SF is entering year 2 with no cord. Haven't missed anything.

Thanks for the clarification IO - haven't bought a weapon in a long time.

Economic Systems: The alarmists keep telling us their concern about global warming is all about man's stewardship of the environment. But we know that's not true. A United Nations official has now confirmed this. At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism. "This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution," she said. Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history." The only economic model in the last 150 years that has ever worked at all is capitalism. The evidence is prima facie: From a feudal order that lasted a thousand years, produced zero growth and kept workdays long and lifespans short, the countries that have embraced free-market capitalism have enjoyed a system in which output has increased 70-fold, work days have been halved and lifespans doubled. BING-frickin-O.......

For this argument, you are assuming man-made global warming exists....... FTR - If natural occurring global climate change can happen in a way that melted the glaciers that formed the Great Lakes 15,000 years ago, SF isn't too worried that mankind will have much (if any) influence on the crisis being perpetuated as "global warming" today. If you want to discuss mankind's mismanagement of worldwide pollution and better ways to handle that - open the door.

Thought so..... So either black racism CAN exist, or someone (who is black) killing me because I am white is not racist just hateful?

LGBTQ - Now A..... https://www.theguardian.com/society/shortcuts/2019/mar/04/age-of-the-autosexual-the-people-sexually-attracted-to-themselves Age of the autosexual: the people sexually attracted to themselves

Hypothetical question - If racism (the MW definition) is not a 2 way street (as some on this site have opined), if an African American hated me because I was white and murdered me (as some on this website would probably celebrate - LOL) would he then be able to be charged with a hate crime?

Shhh - don't tell em that.......

So you must think MLK stood for for black superiority? He stood for equal rights for all........That is what he wanted......

Oh god......

According to my reading - Transfers or sales between family members are exempt from this. So if "strawman" purchases/sales are already illegal......Wouldn't the rampant abuse of this action already be non-existent? (being that the argument that most of the guns in Chicago are being legally purchased in Indiana or other states at gun shows.....) Reading about the Utah incident, I don't agree the new law would have prevented the shooting, but it would give the prosecution the footing to charge the person who loaned the weapon with a crime as well as the mother who is suing him. Either way, I am behind that guy getting anything thrown at him for what I and most gun owners would consider is negligence - you don't "loan" a gun to someone to take away from your control.

THAT FACE YOU MAKE WHEN......

But I'd agree with Gonzo that, in the USA, neither Farrakhan nor any other black person has the power to "inflict" racism on white people, so it is sort of a meaningless, "tree falling in the woods with no one around" debate as to whether there can be "black racism" in this country. https://100percentfedup.com/racist-msnbc-guest-claims-whites-dont-get-a-vote-on-whats-racist/ FTA - White people don’t get a vote! My people have been held in bondage and oppression in the New World for 400 years! My own counsel, will I keep on who is to be called “racist,” all right? So when these people — when these white Republicans try to tell me, and “Bagger Vance” standing behind her — when these people try to tell me who is racist and who is not racist, they need to understand that I do not care! But he is black, so he can't be racist.......SF is pretty sure this was not the America that MLK Jr. was envisioning.......

That's right, I forgot, you still believe there can't be a black racist......What about Jimmy Kimmel and his blackface moment mocking black athletes? FWIW - SF Stands behind his original post answering your "all racists are conservative" rant with pictures of persons I can point at direct racist incidents that were largely ignored............

So I assume her answer would be "No, I do not denounce Maduro".....Since the reporter didn't go all CNN Jim Acosta on her and demand an answer.....

Except for the price tag........"Just pay for it" (AOC - 11/6/18) seems to be her theme.....Kinda like "invest the Amazon tax credits".......

BTW - (IMHO) you can bank on the "Obstruction of Justice investigation" resulting in anything but static distraction.....
