When I was young many years ago, we were taught that we would either get warts or spend our eternal lives burning in hell for masterbation. Should we go back to that teaching?


Hell....we were taught "you'd go blind" if you "masterbated"......I quit when I needed glasses.

The EOS R5 will change how we think about mirrorless, how we think about photography, how we think about life.

Great images too.


That's a lot of "thinking" to do...I'm retired (limited income)....so I will have to stick with the Canon 7Dmkii and the s-l-o-w 10fps....Those ARE fantastic captures from the mirrorless ...Thank you for sharing.

Did you forget to flush your latest dump?
Is that the best you have to offer the discussion?
How talented you are to get that curly on top, like a Dairy Queen serving! Do you do that by sliding around on the seat, or can you do it simply with sphincter control? (Asking for DJT.)

Saw a Swallowtail and decided to use the big gun - D7200 AF S Nikkor 200-500 1:5.6 E ED with TC1.4 E II. The results surprised me. I was working at the minimum distance that would focus, hand held. A very large near Macro!


Great job with that big lens....very rich colors!

Interesting read breaks gun "violence" down into statistics instead of giving you a blanket number the Democraps throw out to you...........
-Mike-

JUST HOW DANGEROUS ARE FIREARMS ???

There are 30,000 gun-related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun-related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death:


65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws

15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified

17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug-related or mentally ill persons gun violence

3% are accidental discharge deaths


So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation?

480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago

344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore

333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit

119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years)


So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause.


This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1.


Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, so it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths.


Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of the crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals, and thinking that criminal will obey laws is ludicrous. That's why they are criminals.


But what about other deaths each year?

40,000+ die from a drug overdose THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!

36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths

34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide)


Now it gets good:

200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital!


710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides.....Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions!


So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It's pretty simple.:

The taking away of guns gives control to governments.

The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace.


Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs.

So the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of a Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power."

Remember, when it comes to "gun control," the important word is control," not gun."

So, why compete for one resource? It electricity is at a premium in CA, it would seem that it would be difficult to charge all those cars during peak electrical usage. BTW, are there that many windmills in CA? How does CA produce their electricity?


California buys from Oregon (BPA Bonneville Power Administration )

Talk to our vets about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to our military leaders about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to our border patrol about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to people that had been diagnosed with a terminal illness about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to the hundreds of business people that moved back to the US from foreign countries about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to the hundred million Americas that received the C***d v*****e about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to the dozens of political hostages that were released from foreign governments about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to the 20 million Americans with children that got an average raise of two thousand dollars in their paychecks because of lower taxes about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to the several hundred felons that benefited from his prison reform action about Trump not accomplishing anything. Talk to the ten thousand men and women that had jobs working on the Keystone Pipeline about Trump not accomplishing anything.

And when you're finished talking with those mentioned above try speaking with the thousands of people that couldn't get business relief checks under the Biden administration because of the color of their skin. Speak with the millions of parents that are still trying to get their children back into a classroom under the Biden administration. Speak with the people that suffered over two billion in property damage in Portland and Seattle under the Biden administration. Speak with the contractors who have seen the cost of lumber increase nearly 300% under the Biden administration. Speak with the parents of the dead babies found floating in the Rio Grande under the Biden administration. Speak with the Governors in the states where i*****l i*******ts are being dumped in the middle of the night under the Biden administration.

Ah my dear friend Karken, be careful where your hatred of Mr. Trump might lead you. Every now and then you will encounter someone that expects you to back up your pronouncements with a few facts.
