I'm probably on RD's ignore list.... The thing we all took issue with was, as you just admitted, you had very little info to go on; but instead of just posting the facts, and waiting for more info -- you immediately assumed it was someone from another country and went on an anti-immigration...

The shooter was a local Las Vegas resident named Stephen Paddock. While it was an act of domestic terror, you had NO business posting anti-immigration rhetoric in relation to it. You have created fake news with your post. If you have a shred of integrity, you'd apologize and ask for this thread...

I'm on your side, Alcott. As I said, I was attempting to add, not detract. For FTW: if we're not going to allow people with "mental problems" to purchase guns, why would we allow them the opportunity to use a 2,000-3,000 pound projectile instead? It's already been shown that people will use...

To add, not detract - are people with mental problems denied driver's licenses?

So let me guess - you mentioned you were a street evangelist who occasionally has a Mike's Hard Lemonade, and this guy went to town on you for drinking. He may be wrong, but you're still looking for justification and validation.

So FTW - you're suggesting that I shouldn't be able to purchase firearms if I want to?

I know you said you're not an Apple fanboy; but I deal with this topic on a daily basis. If someone doesn't have an antivirus program on their Apple device, they're an idiot. Whatever happened to Apple's "it just works" motto? I've spent the last couple of weeks looking for solutions to cast...

Side effects? Hmm.... Had a vasectomy in '94; decided 2 kids was all I wanted. Did the usual testing afterwards; officially declared "shooting blanks" (sorry if that's offensive; couldn't think of another way to put it). Wife and I saved in '95. We attended church Valentine's Banquet in Feb...

Steve didn't run that tight a ship. There's malware for Apple products; just not as much, nor as widely reported on, as for Windows.

Did I miss it? I was taking a nap, and want to make sure I didn't put out the lawn chair fer nuthin'....

It's a Ray in a sea of darkness....

Oh, I understood; just saw an opportunity to educate about some lesser-known areas of the AF. <grin>

2 things to consider here: 1) of those 15,000 pilots and navigators, most are in "support" positions ("heavy lifters," transport, etc.). The number of pilots in actual combat-related positions (F-16s, F-22s, F-35s, A-10s, etc.). 2) There are also Spec Ops Air Force personnel who are not pilots...

How would drones or robots prevent illegal border crossings?

Well, see, that's the thing -- that happened in the future, and the super gravity of the black hole combined with relativistic effects, super-compressed the transmission, causing it to be received in the past, which means we have the opportunity to change those events because we now know about...

CTB - do you understand the difference between reporting the news, and creating it? Your linked article is an excellent example of the second, not the first.

I was in Biloxi during and for some time after Katrina. One of the people I worked with was sitting on his porch (no power), when a truck with Florida plates drove into his cul-de-sac. Three men hopped out. He hollered over at them, "Can I help you?" They laughed and said, "No, we're just...

Tom - please don't take me out of context.
