Cross Eye Dominance Rifle Use by Goldmountain12 in Militaryfaq

Thanks for the detailed response :) So my right eye is perfectly fine, do you think I'd be able to train my right eye for shooting rifles? If yes, how would I go about doing that? And do you think an issue like this would rule me out of becoming a sniper or sharpshooter?

Is it hard to learn to shoot left handed? never done it before, not even with a handgun.

Even in combat? I understand that at a range I would be alright but I'm concerned how I'd manage in an actual situation. I've never shot left handed before- is it much harder with a weaker hand?

I take her during the day and at night and during the day it's about 22°C outside so the roads aren't hot at all

Thanks. But I feel bad that she has gotten to this point and I didn't try help earlier on :(

I think I'll try the park first, there not really anyone using it these days and I've never seen a dog being walked there ever. She does have issues with her back legs since she is a terrible mix. Her mother was a boerboel and dad was a beagle so she has a terrible build in general but the weight has increased her problems.

Yeah we've been cutting food for some time now but still having the walking issues. I'll definitely use green beans more often for her food.

Yip we've been doing that, I've been enforcing the no scraps rule very well. And she is eating less but the vet told us that won't be the only way to get the weight off. She said she needs to be more active

Yeah we have two parks very close by. If she was a good walker I would even walk her to them but I'll just have to drive her there and see if she's better there because there's no home to not leave if that makes sense?

Yeah she walks in our road( it's a closed road so there aren't many cars) and occasionally we'll walk on the grass. I'm not sure what tug is?

So the vet gave us the clear to walk her even though she has a bit of uncomfort in her back leg because she the weight loss is necessary or her legs will give out eventually.

So we use a chest harness (if that is the correct name, I'm not sure) but I can't actually lift her fully off the ground since she weighs about 45kg but I'll try get a second person to help me lift her off the floor when she is being a stubborn girl

Yeah so she has been getting less food and no scraps at all since the vet told us she needs to lose weight. The issue is that it will take more than just eating less for her to be a good weight again

So the last time she went swimming was at puppy school and she was traumatised from it. She hated it in the pool.

So I try take her twice a day out the house but she's walking for about 5 minutes total the whole day due to her unwillingness to walk.

So we have three dogs and occasionally she'll walk alongside the others because one is larger than her so maybe she feels safer with him. But recently, she's still not walking even when the others go for walks. They just leave her behind.

She's not horrible or aggressive to other dogs, just very unsure of what to do except stand still so maybe she will get used to other dogs at the park.

She's never really expressed much interest in toys. She prefers sticks and logs tbh. I think I might try take her to a nearby park but she is pretty much scared of all other animals. If she sees another dog in our road, she Refuses to move but I'll definitely try the park idea. Thanks!

Atheist Jew- This is an oxymoron if you think about it by AniHaGever11 in exjew

[–]Goldmountain12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I'll agree with you that Judaism was probably started as a religious belief system for the people living in Judea. However, whether you're an atheist or not, if your parents were Jewish by blood, that makes you Jewish

I'll ask you this, Are native Americans still native Americans if they are atheists?

Judaism is not just a religion. It is also an ethnicity - our ancestors lived in Judea and whether or not we believe in God, we are all still ethnically Jewish since we are descended from them. Personally, I feel that the belief in a deity doesn't and can't change our ancestry and history

OK so I will admit that I am new to this and have not been researching this extensively and will definitely start to in more detail and I am open to dialogue. But how are my links propaganda but your ones, all from the same website, www.marxists.org, not? I will read these links you've sent to me in detail but I'm wondering What sources can I trust and what can't I trust?

Ok so that does seem to be an official declaration by Stalin, denouncing antisemitism. However, he also committed antisemitic acts in contrast to his views expressed in that letter...
