  1. Three of my civilian rifles are stamped .223, and I've been shooting M855 with them since as far back as the 90's. If your barrel is from 1983, sure, it might not handle the SAMI pressure safely, but you don't find many barrels that can't handle both on the market anymore. What you may have a problem with is the firing pin. The primer on 5.56 is recessed a miniscule amount deeper, and a .223 pin is a hair shorter, which sometimes causes it to not strike, dudding the round

  2. By definition, a cult is secretive & has a misplaced sense of devotion to a figure. None of the Rajneeshees ever felt their faith misplaced in their leader, just his underlings managing the empire. In their defense, everything is still in plain sight in the books still being sold today. Unlike the Scientologists. And the Mormons. And just about every evangelical megachurch out there. As a Catholic, I gotta tell ya, our shit is pretty cultish too. There's a whole lotta secrets in the Holy See and the church in general, as recent news would tell you.

  3. I own my home in Portland, OR. Let me kind of give you a timeline of how the housing crisis we have here went down, chronologically. 2007: New construction on grossly overpriced, packed-in-shoulder-to-shoulder housing developments go through the proverbial roof, beginning of housing bubble here. House flipping runs amok. 2008: Those houses fail to sell, sitting empty because they were A. Overpriced to begin with, B. Wages have been flat for several years now 2009: Renters, often renting from the same companies that are building the houses that aren't selling for a fortune, see their rents start to creep at least 10% at first 2010: Housing bubble has completely burst, property values begin decline, houses still sit empty 2011: Rents skyrocket, coming close to 30% increased cost by now. Since no one is buying our overpriced homes, groups like GSL properties jack up the price of their rental apts to cover their loss on home construction. At this time, I bought a cheap house in a bad neighborhood at the bottom of the bubble because it was cheaper ($725 per month to own, versus $490 that became $750 in 5 years for my 1 bed Apt) than renting. I would not be the first to come to this realization 2012: OLDER home buying spikes. Bigtime. Home prices begin a massive rise that continues until 2018. Property flipping begins again. Rents do not decrease to compete with rising home ownership costs. Transplants from out of state begin to trickle into Portland for both tech jobs and the quirky culture. Small businesses increase, jobs increase, but wages stay flat 2013: Neighborhood homes & businesses who were in old buildings begin being bought up, priced out, and torn down to accomodate the flood of new Condos that are being put in their place, because the Portlandia Craze has begun. Homelessness stops being just junkies and mentally ill people, starts becoming working locals who literally can't afford the place they lived for a decade. Start seeing them on every on/off ramp panhandling. 2014: Houses continue to rise in price, rental price of apartments rises even faster. More condo/Apartment construction, more beloved local establishments built over the top of them 2015: Transplants are now flooding into Portland. Wages start to see some increases. Word gets around that Real Estate moguls are increasing their pull in City Hall 2016: Supply side Rental economics hits it's current peak, Portland has become a property gold rush, homeless locals in droves, high-income tech transplants are having a tough time affording rent too, people are buying homes that they definitely won't be able to pay off in their lifetime, City leadership green light even more construction on condos, bulldozing more local iconic spots to make room for them under the lie that it's "providing affordable housing", turns out to still be just more overpriced apartments stacked like filing drawers 2017: Rent for my old 1 bedroom, 500 foot apartment in the suburbs has hit $1180. When I first moved there in 2006, it was $490. My cheap, bad neighborhood house is still $725, but just about everyone else with a mortgage is paying closer to $1600+ for a Skinny Home, and oddly, even more for an old home that has lead paint, asbestos, or other problems 2018: Homeless crisis reaching boiling point, some are being attacked by neighborhood thugs with things like tripwires at throat height that nearly kill a passing bicyclist. Now on almost every major street intersection panhandling, not just the ramps. Squatting anywhere and everywhere they can. Police give up trying to just move them from Point A to No Idea Where all the time. 2019: Governor Brown's rent control measures not nearly as comprehensive as VICE is implying here, Real Estate Lobby are still running good portions of the state and ALL of Portland City Hall. Housing sales have slowed. No one can afford to move here. They still move here, but realize they can't afford it. Ecomony has slowed because no one has any cash, they have to spend it all on rent. Condo/Apartment construction continues, only now the taxpayers are helping pay for construction without any promise of a payback in exchange for untrustworthy promises that they'll be "affordable" for a few years by the property developers. Measure 102, which in their desperation, Oregon voters passed by nearly 60%. What constitutes "affordable" remains unclear to the taxpayer. Property Lobby buying massive internet airtime to fight rent control measures in local media, and putting flyers on doors trying to gain popular support. Literally just took one off my door knob 20 minutes ago. Bubble set to burst again, but rent won't go down when it does

  4. 0:50 That awkward moment when I realized I knew exactly who Sarah Peachez is, but had no idea who Kevin Blatt is.

