I am a strong believer in a state wide sales tax increase of 1-2 cents...Wisconsin has one of the country's lowest sales tax at 5%. It allows all of Wisconsin to pay their share...nobody gets hurt. The rich buy more, so they pay more...the poor pay what they can afford. Have a sunset clause so afte...

I did change my mind on 9-11 about 2 years ago and still don't have an answer as to why Building 7 fell the way it did. I believe there is enough eye witness testimony out there from first responders to consider it being an inside job. Come on man, you are Not this stupid. Do you realize how many p...

I'm glad Diaz beat Cyborg, but I honestly think his chin helps him win a lot of fights. He's a cumulative effect puncher, his punching seems sloppy to me, and he appears to want to win his fights standing up. On the ground, he's dangerous, but standing up, someone should be beating the hell out of ...

If I was a player, on any team, I'd be pretty pissed about this. I would expect a certain level of confidentiality, which he just violated. I would use the NFLPA to express that while he has been holding us to a higher standard, what standard is he meeting? Shouldn't the players who's privacy was v...

Does anyone else find it odd that Goddell just happened to let this all happen the day before media day? Seems like he knew exactly what he was doing to me. I don't know how he can claim to be an arbitrator of justice when he shows such bias. He either thought this out in advance, and should have t...

I don't believe for one second that a single buck private could be capable of stealing these documents on his own. I have no doubt that there are many more people on the inside that were involved. I think we're going to see (if we haven't already) more people with access to even more sensitive docu...

Being a sure shot with any firearm is an erodible skill. Muscle Memory, trigger pull, bla bla bla. You must practice constantly for your skills to not regress. That being said, some people are just naturals with a firearm. Oswald was an ex Jarhead. That's' where the he was an expert marksman comes ...

Wrong. They should be allowed to be as fairy or faggy as they want in the shower as long as they don't harrass their co-workers. No, you're wrong. Soldiers have to follow moral turpitude and conduct unbecoming codes in all areas of the Department of Defense. Whether the open homosexuality ban is li...

I bet there are plenty in the Chinese govt that wish Kim would kick the bucket, so they can influence a more calm future in that area. From what I've read, the son most likely in line to rule is crazier and more war mongering than his Dad. If true, how much China might be able to impact or influenc...

That was a different time and a different generation Lerx. I'm not saying there aren't good kids out there, I'm not. But kids today are soft in general. Back then, kids were told they were to be seen, not heard. Since the 70's, kids have been told they have rights, Mommy can't smack their ass for b...

I have a fair amount of family members who are active military right now, and just about to a man, they don't want this to pass. They're all E-6 or higher. And most of the vets I've talked to are over 40. So, no definitely not just the slick sleeves, just quicker and easier to get out of hand durin...

Lerx, here's the thing. Our military is the best in the world because it's all voluntary. The kids know what they signed up for, and why they're there. You start piping in kids that neither want to be there, nor do they give a fuck, and you have major league trouble. Mandatory service sounds good o...

I don't have a problem with it, but surprisingly enough, I'm a vet minority. It's fairly predictable who is for this and who is against it. This topic came up at work the other day, and I heard the usual arguments which boiled down to "I don't want some queer sucking my dick!" Sadly, a lo...

But reservists and National Guard HAVE been active fulltime military for nearly a decade now. Most of our reserves ARE activated already which is a dangerous thing. We don't HAVE many reserves anymore, and in that context some kind of mandatory, or at least highly incentivized, military recruitment...
