  1. Doug Beaumont vs Highlands (scrimmage).

     

    He played both sides of the ball. It was downright criminal what he did to us on offense. I felt like he set a record for yards rushing in that scrimmage. There was a particular spin move he did that I remember to this day. We had 2 or 3 guys on him and he spun to the inside and took off for some more serious yards. Never seen Coach Weinrich so enraged during a game before. Best individual performance/athlete for me.

  2. You're advocating that we, as a nation, start holding family members equally responsible for crimes that are committed by other family members?

     

    I have no problem with questioning. Didn't the Orlando shooter's wife know about the attack? Getting information is different, but punishing a family for the crime seems mind bottling (Blades of Glory reference).

  3. Texas is going nowhere. Even the republicans in the state senate turn that bogus crap down. I had the displeasure of meeting a few of those Texans wanting to leave the union, not the brightest bunch. I was born in Texas, lived there throughout my life, got family from Texas. Texas and the good ol' US of A are staying with each other, even if it means we drag the crybabies that want to leave the union.

  4. Star Trek - Beginnings

     

    I love this stuff.

     

    Sometimes I wonder if we are getting slightly ahead of ourselves. I would like to see a Moon Base first, I think that will better prepare us for Mars Missions.

     

    Neil Degrasse Tyson said all it would take is for some leak of China wanting to build a base there and the US government would do it under a year.

  5. I guess it depends on who you listen to.

    So their crime went up after the gun ban and confiscation for a few years. I am curious as to what is leading the crime to go downward. Does it take time for the ban to settle or is it an increase of police. I also heard that Australians have as many guns now as they did before the port arthur massacre.

  6. :lol: I didn't even say assault weapon in my post. Assault weapon or Assault-type weapon would be correct. Assault rifle is reserved the fully automatic version by definition.

     

    Nevertheless it's ridiculous irrelevant use of semantics attempting to diminish any argument for change.

     

    I agree, but the whole focus on one weapon when handguns are have been used in more homicides isn't a good tactic either. Especially, when the AR15 wasn't used.

  7. That goes for everything. A minority does wrong and ruins it for everybody.

     

    The problem with us lefties is the AR15 type weapons are efficient killers. It's a fact that can't be denied. If they were banned the next weapon would not be as dangerous.

     

    How do we address those who do these things?

    How do you change the hearts of men?

    In all seriousness we aren't just talking about ISIS inspired attacks, we have our own problems here with hatred.

     

    A problem with some on the left is actually understanding what an "AR15 Type" weapon actually is. An AR15 is semiautomatic. It's not an assault weapon. According to the ATF that would be a fully automatic weapon.

     

    It helps to know the terms Hellcats. I say this because I want things to get done just like you. There are those that shut these conversations down, especially in congress because they use the "you don't even know what classifies as an assault weapon" defense.
