Oh, it doesn't matter if the animal knows or doesn't know about competition shooters. If the animal tries to do a home invasion, that animal is room temperature. So whether or not the animal is smart enough to know where the competition shooter is, that animal's criminal career ends the first time he thinks he is surprising a competition shooter in his own home at night. (Oh, and competition shooters might as well be Harvard lawyers when it comes to local gun laws and how to defend themselves in court.) In the small Florida county I had referred to, it's kind of like Mayberry. Everybody knows everybody. And a LOT of good ole boys are competition shooters. Rumor mills are pretty active in small towns. I've been to some of these gatherings at gun ranges, where you pretty much need to just leave the headphones on all day, the sounds are so loud. These small towns have these quaint politically incorrect buildings called CHURCHES (and I don't mean the fried chicken franchise) where family men with jobs show up once a week to give thanks for their good fortune) and a lot of rumors are bandied about. For some reason, scumbags don't seem to wind up in family friendly situations. There are a few subtle hints, though, (for the scumbag who would like to see his 25th birthday.) Things like NRA stickers on the owner's car; beware of dog signs (to accompany the barking of German shepherds and pit bulls inside; maybe an engine block that is suspended from a large tree with ropes; subtle little hints like that. (I have given you complete details. If you think it is a rant, then you've never attended a public school past the third grade.

The concept of ALL combined human activity making the world either a better place or a worse place is one of the most ridiculous ideas of the ages. The entire human race is not even a spec on this giant blue rock in space. Most of the surface of the planet is WATER, where humans cannot survive without specialized machinery. Most of the surface of the planet is wilderness. Humans don't even take up a FRACTION of that land. In the two most populous countries of the world, (and I know this from businessmen who have been to both places) most of the people there are illiterate and starving to death. While the mean dastardly United States struggles with labor issues, minimum wages, OSHA regulations to make workplaces safe, both India and China continue to flood the world with ultra cheap products made by SLAVE labor, in a manner America's earliest plantation models would be green with envy. And now the most populous SLAVE owners of the world (China) have bought and paid for our unelected president. The creation of the United States Of America certainly improved the conditions of the HUMAN population of the world.

Artists create because human beings are superior creatures. Our mental processes are complex, often requiring complex means of communication, far beyond what is available to us today. A lot of money was to be made in the golden years of pop music. The Beatles had decided to record Sgt. Pepper because they had agreed not to tour any more. The crowds were too large and the girls were screaming so loud that the band couldn't hear its music. (Imagine if the Beatles had Van Halen's amplification gear back then.) So the Beatles had decided to make money solely on album sales. Steely Dan was another group who went that route, preferring not to tour, (where it lost money.) In the mid Seventies up to the early 90s, groups with radio hits only made money in personal appearances. By then, album sales were going through technology changes. Today, a new artist signing with an established record company starts out a good quarter million in debt to the record company, and has to tour its ass off to make the money to pay them back. If you're wondering why so many new acts market their music on Youtube and Spotify, that's the reason.

There was no full employment, LIAR.

It's physically impossible for them to do that. There are too many gas stations for such a situation to exist. And there's no way for an individual gas station to be able to dictate its wholesale cost of gasoline. If you want to know why gasoline prices are so high, here's your answer: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/voters-know-high-gas-prices-are-bidens-fault https://nypost.com/2022/06/13/gas-prices-too-high-its-all-part-of-bidens-plan-to-eliminate-fossil-fuels/ https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-high-gas-prices-blame-himself https://www.grantcountybeat.com/editorials/editorial/72445-gas-prices-are-the-biden-administration-s-fault https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/record-high-gas-prices-result-bidens-policies-mullin https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/opinion/close-to-home-high-gas-prices-are-bidens-fault/

Fox is too preoccupied with getting ratings to give a rat's ass about changing politics. About the only ratings giant I know of who shot up the ranks while being deliberately partisan was Rush Limbaugh. He was never shy about his ideology and he is considered the highest rated radio talk show host of all time. Fox is what news sources SHOULD be. It reports mostly the facts and lets you decide. And whenever it gives any views, they are always fair and balanced with equal time given to both sides.

Not to educated people. Some day you might actually run into one.

I'm wondering if art is in bed with religion. There are countless historical masterpieces located in The Vatican. That's a hard one to call. Religion is adherence to a set of rules and values based on the alleged existence of a Deity. I'm thinking Art is candy for the eyes and the soul, at least visual art.

