Maybe the dead should have watched Hang Em High en español....takes place in Oklahoma..1889.  They execute two juveniles in the film, too...white kids...who were accomplices to cattle rustling.  Every county in OK has voted Republican for the last two elections...likely quite a few gun owners out there.  Darwin at work.  Give the shooter three taco stickers for the pick-up truck...one for each kill.

Your post should read ".. takes place in Indian Territory .. 1899 .. that is now Oklahoma ..  which became a state in 1907."

At close range, a 22 would have been enuff. 

AR-15 rounds are .003 inch larger diameter than a "22" but have significantly more mass.

It's not just the diameter of the projectile that is important, but mass ... and velocity resulting from the quantity of powder in the shell casing. In a home invasion, stopping power is important. 

Actually I would prefer a belt fed .30 cal Browning machine gun.

Ali won by unanimous decision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_vs._Joe_Frazier_II

Outcome of fight II ... so ... still not a very good reason and pretty silly (IMHO) to compare Trump to Frazier.

Actually one was a heavyweight world champ, the other ... again IMHO ... a lightweight carney barker.

The end is nigh.

 

Actually, Trump losing the health care thing shows (mostly to Republican lawmakers) that he's vulnerable and doesn't need to be blindly heeded.

 

Yet, there are bigger hits to come for Trump.  Right now, he's like Frazier in the 1st round against Ali.

I'm not sure why you would, IMHO, slander a great fighter and heavyweight champ by even mentioning him in the same post with DT ... let alone comparing them ... and suggesting that Smokin' Joe lost?  Perhaps a factoid or 2 are in order.

The Fight of the Century (also known as The Fight) is the title boxing writers and historians have given to the boxing match between WBC/WBA heavyweight champion Joe Frazier (26–0, 23 KOs) and Ring magazine/lineal heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali (31–0, 25 KOs), held on Monday, March 8, 1971, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.[2][3][4] Frazier won in 15 rounds via unanimous decision. It was the first time that two undefeated boxers fought each other for the heavyweight title.

I think Trump should begin to build some very large housing projects in Hawaii, then send all these immigrants there, problem solved.

Actually, since DT is your POTUS .. sending them to your neighborhood so you and your posse can keep an eye on them is a better option.

Using your logic any military operation with casualties is a failure? WWII using your logic was a complete failure and we should have let Germany take over Europe and left Asia to the Japanese so we would not take any casualties. People die during war (news flash) hopefully more of the other guys than our own. US Navy Seals are professional warriors, every one of them is a volunteer, and they know the risks of going into combat. 

So ... those SEALs should just shut up and die quietly?

Btw, cue Trump to call to cede Hawaii back to the islanders. 

Maybe that's the hidden agenda of those Polynesians?

You hit the nail on the head.  Any hillbilly from Oaklahoma could do the work they do for cheap.  But here's the rub.  They won't.  Do you think you'd ever see one of them sweating in an agricultural field in the hot sun?  Never ever happen.  They can make more money living off government subsidies.

 

Again, you have no idea of what it's like in the US with regards to illegal immigration.  Reform is needed, but for different reasons.

Where exactly is that Oaklahoma place?  Is that some suburb across the bay from San Francisco? Or maybe they changed the spelling after my departure so I couldn't find my way back home.

Who are the hillbillies now?

It could be partially furnished, have a private or community pool i will consider every offers

Not really meant to be an offer as I have nothing to rent out.  Just commenting re. my own experiences over the years.

The "fully furnished" might be a bit of a problem -- depending on your definition.

" .. or a swimming pool." -- probably a major issue if not a community pool.

When we built a couple of years or so ago, I opted for a tank style hot water heater.  I wanted my rain shower to serve an appropriate purpose on cold "winter" mornings. If I recall, we bought a 35 liter German make -- and mounted it on an outside wall on our covered terrace.  It has worked out very well -- mostly.

A few weeks back the hot water side hose blew out.  Flooded the terrace (no real harm) but had Ms. Klikster hot-footing and scrambling around. Got the hose replaced with a (hopefully) stronger one.

Why I'm posting this is to warn folks.  The electrician who installed our unit told of installing a similar heater in a new build about the same time ours was connected -- a house about 20-30 km south of Khon Kaen.  But the guy (farang) wanted his hidden and insisted it be in the space above his ceiling!

So if any of you folks did the same, or know someone else who did, please let them know about the potential for some serious water damage.

Please make it go away -- or I will.

How did Fidel change your life?
 

Nukes in Cuba -- worried there might be a war so I enlisted.

That war didn't happen -- Vietnam did.

Recommendation -- don't apply talc/body powder in the same room your aircon is located. Learned that one the hard way.

Could be that her failed purchase of a building has created some legal implications.

Really sensitive post, Grubster -- but -- If you are not now handicapped, how can you possibly know what you would want as a handicapped person,

(I have decided to collect some of the truly inane posts about the U.S. Elections. I will post it at some point -- please feel free to PM your recommendations.)

Here are 4 policies that Trump is already back-pedaling on

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/11/here-are-4-policies-that-trump-is-already-back-peddling-on/

 

-I didn´t see that one coming! 

Don't you just love politicians and their "creativity"? 

Thursday, Newt Gingrich—who’s reportedly being considered for Trump’s Secretary of State—admitted the president-elect’s promise to get Mexico to pay for it may have been a “campaign device.”

“He may not spend much time trying to get Mexico to pay for it,” Gingrich said. “But it was a great campaign device.”

We have a Democratic Republic or Representative Democracy with 50 states and a Federal District. All of witch need a voice. The Electoral College, while flawed I guess, it still vastly superior than a strict Popular Vote as Cali, New York, Illinois, etc would carry every election, and the rest would be left to rot. This may appeal to some people but in fairness and respect for the country as a whole, its better. 

The electoral college is the tip of the iceberg. Then on January 21, 2010;  LINK

Corporations, trade associations, unions and nonprofit groups still aren’t allowed to make direct contributions to federal politicians, but today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that such groups may now spend unlimited amounts of money advocating for or against politicians.

People, non Americans like yourself always

 

Now I get some notion of how Barack felt toward Donald Trump. 

 

You've fooled most of the people here into thinking you are an American but your lack on knowledge of our culture and laws won't convince the astute

 

 

 

 

Carry on. 

Looks like your puppy is barking up the same wrong tree you are. I seem to recall that Pub' was an officer in thew US Army.

Do you have better intell?

OMGImInPattaya to Slip, "One of the most valuable things to come out of Trump's campaign is to expose your PC talk for  the poppy cock that it is ."

WOW, SLIP! That makes you a political rock star -- or OMGImInPattaya sound pretty stupid -- or both -- or trumps campaign sorely lacking -- or all 3?  

Obama should fire Comey now -- to hell with appearances or political fallout!

Congratulations America for turning the democratic process into the laughing stock of the world, and thanks, it is rather entertaining!

Gee, Shawn.  So glad you are entertained by what could result in disaster for millions of people.
