Quote:I understand your point. But although they choose to argue, the intention is also getting informed as to what is out there. Whatever road they take, that's their choosing.
just beause someone responds doesnt mean that they are being open to what you say. basically allot of people are just arguing back because that's what you promote. arguing instead of debating.
Quote:And since you lean towards them, it is technically your camp; it is your safe-zone or default setting. That was the point.
ahhh soo if im understanding you right, if i agree with someone in a post i have to stick to there sides and can't sway from the camps thinking. i see. sorry thats not the way i work, i go with what i agree with wether its a repuclican idea, a democrats idea or a libertarians idea. i follow myself. and not a party. do i lean towards the republicans?

well lets see im 37 now and ive spent maybe a total of 20 minutes listening to rush limbagh, wich was generally when he's interveiewd on the news i happen to be listening too. don't care for him. he's not a right wing leader, he is a talk show host.
Quote:Yes I did on the spelling BS, as to show you I could have taken the petty route too, but I didn't, nor do I care on those petty issues. It was just an example.
and i dont think i have every called anyone out on spelling. i know a few times in the past i have made remarks about how when someone makes an issues about grammer and spelling then they have ran out of things to fight about, didnt you bring up my spelling in our other post?

as for us martyrs ain't got @!#$ remark. umm i posted my remarks near the beginning of the page. i didn't post what i said about the way you respond to attack you or because i didnt have anything to get you, or own you, with i just posted it because its why these things get turned into fights. and for the record, that wasn't even 100% for you, it was for you, for bill (who had been allot better lately then he was in the past) and quick who is allot of times just as guilty of it.

Let's do a quick comparison on "exactly what 'they' lived through since 2001":
Bush:
lower taxes, over 5 million more jobs than when he took office, 6 years of sub-$200B budget deficits (I say 6 years, because in 2007 and 2008, it was a Democratic Congress, where the budget deficits immediately jumped over 100% )
Obama:
extreme expansion of federal government power in less than two years, constant pushing an economically destructive agenda including increase in energy prices through taxes, and attempts to allow everyone's taxes to increase during a major recession
Yep, the tea-baggers are just doing it because he's black.

You mean like the left wingers that set fire to the democratic party headquarters in Denver and tried to make it look like conservatives did it? Or when they rioted and destroyed blocks of city streets during the Republican National Convention in 2008?

Please show the news report of this, I would like to get further informed on this and don't use slanted sources either.
Tell me how Woodstock of 1969 was uncivilized again?
Lastly, here is one from your team, just on this thread alone... need I say more:

the videos i didnt see as being that bad. last one with the guy stepping on her was a bit over the top. but if you watch the thing, people are yelling for the police, and it looks as if they are just pinning the women to the ground to subdue her. sounds more like they thougt something was up with her and they were holding her for the police.
first video with the parkinson guy wasn't really even that bad. same type of bickering back and forth you see at any protest for any type of thing really.
i kinda expected to see worse.

lol Leave it up to you to down play and scoff the taunting/scorning of a professor with Parkinson's disease, a psycho who would pop lead if she doesn't get what she wants, and getting kicked on the head for an opposing view. Whether you just want to go against the grain of civility, or me is one thing, but be as it as it may... expecting to see worse makes your recent centrist view from the other thread look like blatant lie. If that's how you work, so be it, but these type attitude and actions are no better then what you'll find in third world nations, and pathetic when it comes leading by example for the rest of the world. Further proof we can be no different then the countries we "dislike." Go figure.

I have, at the moment, about three months worth of basic foodstuffs, in my spare bedroom closet. Water is a problem though, as I only have about about a 90 day supply.
I have a .38 special revolver, and with my recent delivery, I have about 700 rounds of ammo in that caliber.
I purchased a Keltec Su16-C .223 rifle. Very compact and lightweight..working on my ammo dump for that one...only 500 rounds so far.
I pay my taxes, and drive the speed limit. I work a respectable sales job and mind my own business. My neighbors like me. If the government were to want to come get me, they'd get me pure and simple. However, if Darquan tries creeping in my window, or if BubbaGump attempts to enter my domicile inivited, I will get them.
Oh, and the answer to #4, is Caraway Seeds.

Sure, there are some groups who actively plan for engaging who they consider as "hostile" to the freedoms granted by the US constitutions (these groups have existed long before now), but others that have recently been grouped in with the term militia are merely people who prepare for events such as the collapse of government or the economy. These people just stock up on food/equipment to take care of themselves including firearms and ammunition to defend what they have against people who would try to take it from them in times of chaos. They don't go looking for a war to fight, but rather consider defense of themselves, family and their property as necessary to their survival if something catastrophic happens.
Quote:The questions here lies, do you feel your "freedoms" has been more revoked today then what was in the past? And have you stocked pile more today then what you had 2+ years ago? If you answered yes to any, why the recent change? I mean was the area and time that you lived that rosy back then versus so Apocalyptic today?
I have supplies stored to last a few months and firearms for emergencies, but have no intent on joining or condoning any type of warfare against the government. Am I part of this so called militia movement? I guess it depends upon who you ask and what is their definition of militia.
Quote:Sorry to inform you but government has been printing money for ages, not just a couple of years. Remember, our debt/deficit has been escalating since Nixon, exponentially for the passed 30 years (80s, early 90s & 21st century) during times where income was not in line to the spending. What happened to Argentina has absolute no similarities to what has happened here. Infact their huge collapse was of the result of government run sectors that were sold off to private entities around the world, mainly Brazil, Italy and Spain, then in turn those jobs were then sent there. Airplane manufactures, mail system, infrastructure companies, and even certain areas had private police officers. It didn't help that the Peso was equivalent to the Dollar at the time all of this was happening in the long run.
What is going to happen if the US keeps printing money with no backing whatsoever? This is what has happened in other cultures that led to high rates of inflation. Money becomes less and less valuable and in some countries such as Argentina became essentially worthless. What does it matter if you make $100K/year if it won't buy the basic necessities to survive? Mortgage rates have recently risen close to 20% and savings rates have not increased accordingly. Is this a sign of a housing recovery or a sign that the value of the dollar is decreasing?

That's pretty much about it. Its not like being prepared for emergencies means installing motion sensor turret guns behind the bushes and creating a pirhana filled moat around Petoria. I have a 4 month emergency fund of cash too....enough to pay my bills for 4 straight months, should I lose my job. I know its not much, but I save about10% of my take home pay, and stash it, just in case. It sure would suck, if someday, there was another stockmarket crash, the banks were shut down, and you couldn't get at your money. T'would be nice to have a stash wouldn't it? That being said, when your neighbors start noticing, that you are still able to purchase food, supplies, etc, and they have nothing, it could drive them to desparation and you could find yourself having to protect your family and goods. This isn't paranoid militia mentality....its just being prepared for bad things, and hoping it never gets bad.
