I don't agree with what some post on this board, much as they don't agree with what I post.  However, what I find attractive about the board, is that for the most part, I am challenged to support my views.  That is not a "bad thing"!  

And what I also find amusing is  that most of us fall to the same weaknesses that trouble us about the posts of others.  Weaknesses?  Biased views, failure to examine all available data on a specific point, illogical reasoning, preassumed outcomes.... and so on.  But through it all, what I see is a microcosm of the National Debate on all things political and religious.

Look closely friends and you will see the reason that we, as a nation, come to no solutions in any arena. NONE.

What can we do? that too is a question I would pose.... but friends before  you fire off word after word - following your proven tracks, I would challenge you all, be original.... and lets see where that thread goes.

...oops... I was letting my "Christ-complex" show again, LMAO!

Yes, I have to agree with you that differing opinions is a wonderful catlyst for refining our world-views... Biblically speaking, it's "iron sharpning iron"...

 Despite our microcosm of prejudiced, postulating, political pundits I do enjoy the moxi of our peanut gallery of opinionated malcontents in contrast to the banal PC proselytizing by the mainstream media’s political mercenaries.

the 10mm never became a very popular cartridge, but in Mn it's legal for deer even though it's technically too short... I get tired of carrying a rifle w/scope in the thick woods, so it was the perfect choice... (However, I rarely bag a deer with it, lol!)

and an HK-USP & Glock 27 in .40S&W

It's a shame that the 10mm-auto never really caught on. Its trajectory is extremely flat & accurate with balistics similar to a .357 and a knockdown akin to a .45  .

Just like engines; there's no replacement for displacement.
