Rather than Carney who cares more about global relations and status.
Based upon the little bit I have heard and read about this guy, he seems to be a competent and very capable Trudeau...

I don't think it's inconsistent with the 1st amendment to say you think Islam is largely incompatible with America and in that sense, should not be culturally accommodated.
Its not inconsistent.. IMO.. if you want to protect the 1st Amendmend (and oh btw the 2nd Amendment too..) you have to act pretty decisively with respect to those who would seek to block the free speech of others...
re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Having said all that, I’d say you should be highly skeptical of any casualty figures released by either side, or even purported by media outlets.
I would also apply that principle to recruiting numbers even if they come through our military community.. Its not like the MIC doesn't have some interest in the ongoing nature of this conflict.
quote:
All that to say, when the end in WWI came, it came suddenly. In summer 1918, it looked as though the war would drag on for at least two more years or longer. Tens of thousands were dying monthly on both sides. Then, in the fall of 1918, the German lines finally started to crack and rapidly began to crumble all together. The Germans had reached their breaking point. That’s how a stalemated war ends. One moment appears that it will go on for the foreseeable future, until it doesn’t. And when that point comes, the losing side degenerates rapidly.
I agree with your analogy but not necessarily your conclusions... If Russia has an abundance of bodies to throw into the meat grinder, why are NK troops a part of this conflict. So that "fact" alone gives me serious reservations about your perspective.
Unfortunately, its seems time will tell....

it was something like this..
Of course I am brainwashed... the difference between me and you is I picked who washed my brain..

Not a "smart arse" question at all.. to me its an imminently valid question...
All things being equal (from a equally proficient standpoint)... I would have to guess that conceal IWB carry would be just a little quicker.. I will tell you that generally, if someone walks up to me with a gun pointed at me (or a loved one..) asking for my wallet I am not going to try and draw my firearm since they already have me in their sites.. In just about any other circumstance I like my chances by a lot with this holster...
But as always, you have to go with what works best for you. I personally could not do IWB carry mostly because I am a small framed, relatively thin guy that would 1) VERY uncomfortable and 2) I print like a son-of-a-gun. I was ankle carry prior to discovering the Kangaroo Carry option...
And for the record, my EDC is a Sig 229. I would have to go much smaller with any other carry option..

Everyone is different but I carry every day with no jacket. You wear it under your shirt. However, I am not basically wearing a T-Shirt either. Short sleeve, long sleeve .. makes no difference. I have never had anyone "notice"...

Especially when you have cops like in Uvalde who are too scared to even try to stop an active shooter.
Out right scared or infected with the bureaucracy virus and worried more about the risk of lawsuits, public opinion and/or sticking with "protocol" than loss of life..

Is there anything I said that you can disagree with and explain why?
A good deal of that technology originated here (or the West in general..) and was stolen by China or moved to China by firms when they shifted manufacturing to China. And still does not out produce us.
Also, the average American worker values quality over other workers in just about any other culture. Its the reason while every single company that has moved manufacturing to China has American staff and American trained staff over the QC. Our company buys goods directly from manufacturers in China and I can tell you many crazy stories (in a very bad way) of their attitude towards the companies that buy from them.
The "only because.." shows a staggering level of ignorance towards the realities of doing business with companies in China.

Not having kids isn't a result of a "decline in Christian values".
I heard/read about a recent study/survey that determined people that had the most sex were married couples which had a faith based orientation in their lives... (I will see if I can find a link to post on it...)
So yeah apparently "Christain Values" does play into it...

Its both shocking and amazing how quickly some within a political philosophy that leans into trusting the system/bureaucracy and believes it is completely unnecessary to own firearms are in a modern western society will abandon those tenants ...
