The National Political Conventions by Words
This word map pretty much tells you where the two parties are coming from. On the right you have mostly virtues and ideals and on the left you essentially have a menu of services.
Well there's getting getting every single detail wrong and then there's beclowning yourself while giving an editorial BJ to your president-boyfriend like Andrew Sullivan back in 2007:
Consider this hypothetical. It's November 2008. A young Pakistani Muslim is watching television and sees that this man-Barack Hussein Obama-is the new face of America. In one simple image, America's soft power has been ratcheted up not a notch, but a logarithm. A brown-skinned man whose father was an African, who grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, who attended a majority-Muslim school as a boy, is now the alleged enemy. If you wanted the crudest but most effective weapon against the demonization of America that fuels Islamist ideology, Obama's face gets close. It proves them wrong about what America is in ways no words can.
Romney Being Left Out in the Cold?
So Romney has been the GOP nominee for three weeks but he has yet to receive a single intelligence briefing that's offered to each party's nominee.
Given the gravity of issues facing a prospective commander-in-chief, it has become customary for each party's nominee to receive regular intelligence updates during the run-up to the fall election. In 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama received his first briefing just five days after accepting the Democratic nomination.
So why hasn't Mitt Romney received the same courtesy? According to a spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence, it's a matter of "logistics."
Well 'logistics' and a lack of willingness on the Obama administration's side.
Today, for example, Governor Romney is campaigning in Fairfax, Virginia, barely 16 miles from ODNI headquarters in nearby McLean. Yeah, traffic on the Beltway or I-66 can be a bear, but it wouldn't be that difficult to dispatch a briefer to Mr. Romney's hotel and allow him to review a hard-copy or computer version of the daily summary.
...Truth be told, the "logistics" of getting intel information to Governor Romney are pretty simple. It's really a matter of professional courtesy, one that was readily extended to candidate Obama in 2008, but one that has been denied to Mr. Romney this time around. It's a subject you'd think the mainstream media might be interested in, but they're too busy trying to stretch the Libya coverage theme into multiple news cycles.
Why So Many Green on Blue Attacks in Afghanistan?
Short answer: the Afghanis are a twitchy, murderous lot. Plus you have the Taliban causing trouble.
While the shooting of NATO troops makes the headlines, what is largely ignored is that even more Afghan police and soldiers are killed the same way. Afghanistan is a violent place, always has been, and it's difficult to eliminate the tendency towards trigger-happy temper tantrums with only a few months training. So far this year, 13 percent of NATO combat deaths have been because of these attacks. That's twice the rate last year. The Afghan government blames foreign spies but admits that a lot of the bribing and recruiting of Afghan soldiers and police for this is done by Afghan Taliban.
The U.S. believes that only a quarter of the deaths are orchestrated by the Taliban, the rest are the result of anger management, cultural differences, and mental health issues among Afghan personnel working with NATO forces. American commanders also note that more of these attacks are directed at fellow Afghans in uniform. Fewer of these are instigated by the Taliban. Instead, the Taliban likes to concentrate on intimidating and assassinating military and police commanders. This is an ancient Afghan custom and the reason why Afghan leaders take it for granted that they always need lots of bodyguards, usually men from their own extended family. Bribing bodyguards is another old Afghan custom.
From Thrash Metal to Watchmaking
Dan Spitz was the lead guitarist for the heavy metal band Anthrax for over 12 years. And then he quit to do what he was really interested in...making watches.
John Reardon: You suddenly lost interest in playing guitar in 1995, ripped the stereo equipment from your cars and house, and gave all your guitars to Hard Rock Café. Why the sudden lost of interest in music and how sudden was your awakening to the call of watchmaking?
Dan Spitz: It was kind of a long process. I had been living on a tour bus since I was 14 years old and played in bands with others of equal skill set, but they were much older than I was as a young musician. I excelled at what I was doing. and Anthrax soon hit and was playing sold out coliseums for years. By the time '95 rolled around, I was the first one in the band to have children and I missed then while I was on the road. We would do an album and tour for years at a time, and then start the cycle over again - time at home was not there. ...At the end of the day, I just needed a break. I have extreme OCD, I do things either full-on or full-off, and I like to do things that others have not done before. I need that drive and that ambition. That's why I decided to commit to learning the higher levels of watchmaking beyond what I did as a kid.
And apparently he's not the only rocker with a passion for watches:
Have you come across other artists in the music world with a comparable passion for mechanical timepieces?
There are collectors, but I am the only one who has gone fully overboard. There's Eric Singer, the drummer from Kiss, a very old friend of mine with an insane collection. He's one of the craziest watch collectors in music.
This satire board game, Public Assistance, is from 1980 but sadly these days it's more like the board game version of the popular live show.
THE GUN IS GOOD!
THE PENIS IS EVIL!
Okay I've seen the movie but after watching the trailer for it I'm wondering if I missed a middle hour or something.
Yahoo group. That is all.
And my Twitter spew.

