I find it humorous when people (rightwingers) use the term Moonbeam. They have no idea where it came from. and,,,, he as California's former top cop, is a gun owner.
Yeah, china is doing so great /sarcasm.. Kinda helps social relations when you have a generally common language, a healthy culture, and everyone predominately looks the same. Things get interesting ofc when you throw in tons of different ethnicity groups, don't have strict immigration enforcement, and have a sh*t culture to bat.

Don't really care what Moonbeam is .. He is heavily guarded and most probably exempt from any of the gun laws he hands down to the rest of is..

Perspective/context/details are most often lacking .. Makes for really horrible comparisons

If you voted for Obama, you voted for a man who could not care less about the great outdoors, of course, neither did his opposition, can't say much good about a man that doesn't sleep outside in the rain once in while. Oh, by the way, using fibreglass compound bows on herbivores is not very manly, I recommend pig hunting with a real bow, or at least use the compound on real game like the guy in the photo, then you might impress the boys down at the Eureka Owl Club:
And you degrade/insult without debating.Something I'm sure you wouldn't get away with face to face. Most of the laws being proposed or passed don't even pertain to the people passing them. I am not ok with that. Not one bit. Don't let partison politics cloud your skull.

Move to New Mexico. Open carry ok. Have some "nasty" people around here. I carry and I have a 12 ga. with me in the house and other places. Of course I live out on a ranch and if I want to shoot/practice just open the door...

Not really into debating this China vs. America tangent in regard to "open handgun carry" ... but do find it curious that you cite China as having a "healthy culture" and the U.S.A. as having a "sh*t culture" ... I don't agree in the slightest on either count ... China has considerable diversity self-perceived within its far-flung borders, including several pretty distinct languages, and some real class distinctions and sub-cultures that go with ... and a governing culture that is also pretty infamous for having worked hard at destroying the rich cultural history of that fascinating nation. As for stable immigration policy --- lol, yeah, so many people want to join the contemporary Chinese lifestyle and evolution ... must be hard to keep all the invaders out!

Your comments kinda reflect the very "discontent" personality that I find so baffling in America ... homogenous China = good? -- America sucks?

I work with 3 people that are from China here on visas and none want to go back. 1 to the point she mentioned she would rather die than go back. And these are the ones that have it good already.

I don't need a history or geography lesson. I am quite aware of the diversity of languages and sub-cultures in china. My statement remains... I never said one was good and one was bad.. I stated, there was a reason buried in the social makeup of china as to why there isn't much of what you have here in the U.S .. a concept that seems to escape highnlite.

Yeah, I get what you were responding to ... I don't get why you feel that America has a "sh*t" culture (your exact words) ... and, btw, you DID say that China has a "healthy culture" ... if it did once, it doesn't anymore. If you don't need a "history or geography lesson", maybe an attitude tune-up?

Apparently Ye...... you don't know much about China.




Oh and by the way, China too has an illegal immigration problem, estimated to be 50,000,000 illegal immigrants in China.

Really? I degrade? Here, find fault with anything I post, show the world my facts are not accurate. Don't whine, convince.

I have no partisan politics, Conservatism is a psychological state, not necessarily a political stance, there ain't nobody more conservative than a traditional Democratic Southerner.

Oh, another flaw in Conservative ideology is that they commonly hold beliefs unsubstantiated by research and or facts.
