    It's been years since I found myself agreeing with a gun "enthusiast" (cue the Carlin monologue).

    That said, if this failed in Wyoming, and near as I can tell hasn't even made it part way through the legislature in farking Utah, then I think it's DOA.

        Doesn't this guy know that if they took all the porn off the internet, there would be one website left, and it would be called Bring Back The Porn?

              So if you have both cable TV and the internet, you're paying it twice? Something seems wrong with your assertion on that one.

                One fee once/year. But you must pay it to watch. Your VPN access to watch the BBC is useless.

                    So I just wouldn't watch the BBC. Netflix is cheaper.

                      Or Amazon. But certain live BBC events (Last Night of the Proms, for example) are not broadcast in the USA.

                            Arkansas just executed their fourth inmate this week. If I recall correctly, it's because their lethal injection drugs need to be used by a certain date?
