Are there any guns in your home . . . . .YMMV, FAR

. . . . . said the doctor to my bride when she had two of my kids in for their wellness visits today. What does that have to do with anything? And the doc didn't let up. My bride kept telling her that she doesn't need to answer that question; so the doc asked it multiple times throughout the visit.

The Blaze reports the news the way Fox News does -- use some truth to spread a slanted viewpoint. OTOH what is the political slant of Snopes?
Snopes has no accountability to anyone. They are not a source of news, and additionally, their fact-checking is often incorrect. Even in cases where they have been wrong, they rarely take steps to correct their misinformation.

Worse, the Mikkelsons (the husband and wife team that run Snopes) will often insert their own beliefs in their write-ups and present them as 'truth'.

This is not to say that Snopes does not have it's usefulness. However, if you rely on it to be an unbiased source of news, you are doing yourself a great injustice in two ways: 1. you are assuming that they are unbiased, and 2. you are assuming they are indeed a source of news.

Friends, there comes a time in every man's life when he has to look the potato of injustice right in the eye.

Blade is dead. Obamacare dried up his supply of serum.

You should know that you really suck at this. First you want me to compare two things that can't be compared. Then you take the one you don't like and compare it to something else you don't like. If we keep this up, tomorrow you'll be asking me to compare Snopes to potato.

I'm guessing the state (or Obamacare) requires the doc to ask the question. Annoyed

edit: apparently not required (unless your state requires), but they're not prohibited from asking, according to snopes [snopes.com].


nerfing wrong that that, IMO
They have been asking that question for many years, Way way way before Obama became President.
And if they ask they (should) counsel a person on safety because so many people and children are hurt by guns.
