    That's a very nice answer to a question, I'm sure, but not the question I asked. I'll have to base my supposition on past performance, in which case I'd say "by the end of this week."

    Oh and has the AP style book been updated lately? I see less and less "Assault Weapon" and more and more "military style"

    I guess you'll just have to deal with that on your own.

    Yeah, Lanz should just rename this place Gunforge and have done with it.

    I think you overestimate greatly the supposed utility of "^this" going forward.

    Do you use Tarot cards or just a regular deck?

    I could just as easily have asked you the same question in response to Post #65

    I was actually referring to the back-and-forth you were having with Chaos (which you usually have with Castle). It gets annoying.

    Why bother?

    You will never get a straight answer. You get nothing but implications and talking out of both sides of her mouth. Her answers are nothing more then tap dancing and your answers to her never according to her answer her questions.

    I know. That's why I am only answering her as I please now, ever if it doesn't advance the debate. The main reason is that as long as she's a member of the debate, it will never advance anyway.

    What I'm pissed off about is that once again Reid is stabbing his own party in the back. Originally every single proposal was supposed to be its own bill so disagreement on one of the proposals wouldn't hurt the other proposals chances but now Reid wants to put it all into one bill mostly because that's what the NRA wants to make it easier to kill. Fuck Reid. Just like filibuster reform (for two times in a row even!) he is deliberately lying and fucking with these proposals.

    I agree - I'm all for keeping this all as one bill so it's easier to kill everything in one fell swoop, with the added bonus that the people supporting it could find themselves not reelected. :techman:
