Re: Is Trump doing a good job?

He keeps on winning. 75 days before the election piss off a US company, based in Ohio no less, that employs 10s of thousands of people.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

222 positive at ND. About a 20% positivity rate. Are any of these kids actually feeling sick or being hospitalized, Corto? Or are these just positive tests? Here in CT the numbers at UCONN are very low so far. Just talked to a friend whose kid goes there and found this online to corroborate what he...

Re: If you actually think black lives matter, watch this ad

No one has tried to directly address: — why aren't we able to get our Covid numbers under control like most of the westernized world? — why are our homicide rates worse than the rest of the westernized world? As the richest country in the world, why are we having such difficulty with these issues? A...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

No threshold levels ever communicated.

As best we could tell, ND was counting on hope a bit too much.

Originally the students were self selecting for tests and did a health screen every morning. Now that's changed to random, assuming they open back up to in person.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

222 positive at ND. About a 20% positivity rate. Does not bode well for any other schools in the nation. Gonna be pissed if I gotta strain my back loading up all the stuff again for a return home. Regardless of your position on Trump or governors, does not bode well for anyone in power staying in po...

Re: If you actually think black lives matter, watch this ad

This was a theoretical discussion. I know we can’t get rid of guns. My thoughts lately have been along these lines, esp since we keep on talking about BLM and Covid. — why are our CV numbers so much worse than the rest of the westernized world? — why are our homicide rates worse than the rest of the...

Re: If you actually think black lives matter, watch this ad

Pug, why does a country like the UK not have a similar black market for guns? I'm sure they have one for drugs.

Yes, for my plan to work all guns on the planet would need to disappear.

Re: If you actually think black lives matter, watch this ad

I absolutely agree on the divide by 5 for per capita murder, but then segregating out by race/color, that is certainly an angle you can go down but not what I was getting at. I was getting at that argument guns make it easier to kill people. So 16214/5 = 3242 murders in the US vs. 671 in the UK, wit...

That youtube video was already removed for 'violations, blah blah', but if you look at London where guns are completely banned, people use knives to kill people a-plenty. Agree with Shekels, it's not the legal gun owners, farmers, skeet shooters and hunters that are the problem. Criminals will get ...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

When something reopens, that will imply a certain unavoidable increase in infections. Masks and distancing can reduce the rate of spread, but they can't prevent spreading altogether. Do some people actually think it's possible to reopen businesses, schools, etc. without the number of infections ris...

I don't want to go anti-gun liberal here, but here's 2020 data from heyjackass. I wonder what the murder rates in the US would be if guns weren't accessible, like in so many other countries?

Well, I guess it's good that I did not even see this until now. Really, like 5-6x where it was in March?

Did I miss something? Did they sell a few million cars this past quarter? What a crock.

It's a great ad. I know you are ignoring me, but in case you see this, just tell me what things a republican mayor/council (whatever form of gvt they have) would do to change things?
