Thank you for pointing that out. I think I am responding to the wrong post or thread. My post was with reference to the thread where a police officer had shot a serviceman to death simply because he answered the door with a gun in his hand. And Loren Pechtel was defending the actions of the...

You don't understand what Loren Pechtel is telling you, probably because his worldview is so different from yours that your mind cannot make that jump. Loren, and millions of people like him in the US, worship authority in all its forms, from an orange faced criminal imbecile who can barely...

I am reading Book 8 of the Sven Hassel collection. I started reading Legion of the Damned, the first book he wrote last October and bought the entire 14 book collection on Kindle shortly thereafter. These are fictional stories written by a soldier in one of the penal tank regiments in the German...

A bullet from an AR15 can travel through 4 inches of wood and still have enough energy to penetrate body armor and kill the human wearing it. A wall with sheetrock and insulation offers considerably less resistance than the wood. A common sidearm round like the 9mm or 45 auto can penetrate...

What is a kink community?

You missed your vocation. You should have been a writer.

How many mg per hour of Dilaudid would constitute sufficient pain relief in your opinion? What happens when the patient gets habituated to Dilaudid and it no longer works? What happens when the Dilaudid puts the patient into respiratory failure and you have to induce a coma and put them on a...

The only time I have had to treat gunshot wounds in the ED was in the 70's when I was working on my residency in Boston. High powered rifle wounds were rare in those days, and we would primarily see wounds from handguns. In my practice as an attending, I would get called in to the ED for a...

So you have never owned any of these guns; you have never carried any of these guns as part of your job duties; you have never been trained to use these guns in any kind of formal or informal setting; you have never used these guns for hunting or recreation, other than shooting an AR15 at a...

I have read his posting history and I am convinced that the ignorance is deliberate. Learning stuff can be detrimental to religious faith, and the thought of losing one's faith can be terrifying, so ignorance is used as a shield. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone who has been on these...

Rifles shoot bullets at anywhere from 2,500 to 3,500 fps typically. A far cry from handguns which fire bullets at anywhere from 800 to 1,200 fps typically. The same projectile fired from a rifle or even a short-barreled carbine will have much more energy than that fired from a 4 or 5 inch pistol...

Very well said. I read a book on this subject last year - A Universe From Nothing by Dr. Lawrence Krauss, and I found it somewhat dense and unintuitive. One distinction or wrinkle that he added is the question of whether the word "nothing" means empty space (no matter or energy) or of a...

I was pointing out a factual error in your post. A factual error that serves as the foundational premise for the hypothesis you provided later in the post. Perhaps you should stick to making skinny points in the future. Your chubby points don't have the wind to make it to the finish line...

This is what I said: I did not claim God created cancer. I argued the position that is highlighted in my post above. I am an atheist and I don't believe God exists. And you would know this from my posts and by looking at my profile. And the context and meaning of my post would have been...

Oh, he gets it. I am sure of that. It is impossible not to recognize the meaning and context of my statements, but Lion manages to do just that anyway. Pretending that atheists believe in God and blame God for various phenomena is an act, designed to draw our attention away from the fact that...
