Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

I kind of don't see the point. That little car is not allowed on the golf course. 8-) Unfortunately for whatever reason (economics? regulation? we don't seem to be getting such vehicles here in the US). Right. And so we use golf carts to fill this gap. The alternative in most cities, is not slow an...

Re: Australia: Assyrian Orthodox Bishop stabbed while saying Mass

Just remember they have strict gun control, and lots of people think America should be following this example.

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I think what some of us are asserting is that Sattler is equivalent in quality to a directional state university, or perhaps a regional campus of Directional State. Also, I’m impressed Bryant survived 4 years of Sattler without being a “member” anywhere. Of course, the denomination that runs Sattler...

Re: Iran - Israel War? Iran's state-run news agency says Iran has fired ballistic missiles at targets inside Israel

An organization affiliated with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran revealed that Iranian General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was reportedly killed by an Israeli airstrike on April 1, played a key role in the mass murder of 1,200 people, including over 30 Americans, on October 7. Yes, ...

Re: Bunny Trails

If SSDI and SSI were removed from Social Security, the old age part would be solvent. Currently payroll taxes are going about ⅓ (last I checked) into SSDI/SSI.

SNAP, HEAP and Medicaid are somewhat relevant since a person who lives solely on Social Security is often eligible for those programs.

Re: Iran - Israel War? Iran's state-run news agency says Iran has fired ballistic missiles at targets inside Israel

Of note is that Iran fired missiles into the Golan Heights at Israeli military installations. This is Syrian territory that Israel has had control of for many decades.

So technically Iran didn’t even fire on Israel…

Re: War in Gaza

The current government of Israel has a track record of using starvation as a tool for control. I personally think this is quite immoral, but that’s how war and subjugation go - many other governments have done the same thing.

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.

The real question is why Ken is such an apologist for free pornography to be openly available in the Internet with no restrictions whatsoever. Really Josh? Don't you ever get tired of inventing straw men to argue against? Well, you’ve spent this thread telling us how it’s impossible to stop having ...

Re: Knife Attack in Australia

It is accurate though. There isn't one thing called "gun control" It is a spectrum and every country has to decide where to put their line. Despite the 2nd Amendment, we don't allow people to defend their properties with land mines or drive around with RPGs, heavy machine guns, or hand gr...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

It’s actually legal where I am to drive ATVs or golf carts on country roads and in the nearest town, although technically you are supposed to get plates put on them. The township doesn’t care about that but the state highway patrol in state roads and the village police in town do care. There is a gu...
