Gun Promoters No Place to Hide Now
Quote: JoemanJust playing devil's advocate as I have no stake here, but there could be a seat (or any odd number of seats) won by an independent, making a tie possible. No independents currently in the House, but there is one in the Senate.
I dont think a tie is a problem
Obviously in the event of a tie or push aces and eights acting as the house keeps all wagers

Hey, good point. I hadn't thought of that.
If there are any shenanigans like that, I trust the 2 bettors can hash out an agreeable result. I can see 2 reasonable outcomes: if the number of GOP and Dems is identical (due to independents), either the bet is a push, or the bet is decided based on who the independent member(s) caucus with. E.g., Bernie is technically an independent senator, but he caucuses with the Democrats and everyone knows he is closer to a Democrat than a Republican.
If they can't agree I will come to the board to ask for help in deciding. If all else fails it will just be a push. But honestly it is very low probability that the numbers will be exactly the same. It would be historic, really.

I think the odds are tiny that we will get a tie
To me, what determines a republican or Dem is their party identification on the ballot
Who knows, I may lose this bet
I follow the Wiz's advice on making a bet. Its not whether you win or lose. Its whether you made a good bet
I believe the odds are in my favor so I made the bet
I see in Wisconsin the Gov is afraid to hold special elections due to an impending blue wave
The courts in WI actually had to force Scott Walker to hold elections for empty seats
That's how scared Republicans are of elections
I believe I made a real good bet

I believe the intent of the bet was "control". If an independent caucuses with the dems then he/she is in my mind a dem. What say you terapined?
Quote: wellwellwellI believe the intent of the bet was "control". If an independent caucuses with the dems then he/she is in my mind a dem. What say you terapined?
I prefer to keep this bet cut and dried
Dems win the 218 or more seats, I win
Republicans win 218 or more seats, Wellwellwell wins
Any other result, go with the overall consensus of the forum
no forum consensus then a push
In the end, I'm a pretty reasonable guy
By sending off the 100, already written it off as gone lol

Simply put, you don't deserve a voice if you can't recite every single amendment in the Bill of Rights as well as having read and fully understanding each of the Articles written in the Constitution. If you don't have knowledge of the foundation that this country was founded upon and the history of it as well, you don't deserve a voice as well as any rights that our founding fathers died to protect and to give to each one of us. America was the first country ever to be truly 'free' and it's being taken away from us as each year goes by due to the mass uneducated public not being able to enforce their rights and keep the government in check. The only thing these kids know, is who Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and Kylie Jenner etc are doing on the daily and being droned out of their minds by looking at their phone all day at pointless gossip.
These kids are allowed to have a voice when I bet 99% of them can't recite more than 3 of the amendments in the bill of rights or any 3 amendments out of the 27. Actually I'm willing to bet 99% of everyone under the age of 35 can't recite 3 of the 27 amendments currently ratified. The only amendment that these people know is the old cliched 'freedom of speech'. I have FREEDOM OF SPEECH! They also don't even realize the 1st amendment is more than just freedom of speech and i bet they can't even name the other freedoms in that amendment such as freedom of the press, religion, the right to assemble, the right to petition the gov't, etc. They don't realize the ability to petition the government for a redress of grievances is much more important than the so called freedom of speech and i bet none of them even knew about that, let alone what it even means. They also don't realize the most important amendment is the 5th amendment and the due process clause contained within, and without it, the 1st amendment is MEANINGLESS. If you're not guaranteed due process by the gov't, you would have no FREEDOMS.
Also let me be clear, I'm not trying to bash these kids. When I was their age, I was completely oblivious as well and hopefully they then learn as they grow up, but my point is these kids should not deserve to have a voice since they're simply so uneducated about this country. You can't just start raising your voice trying to get rid of the 2nd amendment just because of some reported mass shooting. That just screams agenda and probably bought out by agenda based politicians. They did whatever they could to get these kids recognition and TV time. I'm completely sickened.
I bust your balls a lot, but when I read most of this it's obvious you have many incredible things going for you. Maybe you are just a square peg trying to fit in a round hole. I do hope you use some of this to sit back and times and instead of being reactive, think about some things you say publicly. You have incredible opportunities out there in whatever you want to do. But then again, maybe that doesn't matter to you. Either way, try to make yourself happier.

Only with others money, when it comes to his own money, he is a capitialist like most of us. Nobody needs a vacation home, but Bernie has one. Maybe he should allow those "less fortunate" than him to use it for free.

