You can’t fix stupid–don’t waste your time trying! Biden along with the rest of Obamaland and his loyal subjects have absolutely no idea what’s really happening to America and the sad thing is even if they did understand– they don’t care.They are too busy watching the Simpson’s or most of the other trash that is on TV. They are zombies–brain dead!

So when was the last time you ever heard a parent “brag” about their child’s “participant” award? The bragging happens with the gloating “winners”. I have never once seen a look of appreciation on the face of a “participant” award receiver. In fact I’ve seen kids smash such awards out of disgust immediately after receiving them. I’ve also seen the “winners” mock the participant award receivers (getting the idea for such taunts from people like you). Do you really think that the “winners” don’t ridicule the “participant” award receivers, especially at young ages? Also, I’ve never seen a display filled with participant awards. In fact, when I was young I didn’t even display, and wasn’t proud of, anything below third place. YOU and others like you are the only ones who don’t understand the difference between first and participant, and are TOTALLY jealous of a child who gets recognized for TRYING.

Trying is what brings progress! Those who are BRAVE enough to ATTEMPT in the face of adversity. Recognizing those attempts is a no brainer. Advances in Architecture (“out of caves”) Art (culinary art…”eating grass”) and Science (technology…”computers”) and even in warfare (Da Vinci is perhaps the most accomplished weapons designer) were made by ACADEMICS not athletes. Do you really think that Bill Gates, Gary Kildall (inventor of windows), Steve Jobs, Louis Pasteur, Galileo, Da Vinci, Aristotle etc., were great athletes? Do you think they were first in anything but academics? Everyone knows that most children who are “jocks/winners” end up on assembly lines and “nerds/losers” become commanders in adulthood. You also fail to realize that the “jocks” who get “first” in sports are typically the same ones that receive “participant” awards in math, art, spelling bees, or science fairs and vice versa.

As for your unsupported claim of “THAT is what makes them eventually snap and go on shooting sprees”:
First what an absolutely ridiculous statement, but you do have one thing correct, which is that parents who obsess about winning do pressure their children to succeed, and do steal their children’s youth. Although you are WRONG that it is the “parents who were always picked last” aka “losers” (participant award winners) that pressure their children. If anything, it is the “jock” parents who peaked in school as athletes that pressure their children. As they try desperately to relive their “glory days” again through their children. The type of parents that may have been the “best” in their team/school/league but never “went pro”, or the parents that were second or third but rarely first are the ones that try to live vicariously through their children to remedy their own MINOR failures (because they fail to see that second and third is still an accomplishment and only approximately 0.44% of all students go pro). These types of parents are the ones who scold and force their children to practice even harder after a loss, because it bothers them so much to lose. Parents who did not “peak” in school (“participants”) see the complete triviality of any youth awards (one major reason being that some children blossom faster than others) and do NOT pressure their children to win win win. In fact, participant or especially “less than third” awards could potentially alleviate some of the pressure that “jock” parents put upon children to win. That is until the child comes home to someone like you who will mock their award putting more pressure on them to satisfy close minded people like yourself.
Keep in mind that for my part I don’t think it matters whether everyone gets participant awards or not. What bothers me is how upset it makes you. It bothers me that you go spreading ridiculous rhetoric that implies that there is something wrong with acknowledging a child’s effort and attempt.

We were watching Judge Jeanine tonight and they also played the clip of the VP speaking about using a shotgun. Doesn’t he know that shooting a shotgun off the balcony where he and his wife live would be very dangerous to the surrounding areas of population? My gosh, and this is coming from the VP.

No jealousy here, just fully understand the human nature that recognized “if that’s all I have to do to for an award, prize, or pay check, that’s all I’m going to do.”

What kid cares about the difference between a “First Place” and “Participant” ribbon? It’s the parents who were always picked last when they were kids who are now putting so much pressure on their own kids that they don’t have the time or freedom to be KIDS!

Bullied by the kids who are more able to excelling AND their parents – who understand the difference between the two ribbons and the need for bragging rights at work – THAT is what makes them eventually snap and go on shooting sprees.

We’d still be living in caves and eating grass if our predecessors had that attitude, and you wouldn’t have a computer to show the whole world your lack of understanding of human nature.

Thank you for some common sense. How does the press not pick up stuff like this? If this were a conservative, they would be endlessly mocked for the next 500 years until their memory was well and truly destroyed. Joe Biden is a racist, sexist pig who uses liberal causes to further his power. He, like most liberals, couldn’t really care less about any of this stuff. They just looked at what would be the easiest route to winning and having the press on your side and voila’, they’re liberals. The way he talks about his wife, it’s obvious that he has no respect for women at all. Why would his wife need him to tell her how to protect herself with a gun? As if he’s some kind of expert on anything at all, but the way he speaks is extremely sexist and paternalistic, as if the woman had no brain whatsoever. I’ve never heard him refer to her as an equal, it’s always that he’s giving her advice about this or that…the man is a complete egomaniacal, self centered pig who thinks his wife is nothing more than an unthinking appendage…like his brain.

