That’s the way the System supposed to work though. The local school district is supposed to be run by those citizens. They elect the school boards that set the policies and appoint the administrators. It’s supposed to be representative government. The citizens are supposed to monitor what this board is doing and if they don’t like it vote them out. Make their voices heard. Show up at school board meetings. That’s their responsibility. If they don’t want to do it then they have to live with the consequences.

Netanyahu is very friendly with Putin. I don’t know if I would trust that gift personally.

He’s a straight up reform plant. Nothing else makes sense at this point.

It ain’t been all that private

It’s a real convenient belief for him to have isn’t it? The way to end the world is to regulate me and my business in any way whatsoever. And people take him seriously. Can we all start doing this? Can you get out of traffic tickets this way? Tell cops that give you a ticket will end the world? Maybe I’ll tell the IRS that taxing me in any way will bring about the Antichrist

Figure it out Socrates.

I’m not sure what this is in reference to. The curved line you drew? It undermines your entire argument. That’s what.

You did notice that wasn’t a straight line you just drew right?

Also you’re very obsessed with those videos he posted. I’ve seen them before they’re not new videos. I’ve shot a 50 caliber before. I’ve had ricochets bounce back at me before. I’m not quite sure why he chose a 50 caliber for his example by the way it’s an absurd example to use. The reason I don’t talk about them much is because they’re irrelevant. No one’s arguing that ricochet’s don’t occur. Third time I’ve had to say that.

Counter examples to what? You’re saying that someone shot down that range and it ricocheted directly back into the baseball field? Like what’s the argument here? That’s the problem I’m having you and the other guy, or your alt I’m not sure, haven’t made any arguments about the feasibility of a Ricochet from that range going to that field. Which we know didn’t happen by the way. That’s not even in question. But even the possibility you haven’t given any evidence for. You’re arguing that ricochets can happen. Which is not the argument.

My example is basic geometry and basic physics. Learn how angles work dude I don’t know. Learn that bullets can’t turn 45° in midair. What are you arguing. Trace the line for me. Trace the line from down the range back around the dirt embankments and toward the field.

She was pressed on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” about why she didn’t anticipate such action and responded that she believed “titans of industry would be guardrails for our democracy.”

“And one by one by one, they have been silent, they have been … feckless,” Harris said. “It’s not like they’re going to lose their yacht or their house in the Hamptons.”

“Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy."

This is such a quintessentialy liberal mindset it makes my eyes bleed just to read it.

The issue isn’t the distance, though I think it’s further than you think, it’s angle. You can see where the range is. You can see where the baseball field is. It’s not possible. The JFK bullet couldn’t do this. He made a good case for ricochets being a thing that happens, not in this case.

The range of a round when fired and the range of a round after it hits a rock and bounces are two incredibly vastly different things. Also nobody’s talking about a bullet falling from the sky. Look at where that range is look at the angle from which they’re firing and look at where the baseball field is. There is no possibility a Ricochet fired at that range could bounce back into that baseball field like they claim. It’s not possible.

There is no amount of Ricochet on this Earth that would result in this.

Basically for Protestants in particular you have to have suicide be a hellworthy offense. Because if the only single thing you need to do to get into heaven is to accept Jesus as your lord and savior, requiring nothing else and wiping away any past wrongs, then there is no incentive not to just immediately kill yourself afterwards and go straight to heaven. It would quickly devolve into a death cult. Don’t want that cuz you can’t grift them all out of money if they kill themselves.

Well that’s swell and all, but you can’t say that not do it. You can’t make that kind of bluff to a bully like Russia and not back it up. Cuz if you do back down that’s just emboldening the bully. They will view it as weakness and an invitation to go further. If they don’t shoot down the next plane that crosses their border Russia will escalate significantly.

A party not having the majority doesn’t stop fascism from taking over as Germany well knows.

Capitalism. That’s always the answer.

I imagine they’re starting to have loyalty issues. Seemingly endless war to which they can’t seem to win, complete drain on the economy. There’s got to be Rumblings. So you kill some people they’re talking too loud I guess, or people who don’t tow the party line strong enough.

Even if you don’t think it’s happening already though, obviously it’s going to head that way. That’s just human nature.
