Right or wrong about what? Wait no. I can answer that without even know WTF you are referring to based on my observation of his track record and yours. Given a Trump vs Larry choice I will always bet on Trump.
Now answer my question. How has the travel ban sacrificed your essential liberties as an American? -

Originally posted by Fox I’ve been under real pressure before. I’ve obviously never been in a gunfight because I live in civilization not kandahar. But I’ve been in more regular fights than I can count where my life was threatened, 2 of which a knife got pulled on me, one where I actually got stabbed. You think when I saw that blade come out I even batted an eye? I still whooped their ass both times. I stopped experiencing fear along with most emotions a long time ago. Im dead inside

2020-02-22 at 8:12 PM UTC in Election ReformOne thing most people on both the left and the right can agree on is this. The way elections are handled in this country needs some work. Of course that is where the agreement stops and people get into which side is doing what and how it favors who. This thread is not for that. It is for ideas that would help the election process serve the people and not parties. I have long held (since before many of you were born) that the bi-partisan system significant part of the problem when it comes to elections serving parties and not people.
All across our land at every level of elected positions we are by and large given a choice of red or blue with perhaps a handful of notable exceptions. In primary races the state (read the people) has no say in how the peoples votes are counted or the rules for winning the nomination they are running for. These rules are all determined by private entities known as the DNC and the RNC. To break this two party private stranglehold aside from obvious measures such as term limits and unified rules across all 50 states ratified by the several legislatures for primary elections There is a simple reformation which would put more choice directly in the hands of the people.
Currently you have the choice to select any candidate on the ballot or write in a candidate of your choice. This almost always means pick red, pick blue, or write in a vote in protest against both candidates knowing full well that the name you wrote will never get the office. This results in a red or blue win almost every single time. The simple reform mentioned above which would break this system you ask. Require very ballot for any elected office at any level were required the following choice in addition to all candidates listed; "None of the above acceptable". Should the majority vote "none of the above acceptable" a new ballot at a special election would be presented to the people with none of the previous candidates on the new ballot. In addition candidates found not acceptable by the people on the original ballot would be barred from holding elected office for a period of five years. -

You are full of wrong even when you are actually trying to be right.
1954: The ArmaLite Company is Founded
1954-1956: ArmaLite Begins Designing Rifles In 1954, the first weapon was the AR-5. A bolt-action rifle with a .22 Hornet round was developed as a survival rifle for the flight crew in the U.S. Airforce.
1955: The U.S. Army Seeks a Replacement Rifle Armalite submits the AR 10 but does not get a contract.
1956-1959: International Licensing Agreement For The AR-10
1959: ArmaLite Sells the AR-15 Design to Colt who begins production for civilian sales as a hunting rifle.
1961: Eugene Stoner leaves Armalite and joins Colt as a consultant.
1963: The M-16 is born but not adopted by the US military who refuses to give up the inferior M14 for various reasons.
1965: The M-16 Becomes the Primary Service Rifle. Despite the continued resistance to the M16 production problems with the M-14 forced the hands of Robert McNamara, the U.S. Secretary of Defense. The United States needed a rifle that could be used in all four branches of service. The M-16 would be this weapon. -

Originally posted by Splam What false sense of sovereignty do these tribes have? They tried to open a dispensary on a native res not far from my house. They got shut down shortly by provincial authorities. So basically it goes Feds > Province > Tribe. When they're selling drugs, it doesn't take them long. But blocking Canada's economy, that's their God given right. In no way can the first nations claim to be sovereign unless they shoot at any authorities entering their land.
So why the hell can't the pipeline go through? Reconciliation my ass. What they want is more money, a buyout. They want their UBI for tribe members to be 2000$ a month instead of 1500$ a month.
It's all about a sense of entitlement for things done by dead people to dead people just like the niggers in the US. -

Originally posted by Splam Fact is America should have no jurisdiction of what American citizens do outside of it's own border. You wanna come to Canada and smoke weed? You've committed no crime. You wanna visit Tehran? Who's to tell you not to?
Then there's international law and the law of the country you're visiting, which should be respected. No US citizen should be held to US law when they're outside the US. Else us in Canada might as well deny selling our weed to tourists.
No.
The U.S. maintains embargoes against several countries. Many of these include travel restrictions. The U.S. government generally holds that U.S. citizens are liable for taxes, regardless of where they live. Many countries have tax treaties with the U.S. that in some cases reduces or eliminates this burden, but in general, if you are a U.S. citizen and you make enough money in a foreign country, the U.S. government will expect you to pay U.S. taxes. The Wall Street Journal blog published an article titled; "The U.S. is the only industrialized country that requires citizens to pay income tax on offshore earnings, and many are finding the complications and cost of maintaining U.S. citizenship abroad to be increasingly burdensome."
It is against U.S. law (the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) to bribe foreign officials regardless of where you are when you do it. The U.S. also sometimes has jurisdiction in foreign countries. Obvious examples would be military bases and embassies, and all vessels registered in the U.S. Besides the fact that saying that airlines can't use airports on US soil to depart to certain nations is not applying US law to citizens who are abroad. -

I'm not arguing with him. He has no argument. The travel ban simply does not sacrifice the essential liberties of Americans for security. The Patriot Act is great example of legislation which sacrificed our essential liberties for the illusion of security. I am trying to get him to explain why he thinks the travel ban infringes on his essential liberties. -

their homologs.
The AR-15 was introduced in 1959 the M16 was not a thing until 1964. You are too stupid to play in my sandbox. No go away before I mistake you for a turd and bury you.
