I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, but I'll hazzard a guess that's always correct: Follow the money. In this case for the financial gain of the companies that manufactured the weapons, and that continue to manufacture weapons and sell them to whoever will pay. Our "defense" contractors. ("defense" in quotes, because I don't see what this has to do with our defense.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. While "we" are arguing over what I'd call a bunch of chicken crap things (which seem incredibly important to others), the rich guys are more than happy to fill their pockets with money. As I've said before... "They" don't want your guns, your bibles, your freedoms, your liberties, etc. They only want your money. And "we" have been giving them signed blank checks.

I don't swallow the pill of either party like most of you do. There is nothing I can say to sway you, not worth the time. Your head is so buried in Trump's ass that it isn't funny. And now with the ad-hominem attack! So predictable. Did I say anything like that? No. You lose the argument because you have nothing of value to argue with. Ad-hominem attacks are the last line of defense of a losing argument. Just can't think of anything else to say so personally attack your opponent seems like a thing to do. Again, as I said, case closed. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody looks at me like I'm a psychopath when I run youth practices for doing them in warm-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I always did extra pushups figuring it would help me. I never viewed them as a punishment. I loved climbing the ropes too. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I was pretty fast on the ropes. After we moved to MN, we had a school night for my son's grade and they showed us what was happening with PE. The ropes were down and all the young dads wanted to see if they could still do it. I was not as fast as before but held my own. Couldn't do well now I think. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
