Hey, I have a gun. You don't want to break into my place in the middle of
the night. I have a Remingten 20 guage youth model. I don't think I would
be able to take more than one shot, since it would like to knock me on my
butt. My granddad got it for me a couple of years ago.


"Youth Model," funny. Did it come with a bible?



? You never heard of that? It's for women or smaller people. Look it up.


You really should go shoot it and get used to the proper way to hold
it. It will NOT knock you on your butt.
We had lots of ladies on the skeet league I was on and they all shot
12 gauge.
Skeet is an excellent shooting sport if you have a facility nearby and
they usually have certified instructors there who will teach you
everything you need to know about safe shooting and the game in
general.



What? Shoot defenseless skeet?

Are you unaware of the good work done by the Save the Skeets Foundation?

Seriously, the Rem 870 20 gauge youth model (i'm guessing here) is a
fine shotgun, and "Ms. Nom" ought to learn to fire it safely. There's
not that much kick, and if it is troublesome, a pad can be installed.

Seems more in tune with your post, that Moore hates Capitalism and

It's a good thing the movie was a flop and didn't make any money...
that would be capitalism. ;-

I wouldn't pick out Medicare as a good example.
They collect 3% of every wage dollar earned in the country, only
provide health care for about 15% of the population and they are going
broke. Their waste and fraud rate is worse than the insurance company
"overhead" we keep hearing about.




Hard to know what to believe. The Republicans have always been opposed
to Social Security and Medicare. Info from that side is, and always
will be, that these programs don't work.

Republicans have been opposed to child labor laws, and worker protection
laws. They have favored poll taxes and I'm sure there are many who
would like to go back to the days of only white male property owners
being able to vote.

By the way, I had a moment of awakening while watching Fox News "What's
the matter with Acorn." I now understand the issue with Acorn.

It's exactly the paragraph above. Acorn gave rights to people who the
Republican's deep down don't believe deserve the same rights and
privileges that the rest enjoy. It's the voter registration drive that
really ****es them off. How DARE them register people who didn't earn
their place in society.

The only question I have is why do you think getting the government
involved will make that any cheaper or better?

These are the same people who bought the $600 toilet seats and the
$300 hammer.
Maybe if you could shoot all the lobbyists and lawyers it might work
but you would still have all those gold bricking congressmen trying to
get more federal bucks into their district.


If you think that $27 Tylenol in the hospitial is expensive just wait
until the government gets a hold of all of the health care.


The $27 bottle of Tylenol is exactly the problem, but it's an example.

You know how many people pay their medical bills? 2/3. It's up to
these people to pay for the others. That's why medical bills contain
prices like this.

Free enterprise, profits must be made, and who is to pay for those who
don't? You and I.

We pay more than any other country for medical care. What's YOUR idea?
Throwing stones isn't a solution.

By the way, "just wait until the government gets a hold of all of the
health care" is a scare tactic. Stop being a junior Sara Palin.

i don't think they've ever really changed their position from the 1957
article william f. buckley wrote extolling the virtues of white
civilization and insisting poll taxes, literacy tests, etc, be used to
screen voters.

I know how, but it's pretty powerful. I'd imagine that I'd be pretty freaked
out having to shoot at someone, be in bare feet on a slippery floor, etc.
Besides, I don't weight that much (or so I'm claiming).

It's Em. I was not completely serious about it actually knocking me down,
but I don't think I'd be in much control after the first shot.

it's a wonder he is still around......

Just like in "Roger and Me," where he told us of GM's impending
challenges, the "fat pig" might have a point to make on health care.

He made quite a few in "Sicko," but you would have to get past the
name
calling to take a look at it to see what that point might be.

I'll give you a clue:
The US is #1 ONLY in how much we pay, we are not #1 in life
expectancy,
or any other measure of health care. France, which has the #1 rated
health care system (we are #27) pays half what we pay.

You have to get over your bias towards new information to accept that
France, or any number of other countries, might be a place we can
learn
from.

Watching out Health Care "debate" makes me wonder about how we can
expect to ever be #1 at anything when there are so many people willing
to accept outright lies as fact, and make their choices based upon
false
info that fits their predisposed leanings.

Name calling is so much easier for the mentally challenged. And it
works so well.

I wonder how many illegal aliens are adding to the bad statistics in
France? I wonder how many of France's deaths are caused by inner city
shootings and knifings? Just wondering.- Hide quoted text -

A 20-gauge doesn't have a lot of kick, not even to a woman who doesn't
weigh much.
