If you like contemporary jazz, enjoy. One of my favorite artists, and a great tune.

Does the philosopher need the welder, or does the welder need the philosopher?

Do you make more than welders?

Are you a philosopher?

I don't think you are aware of how much some welders are making. They are better off than many college grads currently. They go to a trade school for a few grand, finished school in a year, and then start making pretty decent scratch, depending on location.

Awesome thread, Nitro! Are you familiar with Michio Kaku? I find him pretty interesting, but for some reason, after watching one of his articles regarding time, and how the mind perceives it, I still can't find a way to stay in my winning trades just a little longer.:)...

That was the one I saw on HBO. It is an excellent documentary. Mike Bell, one of the three Bell brothers who discuss their use of steroids and sports determination in the film, died at age 37. He was known as "Mad Dog" Mike Bell. The coroner determined his death to be an accident. He was...

The terror situation would require deadly force, period. I'm not disputing that. Don't equate what I'm inferring regarding street situations to terror. I'm not sure why you are trying to tie them together in response to my remarks. I'm well aware of the difference (and similarities ). I'm...

I understand your reasoning, but I'm referring to street crime situations. I would hate to have shot a kid brandishing a knife or unarmed and merely threatening that he has a weapon when non lethal force would have been just as effective (ever watch a video of how effective spray can be?)...

Don't be giving democrats any new ideas...oh, wait...

Don't confuse folly with common sense or personal choice. No one can ever know how much force one's going to need. I agree with your first sentence when applied to my home, and am opposed to restrictions on capacity for that very reason. Regarding concealed carry, we can avoid situations...

One has heart failure, the other had some type of brain problem, but told me he had been taking other drugs most of his younger life. I have no idea what type, how much, or the quality of the substance(s) that were being consumed because I know little about it other than what I read and hear...

I don't know much about their use either, but I find it interesting that a couple of the guys I know are having unexplained health issues, and one even told me his doc doesn't know what he's talking about when telling my friend to stop using them. I haven't seen him lately, but last I heard...

What are your further thoughts regarding steroids? I've never taken them, but I know several who do. A couple have developed serious health issues that you wouldn't expect based on their training, shape, and age. One died recently...reason undisclosed. I've always been in the camp that...

Are you talking about the same people who air dropped supplies into a hot zone of radicals, rebels, Russians, and who knows who else, not knowing who would collect those supplies, which I believe included small arms and ammo (I could be wrong on that one)?

I think this comment pertains to carrying on one's person, or at least I'll answer as if it was. I agree with some of your assessment. Unfortunately, some people who own guns see themselves in that role (part time cop or something similar). Once a person feels empowered because the are...

I agree with some of this. We often arm the "less radical" elements to push for regime change of "more radical leaders", which almost always creates blowback. The people we arm often flee, leaving high quality weapons behind, change sides, or just don't like us to start with for what ever...

I'm an individual who is pro gun, but I agree with your assessment. A very well trained individual with a very high level of situational awareness would still have had to be in a location to respond effectively, and I'm curious, would a bullet strike actually detonate the vest? That said, if...
