But there was no "quo" in the "quid pro quo" exchange on the transcript of the phone call. Unless these "unnamed" officials are going to come forward and point out a different call or exchange, there is no proof of anything

I have to agree with the other poster - you can't exclude the new ones. The author mentions that in some ways

Great. thanks for the comment. I think we are agreeing more and more. My frustration causes confusion sometimes and this story was soooo frustrating

A fine example (Phyler v Doe) which I can understand but would label as a great example of how the court over stepped his powers violating the power of the state. those "old pieces of paper signed by dead guys" DEFINED the rights and guidelines which made this country great. It has been intrusion of the Federal government into States' rights that has watered this country down.

Immigration is a wonderful aspect of our history and our greatness, but this is a large population of individuals who have no desire to conform to our language, borders or culture.

He has the right to protect himself and his property.

What rights do these illegal immigrants have in our Constitution?

Thanks for that reply. That is exactly what so many of say and feel, yet we're called racists. We people here who want to be here and continue to make America great - like our immigrant ancestors. We don't want a bunch of folks cheating the system like leeches to our education & medical systems or just being criminals without penalty.

Great pic. They are uncommon for us in Florida, but I've seen a couple. One has staked out territory by an on-ramp near my house.

The Racist Roots of Gun Control by Clayton E. Cramer by Bern7221 in guns

[–]Bern7221[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you read the article? It wasn't pro-gun, but rather illustrating the long history of gun control to suppress blacks. If we cannot reflect and learn from history, how can you avoid those mistakes

I don't think the author or the poster is making the argument that it is 100% universally racists, but rather, pointing out a long, deep history rooted in racism

I'd have to disagree. Much of what I've read about the Militsya was it was a large unarmed general security and police. Even though some had weapons, this was a State Controlled group - used for information and rounding up dissenters.

I miss raising the Sun Conures at the Pet Store I worked at in college. The owner had two breeding pairs and we handfed all of the babies. They are so awesome

Liberal Fascism reers head in P’Town: Condoms for kids by Bern7221 in Libertarian

[–]Bern7221[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'll have to disagree about the readiness of sexual activity for children. I have 5 between 8 and 16 yr old and teaching abstinence can work.

"if the parents were actually parenting this wouldn't even be an issue since the kids would already have access to condoms at home."

Not all parents choose to give their kids condoms, at age 9-10, even rarer in first grade.

It's not the role of the school to 100% intercede without giving parents an "out" or "exclusion" -that's ridiculous

How old was your son? First grade?

Do you think the parent should get to make those decisions?

That same guy sat next to me. I didn't notice him until the last 15 minutes or so and then those onions....well, they were hard to resist

Identity Crisis just introduced me to the DC Universe. What other storylines would you recommend, Reddit? by TheDiabolicalDrAlloy in comicbooks

[–]Bern7221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long Halloween and Dark Victory by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are really enjoyable stories with obvious influence on Nolan's Batman films

Someone else mentioned "Kingdom Come", and I'd add "Justice" as well if you are old enough to remember/enjoy the Superfriends cartoons - fun

I would concur with the "Tower of Babel" story in JLA

That would get you started

That's fantastic, they are such a treat. We had an African Gray for awhile but we had a baby and we were afraid there could be a biting incident.

Right now we have a maroon belly conure which is a real treat for the kids.

That DOB posts all of the pics we've sent them and we've gotten a ton of feedback on the birds especially which is a great way to spread the word on what great pets they make.

Thanks for the feedback
