There are Shankster threads/post still around....

That's an interesting link, thanks! I'm not sure about 'doing nothing' and the argument of 'they'll never come here' is not a strong one given past history. Unfortunately, we've shown ourselves to be up for a fight without a good plan on how to fight it. We let OBL get away in Tora Bora (read...

this is a fucking disaster. The lack of CCW was a major reason for my refusing to discuss moving back to CA... news of this must be shut down... ....yay....

I want to make an apology to Doc. I said some downright shitty and stupid things to him without any real basis. I'm a passionate guy about some things and I lost my shit. Sorry Doc, and thank you very much for your service. Cheers

I'd like to segue to something I think we've avoided discussing - what causes islamic radicalism? Is it religious fervor or is it perhaps a reaction to outside influences mixed with deep religious conviction? I came across this...

You're pushing hard for a 'nunya' comment aren't you? If the people who want to know details on things that may be close to IP then call the company directly. Why would you expect a dealer, on an open forum to be the gopher for you? Orkan's fielded more crap than he really ought to from...

We declared a war against Germany, not Nazism. We went to war against nation states - Germany, Japan, Italy etc. We did not, declare war against ideology. We went to war only after an act of war was committed against us. We may have associated, strongly, those states with political...

It's getting late so I'm going to end with this. I usually don't like anecdotes as they serve no purpose in a credible debate but when I mentioned Malaysia it reminded me of a good friend of mine, a Malay called Rashid. Rashid hits the mosque, knows the koran, doesn't eat pig but he's also...

I take you point, I went full retard but as I said earlier, it doesn't have to get to that hypothetical point before it becomes real for me - it already has hence my emotional response to this. I regret the profanity, it's not useful.

I really don't have a problem with this. I have no positive thoughts about islam whatsoever and in fact, the country I was born in, Iran has had all the negative effects of islam that you've mentioned. Backwardation, economic desolation and suppression. They punish women in horrific ways who...

Here's my proposed solution (by the way, you've not cited any facts). Civics. Teach civics in schools, universities and all public employees - military, police, DMV etc MUST pass to an advanced level on the understanding and application of US civics. The primary purpose of becoming or being...

Again, I have no points of contention here... I agree. If any of my previous posts are still around where this issue has come up you'll find yourself violently agreeing with me...

Incompatibility of the Constitution and any dogma that subjects the will of the individual to the will of the group or 'higher' power above the law of the land is the same. Look at the mega-churches that are pushing to subject laws and education to their christian beliefs despite the clear...

That's good thinking there. It's just saying gun owners are murderous thugs because Charlton Heston dared raise a rifle over his head after the Columbine shootings... Seriously... I'm exhausted. Too many people who can't see what the fuck they're saying has every opportunity on back firing...
