The phrase typically does not refer to those sorts of things.

Does it refer to safeties on handguns? You know, neither of my revolvers, one of which is the
"Highway Patrolman" has a safety. They must be 'bad' guns, huh?

Have you figured out the difference between polymer and alloy yet? Or
whether you should winterize your outboard's innards with WD 40? Or
whether you should use two cycle oil in your four stroke outboard?

If I were in your shoes I'd be doing the same thing.

I learned this trick from you:

Have you figured out the difference between polymer and alloy yet?
Absolutely! That was a rhetorical question for Tim.

Or whether you should winterize your outboard's innards with WD 40?
Absolutely! That was a comment made by a Dutch mechanic which I posted for comments. Got 'em too!

Or whether you should use two cycle oil in your four stroke outboard?
That was never an issue. One of our other readers questioned that, after misreading a post.

Now, see how easy that was? Perhaps you'd care to expound on just why you put the safety on after
loading a round on the range. Do you stand around and bull****?

Already told you, Herring. Not interested in playing your moronic game.

And all your responses immediately above are bull****.

They may, to you ESAD, be bull****, but they are *true*. That's the big difference.

You have to remember, the conservative's idea of "good things" are all
things that money can buy, and especially when the money comes from
political action groups.

Not at all,
What is he missing?
Does he lack love?
Is his health bad?
Is he hungry?
Does he not have freedom of religion?
Can he travel freely?
Is he homeless?
We have the right to pursue happiness not the guarantee of happiness.
I want to know, What is he missing?

That demonstrates that the federal government spent all of the surplus

The don't have to "pay it back". It's a trust fund. Do you need me to
tell you to look it up?


How far do you have to go back to actually see the federal government
paying down a dime of the debt?
(hint: new cars had tail fins)

Which has nothing to do with anything.

Medicare is in worse shape, but not catastrophically so... and again,
it will be decades before it becomes so. A fix is indicated, but not
on the backs of middle and lower income.

There are not enough rich people to save these programs, who do you
think will have to pay?

You're just being deliberately dense. The worst thing we can right now
is make middle and lower income families pay more. When the economy
recovers, then the middle income families will be able to afford to
help a bit more.


If you took every dime from the Forbes 400, it would run SS for about
175 days.
The middle class is going to have to pay more, at least the Clinton
tax rates and maybe even the Reagan tax rates.


Which has nothing to do with anything. Feel free to hide under your
house if you're that afraid.

Do you really think medical care will ever cost less?

Don't know. I do know that the rate of increase can be slowed. It
doesn't need to exceed inflation the way it does.

But you know, right?


I can look at the trends.


Feel free. The US has been solvent and paid it's debts since the
1700s.

Well fine, let's see us pay off the 17 trillion debt.
If our debt was called today, we would be insolvent.
The problem for our debtees, is we are to big to force us
into insolvency.

They (the US gov) is not paying it back. We 51% hardworking tax paying
Americans are paying the interest on the debt, at the same time we are
paying money and providing services to the 30% that can't take care of
themselves. That's not legitimate, everyone that votes should have skin

I would not willingly put money in a Ponzi scheme in the first place.


That's not even close to what I asked.


If you are asking whether I will cash my SS checks, yes I will but I
do wonder how they are actually getting the money. Unfortunately a lot
of it is simply created out of thin air and I know that is the road to
runaway inflation.

Most of the poor and the middle class will get more back from SS then
they paid in. Myself, should get it all back in about 7* years, the next
14 are on your kids back.

*does not factor in inflation.
