Liberal Redneck: NRA thinks more guns solve everything
Wow, that a fascinating statistic you pulled out of your ass.
Let's see what literally THREE FUCKING SECONDS of searching on Google produces
(search term: "Australia homicide rate")
Oh, look!
http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/4510.0~2016~Main%20Features~Victims%20of%20Crime,%20Australia~3
Aaaaand I quote:
"Across Australia, the number of victims of Murder decreased by 4% between 2015 and 2016, from 236 to 227 victims
A weapon was used in 69% of Murders (157 victims). A knife was twice as likely to have been recorded as the murder weapon (71 victims), when compared to a firearm (32 victims). (Table 4)"
So there was a DECREASE in the murder rate in 2017. Furthermore, of 227 murders, only -32- were from firearms, or ~14%.
Let's look at mass shootings in Aussieland.
Oh, that's right, we can't: BECAUSE THERE WERE NONE!
How about the good ol' USA where any idiot can purchase a gun?
In 2016, there were 10,182 murders by firearms. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/195325/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used/). A total of 17,250 people were reported killed in the US in 2016, with the number of murders increasing by about 8.6% in comparison to 2015. (https://qz.com/1086403/fbi-crime-statistics-us-murders-were-up-in-2016-and-chicago-had-a-lot-to-do-with-it/)
Let's see here: ~14% of the murders is your maligned Antipodes were committed with a firearm and the murder rate was down while ~60% of the murders here in the US were committed with a firearm and the murder rate is up.
What conclusions can we draw from this?
Oh, yeah, there's this as well:
https://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/ausguns.asp
And a nb: I know you're going to howl and wail that Chicago has the most restrictive gun laws in the US and people are getting mowed down there left, right and center.
From NPR:
(https://www.npr.org/2017/10/05/555580598/fact-check-is-chicago-proof-that-gun-laws-don-t-work)
"A 2015 study of guns in Chicago, co-authored by Cook, found that more than 60 percent of new guns used in Chicago gang-related crimes and 31.6 percent used in non-gang-related crimes between 2009 and 2013 were bought in other states. Indiana was a particularly heavy supplier, providing nearly one-third of the gang guns and nearly one-fifth of the non-gang guns."
(actual study here: http://home.uchicago.edu/ludwigj/papers/JCrimLC%202015%20Guns%20in%20Chicago.pdf )
In conclusion: maybe do a little research next time, hmm?
The Australian and New Zealand law changes show that restricting the types of firearm, caliber, and magazine capacities has little to no effect. There are multiple studies (the majority in fact) concluding that the draconian Australian laws didn't even affect the homicide by firearm rate.

Honduras: One of the Worst Elections in Recent Memory
Following the military coup in 2009 (supported by the Obama administration, especially HRC), the current government (supported by the Trump administration) kills activists left and right, and changes the results of last weeks presidential election as it pleases.

Shannon Sharpe on Trump, NFL and Protest
So..which is it? The company dictates the rules (in which case stop your bullshit whining because the owners all stand with the protest) or some new draconian theory where freedom of speech only exists at home in your own yard (unless the president likes your message, then violent protest is patriotic anywhere)?
Trump is only pointing out how uppity these negros got under the darky president, and he's going to make America great again by fixing that.
You really...REALLY need a civics class, Bob. It's obvious that, if you've ever taken one, the information didn't stick.
Are you even aware that the "tradition" of teams standing at attention is 8 years old and a paid for marketing ploy for the military's recruitment where players are encouraged, but not required, to stand facing the flag at attention.

Trump's claim that this is about lack of gratitude is just one more in an endless string of lies and misdirection. I would think you would be sick of being jerked around like that, but clearly not yet. That's just as true as his claim shortly afterwards that the repeal and replace bill had passed....(it didn't even get a vote), or his claim that his new tax plan won't benefit him (but using his last available taxes as a true representation of his finances, it would save him around $1 BILLION and raise the rates on the poorest by at least 20%).
The peaceful protest is about racial inequality...which Trump highlights quite well, even as he denies it's existence.
NFL product and ticket sales, and total viewers are reportedly up. ESPN is only one network of dozens.
Nothing to do about racism just good old American patriotism..
I can't go around wearing a Trump or Obama hat while on the job as I meet customers.... Company dictate rules of conduct. Politics do not belong in the work environment.
Trump is only properly pointing out how ungrateful some are by disrespect the very unity of America activity of standing for the National Anthem..
Sales of NFL tickets and clothing and ESPN ratings will dictate the true direction of this .
Liberal Redneck - Transgender Patriots and the GOP
The problem is that this health care cost is so small, when you compare it their other health care costs.
DoD spent 1.9 billion on tobacco-related health care issues in 2009. I think that is more than the cost of health care for transgender troops.
They currently spend more on Viagra ($41.6m) than on health care for transgender troops ($8.4m).

2009 Chevy Malibu vs 1959 Bel Air Crash Test
Seems to be a couple of dupes of this. This one is still alive:

2009 Chevy Malibu vs 1959 Bel Air Crash Test
From the comments in 2009 when this crash test was first released, they won't believe it. People said that it was "obvious" that they had removed bolts and the engine from the Bel Air and that a real crash wouldn't go that way.
Even faced with evidence that modern cars are stronger, they will still say things like:
They probably won't believe this one either - https://videosift.com/video/Crash-tests-SUV-vs-Minivan-Which-one-does-better
I know many people that always swear their old cars are safer in a crash because they're heavy and "solid". "The other car is my crumple zone."... I'll have to share this video to them.
