Lol.. a scenario that exists largely only in your head and you paint every person who thinks the constitution matters with your brush of ignorance.

Some people will never stop amazing me.

Is your google finger broken? No Dianne Feinstein does not have a CCW. She may still have the pistol but has publicly claimed she got rid of it too. She wasn't a big gun control champion when she had her CCW either. The only reason we know about it is that she admitted having previously had one when trying to institute an assault weapons ban.

But hey, as long as you can say someone else is wrong- amiright? Oh, and you may have failed the reading comprehension, I certainly did not. Try reading the rest of my post. Perhaps it is above your level and you should ask you mom to come into the basement and help you understand it or something?

There use to be software or a process with a human that would listen in on tech support calls while the person was on hold. It would try to detect key words like cussing and so on to determine the level of upset the user was. It would then transfer the calls a little sooner than if they stayed in original queue.

I used to just start spouting random swear words in hopes of going to the front of the line. Had an employer catch me doing it once and was about ready to fire me until he found out why. Sometimes it appears to work, most of the time it just relieves some stress.

Well, technically he has. There used to be an ice cream shop right on base. It sold burgers and shakes and stuff too. It was named Guantanamo. He shut it down and now the servicemen have to go into Cuba proper in order to get ice cream. That is why normalizing relations with Cuba was so damn important.

hmm.. the spiral stair case problem... I guess that is what we can call it.

I think you are ignoring reality in order to press whatever ideology you want to be true.

With the exception of the democrat in California who was running guns and creating his own little market niche by championing and passing gun control laws, almost all prominent gun control advocates do in fact have armed security around them the majority of time they are in public. They do no arm themselves unless you consider hiring armed thugs or having armed police provided by the state to be arming yourself.

BTW, intelligence does enter into it. How else do you compensate for or explain the "I won't arm myself but pay others to arm themselves for me while actively trying to stop others from protecting their families" mentality and pretending it somehow makes them better than everyone else.

You might be on to something. Now if you just add that the smart people end up hiring the stupid people to be armed and around them to protect them while decrying the evils of guns, you might have a solid theory on your hands.

Oh and no, I wasn't being sarcastic. I think it's stupid for people to arm themselves and put their life in danger in order to protect some rich asshat or politician or whatever that seems to have pissed enough people off that they fear for their lives for the pittance of salary a lot of these people make. It seems like all the largest mouth pieces against guns sure have a lot of them around in the hands of hired help to protect them.

If diversity is rated as a qualification higher than training, abilities and skills, it not only can be, but likely would be the problem.

Diversity is great when it happens naturally due to qualifications for the job itself. It likely becomes one of the strongest positions to administer from. It is a liability when it is done irrespective of qualifications and to some political motivation. It also breeds contempt and disrespect for those under qualified which tend to be associated with thier overriding qualification be it sex, sexual orientation, race or religion or whatever. When John cannot competently do his job and it appears he was hired because he is really a handicapped black girl pretending to be a man so he fills a couple diversity quotas, it eventually gets associated with people like that. It's completely counterproductive to the point being made.

Now i do not know if this is happening anywhere but the concern is legitimate. I have worked with and under unqualified people before. Usually it is because of some family relationships with the owner and not because of quotas. I grew to resent all "family run" businesses i even consider working for.

You kind of butchered it with the reboot is near being after the fact but otherwise excellent job.

BTW, I think that is one of the best movies ever. Lots of people don't realize what it was making fun of though.

lol.. and what's it to you. Outside of being wrong, I doubt you even have a fucking clue. Some crap that doesn't scale with the page on the article's site blocks the text when I try to enlarge the text enough to even read it on my phone. That is why I haven't read it but with defenders like you, I'm positive it is just drivel not worth reading anyways.

Just wanted to add, don't stop at the recommendations the software suggest.

I had a client who decided to go with the hardware recommendations provided by the software vendor against my objections. Six months after we were up and running, the software which was the entire point of the ordeal released an update that slowed everything down enormously. Turns out, their "recommended" hardware specs were slightly better than their minimum specs on the new version of the software and the server had also been purposed to do a few other minor things that ran in conjunction with the software. You might as well say it was the minimum.

So by stopping at the recommendations of the software vendor, they were presented with a setback no one was really thinking about. They could either roll back the software version negating the support and upgrade purchase plan, suffer the slow speeds and hope the vendor doesn't slow it any more, or replace good hardware that they really didn't have a use for outside of the specific software. They eventually let me completely overkill a server to replace it.

So unless the software vendor says there is a limit, reasonably increase the power and memory of their recommendations for future proofing. Just keep in mind you will want to eventually replace the hardware anyways else risk suffering down time from the inevitable failures.

I was thinking much the same thing. I didn't read the article but am wondering how much of this increase coincided with the PACA and the expansion of medicaid.

But if we are looking at poor areas with an infusion of money, of course people will be more active then they used to be and this alone should cause an uptick in hospital or doctors visits.

Open Google and type define few into the search box.

My point was that it has been happening since FDR that i know of and likely earlier to some degree.

Few doesn't even start to cover it.

Lol.. its so sweet that you think it's only the last two administrations in the US. Have you ever heard of echelon or magic lantern? Do you even know why there is a FISA law in the first place? (Its because the courts outlawed domestic spying and the FBI simply had the CIA do it under the guise of foreign spying and relay incriminating evidence back.)

It's systematic with about anyone in power in the history of the US after Roosevelt took office.

As a teenager, I recieved a citation for "peeling and squealing" my tires. Being under 18, it was a mandatory court appearance along with a parent. My dad told the judge the noise the officer thought he heard was a power steering belt slipping and he replaced it two days latter. The judge made some comment about calling the cop a liar and dad replied "jesus christ, itsca worn out ford pinto with a four cylinder, exactly what make anyone think its capable of peeling and squealing ". I had to pay a $65 fine and was told if i was ever in front of him again i would lose my license.

Even if you have a good excuse (my buddy is alergic to bee stings and we need to get him to a hospital fast or he will die), it might not matter if the jurisdiction is only after money.
