        Off Topics doesn't allow uploading/attaching of images. It's always been that way.

        I've often regretted creating a thread there, because a day or two later discovering I can't attach an image (and having to host something 'GOC only' on my website instead).

            I prefer to post on "hobbies and recreation" over "off topics"
            Why does the rest of the country get first dibbs on half my income?

                How goes the battle?
                Making headway?
                I'm still seeing question marks in place of apostrophes from time to time.

                  I expect the inaugural sticker draw will sell out first.

                      Like the Firearms Act?
                      Gun Control is about making it unlawful for you to use, carry, or possess a firearm.

                      All restrictions/prohibitions on the use, carriage, or possession of firearms must be repealed.

                      Middle ground?

                      What middle ground?

                        Exactly like the Firearms Act.

                        The Conservatives had an opportunity to change the Act like they'd promised, and had they done so, could have counted on gun owners votes in perpetuity. Now? Gun owners know they are another political football, and are to be treated as such.

                          Not much different from the Lieberals or Dippers then, those other two have promised to fix or bring about changes in many aspects of our life yet seldom deliver but they still get to collect plenty of votes each election cycle.

                          People/sheeple/voters, whatever you want to call them are on the whole low information, gullible simpletons who are easy to manipulate and lead.

                          I think you need to try and let go and get over your hurt from feeling that the conservatives tricked or cheated you and realize all the politicians of all stripes do the exact same thing and instead try to pick the one who does the least amount of damage to the country and who screws you over the least.

                          Dwelling on something that happened before that hurt your feeling only really hurts you more than you them by saying your not happy how they treated you before.

                          Did you hate your dad or mom when they tricked or lied to you when you where young? no you didn't, because you grew up and realized that sometimes thing go differently then you wanted but you still survived.

                          Constantly harping on about the firearms Act and the conservatives does not make you right and them wrong, all it does is make you look small minded and petty.

                            I will never forgive, nor forget, how the globalist CPC lied their faces off to gun owners.

                            How that makes me look in your eyes isn't of the slightest interest to me.

                                frequently I post a news article, having forgotten to fix the punctuation, but don't get a "are you human?";
                                and then I fix the punctuation to make it readable, and then I get a "are you human?".
