As someone who has trained with it, I agree. They suck. Constant stoppages due to the low power of the round not cycling the pistol properly.

Fair point. The first response from my friends/family was "that's so cruel and gross! Why would they do that?" which set my hackles up for posting it here I guess.

So why is that person actually a Nazi. Like, I see a ton of crap about how terrible they are, but very little explaining it.

quote:

Le Pen’s message is in many ways reminiscent of that of other far-right populists in Europe: She wants to pull France out of the European Union, NATO, and the euro common currency market. She wants to close the French borders to immigration — legal as well as undocumented — and direct the bulk of government-funded welfare programs (including schools and medical treatment) toward French citizens. She speaks of the threat of “Islamic fundamentalism” and calls the election a “choice of civilization.” France, for Le Pen, is for the French.

To that end she is also, distinctly, French: She extols the virtues of militant secularism that has defined the French state since the early 20th century, and has proposed banning all religious headwear — including the Muslim hijab, the Jewish kippah, and the Sikh turban — in public spaces.

"What is at stake in this election,” she announced at her opening campaign event in Lyon back in February, “is whether France can still be a free nation. The divide is no longer between the left and right, but between patriots and globalists!"

Ah, that clarifies it a little bit then. Seeing Nazi thrown around so commonly has made it seem pretty limp now, so

Jedit posted:

Putting it in simpler terms: Marine le Pen occupies the same position on the political compass as Hitler, said she wanted to strip citizenship from French Jews, and has denied French involvement in the Holocaust. And that's before you get into the membership of Front Nationale, where you can't throw a rock in a meeting of the inner circle without hitting someone who has expressed admiration for Hitler and it bouncing off to hit another one. It's absolutely not hyperbolic to describe her as a Nazi.

Cheers.

Just wish my FB buddies were a little less defensive about this stuff. I'm asking what makes this person a Nazi because I genuinely don't know much about them. Why is that such a weird thing for people.

I'm just going to go off the cuff with what I learned from the history channel before they became the hitler channel and then the dumb idiot channel but;

It's a fortification (probably NA, civil war era or maybe even revolutionary era) and the pointy bits are an attempt to use geometry to deflect cannon shots. Pretty futile in the end but it works in theory.

All the history nerds dogpile me now with theh specifics (please)

Smaller scale badassery, but my high school astronomy teacher is going to be hiking, kayaking, and swimming 180 miles from Sanford to Jacksonville over spring break to show the path of a raindrop as it makes its way to the Atlantic.

In 2010, he built a contraption to ride his racing bike in his classroom and rode for 7 hours straight (stopping only to go to the bathroom) to raise money for the American Diabetes Association and talk about the physics of bicycling. He also likes to end the school year for his class by setting up a DJ booth with lasers transmitting sound.