  5. I'm no fan of Sharia rule, but you're an idiot. Even as a catholic, I know that Allah still means God. And it's the same God, whether you use the term Allah, Jehova, or God. Betcha didn't know that Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet, did you? He's just not the #1 on their pecking order. When Arabs say it like this, it's no different from an American uttering "Oh my god!" or "Jesus!". It's an exclamation, not a Jihad. He might as well have said Holy Shit, because then you would've gotten it.

  6. Look, man, from a military mans perspective, veterans and servicemen alike among the NATO nations can appreciate the tactical brilliance of the Heer and Wehrmacht, and have admiration for the arsenal they fielded. You can respect the fighting power, but you're off your fucking nut if you start "seeing things their way". We have a fair number of old US vets who like to partake in Civil War clubs, and they are invariably old white guys who want to play Johnny Reb. And they will chew your ear off trying to convince you that the Civil War was about states rights and not slaves. They attract people looking for that racial validation. A handful might not parrot that line, but the subtext is constantly pushed in their little sub culture until they convert you. That's why I wouldn't join their alarmingly large club or absorb the newletters with their "historical facts" after being bombarded with it.

  7. Why is it everyone who has an opinion on what a fertile woman does with her body is either not fertile anymore or not female to begin with?

  8. Every single state in the country has an Air National Guard, most with more than 1 airbase, generally attached to your nearest airport. MSP Airbase is literally a straight shot through town down Hwy 55 from US Bank stadium.

  11. Mad Max, where are you when we need you?? I'm sure the Ozzies are no different in having 1%'er "bikies" (After the Gypsy Jokers patched over to the Mongols in the US, the Jokers patch is only really seen in Australia in it's original form), versus plenty of MC's like the Queensland Rebels: Older salty guys who aren't actually running meth. That Ironhead hardtail of Mick's is bloody GORGEOUS, btw.

  12. I had to wait 10 years for even an X-ray. First deployment in '03, didn't get it done til after the last deployment in '11. Nowadays I just deal with it on my own dime, and go from there.

  33.  @cyropower7808  I'm for a limit on the amount of gun. And we've gone way, way past what that limit should be with today's tacticool AR cosplay bros & threats culture. It's no coincidence that the more Gun dipshits get, the safer they feel making violent political threats against not just the government, but the unarmed. The amount of blood soaking our ground is directly proportional to the amount of firepower we sell off the shelf.

  34.  @cyropower7808  Agreed. But I also stand by my point that a Taurus Judge is for self defense, and a Remington 700 for hunting. Not an AR with a can, a Glock 17 with 30 round sticks, or a freakin' Barrett chambered in .50 or .338 Nobody in the US is fending off platoons of Viet Cong.

  35.  @cyropower7808  We aren't trained to use Burst or Auto as rifleman. That's the Automatic Rifleman's and Machine Gunner's job. We train to do controlled pairs to center mass. And an AR is still just an M-16/M-4 without the option we don't use anyways.

  38. Charlet: "She's going to take the kids, he's going to take the money, he's going to run off with a hot blonde." Ah, the lies Feminists tell everyone are always precious. Reality: "She's going to use the kids to take all the money and move in their new stepdad meal ticket she was fucking before the honeymoon was over, he's going to sleep on his best friends couch until HIS wife calls him a loser and kicks him out." There, fixed it for you.

  39. The Cycle of Vice comments. It never changes. White people being insane at home: The Trailer Trash weebs: VICE, so biased. Get back to your roots. I feel targeted. Brown people being insane abroad: The Trailer Trash weebs: Wow Vice, so awesome again. Stick it to them.

  45. In high school, we just called this gossip. Funny how it gets worse but more acceptable as an adult by simply renaming it. Like believing in fantasy as a kid makes you childish, but believing in Angels and Miracles when you're 50 makes you a 'good person of faith' You're just an adult who believes in magic. FYI: Christians are just brand snobs. Every saint who ever performed a miracle is, by their own definition, a witch. But their witch.

  50. Far-Right Extremists: Bible and Gun waving dominionist, Johnny Reb poseurs who still wish the Confederacy had won. They're not Americans. Stop speaking of them as such. They gave that up. Lincoln's greatest failing was showing their great grand daddies the mercy he did. Sherman should have kept marching.