Oh really, were you alive back then to know or you're just re-hashing unconfirmed data from big pharma? Who was even recording the data back then to have those stats today? How can any of that data be relied upon. Of course big pharma is not going to say people are living shorter lives, thatd completely against their agenda.
Also, do you realize the amount of newborns and young children who died early in their lives right way back in the day, which skews the data average. If you have hundreds of millions of newborns and kids who die before the age of 10, you could still have loads of people living to the same age as they do today, but the average heavily skewed to be about 35 life expectancy due to the death of the children and the death in general of the adults who couldnt find food or water, or simply got mowed down by a lion.
You didnt exactly have a daycare to drop your kid off for the day and a mcdonalds to stop by for lunch anytime you felt like it. Tribes were hunting for food all day and animals attacking them during the day. If they didnt get food or water, the newborns didnt last very long. What about infections in the wild after being cut and wounded? Not an apples to apples comparison. Give the people back in the day the same luxury we do of having food and water at the snao of a finger and they would live to the same age expectancy as today, if not longer
Lastly, knowing how horrible prescription drugs are for you, how can you ever say its because of THEM that were living longer. Its commom sense. If were somehow living longer(which cant be proven) its not because of the drugs but because of a much more modern society with less infections, and an abundance of food and water, NOT because of the plastic tablet being inserted into your esophagus with millions of side effects.

You mention infections several times in your post. How do you think infections are cured these days? With a plastic tablet being inserted into your esophagus, many times (there are other ways too, like shots, but oral antibiotics are very common and I would guess the most common, although I don't know for sure).
And guess who develops new antibiotics to keep up with the evolving bacteria...uh...BIG PHARMA!!!!!!!11!!1

I understand your lack of trust in "Big Pharma", as they do have a profit motive.
But please, are you actually trying to argue that the class of drugs called antibiotics have not saved millions of people from death from infection? That the use of injectible forms of insulin haven't saved millions from death from diabetes? That antihypertensives haven't prevented stroke/MI/kidney failure in millions? That drugs have eliminated smallpox? That drugs have turned AIDS into a universally fatal disease to just a chronic illness?
If you want to argue that psychiatric drugs are overprescribed I can likely agree with you. Same for narcotics. Probably other examples, too.
But try and not sound like a silly child in the middle of a temper tantrum with your ludicrous generalizations if you want anyone to even remotely take you seriously here.

Im talking about small infections that can be cured without drugs, but back then the hygiene was so poor they didnt even have a chance to heal. They didmt exactly have queen sized beds to lay in each night and clean running water.
If people are living longer today(which cant even be confirmed anyway), but lets say yes we are livong longer today. To say it is because of prescription drugs lacks a very common sense understanding of past and present living conditions. The modern society we have today comapred to back in the hunter and gatherers days is not even close. Back then there wasnt an abundance of food, clean water, and a clean shelter to live in. How many people do you think died beause of those 3 things alone not to mention being mowed down by bears and lions that wouldve killed the life expectancy average?
The life expectancy average stat being used today is so vague and misleading. They want to make you think that its somehow contributed to drugs and vaccines

You just named off a bunch of diseases that are self induced due to a horrible lifestyle. First of all fasting cures infections stronger than antibiotics ever will. Too bad the world today cant go more than 6 hours without food their whole lives and they wonder why everyone is on 3 forms of medication by the time theyre 40.
If people didnt eat double cheeseburgers all day with diet pepsis and laid in their sofa after work eating more processed sugar, maybe all these so called 'diseases' such as diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, high cholestorol, all this bullshit wouldnt need 'drugs' to treat them. Not to mention you can treat these so called diseases without drugs anyway by just changing your lifestyle and beginning a fasting regimen as well.
Just doing a 72 hour water fast regenerates your body and starts to grow new white blood cells while also activating a process known as autophagy, which spring cleans all the waste in your body. Imagine if people did that once every two weeks?
For you to sit here and tell me were living longer because of prescription drugs is completely laughable. The same drugs that have thousands of side effects in every commercial you see.

Yea anti science. Go look up all the 'controlled' studies that have been done on fasting. Youll never see these studies his the TV airwaves though. Big pharma paid them off.
Remeber the whole breakfast is the most important meal of the day bs or the 6 meals a day crap to lose weight. Yea those uncontrolled studies were already debunked and it all comes down to thermogenics at the end of the day of food in and food out which determines your weight gain. 1 big meal a day is actually the most beneficial way to eat as studies have shown with one small low glycemic meal throughout the day such as fruit or low fat yogurt. Then one big meal at night. Yeah say goodbye to insomnia ankther made up bullshit disease because peoples lifestyles are all wrong. And no its not bad to go to bed on a full stomach, another myth.

