That requires too much filling in blanks, dotting i's and crossing t's and extrapolating beyond the written word and they just aren't capable of doing that. So spell it out. Leave no doubt. Make it very very very clear for them.

Can you use the same excuse religious folks do who don't want to serve same-gender people or provide birth control material? "My religion made me do it"? :(

But it seems to me if you look at it as a TEMPORARY situation and pay back everything you owe with interest if you can that would show you are a person of good character and can be trusted to fulfill your obligations. At least that is how I'd look at it. I'd be happy to approve a loan for such a person with such a background. Betting on good character is usually a sure thing.

Now if the record shows MULTIPLE bankruptcies isn't that being dangerously gambly with the money you advance? Or is that WHY the donjohn prez had to go to foreign countries for loans? He was a deadbeat in the US. Mebbe? I"m gonna ask.

They would NOT have their weapons in hand because it was the element of surprise that caused more death. So at some point they'd grab their guns and start shooting. At some point. Even so for a few second some of them would die. All of them would be afraid. For a few seconds. Maybe that is all it would take for them to finally hear what the kids are telling them because as far as I can tell everything the kids said fell on DEAF EARS. You only hear what you want to hear. SIGH. The kids are just starting and maybe they won't give up. Have you? less

Pelosi continued, “Let’s sit down and talk this through and see what makes sense. Not some commitment to a promise that we are going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it, that is never going to happen. But let’s talk about where a more serious structure might be necessary–where fencing will do or mowing the grass so people can’t be smuggled through the grass. That’s something– levies, technology, personnel.” less

They are clueless, ignorant, dumb. They listen and the don't hear a word. Wasted time. Worthless. Valueless. AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN.
Is that the best he has to offer? The only thing he heard was his own voice and not theirs? So folks is that what YOU think will end the carnage? SIGH.

How do we know the sellers are doing what they are legally supposed to do when they sell a gun to someone. By the way what exactly are they supposed to do? Is there a way to audit it or do we just take people's word for it?

So if more of them are the mass murderers among us why don't more of them buy and use guns? If it's a thing Dems do why are so many not doing it? Can anyone explain the puzzling "truth" this person is promulgating?

Children who score low on I.Q. tests are more likely to develop prejudicial beliefs and socially Conservative politics as adults. They have a great resistance to change and like structure and order.

Is not understanding or misunderstanding or getting it all wrong the price you pay for having inadequate mental capacity and/or rigidly dogmatic intractable beliefs? If you take people/words at face value how often do you get it wrong? It seems to me that the distance between TRUE and FALSE should be very great. But sometimes? It is barely measurable. SIGH. We keep trying though don't we? To actually understand/comprehend/perceive? Why does it matter?
