Leave it to jerry to defend the cartel!  LOL, gotta tell ya jerry,, if i run up against a drug smuggler you can bet your bottom dollar i'm going to be locked and loaded and the second they point anything my way i'm going to dispatch them.

I don't care if they haven't had their day in court!  I'm  not going to wait and see if they try to kill me either. 

fine shoot if threatened but that was not you original statement.  And i'm not defending them, merely saying they have some rights no matter how repugnant the individual.  Legalizing the trade will solve the problem.

Whats the problem here, hunters are armed, they run into drug smugglers, 2nd amendment is in effect problem solved.

How's that problem solved?  People can mete out whatever justice they feel when they meet something they deem criminal?  No right to jury trial?  Problem would be solved by legalizing it and taxing it.

Saskatoon is a city in Saskatchewan.

Well, you know that campaign contributions to Senators could be eliminated by abolishing the 17th Amendment.
With abolishment of the 17th, we would no longer be electing the Senators by popular vote.  That way, the States,
instead of certain people and groups, could be re-established as having the "special interests" just like the founding fathers intended.

The state governments and legislatures have proven to be even more corrupt than our current Senators, I doubt that would remove the money from the system and would help to disenfranchise the masses even more.  Typical neocon hot button issue.

You know what I never understood about the Nazi camps?
You had ... how many Jews ..against how many Germans in the camps..
I wonder why they ( at the beginning before they were starved to bones) why they didn't group and gather together as a team and storm the guards.. take the guns and get down to business..

Am I naive on that? I admit I do not know alot about it.. But I always seem to think along the how many are they.. and how many are we..

Having studied the deathcamps for years, World War 2 is my area of interest, it wasn't something that was very feasible.  The minute that they stepped out of line, they were simply shot.  Not a lot of opportunity for revolt.  Believe, though, it did occur on some occasions.  Realistically the Warsaw uprising was the closest they ever came to success.  They managed to hold off the Germans in Warsaw for a while, but were slaughtered in the end. 

And just to clarify, I have not voted as I have not registered to receive an Absentee ballot as a US citizen living abroad, which I am permitted to do.

No more or less than the ridiculous posts that led up to it, I suppose.

Now that I've answered your question, how about you answer my original question and 2 new ones, eh.

1.  Why would you ask about the ridiculous post unless you desire to suppress free speech?
2.  Why would you, an exemplary US citizen, want to stifle free speech?
3.  Since you've taken residence in a foreign country, do you vote in US elections.

Now, while you attempt to form some cogent answers, I'm gonna go tip a cow somewhere in the northeast.

If you want to waste your right to free speech insulting people, go right ahead so long as you don't commit libel in the process.  I find it demeaning and a complete waste of time.  It displays a lack of intellect when one has to revert to insulting things about which they have little information instead of providing some kind of intelligent comment.   I have no desire to stifle free speech, although I do believe that there is a correct manner to conduct one's self when speaking/writing to others.  I do not vote in US elections currently, but how again is that relevant unless you want to stifle free speech.  My residence is not relevant.  BTW prove that every other person who posts in the 'Politics' section votes, please do.

Nope, they fondle!  IF you can get them away from the horse and the Labatt Blue.

Is this ridiculous post necessary?

COPO.  Citizen On Paper Only.  Otherwise known as an Expatriate.  As a resident of Canada, you don't vote in US elections do you?

I would hope Theresa doesn't do so either!  Having people around who are irrelevant to the Elk County area community helps many of us keep focused on why we love living here, reinforces our resolve to stand by the vision of the founders of the USA,  and reminds us of how much more grounded we are in our Judeo-Christian values than many who have given themselves over to Marxist utopian worldviews and 'The World'.

"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." – James 4:4

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" – 2nd Corinthians 6:14-15

Expatriates pay taxes.... if I were to win the lottery tomorrow, I would have to pay a huge chunk to the US Treasury even though in Canada we do not pay taxes on lotteries.  Also, I am still registered for the draft and if there were a draft, I am liable to serve.

You betcha!  Unlike many of the silver spooned, lawyers and coddled affirmative action babies that are there now,  Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina have run successful  businesses, employed people, made a payroll, and paid their taxes (See: C Rangle/T Geitner under 'tax cheats').

So you don't think that lawyers have to run a successful business?