Gee, that's a little complicated. The term ART covers so many endeavors. Cartoonists are artists who create art on demand for actual money. There are such people as commercial artists, who are paid a ton of money to create all sorts of graphic scenery, either in actual landscape images or somewhat abstract forms. And there is Robert Mappelthorpe, who takes American tax dollars to pay for his pornographic art (such as a photo of a man urinating in the mouth of another man.) You're right on the free music/internet thing. YouTube pretty much has relegated the record store to total extinction. Youtube also can give us some full length movies that previously we might have had to rent from the video store or wait for them to come on TMC. By the way, as far as new music goes there's nothing really wrong with it, except for the fact that the market is FLOODED with it. How could that happen, you might ask? Throughout the golden years of pop music (50s through most of the 80s) the record companies controlled everything that went on the air, for the simple reason that recording time cost a fortune. To give you an example, Sgt. Pepper cost The Beatles 30,000 Pounds, and that was a lot of money back in the early Sixties. And they only had four tracks to work with. I recorded four songs with a Neil Diamond tribute act (in 87) at a studio that cost $4 million. Then in 95 I recorded four Calypso/Soca tunes in a downtown Orlando studio that was much more state of the art and only ran $90,000. Today, you can download an UNLIMITED TRACK digital recording studio, including all the plug-ins (reverb, compression, pitch correction) FOR FREE. It may not be the quality of Pro-Tools but it's FREE. If you have even a laptop with Windows 10 64bit, you can download FOR FREE Cakewalk Bandlab, which IS the state of the art. Today's music market is flooded because recording time is practically free.

Ignorant uneducated TROLL can't stand this thing called FREE SPEECH. And Earth to Individual who resembles the unwashed anus of a mule, if I want to create a HUNDRED threads on the same subject, there's not a fcking thing you or your fellow NAZIS can do to stop me. Sieg Heil, bee itch.

Here's a novel solution for the burglar: GET A REAL JOB. Assume ALL homes are populated with competition shooters who will kill you if you try to break in. Abandoning a life of crime (whether to commit rape or just to steal jewelry to sell in order to pay college tuition) is always the wise choice.

LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP gave the world peace, in the MIDDLE EAST, for the first time in history for that godforsaken place. Russia knew better than to screw around while we had a strong and LEGALLY ELECTED leader in the White House. Now, thanks to 2000 MULES and a senile pedophile racist unelected president who doesn't even know what he's signing half the time, the world's DoomsDay Clock has been reactivated, and the world is on the path similar to the one Jimmy Carter and the Democrats put us on in the early 80s.

That remains in the purview of the individual states. Personally, I believe a female should be of legal age of consent to get pregnant. I have no problem with a female's ability to CHOOSE whether or not to get pregnant, but the age before consent throws a monkey wrench into that concept. Rape is definitely a consent issue. For that reason EVERY rape should be immediately reported. ALL rape victims should be given a rape kit at the hospital so the police can get on the trail of the animals who did that. And the victim should at that time be allowed the CHOICE of the morning after pill to reverse the non consensual conception. Incest is another consent issue. Incest is a form of rape and should be treated that way. The male involved in the incest should be arrested and charged with rape. We aren't royalty from the Mayan people. Here's the thing: When the mother waits until the NINTH MONTH to announce it is a rape or an incest, then she becomes an irresponsible lying slut. At that point, have the kid and give it up for adoption immediately. Walk away. Grow a brain and try to be more careful next time.

