    Slow day at work.... 23 of LawnNM's list have a post count of less than 10. Why does that matter? It doesn't. And I finally figured out what this is.....its the thing that gets my back ordered new Stiener here this month.

    Maggie’s 9+6=15 Common Core. Are you fucking kidding me?

    MTT and PM have, in my opinion, called out the crux of the problem. One needs to learn how to learn before formal education can be successful and that does not happen at school. I managed a $10+ mill annual budget from a large Tech company donating technology to local public schools. Ones skin...

    Training Courses Training for a new shooter in CA?

    Probably the best closest place is Sac Valley. Here is a link for a number of clubs. Sacramento Valley Shooting Center :: Clubs Assuming you are on this site for precision shooting I would recommend NCPPRC: News. They are great folks and very welcoming. Not sure they have formal instruction...

    just a question...

    I suspect the issue is a matter of terms. For many the clinical def of ethnicity is driven by race(ie DNA differences) where as others define ethnicity as a group that follows common traditions, beliefs, etc. If you are utilzing ethnicity=a group with common traits, mores, etc then I can...

    just a question...

    While I agree with parts of what you say I am, frankly, struggling with some of your logic. Can you please define 'culture'? The reason I ask is that, from your comments, I cant exactly determine how you are using that term. Notably, culture tends to be described, in the popular vernacular as...

    Memo to Merkel on Ukraine - Worth the Read

    In your opinion do 'they' (the Ukrains) want help? I ask as I was talking with my sister in law about this (She was born/raised in Prague) and she indicated that the Ukrain is a fractured mess and that there is no 'they' there to help. Certainly there are individuals that have a solid...

    Tell me what i would gain by moving to CA.

    Poly, Why are you so worried what folks here say? I was born and raised in CA and still live here. I have my reasons for living here and, while I may not always reside here, I do now. ...by choice. For those that think me a fool for living here they dont know all the facts. If they did I...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    That really depends on a lot of things. Most of the big corporate farms do pretty well. Some from economies of scale and some from subsidies. Smaller operations really struggle over the long haul. Its a very tough business to be in and I am pretty sure the US population is not very aware of...

    Maggie’s Ever get the feeling it's time to move on?

    In my statistically valid sample size of about 20 union reps I would say most support those they want to and if they have not jumped in to help already that tells you everything you need to know about them. Why get caught up in the mess as they will only drag you down to their level where...

    Tell me what i would gain by moving to CA.

    Depending on how much you make, the real upside is you will be able to see, every day, who gets the 56% of your income that comes out in taxes.

    Remington moves 2 lines from NY to Ala. due to Cuomo's "Safe Act"

    I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of smart folks in hi tech, financial and health care industries. No one I have met in those industry is head and shoulders above those I have worked with in Huntsville. While I cant speak, from first hand knowledge, for the entire state, there is...

    James Foley, an American journalist, Beheaded, French, Spanish, Journalists released

    I am shocked that they are claiming its a rapper. I would have placed money on the fact that it would end up being one of those violent extremists from the Country/Western crowd. You know.....like Alan Jackson or George Strait.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Smith & Wesson M&P Night Sights?

    all our M&P's have the Trijicons, and we like them, however on the 9c I am thinking about going to fiber optics like the ameriglo's. I could be wrong or, maybe, I gunked up the Trijicons on the 9c but they seem less visible than the Shield and the regular size .45. I am leaning towards the...

    I agree with you and your not being obtuse. I believe we are saying the same thing and using different phrasing. Thanks for explaining your thinking....much appreciated.

    St Louis riot

    +1 on this from MTT. If you choose to look at people, in the US, in subgroups then, as MTT states, they are not a homogeneous group with a shared history. Many divergent paths were taking by all but the native americans to get here(migratory caveat noted). Each group has, somewhere in their...

    St Louis riot

    I am interested to in some examples of what is not equal. If we live in a nation of laws then its exactly equal and if you percieve it is not equal you have an equal chance at a remedy. Perhaps I am missing your point here.

    St Louis riot

    Whether you define 'success' from the anthropological perspective, the moral perspective or the religious perspective 'moral equivalency' never works and history is replete with examples of these failures. The probability of mapping to 'success' rapidly approaches 0 if you are not taught, from...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First 1911

    I haven't shot the fnx but many others. If I were in your shoes I would get the Colt or Springfield and just go shoot it. As you shoot it more and more you will find what you like about it and dont like. At that point send it to a good smith and tell them those likes and dislikes so they can...
