    So who do think would win?
    The old guy that eats mushrooms?
    The old guy that eats tofu?
    The old guy that can not remember what he eat?
    Or this old guy that had rattlesnake soup for dinner?

    I just wanna see it. In a cage. Somebody locks the cage. They all are in a standoff. They might have to make teams. Either way, I would pay to see it.

    When I was young we went to see women's mud wrestling. Now, young guys want to watch old men go at it? How things have changed in the last two decades. :biglaugh:

    My gramps had a rattlesnake skin around his bedroom window. Killed it with a shovel hunting somewhere when I was a kid.

    I remember watching him wash his hands with gasoline. Good times.

    I thought you disliked the right and left equally?

    Bite me.

    I realize it's PC to automatically rubber stamp the character and honesty of all people who are not caucasian and native-born, but to ignore the reality of how easily a few bad recruits could pull off another 9/11 type attack or much, much worse is childishly irresponsible.

    It was recently revealed Obama gave automatic citizenship to 2500 relatives of Iran's leaders as part of his shady deal with them. 2500 sworn enemies of the US, now instant US citizens. Maybe a few of them enlisted.

    I don't view serving in the US military as a dirty job that should be rewarded with special treatment.

    I see serving in the US military or any other branch of government as a privilege and an honor reserved for US citizens.

    As a US citizen who pays for government services I deserve to be governed "By The People", not by a collection of poorly-vetted foreign misfits, rejects and criminals who have no concept of freedom.

    Sorry to disappoint you but I didn't get old by getting into fights for sport.

    I regard any physical attack as attempted murder and respond accordingly. I bear arms as is my unalienable right, as does River (hypocritically) and I assume MarAzul. SlyPokerDog probably at least has rabies.

    Bottom line: Nobody is putting me or MarAzul in a cage.

    You should move to northern Idaho. They have people just like you.

    Padded room, on the other hand, seems likely.

    Funny when you mention something that seems obvious, but get mocked/attacked for it, then the next day it occurs for all the world to see...

    A U.S. service member has been killed and two others were wounded in an "apparent insider attack" in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, according to NATO.

    The two wounded service members were being treated for injuries and are in stable condition, the NATO Resolute Support mission said in a statement.

    The names of the service members will not be released until their next of kin were notified. Additional information was not immediately available and the incident was under investigation.

    Except in Portland it was more "hiding behind facemasks, throwing rocks and then running away".

    But other than that it was exactly like a cage match. :smiley-violence:

    I have an actual question for Maris and everyone else who thinks letting those who are not yet legal citizens join the military is wrong. If you were to try and pull off a terrorist attack, what would be easier.
    1. Trying to sneak someone through not just one but three sets of vetting process and into the military and then have no control over where they will be stationed or their security clearances or responsibilities, while at the same time having them be under more surveillance then a regular soldier if they look or talk differently then those soldiers they are stationed with.
    2. Simply trying to bribe someone in the position that you need for the attack to take place?
    Personally I think the second option would be much easier and have a higher success rate.
