Completely off-topic, but you never want to handle a fish by it's tail, you will break their bloodline and spoil the meat. Always handle a fish by the head/gills. I think you are confusing a sand trout with a tuna. And you certainly can't swing a tuna holding it from the gills and expect to hurt anything. Every time I think of Rick Perry this ad comes to mind:
YouTube Video Placeholder Before he became a hipster.
A Texan hipster. It's like the universe folding in itself. Odin.Jassik said: » Tl:Dr yeah, the only use for these weapons is killing a ton of people, but we can't do anything to limit the accessibility of unstable people or encourage manufacturers not to sell them in large amounts to anyone who wants them. Sure we can. There are gun laws out there that prevents legal sale of firearms to people deemed unstable by the courts. But, you know, most cases of mass murder in America in regards to firearms is when people obtain said guns illegally. Your solution would infringe on the rights of every law-abiding citizen in America, and you don't care because it would, in your mind, prevent illegally obtained firearms from being obtained illegally (which the firearms would be shipped from other parts of the world, because, you know, criminals don't abide by the law. I hope that you don't find that to be sarcastic at all). Let us all punish everyone for the actions of a few, with laws that will do nothing to stem the issue in the first place. Kindof like Obamacare.....err...."Affordable" Care Act. Well I used to think of his failed Corridor, I think he called it the tri-city corridor, some superhighway from San Antonio to Austin to Dallas, then it got shortened to just Austin to Dallas, then it just died. Then I thought of him as having a campaign dooming opinion on homosexuality being a treatable disease like alcoholism, which is really sickening. Now I think of him as a living example of karma.

No, I'm taking about handling fish meant for consumption, but tuna are a different animal in general, and mostly too large to be swung around anyway. What exactly is Affordable about the Affordable Care Act?
Often laws and such do the opposite of their namesake. Patriot Act, Affordable Care Act, NAFTA, CAFTA, etc.

Kindof like Obamacare.....err...."Affordable" Care Act. What solution did I offer? I made a snark comment about Perry's stereotypical corporate puppet response and the fact that he said we can't do anything that limits profits but offered no other means to curtail mass killing. You just assume that because I don't support the idea that everyone should be able to hoard thousands of rounds and military grade weapons that I don't support business or the 2nd amendment.

Shame on you I find it pretty dishonest to claim that everyone from any place is a certain way. Yes, it's fruitless to reason with certain ideologies, but I don't believe that, in large, all Texans are part of some shorter branch of the evolutionary tree. No reason to bring evolution into this you dirty lib. Scientist just want funding to study evolution.

do any of you even know why he was forcing the person to resign.

It is possible for people to understand something yet not agree with your point of view in matters of opinion. he was well within his powers to do what he did. it wont go far in court, the judge will dismiss the case.
Nice fantasy. The reasons he was trying to force a person to resign are irrelevant. He is not allowed to use his power to coerce anyone to resign.
[+]
He actually wasn't within his powers to use appropriations as a means to coerce or extort, that's why he is being charged with a crime. It may not go far in court, but it won't be because his actions were legal, it will be because there isn't sufficient evidence to convict.
For someone claiming to have an understanding of the case, you fail to demonstrate it. It's a little sad that that's what they're going after him for. In a perfect world, he would have been out on his behind the moment he suggested praying for rain as a means to combat against his state being on fire, but alas, we don't live in that world.

Shiva.Viciousss said: » Well I used to think of his failed Corridor, I think he called it the tri-city corridor, some superhighway from San Antonio to Austin to Dallas, then it got shortened to just Austin to Dallas, then it just died. Or possibly SH130? SH130 is still in existence. IH35 is being converted to a 4 lane interstate highway between San Antonio to Dallas/Fort Worth. Hardly a failed accomplishment, since it still is going on. Fenrir.Candlejack said: » Really? So, you're saying James Holmes and Cho Tsung Hui didn't legally buy their guns from gun stores? Or that neither they nor any of the other mass murderers in our history would not have committed said crimes without guns? That they would not have committed said murders using a different tool? Because that is what guns are, a tool. How the person uses the tool is what matters. Fenrir.Candlejack said: » Or that the Brady bill, had it received a renewal when it came up again for vote, would've accomplished nothing? People kill people. Regardless of the item used to do so. Fenrir.Candlejack said: » You live in Texas, don't you? So tell me, are you proud of living in your area? I guess not. I'm talking about the trans Texas corridor that was his major plan when he came into office, that never went anywhere, and was cancelled in 2009. I heard that he brought back a shell of the plan a few years ago, I doubt it ever becomes reality, and certainly won't be what the original plan was.

I heard that he brought back a shell of the plan a few years ago, I doubt it ever becomes reality, and certainly won't be what the original plan was. The only two projects I was aware of was the SH130 project and the IH35 enhancement. Trans Texas corridor was the official name of the project, that's about as specific as I can get.
Shiva.Viciousss said: » Trans Texas corridor was the official name of the project, that's about as specific as I can get. How is that a failure again? Because you said so isn't a good answer. It's a failure because the project as a whole was cancelled. Since it's cancellation, they have managed to resurrect a few remnants. But the project failed, the trans Texas corridor does not exist and will never exist in it's intended form. That is indisputable fact.

News flash: explosives are easier to make, easier to get, and kill more people.

We could do that if they hadn't shut down all the state hospitals and let them all out. |