I agree, with this,,,,,
“I have a feeling that despite the appearance of power and purpose, Obama will fail to make any material/substantive changes to this document, or in its application. People are scared now, and that is good. However, he won’t win in this debate.” I can’t totally remember if I had put this in my post, I haven’t gone back to look. As I fininished that post, I was geting hit somehow with some bug. it took forever to me to finish the last 5-6 sentence’s. So I two spyware / av’s afterwards . Could it be some hacker messing with the site there? anyhow,,,
I also believe at this point, a lot of it is theater to appease the Lefts base, but they would sure to take any freebies now. I expect much more after midterms. Depends then, on how much he/they wants to protect the Office for Hillary or whomever runs. And then too, depends on how his narcissism lets his legacy play out. That and likely more so, I also believe hes the protege of Soros with Jarrett his controller. And if you know anything a Soros , his main MO’s are to support the worst of Socialism /Stalinism and the like, to either create chaos within, if not out right destroy other governments and societies, in ways he profits from. I’ll bet he bought into every firearms and sporting goods stock he could, when BO first got elected. And now he has and is for the second time, making a killing on the market as result. And I’m sure there are other markets his he’s pulling strings on with all manipulations.

You guys are stupid. If you have an AR 15 the bad guy is going to have one too most likely and he is one up on you because he know he’s coming to dinner. Even if you didn’t invite him. So you will loose anyhow gun or no gun. If they steel your gun then your in trouble or maybe it’s your gun they already stole, because you were in the toilet ann didn’t have it with you? Heck your own family member, boyfriend girlfriend, kid could shoot you with it. This is fact google it. It’s not even made up stuff like Glenn Beck reports.

The question is, why do Americans feel this need to protect themselves so muc? I have lived for 64 years in 8 countries, including Northern Ireland and Fiji and the only place I ever felt I might need to be armed to protect myself was when I visited the USA. What is wrong with America?

To slkgej6:
The Constitution certainly wasn’t written with the expectation that young and innocent school children would, one day, be slaughtered by a madman who had access to such guns either! You %$#@ morons, just go on waving the 2nd like it means anything in today’s world! No doubt one can save a house, filled to the rafters with highly unstable nitroglycerin, from exploding…taking ‘proper precautions’ and all…but I still would not want to live beside one! And your premise certainly doesn’t cover the cases where ‘proper precautions’ are NOT taken…which are legion. So, dont babble on about how you arsenal-holes should be allowed to have your own arsenal in your homes because of the 2nd…and being so responsible and all. Good for you…now vouch for all those who dont take the same precautions you confess to take. How do you propose to ensure/enforce that, genius? And there are plenty of ways around even ‘proper precautions’ as the Sandy Hook School killer did. Shame on you for putting your ridiculous all-abiding love for such horrible weapons ahead of children’s lives! No…instead you quibble about the ‘knockdown power’ of one versus the other…when it doesn’t take a gun expert to know that either would have killed those children just as effectively, fool.
God forbid such a horror should ever befall you – one wonders what would your stance would be then…after burying your beautiful child? Pity sakes, why dont they just sell bazookas or flamethrowers to anyone who asks to own one…or maybe even a f-ing tank…you know, so long as they sign a form…promising to take the ‘proper precautions’. I’m tired of fools like you, so in love with guns that you have to own arsenals. Hunting weapons are no problem; most have no issue with that. But geez, you hunt coyotes with an AR-15! Do you hunt moose with an Abrams? If you’re a hunter, you could kill a f-ing coyote with a crossbow, a 410 or a .22…even a f-ing BB gun if you hit the right f-ing spot…so why do you use an AR-15? I’ll tell you why: it gives you a boner. All your comments prove is that you’re a self-proclaimed ‘educated’ moron with such a stupid and undying love for guns, you’d support the 2nd amendment right down to the last standing American…who, no doubt, would own the best dang arsenal. Someday when your brain matures and your heart actually factors into your reasoning, you’ll wonder why you had to kill anything at all when it wasn’t actually required to survive. Get your violent impulses out at shooting ranges, paint ball venues or perhaps playing football without a helmet…I’m guessing you do that already.

I’m clearly aware that Biden is not the brightest star in the universe…but I cringed when I heard his gun recommendation. My “weapon of mass destruction” – or, the one I use to protect myself — happens to be a R/L 12g. First time I tried it – it blew me backwards onto my ass about 1/4 of a mile (at least it FELT that way…). I’ve since learned how to handle it appropriately. It’s kept next to my bed, and it’s loaded (the pets won’t touch it). I have enough confidence in my skills to know that if anyone came up the steps to my bedroom, their family members would be burying pieces. If there was a second intruder – his parents would be joining them. It doesn’t have the benefits of an automatic, but it sure as hell is intimidating, I wouldn’t need a second shot, and makes me feel safe.
