Wingnutties out of control!

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I think Idaho is where they cut off Mr Potato Head's dick and then he became a famous Fox News story. It was a big story at the time.
Do you enjoy that sort of thing?

Oprah owes the country a massive apology.

As an aside, who thinks our second amendment rights are in jeopardy?

Ahhhhhh, never mind. Dumb question.

This country and the hype that props it up have been so good to Oprah i doubt she feels she has to apologize to anybody for anything. And she probably won't. As for the second amendment being under siege, record gun sales these past couple of years sort of disprove that notion.

So he favors all out revolution, or do we just shoot if police come to your door, or should shooting government employees be limited to census takers?

You aren't the only one to think so.

A Boston doctor says it's 'long past time' for Oprah to acknowledge how she helped make Dr. Oz who he is, and 'make some attempt to stop the damage he's causing"

It's a tight primary.

If Oz will do worse than his opponents in Nov I support him now. Whatever he does in politics, his impact on health and medicine is unforgivable.

It's long past time for Oprah to repudiate him.

If the article is about a politician raping a 19 tear old girl, but doesn't indicate which to which party the rapist belongs, does that mean the rapist is a republican.
Kinda like a few years back when newspapers published pictures of blacks in murder coverage and you could bet the articles without pictures were of white murders.
Drunk driving PA Dems don't get their party named in news articles.

Former state AG back in jail for alleged probation violation

Terrible and much bad. Meanwhile, the Republican AG of South Dakota is still free and white more than a year after he hit and killed a man walking along the side of the road while allegedly texting about right wing wingnuttery during his drive home from a right wing wingnuttery meeting of party officials. They're currently agonizing over whether to impeach him. I think he should be put out on Route 88 sometime after midnight wearing black and carrying a bucket of horse shit while organizers of the event send endless teenagers, chronic drunk drivers, and incessant texting drivers barreling down the road toward him.

Unbelievable.

I use to post at the News Press. About 2004 or 05 the Pensacola paper forus were polluted by one poster who would post a hundred or so inflammatory titles. He would get banned, change his name and do it again the next day ...

A bunch of the liberals migrated to the NP. All was fine for about 3 weeks before the a-hole found us and ruined the NP.

Then someone, Mr. Sludge, created a private forum and I posted there. Met Ball there. He and I started bouncing around other Gannett papers. Ashville was dead, but Greenville was fun. Met a guy Julian - he may have been an apostle.
From there through another site and to here.

Did you post at the NP?

No, I didn't. I used to post at Topix before it became "Toxix" and then mercifully died.

That essentially would make college students living off campus in shared housing impossible

4 or more adults where 1 or more is unrelated. In other words, The Golden Girls would be criminals in Shawnee, KS. What will they do when Rose says that Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia are cousins? Genealogy searches? DNA tests?

Well, their theory is that some shared living arrangements effectively turn single-family zoned houses into apartments. Probably some do, but I think they're going to have a hard time getting by with this one

In court?

As an adverse side effect, there's already a national rental shortage for apartments. Where do they think people are supposed to go?

:D Legal at first until Candace Cameron grew up and Lori Loughlin moved in (no, I was never a viewer, I looked it up).

The same thing was tried in Missoula a long time ago. It's not in place, but I can't remember why.

Probably. I know even less about real estate law than I do criminal law, but looking only at the article, it looks like a clumsy rule that could be easily circumvented and thus inconsistently enforced. You've also got strong possibility of unintended consequences. Ultimately, though, I think they could tell you that you aren't allowed to rent out rooms in your house within a zone, but they can't tell you how many house guests you can have.

I had to look it up too.... :roll:
Full House is an American television sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC. The show is about widowed father Danny Tanner who enlists his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and childhood best friend Joey Gladstone to help raise his three daughters...

Thought it'd be a no no from the get go.
