Simple - both confederate flag and swastika are symbols of hatred. Hoyt Mar 2012 #14
Wait. shadowrider Mar 2012 #15
I fixed it for you. You are correct, it was poorly worded -- but true. Hoyt Mar 2012 #20
I get it now, after re-reading it about a hundred times shadowrider Mar 2012 #19

I don't owe anyone an apology for voting for a bill after it is already set for passage. Hoyt Mar 2012 #40

A lot of Democrats in Georgia are right wing, always have been. Hoyt Mar 2012 #42

Lawl, now it's a conspiracy!?! X_Digger Mar 2012 #25
So your assertion is that CCW permit holders actually commit lots of crimes but don't get caught. Atypical Liberal Mar 2012 #27
Of course not, they weren't caught. Hence no data. Hoyt Mar 2012 #28

I made a "founded" claim. In politics there is not always data because we are looking to future. Hoyt Mar 2012 #34
Founded on what? Besides your personal bias that is. nt hack89 Mar 2012 #35
Just man up and admit it, you lied. oneshooter Mar 2012 #38

Ha, but they are no less likely than an individual who qualifies for a permit but Hoyt Mar 2012 #22
Hoyt, honestly, your next to last sentence makes no sense shadowrider Mar 2012 #23
Makes a lot of sense. You are more likely to discharge a gun than I and other non-toters. Hoyt Mar 2012 #24
Yes, but you don't get to pick those kinds of people to surround yourself with. Atypical Liberal Mar 2012 #26
