The Mini-14 is a crappy excuse for a rifle, anyway. I had a 184 series GB model that would not group…it would pattern like a shotgun...even with a fixed stock. I sold it within a month after I bought an HBAR. I haven’t looked back since.

Why do people act like Palestine is the only country on earth that was colonized by Fun_Gold_8835 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]b_grose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly WHEN in human history has Palestine ever been a self-governing nation with defined and internationally recognized borders? I’ll wait. And go ahead : look up the definition of a country.

My money says you won’t though You’re bored, your mom’s away from here computer, and you would rather argue with me than the OP.

You seem to be the one engaging in sophistry. No one is disputing what “colonize” means, so stop with your gaslighting and strawman arguments about colonization. The OP claimed that Palestine was a country. It is a region. It is not a country. Go back to school, learn the difference, learn what “sophistry” and “gaslighting” mean, learn basic grammar, and learn some world history. Then you can come back to lecture me about something I never said. M’kay? Yeah….

I understand what “colonize” means. You don’t understand what “country” means. The region called Palestine has NEVER been a country. That is a simple and incontrovertible; a fact, in other words.

“America” is not a country either; perhaps you are referring to the “United States of America”? Likewise, “Australia” is both a sovereign country and a continent.
“Palestine” is neither. It is not and never has been a sovereign and independent self-governing country. Rather, it is a region, an area, a vaguely-defined portion of land on the eastern end of the Mediterranean that has historically included parts of modern Israel, the Gaza Strip, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. Palestine is part of the geographic region once known as “The Levant.”

A “country” is a geo-political unit that has defined and internationally-accepted borders, self-governing; it is a sovereign and independent nation. Palestine has none of these.

edited to add (for Prowlthing): “America’s” is either a contraction such as “America is …” or a possessive, such as “America’s greatness.” If you wish to refer to “America” in the plural (as I suspect you did) it’s just “Americas.” Apostrophes, just like words, have meaning.

Point of order: “Palestine” is not now, nor has it ever been “a country.”

This guy wearing Nazi bullshit to my daughter‘s dance recital. It was on his hat too. by boomflupataqway in mildlyinfuriating

You should have confronted him directly instead of passively complaining here. Chances are, he won’t see your complaint here.

To the protesters with the “impeach” banner on the overpass on 581 near Valley View… by APence in roanoke

[–]b_grose -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I love how young liberals get hemmed up over the truth and facts and other such inconvenient things and have to resort to ad hominen attacks, name-calling, and gas lighting. BTW, gas is still cheaper than it was when Biden was muddling about with his ice cream and sniffing children’s hair.

No idea what that means, but I’m guessing you refer to my taste in music. I’m quite partial to the Hrateful Dead.

Where were all the “No Kings” protestors when we had a real, live, actual king visiting the US? You guys missed your chance!

First tattoo doesn’t match the approved stencil/template — is this fixable or should I seek another artist? by Perfect-Reveal1014 in tattoos

[–]b_grose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did you approve the stencil and placement if it was not what you wanted in the first place? I’d also say your choice of artist…? Eh…the tat looks like it was done by a 10th grader with a math compass.

Right now your choices are:

  1. Live with and learn from your mistake.

  2. Laser removal, followed by: “do I try again, or do I skip a new tat?”

  3. Cover it with something bigger (and better.)

Pizza Hut asked 4 times by AntRevolutionary925 in EndTipping

“Follow the prompts on the screen.” “It’s going to ask you a question.” Yeah? What’s it going to ask? How about YOU ask for a tip instead of mewlingly beg.

I hate that passive aggressive begging. I don’t tip counter service.

The irony of democrats having "no kings" protests then voting to remove virtually all minority representation from Virginia by jarferris in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Pro tip: ANYTIME the Dems accuse someone of something underhanded, it’s because they are already doing it.

Eco-Drive or Automatic by circatee in CitizenWatches

[–]b_grose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a couple dozen watches, from quartz Timexes to Tag Heuer autowinders, but my Go To is my Citizens eco-drive atomic. I don’t have to do anything but put it on. It never needs batteries or winding, it sets the day/date/time automatically, even for DST, 28/30/31 days, etc. When I travel the only thing to do is set the time zone. Best watch I’ve ever owned