Never said one day for things like that. But you can bet your ass off if you do a 40 day fast or a month long fast, not one disease in your body will live on. Diseases need 'glucose' to spread throughout your body. With fasting all of your glucose is depleted and your body begins to eat away at itself for energy destroying all of the garbage waste in your body through a process called 'autophagy'. Too bad the world, especially america cant go more tham 6 hours without stuffing a bagel in their mouth.

Here is the big difference between Hogg and Laura
Laura depends on the media to make money. Without the media spotlight, she is out of a job. She is in it for the money
Hogg is in it to because he truly believes in gun control. He is not dependent on the media and advertisers to make money like Laura does
He's just a student. He is not in it for the money like Laura is. Laura is a slave to her sponsors because of money. Hogg is a slave to no one. He is just a student. Next step, college.
A student with 650k followers on Twitter
Emma Gonzalez has over 1 million followers
Those followers are not going anywhere. Hogg and Emma have power simply due to the fact that 650k to a million people listen to them
Laura needs to be on TV to be heard. Emma and Laura just need their phone to be heard
Laura needs Foxnews backing to be heard
Emma and Hogg don't need any backing to be heard
Take myself. I don't watch foxnews so I never know what Laura is saying
I do have Emma and David on my twitter feed so I always know what they are saying
That's power and companies are listening to people that have 650k to over a million followers
That's why Laura backed down

So you are saying there were several hundred thousand people at the rally who never bothers to vote but this issue made them wake up all of a sudden to their world?
Maybe they can make America Great Again because they sure all hell didn’t contribute by voting before.
Quote: AxelWolfWhen I saw this David Hogg's picture at first, I thought, this kid looks like a school shooter himself.
I just hope he is using this “fame” to get some leg. Or whatever he likes.
Quote: BozI just hope he is using this “fame” to get some leg. Or whatever he likes.
He is using his fame to get everybody talking about gun control
Its working.
They even got Boz to discuss them and gun control
The conservative media cant stay away from the Parkland teens
That's power and that's why the conservative media is not ignoring these kids
EB over at DT is trying to convince members that Hogg is a Nazi
That's how scared EB and some conservatives are of these kids.
Quote: SteverinosAny time conservative media starts spewing conspiracy theories about their targets, you know those targets are making a difference.
I don’t disagree but like you feel with Trump, I feel he is on the wrong side of the debate. And that is why we believe like we do.
And while it’s sad so say, there is no doubt 17 kids dying is the best thing that has happened for Anti Gun lefties to promote their agenda in years.

I would've thought 20 kindergartners getting gunned down would make enough Americans say enough is enough, but nah. Some day, enough of you guys are going to realize that you aren't part of a militia and the the 2A is indeed the "greatest piece of fraud ever put on the American public."
I'm kind of with Saint Ronnie on this one: http://articles.latimes.com/1994-05-05/news/mn-54185_1_assault-weapons-ban
Quote: BozI’m insulted because I’m a Republican and now you called me awful. And even if you apologize I’m not going to accept it.
Don't worry, I would never apologize to you.
Quote: terapinedHere is the big difference between Hogg and Laura
Laura depends on the media to make money. Without the media spotlight, she is out of a job. She is in it for the money
Hogg is in it to because he truly believes in gun control. He is not dependent on the media and advertisers to make money like Laura does
He's just a student. He is not in it for the money like Laura is. Laura is a slave to her sponsors because of money. Hogg is a slave to no one. He is just a student. Next step, college.
A student with 650k followers on Twitter
Emma Gonzalez has over 1 million followers
Those followers are not going anywhere. Hogg and Emma have power simply due to the fact that 650k to a million people listen to them
Laura needs to be on TV to be heard. Emma and Laura just need their phone to be heard
Laura needs Foxnews backing to be heard
Emma and Hogg don't need any backing to be heard
Take myself. I don't watch foxnews so I never know what Laura is saying
I do have Emma and David on my twitter feed so I always know what they are saying
That's power and companies are listening to people that have 650k to over a million followers
That's why Laura backed down
Laura apologized yesterday, and yet she's still losing advertisers. Office Depot just dropped her an hour ago.
AGAIN: if you are a grown adult, don't pick on teenage massacre survivors. It's not a good look... I'm looking at you, Republicans!
