Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

moved to France

My deepest condolences.

Well, for me. Its been a significant improvement.  My purchasing power has increased significantly, I have quick access and affordable access to health care, and I have all the freedoms afforded to Americans and more.  In NYC, my effective tax rate was 36%, here in Paris it was 29% the last time I did my taxes.

The only downside; I am not able to purchase weapons, and every little dam process requires a shit ton of paper work and bureaucratic nonsense.  Small price to pay ...

Do you feel like not being able to own a gun is a problem where you are? I suppose that if you're in Paris it might matter, but I can't help but think that if I didn't live here in America I wouldn't feel the need to arm myself.

Years ago?! Geez I have zero handle on time.. if somebody had shown me your username and avatar last week; I'd have been like "yeah it's been a couple of month since I saw him around" :lol
I wouldn't want somebody with 18 kids to mow my damn lawn, based on a longstanding bias I have against crazy fucks.

Good to hear from you!
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
