Don't make me pull the mask down...

I know that you're being cheeky but....if this doesn't put on display for everyone the pervasive hypocrisy in the media and activists, I don't know what will. A gay, black man ambushes and kills a straight, white woman for reasons of passion.....and it's a non-starter and the gun is blamed...

:whistling:

The only law that would have prevented this from happening would be a federal mandate that armed personal security details be deployed with every on-site TV news crew. Short of that, legislation is irrelevant in this kind of situation...and since the only legislation that would stop this kind of...

GLWS.

I'm not sure what the latter part of the second sentence means but I've been less than six inches from several, several priceless pieces of art....as have billions of other people in the Louvre and nothing seems to have happened.

If it's a weapon that has seen anything close to regular and sustained use....30 years tops. If it has been kept in a safe under ideal conditions? Maybe a decade or two more. I've seen Gen1 Glocks that I wouldn't fire due to how brittle the plastic looked and felt.

This thread is essentially proving my point. All of these terms.....admittedly, my ignorance is my own to overcome but man, it just seems like the learning curve is so steep that I almost don't have the effort to take the hike. So.....in a nutshell. The Stock Market is an exchange whereby...

Ok, but isn't short selling a self consuming conflagration? Doesn't it show that the market is fixed to a certain degree?

I think I understand this, but again, all those terms....I confess to being completely ignorant as to what they mean. Sidebar; I wonder if people feel like this when I wax theological. Note to self, maybe..,

What does that mean? I hear it all the time, "making money in a down market." How? You sell it and then buy it back after it falls? If that's the case, though, aren't you precipitating the fall yourself? And doesn't that make the whole thing artificial?

Really? That's a majorly frightening shell game.

And for that matter....what "is" it, exactly? I confess to being functionally learning-disabled when it comes to the topic and I have at times tried to understand it a little better but everytime I start digging, I find myself lost in a sea of terms that I don't understand, verbs that don't...
