Check out the stats for yourself. It's extremely rare to use a gun succesfully in self defense.

I don't own a gun. I have many friends who do. Exactly zero have ever needed to use them for self defense.

I like hot pastrami on pumpernickel with coarse mustard, no sauces or cabbage of any sort.

Lobster rolls. That's what Boston has on New York.

They really do say "get" and not "take" a shower. I'm not sure why. I guess they give it to themselves.

But for Manhattan chowder, NYC is just Peoria on steroids. I'm doubling down and making it the defining characteristic.
March 15, 2018 at 06:17
NYC is more vibrant, more intetesting, more things to do, better attitude. It's the center of the universe. They also have better chowder.

Stop h8ing on old white guys.

Sure, and my team would have won so many more games if the ball wouldn't have hit the goal post and bounced out.

Actually, I predicted that it would be really close and not yet formally decided until today and that it would result in a recount that would favor th...

It wasn't 50/50. It was supposed to go clearly to Clinton. What it proves is that the polls were wrong and I was right, and if you want to know what's...

It's not their analysis that is wrong. It appears the data they gather is unreliable. They're wrong too often. They need to run some statistical analy...

I didn't as much set it free as much as it set itself free.

I think I posted that video before. It's Little Wing, which reminds me oh too well of someone I once knew.

The person you described would be sexually ambiguous. What of a person who was XY and had a normal penis? Man? Woman? Both? Neither?
