How is it that someone who is only 18 years old can buy weapons and ammunition? 

What does age 18 have to do with it though? What I'm asking is are you saying an 18 year old shouldn't be able to buy this, but a 21 year old or a 25 year old should? I'm just trying to figure out where the line is to be drawn IF we are only talking about age...


(EDIT): I am not trying to argue or contradict, just trying to understand.

I'm not so much mad at FC as I am sad at FC. I have had a lot of other services and mobile phone apps that started out as great money makers only to later wither up and blow away over the years. FC is headed in that same direction and it simply makes me sad. I hardly ever attempt their surveys anymore and don't remember the last time I earned my daily PTC. I've even stopped doing the daily 2¢ emails even though they are easy and automatic.

Right now -  the only really good thing about FC IS the forum! Bonuses aside, the established community in the forum is really what brings me back on a regular basis.

Someone explain to me how Crypto isn't a scam. Because all I am seeing is people buying it in hopes the prices goes up to sell at a profit. But what can I use Crypto besides that?

Read the multitude of posts that oldbuddy has made with regard to bitcoin - and then see if they answer your question! (Not meant to sound snarky or condescending...)
You can buy pretty much anything with it.

And isn't it kind of sweet and fun when they mispronounce things?  I kind of really liked hangeber, instead of hamburger, from my youngest son when he was really little.

Your remark then reminds ME of our younger daughter's excitement as a child of seeing a "hep-a-cher" flying in the sky. We live nearby the local hospital and those life-flight hepachers could be pretty loud flying over our house when bringing patients in and out!

I am not going to apologize for showing and telling you how God feels RE christendom.

No need to apologize. I was simply making my feelings known about some of the Democrats in Congress is all...

Why dont you at least and man up to the fact how God feels about blood instead of saying you agree with him and NOT me?

Because I do not agree with YOUR interpretation of how God feels about blood.


I disagree with your opinion of what the scripture says/means. I don't know how to state it any plainer than that. Go ahead and consider me dangerous - I've never been described that way before, but maybe it will impact me in a positive way... But your jw interpretation isn't the same as my Church's interpretation. What authority is the jw interpretation based upon that gives it some divinely inspired - never before realized exclusive lock on the true interpretation of scripture? Despite your insistence, *I* simply do not believe your jw interpretation of bits and pieces of scripture are the ultimate authority on those snippets.


Disregarding the fact that Jesus gave the authority to His apostles who were the first in the line of succession of the popes (many of whom had faults - they were men... all men are imperfect - that still doesn't invalidate the authority that Jesus gave) - I choose to trust that Church instituted by Christ over 2000 years ago over a church created by another man less than 200 years ago.


I know you won't read this link because you are not permitted to. That limits our ability to have a meaningful discussion on the topic, but perhaps someone else questioning this debate will follow the link and learn something they didn't know. Here is a good explanation of where the authority comes from: https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/authority-to-teach


You aren't asking me to "man up" you're asking me to "cop out". I still admire your enthusiasm and dedication - as I always have. But I'm fine to just let this drop ... being a dangerous person and all - you should have to admit that I at least have a little bit of integrity in doing that, right?
