds 97% Consensus on Human-Caused Global Warming in Peer-reviewed literature

    "We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming." Direct...

    Study Finds 97% Consensus on Human-Caused Global Warming in Peer-reviewed literature

    Am I the only one who actually read the article? The article clearly says 97.1% of abstracts EXPRESSING A POSITION formed a consensus for MMGW. Of the abstracts, 66.4% DID NOT express a position, while 33.6% did express a position (either negative, positive, or uncertain). So some quick napkin...

    Adam Kokesh plans July 4th Gun March on DC w/ loaded guns..

    I see this as very similar to the 1989 Johnson v. Texas case. A peaceful march through Texas that ended with a burning of the flag at the State Capitol building. The burning of the flag was considered illegal under Texas law and Johnson was arrested. The case reached the US Supreme Court where...

    Adam Kokesh plans July 4th Gun March on DC w/ loaded guns..

    Yes, that is what I believe. Actually, as long as you have your FOID, carry it in a locked case, and its unloaded, you are able to carry a firearm on your persons in Illinois. Now, in regards to actually openly carrying a loaded firearm, the 1st Amendment does not currently protect that. I do...

    Adam Kokesh plans July 4th Gun March on DC w/ loaded guns..

    Umm, ok. Assassination is murder, not protest. You are denying the rights of another by taking their life. That is where protest ends and crime begins. That is something I do not support. While it can be argued that violence is a form of speech, again, it is something that denies the rights of...

    Adam Kokesh plans July 4th Gun March on DC w/ loaded guns..

    I never once said that it isn't illegal to carry like that. I was stating that political protest is protected by the Constitution. That is fact. Now, these people are clearly establishing this is a protest. Again, protest is a form of speech. LEGAL. These people's form of speech is the firearm...

    Adam Kokesh plans July 4th Gun March on DC w/ loaded guns..

    I see a lot of people saying how this is illegal and would end badly for those involved. I don't see that at all. I see this as a 1st Amendment issue more than anything. This is a group of people who wish to express themselves peacefully while carrying a firearm. The firearms themselves is the...

    PSA to gun advocates: They won't save you from the Aryan Brotherhood

    You guys need to listen to the op, he's right! Because the DA owned a gun and it didn't save him, it's absolute proof that guns don't save lives. At all. We need to make them all illegal because they are useless. Also, since seat belts don't save lives all the time, we need to eliminate those as...

    Democratic Rep. Ellison launches into tirade on Fox News

    I really don't like Hannity's show and generally try to keep from watching it, but this is one of his better moments. He really didn't do anything I would say is bad journalism, but he did provoke a response from Ellison that I believe will be bad for all Democrats. Watching Ellison's rant...

    Will having to register your guns stand up in court?

    Thanks for the source. And I do agree with you about the whole chainsaw thing, Its ludacris to think that chainsaw deaths are anywhere near gun deaths.

    Will having to register your guns stand up in court?

    Do you have a source for this? Its just kind of hard to believe when there is heart disease, diabetes, cancer, automobile deaths, alcohol/tobacco, etc. I have heard numerous numbers thrown around for gun deaths, but no where near the amount of deaths caused by some of the reasons I listed.

    A Heavily Armed Citizenry Is A Virtue

    BrightCandle, that is exactly why there is so much outcry over restricting the 2nd Amendment. Over the past decade the gov't has restricted so many of our rights and have passed many borderline unconstitutional Acts and policies (Patriot Act, NDAA, warentless wiretaps, etc.) that many Americans...

    A Heavily Armed Citizenry Is A Virtue

    I have seen this argument made many times and it is extremely short sighted. You mention Syria as an example of how their rifles aren't helping them against their gov'ts tanks and jets. But at the same time you fail to mention Libya and Egypt where the people there successfully overthrew their...

    OSCE observing elections

    Ar15s replacing shotguns in police cruisers?

    I don't really have an issue with this. It's true that shotguns can be loaded with a variety of lethal and non-lethal rounds, but they have limited range and accuracy compared to a rifle. Using an AR-15 over a shotgun allows a responding officer to engage a threat at a longer distance, adding a...

    [video] 7-11 clerks strip down man trying to steal candy

    Then it appears I am wrong. Next time I should look up laws myself instead of going off the word of another. It may have just been the policy of a certain company that I mistook as law, then. When I worked for a grocery chain out here, we were told that it is not shoplifting unless they leave...

    [video] 7-11 clerks strip down man trying to steal candy

    That's not entirely true and I think it may vary from state to state. Here in Arizona, for example, I could go into a store, eat as many candy bars as I want without paying or put as many as I could fit in my pockets and it will not be considered stealing until I leave the store. Once I walk out...

    Isn't everything really the Republican Party's fault?

    You had me interested until your second post. While I do have a feeling there will be some sort of social uprising after the election (no matter who wins), I don't think it will be anything more than a step above what we saw with the Tea Party/ Occupy protests; certainly not a civil war. As for...

    ABC News releases Paul Ryan's letters requesting stimulus money

    Ahh yes, I did miss that one. However, it still is in agreement with what I said in my other post. Ryan is merely stating the the goals of the plan brought before him. Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp. says their plan will cut costs and create jobs, which Ryan said he is pleased with. When a...

    ABC News releases Paul Ryan's letters requesting stimulus money

    I'm curious, did anyone here actually read any of the letters linked in the op? I went through them and no where did I see Ryan say what Biden claims: “I love that. I love that. This was such a bad program and he writes me a letter saying — writes the Department of Energy a letter...
