I have heard at least a hundred times or more, for the past 5 years, that everything was due to Bush's tax cuts. If only we didn't have the Bush tax cuts, if only we raised taxes on the rich, if only blaw blaw blaw.... why Social...

knoodleknight18 I agree with the entire last half of the comment. I think that generation single handed ran this country into the ground while flourishing off decades off irresponsible government spending, but that's another topic.

A video from an al-Quida group claims that acquiring automatic weapons from guns show were very easy to do. This video has been around for a long time and had been debunk by National Review deputy editor Kevin D....

knoodleknight18 The question here is when did Al Quieda become a reliable source of information? Using a terrorist organization to support your stance should be seen as discrediting to you and probably stance too. Maybe we should just spin this, terrorists want guns banned,...

With the news of the knifings in Texas are we going to ban knives? Or are we going to deal with the real issue and that is the mentally ill people. President Obama promised us after the last shooting that this was going to be a...

knoodleknight18 New York is probably a step ahead of you. They already banned large soft drinks because the people of NY aren't responsible enough to handle 40oz of soda in a single cup. Let's not forget 9/11 wasn't done with a high capacity 100 round clip cop killing bullet...

knoodleknight18 Unlike a true ponzi scheme; there's no promise, to any investor, that they are going to ever see a significant return. The whole premise of social security is that most people don't live long enough to collect it. Much like the idea behind insurance, is that...

knoodleknight18 A nuclear weapon is a device designed for the sole purpose of killing people and destroying structures. The best possible outcome is that it will never be used and no lives will be lost. 21st century with no nukes? Won't happen, every civilization throughout...

knoodleknight18 First off social security isn't a ponzi scheme. It's actually modeled very similar to insurance. Of course due to the white collar version of money laundering, it now operates like ponzi scheme. We forget that SS used to have a huge surplus, caused by the...

knoodleknight18 Not being able to move up is a caste system. A class structure is a system in which people can move up or down. There's a difference. The problem isn't the inability to move. The problem is that the vast majority of everyone makes much much less than a million...

When you look at the sorry state of the economy in your region or country, who do you feel is at fault? President Obama? Mitch McConnell? The European Union? The banks?

knoodleknight18 Too blame it on someone right now would be like blaming the entire national debt on Obama. It might have increased massively during his presidency, but it's simply following the upward trend of the last many decades. Most of the major problems we face today...

We hear much about the NRA being opposed to gun control and not concerned about the safety of others. The NRA was founded after the Civil War to teach the youth to be more accurate shots. They taught gun safety, help preserve out...

knoodleknight18 I think it's a little bit of both. Sadly, it's one of the few groups that even bothers to still defend any part of the Bill of Rights, even if it's possibly the most controversial amendment. It's sad that it takes a well funded political interest group to...

I find it funny that just a few months ago we had nearly the same heated argument that Marijuana should be legalized that we're now having about tougher legislation on guns. I might be wrong but I get the feeling based of party...

knoodleknight18 I think the problem encountered with the 2nd amendment is that no one, especially the anti-gun lobbyists, even consider it. Let's take for example Cuomo's argument before banning basically all modern firearms in NY. His argument was that you didn't need more...

knoodleknight18 I agree marijuana itself is a relatively harmless drug. We see too many laws made from misinformation and strong emotion responses. There's over 300,000,000 people in this country. When you have that many people, it's not hard to find a certain example to...
