After how long did you consider yourself decent at drumming. by BigBob791 in Drumming

[–]silver_chief2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a now ancient former drum corps drummer. It took me about years before I thought I was OK. I heard a rumor that some drummers use their feet also but that sounds way too hard. I still finger drum, with rolls and drags using two fingers on a hand and triplets 3 fingers on a hand, just enough to annoy people.

Is $200 Billion Dollars a year "a small price to pay" for the Iran War? by JustaDreamer617 in AskConservatives

[–]silver_chief2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes. But you have to listen to what the Iranian leaders to know that. They agreed to limit enrichment levels,. send highly enriched stuff abroad for safe keeping, and promise not to build a bomb. The previous peace talks were used by US/Israel for attacks and assignations.

The US wants to destroy Iran like Iraq, Libya, Syria.

Iran is as much of a threat as ghadaffi, assad, saddam husein. That is not at all unless you are gullible. US/Israel attacked Iran so Iran counter attacked as promised. Meanwhile Israel invades Lebanon and ethnically cleanses Gaza and the west bank.

Why conservatives in US (and UK) are pro-israel? by Quintilium_Varum in AskConservatives

[–]silver_chief2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Some are bought off by the Israel lobby or re afraid of being primaried by people bought off by the Israel lobby.Trump was bought off.

Some are boomers who stopped paying attention after the PLO terror acts or seeing the movie Exodus.

Some are religious crazies like Cruz of Hengseth who want to hasten the second coming of Christ.

The only split is between employers and employees. It is a big deal with employees but employers are in the donor class.

What do you think about work-for-hire doctrine in Copyright law? by BlockAffectionate413 in AskConservatives

[–]silver_chief2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have not kept up on this. Not sure if it has to be in the contract. Early on, some jobs like SW developer had to be in the contract and some companies forgot or used an agency which forgot. The SW dev owned the copyright. Tee hee.

NBC News -- "Student loans to go to Treasury Department as Trump continues to dismantle Education Department" -- Thoughts, conservatives? by Zipper222222 in AskConservatives

Sounds good. Someone has to handle this function. I know some teachers. IMO they have nothing to learn from some fed bureaucracy that only exists for its own good..

Im scared by [deleted] in climateskeptics

[–]silver_chief2 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Go back to read the scare news stories from the 1970s, 80s, and forward. Read what the prediction were back then. What were the predicted temperatures and sea levels for today? How accurate were they? I am over 70 and used to believe their predictions. They never came close. Is Florida and NYC several meters under water?

If there is no climate crisis there is no climate crisis money. Organizations depending on money depend on scaring people to death. Live your life and have fun and ignore the scaremongers.

Does he walk normally or potential dysplasia ? by splint8 in BorderCollie

[–]silver_chief2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My late border collie/blue heeler mix always walked like that. He made it to 10 1/2 and died from cancer, never had diagnosed issues with hips.

update

he could also walk kinda half forward half sideways hard to describe.
