Re: Come on Hawkwing!

I also just want to thank everyone for paying the bills to keep the lights on at CougarCorner. I assume that you get more revenue when the ads are clicked on - so I click on one of them about 2 or three times a week just to make you some more money - If I'm wrong in that assumption let me know and ...

Re: BYU v Gonzaga (WCC Tournament Finals)

What I am curious about is why our players in the second half decided to throw out team basketball and try to play hero. I'm pretty sure Rose didn't tell them to throw out the playbook and just go 1 on 3 or 1 on 4 and everyone else just stand around so we have nobody under to get rebounds. Oh and le...

Re: Trump and guns!

Lets stay on topic here. This thread should only be in regards to the public, confirmed comments that Donald Trump made stating, step 1, take away the guns. Step 2, due process. I think a little more explanation is needed. What Trump was saying was that when there is overwhelming evidence that ther...

Re: Trump to impose new tariffs on steel and aluminum

Actually the "New Deal" made the depression "great". Unemployment was already down to 6% months after Black Tuesday. Not a New Deal proponent in the least, but you can't look at 6% unemployment in an agrarian economy the same way we look at it today with minimum wage and the New...

Re: Trump to impose new tariffs on steel and aluminum

Scott Linicomb of the Cato Institute is against it. He and everyone else who ever took an economics class or has even a basic knowledge of how supply and demand works. "Protectionism" doesn't work. It made the Great Depression "great" when it only should have been a recession. A...

Re: There are no smart gun laws

Absolutely. I'll wait for you or Mars to give me one example of a good that the government yielded to private markets that has decreased in volume produced. Airplanes, telephones, you name it, when the government gets out of any business, options improve tremendously. And somehow even the poorest o...

Re: Smart gun laws

I guess semiauto weapons will keep American citizens safe from a rogue government coming after them with tanks and helicopters. Okay, no, that's silly. The Constitution is much like the Bible- Good, but fallible. It allowed slavery, people. It's not 100% gospel. That being said, again, limiting is ...

Re: Smart gun laws

I don't know the answer, but there are lots of parts at play. I think discussing this subject is good, and contacting your local politicians is even better. I have no problem with banning all Auto and semiauto weapons, because there seems to be no legitimate public need for them. But that may be th...

Re: Smart gun laws

- 1966 University of Texas (17 dead) where hunting rifle was used. An interesting thing about the Texas shooting was that had one of the other people there that day who had his rifle in his truck, had he not gone and gotten it and held the shooter at bay, more would have died. Many times, it takes ...
