OT A March For Their Lies

[Lanny]

To keep it simple, the side oiler oils the main bearings first instead of the cam bearings. That way more oil gets to the main bearings to help prevent spinning a bearing due to poor lubrication.

As for design, if improvements are never made, then we continue down the same paths. If it was followed under your logic we would still be driving model T's because why improve the design as the old design was working wasn't it. We could also still have prop planes because that design worked.

My father used to tell me that when he was younger, cars could not back up going uphill.

Of course, there's nothing better than distributors without points or fuel ignition rather than carburetors.

I won't even get into tubeless tires, power steering or power brakes.

>>>>Ah! Slightly different than the side oiler kit that I had to put on the 312 engine I had because it did not get sufficient lub to the rocker arms Simply due to a common flaw in the block casting. Not really a pretty design.

>>>> your observations are all true but hardly germane. The electoral college is weighted exactly the same as is Congress, state by state on everything they vote on.
Two votes for each State in the Senate and the house has representatives according to population of each state. I think it was a wise choice, insightful even.
However, if you think it is similar to a model T, then there is a route to change. But I only hear the whine, I never see any action to affect a change.

lol, if that's what you got from my analogy then little hope for you. Keep thinking like it is 1920.

Oh! I am pretty happy even without your hope. But I do detect a whine in the response.

re-calibrate or replace your detection meter. It's obviously broken.

It is not me that would list a side oiler as a positive.

Look at the society and government they were dealing with. Now look at ours. See any difference?

Why would you think such an abhorrent thought?

My reply had no "abhorrent" thought implied. If you read your initial statement closely, there is indication you believe the society each of those Marxist/Fascist leaders governed were to blame for actions taken. The point of my posting that image was to illustrate what happens when central governments succeed in depriving the populace of the right to individual preservation and liberty by denying the means to defend themselves.

I’m doing my best to stay out of an unwinnable debate, but of all the words I’ve seen written on the gun argument coupled with the students protesting, I personally thought this was one of the more accurate.....or at least reasonably accurate opinions I’ve run across recently.......

You clearly have no idea what you are even talking about. Educate yourself and make Google your teacher.

Trump, the man's man. He would have proved it by fighting in his generation's war except he was too busy making up excuses to evade the draft with phony medical problems so he could go play golf.

Or possibly he is just morally superior to those who had no problem slaughtering strangers in a strange land for Standard Oil?

There was a draft, and there were few options for avoiding it. I grew up facing the fact I was going to be forced to kill or be killed simply for a corporation's profit line. My options to avoid it were go to prison or flee the country and never be allowed to return. Trump, Clinton and other rich people had better options and took them. Smart.

I lucked out, was never drafted, Standard Oil lost their war big time, the domino theory turned out to be nonsense and the rest is history.

 

[MARIS61]

I'm curious, what makes you think that he knows your post wasn't BS? If he says it was BS then I have to take him at his word that he truly thought it was BS. That doesn't make it BS but it does mean he's being honest about his thought on the subject.

It wasn't my post he attacked, and he offered nothing to back up his dubious claim.

Morally superior? Donald Trump? Now that's one of the funniest things I have heard. I'm not sure if he is even morally superior to Charles Manson. The guy has been a criminal most of his life and has used his money and bullying tactics to screw people over. The guy is an ass with no class.

Just to be clear... You are telling us a Socialist British publication, which cares not about the history and intent of our Bill of Rights, aligns with your feelings on this matter.

The right to defend yourself would be protected. You just can't spray the place with endless firepower.

I understand. Unfortunately, I did take the time to read the article in question. The accusations against those in support of 2nd Amendment principles were straight out of Saul Alinsky's book Rules for Radicals. Alinsky was a devout student of Karl Marx and a self proclaimed "Community Organizer"... (gee, where have we heard that before)... that made it his life goal to place our U.S. Constitution into the trash bin of historical writings.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

I’m not aware of the Alinsky tie in. I simply believe that as times and situations change, laws and rules should be evaluated accordingly and, if applicable, adjusted to meet the realty those changes have created. Nothing more, nothing less. The NRA doesn’t want to have a dialogue of any kind, and as far as I personally am concerned, that is unacceptable and dishonest. I just felt the article pretty much summed up my own feelings. Having said all that, do I expect anything to really change on “gun control” any time soon? Hell no. Same shit, different day (and school).

 

[Mote]

That statement is absolutely absurd for two primary reasons.
1. I have every right as a citizen in good standing to defend my family, myself and any other person who may be in mortal danger with any tool equal to that available to the adversary.
2. No where have I indicated that spraying (which is lifted from "spray and pray" in the foliage) unaccounted rounds was a good tactical or prudent operation of equipment.

By the way... there is no such thing as endless firepower.

I sincerely appreciate your reasoned and polite responses. Though I have certifications from the NRA, I have not been an active member for some time yet may decide to rejoin the group shortly. This is not about the NRA. This is about our Bill of Rights and what every individual who is a citizen (in good standing) retains to their person from that document. I'm starting to think a new thread is in order for that subject.

When the enemy is our military gone bad, as The Second Amendment was written solely to defend against, you can't have the first without the second.

Hence "shall not be infringed".

A vet should know that.

That may be true, however, I seriously doubt some old receipts from a now defunct massage parlor and the fake ID would convince anyone he is 23 years old no matter how much Hip he has in his Hop!

 

[MARIS61]

If all the people had your mindset we would all be living in the early 1900's like you are doing.

That would erase most of the world's current problems, so maybe not a bad idea.

 

[MARIS61]

I'd suggest some other type of analogy.

I'm sure you would, but it wouldn't be as accurate as mine.

 

[barfo]

As long as you don't mind the problems of the early 1900's.

Of course that video of Emma will be pulled. Cuba has had many flags in it's history. That particular flag was born during the fight for independence in early 1900's, but became the standard of Castro's communist takeover. Emma is without question a Marxist for all to see displayed in word and deed.
