    Presidential Candidate Thread: Is Ron Paul good for the country?

    I see two sides of this coin. 1. The strict interpretation. In this case, I don't think any restrictions should be placed on any type of weapon, including the most destructive ever created. If you can run a nuclear reactor, it should be your right. I'm not kidding. 2. The...

    Presidential Candidate Thread: Is Ron Paul good for the country?

    It doesn't say "firearm" CM_Dude, it says "arms." Maybe I'm wrong in my interpretation, but that means any sort of weapon, including ordinance. And I think it's disingenuous to only talk about the cartridges fired and ignore the rate of fire. There can be no mistake that these...

    Presidential Candidate Thread: Is Ron Paul good for the country?

    Ok, so what about bombs? Machine guns mounted on helicopters? Mortars? Ignoring costs (criminal elements have resources). It may seem ridiculous. but I think it's pertinent. Either you allow *everything* as defined by the Constitution or you draw a distinction somewhere. If you...

    n00b question: What's the advantage of a CD vs. a "high yield" savings account that pays a similar rate? For example, if both a CD and a HYSA pay 5.5%, is there something about the way a CD compounds or what not that still makes it the superior investment if you're willing to tie...

    Presidential Candidate Thread: Is Ron Paul good for the country?

    For any type of weapon CM_Dude? No restriction on what is "reasonable" for a citizen to own? Remember, "arms" doesn't only encompass guns. At least that's how I interpret it.

    Crash Proof Peter Schiff

    My favorite is when she screams "ALL REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL" like a banshee. Slightly funnier than her claiming she's not trying to benefit by selling something.

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Square - Camden Place

    Would an inspector even find a problem like that that's below the surface? That just seems like shoddy/inexperienced construction to me. Shooby: I'd use that warranty to death if I were you. Better make them fix everything no matter how small while you can.

    Superficial Christmas Gift Questions

    I know Patek Phillipe has been around forever. A pocket watch from around 1905 was profiled on the Antiques Roadshow a few years back and was worth 100,000 bucks.

    Orange County sewage converted to drinking water

    I believe in science. If it undergoes an extremely rigorous purification process that is confirmed by trustworthy tests, it's fine with me. I'd agree with cactus, I trust what comes out of some of these lakes and rivers less.

    Anecdotal Evidence of Scaled Down Christmas Shopping Plans

    My family has done no presents for adults the last two years. But in our case it wasn't financial circumstances, we're all doing fine there. We're just revolting against needless consumerism. But it is fun to buy presents for my nieces and nephews.

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if Arnold raised car registration fees. That would be rich.
