Don't be silly Conrad, this is nothing like the nineteen thirties, the idea seems perfectly reasonable to me, why do we all have to suffer because a certain section of society is stupid and suspicious? Trump's rallies and his encouragement to his supporter to stand down and stand ready on the other hand is very nineteen thirties.
If you're going to reply Conrad don't forget your favourite emoticon!
Ana, When people say it is an experimental vaccine they don't understand that most of the work on vaccines has already been done, years ago. They have a head start and may not have a lot to do to get a specific vaccine fine tuned for use. That's why the saying 'standing on the shoulders of giants' describes a lot of what they do, most of the work has already been done.
I don't know what they are called, I believe that anything that can fire bullets at the speed they do is something suitable for a battlefield only, not personal protection.
I don't want to take guns off the law abiding people of America. If you did you would end up with just criminals having them, as you point out. I want to take away guns that were designed for use on the battlefield. I think the use of guns should be minimised and reduced. I doubt if they can ever be eliminated though.
@Boh Not surprisingly you call someone a communist just because they want gun control, and suggest they go to North Korea. The mark of a fool is to attribute outrageous motives to anyone who has a different opinion to theirs. You would have made a good Joe McCarthy.
Moonmist. There are many people who have no judgement or critical ability. They vote for Trump. One contributor here says that the MSM is not to be relied on. Such people trawl the net until they find someone who agrees with what they say, as will happen if you spend enough time on it.. What they don't understand is that the MSN has standards, such as checking on sources, looking at things critically. The internet warrior has none of these. That's why the MSN is a hundred times more reliable than the non-mainstream media. Of course the MSN leans to the left alright, that's why Fox came into being, to counter that. While leaning to the left they at least don't tell lies, outright lies, as the internet warriors do.
Dismissing the MSM out of hand is the adult equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and chanting 'not listening....not listening.....not'
Mic, I agree with you on this one, it's not fair on women to compete with transwomen in sport as transwomen have a male musculature, that's too much of an advantage.
If I remember right a billion in Europe was one million multiplied by one million. In the US however it was one thousand multiplied by one million, I think nowdays that the American version is the accepted one.
Riz, you're right about people like String spreading nonsense but in fairness it's not his fault, some people are just born gullible and dimwitted. Some may take what he says seriously, which would be a pity.
Yeah I see a pattern alright, someone who calls someone else a 'knucklehead' and in the next breath says the election was stolen.....you couldn't make it up....
That's a bit harsh jac.......of course it's a tragedy when you think deeply about it. When you hear the story for the first time however it's ok to laugh a bit, we're only human after all.
@phil, Your roomate is wrong, just a drop of oil is all you need. YUCK!!!
Trial and error is the way to learn with cooking. Things like soup, stew, casserole are basically the same thing but differ from country to country in ingredients. Try cooking a big stew once a week and put most of it in containers and into the freezer. Or put in the fridge if using in the next day or two. You will be surprised that it tastes better the following day as the flavours 'come out'. It's as easy to cook three or four meals as it is to cook one this way.
Hi ed, yeah I've seen the place alright and it's scary. We don't have anything that bad here in Ireland although on a smaller scale not too different. Can't agree with you on the stealing part, only a minority of homeless in my experience are thieves.
Well k ann I think if you look at the recent history of the debates on here that it's the other way around. Believers are condescending and often rude towards non believers.

Read crime and punishment a few year's ago. A long read but a great book.