Points are numbered, mostly for discussion by what few educated (read, CONSERVATIVES) there are here. 1. A burglary with people inside the home is different from a burglary where the family is away on vacation. (Gee, Batman. I could tell that by just looking at the lights on at night and the cars in the driveway.) That kind of burglary suggests the animal is only after property. 2. A home invasion should ALWAYS be considered a threat to life, even if some punk's dumb ass mother thinks the brat needed robbery to be able to afford shoes and school supplies. Most home invasions involve either a murder or a rape. Certainly the animals will not allow the innocent victims to live to identify them in court. 3. A home owner facing a home invasion is ALWAYS afraid and will be shooting totally out of fear. He/she will be lucky to hit ANYTHING with that gun. The LAST thing he/she will be thinking is whether or not the animal trying to break in is in fact just a high school boy who wants to go to college but can't afford school supplies. That animal coming through the window is a dangerous human being who probably will commit murder. 4. For some reason, (at least here in Florida) you don't see that many home invasions in homes of competition shooters. I've known a few of these fellows, (back when guns were my hobby as well.) They have expensive handguns and rifles. They have ammunition reloading equipment in their homes. Some of them even have shooting galleries in the home. They are well known in their small towns, and for some reason the animals steer clear of their homes. In one of these counties, a Sheriff even had the balls to get up and warn the animals that gun owners who blow their sorry asses away would not face prosecution for legally defending their homes. Some might even have signs at their front doors at night. 5. A home (in ANY PART of the state or city) SHOULD be considered a true safe space, safe from weather and from predators. Since there are more predators, (thanks to Democrats passing no cash bail laws and letting in illegal alien animals from every shee ite hole in the world) a home is not always a safe space. 6. A home should NEVER be a safe space for a scumbag. Anyone who tries to break into a home at night, knowing there are people inside, has forfeited his right to life and deserves whatever he gets, simple as that. 7. If you don't want to DIE, don't break into homes. There is no excuse. And if you do, YOU DESERVE TO DIE. Horribly.

In terms of an impending birth threatening the life of a mother, Ronald Reagan had it right. The mother, whose life is threatened by a birth, has the right to defend herself. That is reasonable. It's not a preferable situation. Having to order the death of a human being never is (except for the FemiNazis, who look at abortion as a holy religious sacrament), but clearly humans have the right to defend themselves. Of course, a pregnancy that might make a prom dress look too tight is NOT a threat to human life.

Okay, boys and girls. Different scenario: The SAME animal breaks into a Miami home. But instead of a harmless and helpless old lady, this house is occupied by two or three heavily armed illegal alien MS13 MEMBERS. They proceed to not only stab this animal to death, they seek out his family and murder each and every one of them as a lesson to all, finding his youngest sister and gang raping her repeatedly before cutting her up and throwing her remains in the Biscayne Bay. The liberals here would say that MS13 was justified in doing that because of Trump's unfair immigration laws, which forced those poor boys to have to hide in the shadows.

Herbie is an uneducated ignoramus who probably cannot count past 20 A Sociopath is defined as someone who has absolutely ZERO empathy for anyone else in the world and zero conscience. That can't be me, because sometimes I get a tinge of guilt for routinely humiliating these ignorant, brain free Woke goose steppers here. Instead of listening to the CHILDREN try to argue against my by character assassination behind my back, here's an original idea. Look at our individual arguments and judge them by the actual content of their information, rather than what insults the cretins level at me, and how I put them in their place with better insults. Mainstream conservatives clearly are the intellectual superiors at this forum, although Florida kindergarteners could easily show up the liberals in the intelligence field as well. Just judge our arguments and decide which one you agree with. If you have any brains at all, you might actually enjoy the level of debate with the conservatives here, the ONLY educated folk at this forum.

You put the animal down. If that animal has a family, you sue the family for attempted wrongful death. You make all kinds of noise about how YOU were the victim, not the animal. Bottom line, putting an animal down saves lives of his future victims.

An animal breaking into a home at night IS AN IMMINENT THREAT. If you don't think so, if you're so fcking compassionate, put a sign on your door saying your house is a gun free zone. Invite the animals into your home and see how long you live.

What if the guy stealing the set put it down and pulled out a gun and shot and killed you? Just SHUT THE PLUCK UP. You're defending a home invader.

An innocent woman is alive. The animal who was going to rob her (and maybe rape and kill her) is no longer a threat to society. Nothing indefensible about that.

Here's the deal, CLINT EASTWOOD. People kill with one shot in the movies. In the real world, private citizens miss all the time. In home self defense, you aim for center mass and you continue to fire until the threat is put down. There are instances where an animal on crystal meth or PCP will continue to come at you even with two or three slugs in his chest. I know some Pasco County deputy sheriff's who emptied clips into the chest of such animals and had to pistol whip them when the ammo ran out.

Here is what happened: Some animal tried to break into someone's house. That someone was in fear for her life. She defended her life and her property. And there's one less animal preying on humanity.

Nobody was executed. An animal put a private home owner in fear of her life. She CONSTITUTIONALLY defended her life with deadly force.

Irrelevant. The Miami woman was in fear for her life. She had every right to take that animal OUT. Shove your bulls chit statistics up your ass.
