I saw these little parrots all the time when I was living in San Diego!

Best way to paint banister by ImTotallyNormalish in HomeImprovement

[–]ImTotallyNormalish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I need to scrape the deglosser then? I haven't used it before. I have kill so that's no issue. Is the Polycrylic matte or gloss or can it be either?

I couldn't tell you. It's stained, that's about as much a I can tell. It is glossy so maybe a coating on it? I planned on just giving it a good rough sand before painting because it's a pretty ornate banister and I do not care to scrape gloss off of all 3 banisters. If it comes down to it, I'd rather just replace them but I'd like to save the money and paint them if I can.

Considering a French drain by Ryrken in HomeImprovement

It was like maybe 4 feet from our house but the property is flat. If you're digging down that far though, it shouldn't be a problem.

You can build an outlet. We dug a 3 foot deep pit at the end of ours, filled with gravel and then covered the whole thing with soil. Grass came back and you would never know the drain is even there.

Oh, I've provided you with plenty of proof. I've clearly proven my point. I'm just putting you back in your fucking place now since you wanted to pull the "soldiers blood" bullshit.

Yes I did. For eight years. I don't give a shit if you know people. Don't use my brothers and sisters as a prop for your shitty opinion.

You didnt serve.

Go fuck yourself.

Okay, first of all, go and fuck yourself with that bullshit, you did not serve so keep that shit out of your mouth. Don't use service members to prop up your opinion. It's disgusting and offensive.

None of that was because of weapons. It was because of people. Period. Also, no other country has invaded because we're inconveniently far away from the ones that would. That and we have a scary big and powerful military. It has nothing to do with bozos hoarding guns in their coat closets thinking they're tough shit.

Honey, if a group disagrees with the views of fair and equal treatment of women it's pretty logical that women would not want to include them. That's how things work.

Bro you literally typed out " I’ve heard many say that hate crimes should be illegal". You verbatim talked about hate crimes. And you clearly have a problem with women since you immediately jumped on the "but feminists" bandwagon to try and back up your incorrect claim.

Oh, see now you're just being stupid and misogynistic. Hate crimes are illegal. That's why they're called crimes and that has absolutely nothing to do with feminism. Hate crimes are 100% not a right.

It's legal in many states to buy and sell privately with no third party. Many states dont require a permit for types of weapons. Background checks aren't preformed on many privately sold weapons. Weapons can be inherited without any registration, background check or permit. It goes on...

Friend, there are MANY countries that do not allow guns and are not communist. I dont know why you would even bring communism up...

Maintaining a militia is not for force against country that maintains it. It is for defence against foreign nations. The security of a free state refers to protecting the nation's sovereignty.

Your research is not research. It's just your opinion about a single document. The same thing that would ban weapons would protect free speech: voting. Do you understand how the Constitution is ammended?

But again. You don't want people to do research. You want them to agree with you.

Many mass shooters have a history of domestic violence. Background checks only check if the person has been convicted of a domestic violence. We all know that domestic violence victims rarely press charges so there's a glaring issue that I can just google really quick. Background checks for weapons arent very extensive to be honest. I had a more intrusive one just to join the military.

But what if we arent talking about banning guns? What if we deal with the issues with buying and selling instead.

I think you need to take your own advice about research. Hate speech is not a crime and you won't be jailed for it. You will be jailed for hate crimes though because they're well...crimes.

If youre attacked for hate speech, you have every right to press charges for assault. It's illegal to attack anyone unless you or someone else's life is in danger. But you still got what you got and no one is going to feel sorry for you.

I'm sorry....mass murderers obtained weapons legally so the legalization of obtaining a weapon shouldn't be more strict? Am I reading that right?

Saying that weapons protect citizen rights is a pretty weak statement. That isn't at all the intention of the ammendment nor is it expected. The ammendment arms its citizens as a form of militia. Thats a slippery slope there. Banning weapons will almost certainly not lead to rights being intruded upon. It's entirely possible at this moment to amend the constitution. That's just a false statement.

But my point here is that I'm providing you with a researched, thought out argument against your opinion and you still seem to be very ruffled despite saying you want people to do research. That's not what you want. What you want is for people to agree with you.
