Enough about slavery, we're talking about guns!

We were never a slave slate, asshole. I’m not in the south. What, I believe in gun rights so I’m a racist? What the fuck is your problem?

That stuff all exists in Canada. Even without using an AR15 for hunting. In fact there’s a lot of Americans who come up here to hunt game. But they can’t use AR15’s. 

Except you have some false idea about the AR-15 and Canada (I just checked, I was reading after someone mentioned Canada gun laws were better). I’m assuming you can’t have an AR-15 because it can be broken down and concealed (I don’t know), because you have a ton of high capacity, one piece, semi-automatic long guns that are totally acceptable for hunting. You also have semi-auto pistols. So yes, you can’t have an AR, but you can have any of a hundred other platforms that can do the exact same thing.

Most of that is worthless. I don’t have guns solely for the purpose of self defence.  And yes, I like guns. Like target shooting, hunting, I never once bought a gun with the intention of shooting a person. 

My my son is 12, he can finally hunt big game here. I also love spending time with him outdoors. Hunting, fishing and camping. It’s an important part of my states culture, my towns traditions, and my families best memories.

You mean people being reasonable for the good of society? Might be a British Commonwealth thing. 

 

Except that not one of these people who are giving up their guns were going to commit a gun crime anyway, so it’s a useless gesture.

The problem is mental health and illegal weapons in the hands of criminals. My AR-15 is no more threat to you than my bolt action rifles are. 

FFS, I’m glad we have a 2nd, so every tragedy can’t be used as a political tool to disarm law abiding citizens. 

Lets enforce proper storage, and allow psychiatric doctors to suspend gun rights of the mentally ill. Let’s prosecute owners who don’t store their weapons in a way their children can’t get at them. Let’s improve background checks.

Those things work. But taking the guns of law abiding citizens will change nothing.

As Andy Stumph (retired seal and republican) said, (paraphrasing) "If these idiots on the far right actually bring out their guns, you have actual operators like myself who are going to come off the bench to protect their country. And it's gonna go very badly for those weekend warriors. We're not going to watch them turn this country into all those we fought in."

Real or fake all cowboys suck.

Actual cowboys are some of the best people ive ever met. So no.

I don't understand the hate some people have for cowboy boots. If they're sized properly they're comfy as fuck, they make you look taller and they look cool (I guess the last one is debatable). 

 

edit: I never did get the point of cowboy hats though. In my experience almost no one in agriculture actually wears cowboy hats while working. Cattleman do wear cowboy hats to events but in the field they'll just wear a baseball cap. Grain farmers don't wear cowboy hats under any circumstance. That's from Canada though I'm not sure how it is in the USA. 

I knew a lot of real cowboys,  ranchers and bull riders, and a chuckwagon racer. None of them would wear cowboy boots or hats unless they were riding/working/competing.  I grew up on a ranch, I own cowboy boots (not hats though), and use them to ride and work plenty.  They are very functional. They also make you look like you are straight out of 70's porn. Throw in a mustache, and you got Debbie does Montana.

Hold my hamberder and watch this!

Obviously Scar. 

Every time I see a guy like Beto wearing cowboy boots and hats, I have another reason not to vote for him. I’ve met too many of his brand of fake cowboy.

I agree, but I also believe that those views should not be above criticism.  

No view should be above criticism. 

Thats a problem with both sides. If you criticise the crazy views of the right, you are the devil. And if you question the views of the left they automatically start calling you Alt-right. The idea that this is a war and you have to agree with everything your side says is completely against American values. 

The only things I really agree with the right on are free speech, the 2nd ammendment (and even then, we need to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill), and the American model of conservation and land ownership.

Nah, Judge Jeanine is too extreme. Whatsherfaceblondie gave lip service to being a moderate on occasion and opposed Trump. Fox is about the most liberal place Pirro can be.

A judge... This is America

Trump is terrified of losing the few news hosts who say nice things about him

Because if you're fucking pigs as a funny joke or because it's ironic or whatever, you're still a pig fucker. 

I believe he has benefitted Russia unwittingly. The idiot thinks he's an actual genius. to be an asset, I feel he'd have to be doing it willingly. I dont believe he's working with Russia, just hat he's an idiot who makes shit up as he goes.

I wouldn't count anything that happens in the books or comics that could be turned into EU style legends from star wars at a moments notice.

 

Data wasn't built by the federation or starfleet he was made by a slightly crazy genius operating on his own and based on how starfleet treated Data in measure of a man and Lal in the offspring it is clear that advanced AI are not high on their list of protected species. 

I know books aren’t canon. My point was Section 31’s Control AI has been around for 20 years.

Well, the overt looting of the country would stop; along with the overt demagoguery, incitement to violence,and aggressively stacking the federal agencies with people designed to dismantle them... Assuming pence isn't also a Russian agent. 

You are foolish if you think Trump is a Russian asset.

A willing dupe, sure. Not an asset though.

This episode answers a lot of questions not just about what is going on in this season but where the hell is advanced AI and automation in later Trek but raises some troubling issues. So Control is the start of powerful AI gone bad and probably the worst example that the federation will run into with M-5 from TOS being a relatively minor in comparison. So 2 major problems with AI one of which is potentially galactic annihilation level bad over the course of 10 years or so, that could definitely turn starfleet off of AI for a long long time, that would explain why we don't see it in the TNG era even though the computers seemingly are capable of creating it with Moriarty.

 

Now for Airiam, how much of her was still human? She has to download her memories periodically to make room implying that her brain is not organic, so is her whole head machinery? I guess she has lungs still since she can't survive in a vacuum but it really seems like there is not much human in there at all and this goes miles beyond anything we ever see again in Trek again, even the Borg aren't anywhere near this level of replacement parts. Is the technology banned like I'm going to assume advanced AI will be? If so does that mean the federation is actively allowing people to die from major injuries that could be saved?

Advanced AI was never banned. Control was first conceived in DS9, and there’s been many books written about it. In the books, Julian and Ezri destroy it with the help of Data (who was brought back in comics and print years later, going on to captain enterprise). It was in charge of Sloan and his men in DS9. So it’s not a new concept. 

Data is is also an advanced AI, of course.

I find the Navajo thing shocking. It never occurred to me there was Navajo porn. 

Theres nothing more comfy than well broken in Levis, so to hell with all you non jean wearing bitches! 

Sweatpants are for the gym, thats the only time I wear them. Have to wear combat pants at work (kevlar lined). Other than that, it's jeans. 

Sleep naked though, to hell with that.
