  1. The first recorded statement of the concept was Abraham Kaplan's, in 1964: "I call it the law of the instrument, and it may be formulated as follows: Give a small boy a hammer, and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding."[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_instrument
  2. "When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail."
  3. And this is not this departments first incident of overuse of force. Police defend killing of Baptist pastor Nearly three years after the shooting death of 28-year-old pastor Jonathan Ayers in a botched drug sting, a lawsuit seeking damages by his widow continues to meander through the legal system. Three Georgia law enforcement officials have appealed a judge’s ruling that they must stand trial to defend themselves against misconduct alleged in a lawsuit stemming from the fatal shooting of a Southern Baptist minister in a botched drug-sting investigation in 2009. http://www.abpn
  4. At Last report the child is fighting for it's life. Georgia toddler critically injured by police’s flash grenade The child was burned when narcotics agents, assisted by members of the Habersham Special Response Team, used a distraction device as they entered a home at 182 Lakeview Heights Circle outside Cornelia . . . Terrell said both the district attorney and Georgia Bureau of Investigation have said there was no wrongdoing on the SRT’s part.... Here’s the problem: If your drug cops conduct a raid that ends up putting a child in the hospital with critical burns, and they did nothing t
  5. You mean like tax cuts for the rich and powerful ?
  6. "Those that choose to ignore history are doomed to repeat it" That's a lesson you thick headed conservatives will never learn. * Define Freedom Fighters.
  7. Ronald Reagan gave sanctuary in the US to the Contra, trained them and armed them. A lot of people in Nicaragua would call the Contra terrorist. Does that make the US and Reagan terrorist ?
  8. Well first you have to define terrorist. Al Qaeda are terrorist some would say the Taliban is just the other side in a civil war. Ronnie Reagan thought the Mujahideen were freedom fighters and armed them with stinger missiles to fight the Soviet Union. The Taliban are just the direct descendants of the Mujahideen. So following in the footsteps of Regan yes I guess I would have made the exchange.
  9. In America you are innocent until proven guilty.
  10. Would I be dealing with an idiot congress like we have now ?
  11. I would do what my commanding officer ordered me to do. That's how it works in the Military at least the one I was in.
  12. I haven't heard anyone calling him a hero.
  13. Actually I was in a field artillery unit and pulled two tours in Vietnam.
  14. As a Army retiree you might be familiar with the motto.... "No Man Left Behind"
  15. I don't know how you could come to that conclusion.
  16. America's Top Military Official Gave The Best Possible Response To Critics Of The Bowe Bergdahl Swap Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, the highest-ranking American military officer. "In response to those of you interested in my personal judgments about the recovery of SGT Bowe Bergdahl, the questions about this particular soldier’s conduct are separate from our effort to recover ANY U.S. service member in enemy captivity." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/americas-top-military-official-gave-143649501.html

  18. It must be snowing in Hell and it's just possible pigs may have begun to fly ! Open Carry Group Lashes Out At NRA's 'Disgusting And Disrespectful Comments' The NRA released a statement in late May chastising OCT for harassing a Marine veteran on Memorial Day and staging protests that have prompted businesses like Jack in the Box and Chipotle to implement no-guns policies. The NRA called the actions of the group "scary" and "weird." "Using guns merely to draw attention to yourself in public not only defies common sense, it shows a lack of consideration and manners," the NRA statement
  19. I think the only way to win an appeal is to find (and pay for) another appraisal that differs from what the county says your property is worth.
  20. Yes you are negotiating as you would if the agent brought you a buyer that offered a low bid. If the point is would that void your contract with the agent I don't think it would.
  21. Your dead soldiers don't trump my rights.
  22. Your attempt at drama was only lacking a little background music. Here ya go...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKp29Luryc
  23. It was not the Embassy hostages but seven Americans being held in Lebanon by a group with Iranian ties. It was all part of the Iran Contra scandal. A Reagan legacy I know most conservatives would rather not recall. Iran–Contra affair The scandal began as an operation to free the seven American hostages being held in Lebanon by a group with Iranian ties connected to the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. It was planned that Israel would ship weapons to Iran, and then the United States would resupply Israel and receive the Israeli payment. The Iranian recipients promised to do
  24. Maybe we should have traded them surface to air missiles like Ronnie Reagan did to get back our hostages from Iran ?