I always wanted somebody to splice together some of the wacky Connery films, like Zardoz, to create a fake crazy Bond trailer.
I also think you could make a really funny Batman trailer by splicing together all of the "well dressed = Bruce Wayne" Christian Bale scenes from American Psycho, Shaft (where he says horribly racist things), and All the Little Animals (he plays a retard).

If you want to see a really funny Sean Connery film, he made one in the 80's called "Wrong is Right", where he plays some confused news reporter.
Actually pretty funny. Robert Conrad had a great line near the end when he was talking to the President, when the President was trying to solve an international crisis, about some Quaddafi like guy getting nukes, that now was the time to "Try reality". To which Conrad says," Don't try reality, you won't like it!"

Being a Democrat isn't about facts. They ignore important facts on a daily basis. It certainly isn't about policy, because the party shifts policies like an ADD teenager playing Warcraft. Being a Democrat is about identity.
If you're a Democrat, you are Smart and Good. All the Smart and Good people on television tell you so. All the Dumb and Evil people on television are identified as Republicans, because only Democrats are Smart and Good. When people say Democrats aren't Smart or Good, they are wrong, because if you disagree with the Democrats you can't be Smart or Good, which means you are Dumb and Evil.
Since Democrats have no faith, no patriotism, and no real sense of personal identity, they need to have the Party constantly telling them how Smart and Good they are. If they look around at their dysfunctional lives, they might wonder if there's something wrong, but the Party is always there to tell them that any problems they have are the fault of Dumb and Evil people.
They can't admit that the Party is wrong, because that shakes the very core of their identity. If the Party is wrong, that means it isn't Smart and Good, which means they aren't Smart and Good for supporting the Party.
Democrat politicians and campaign managers have deliberately crippled the minds and souls of half the nation.

You can't visit, but it's set down in a steep valley and you can drive along the hill to the south--and get out of your car to look almost straight down hundreds of feet at the lake and grounds. The house itself is hidden by trees, but the whole setting of the estate is impressive

Even if they have to steal the election.
Giving Romney intelligence briefings would be irrelevant.
Also, since President Fucktard doesnt bother with his daily intelligence briefing, we dont actually do them anymore and the logistics of generating these unused unread archaic and totally not interesting intelligence briefings just for Mitt Romney is a waste of money and time....so

With regards to the green-on-blue attacks, Mark Steyn says it best quoting from the first book of the Flashman series:
In essence:
"This I will say for the Afghan – he is a treacherous, evil brute when he wants to be, but while he is your friend he is a first-rate fellow. The point is, you must judge to a second when he is going to cease to be friendly. There is seldom any warning."
And this is from over 160 years ago. The Afghanis haven't changed much.

If you want to learn something about fighting the "Afghans", there is a good book that was written some years ago by Steven Pressfield called "The Afghan Campaign", which was about Alexander's campaign to "pacify" what is now Afghanistan, as told through the first person of a young Macedonian soldier out from Macedonia as relief for troops rotated home.
It's very depressing.
I gave it to a friend of mine, a retired Army major, and he really liked it but hasn't given it back to me. Those Army guys, I tell you.

I used to catch a lot of crap from friends when they were going to movies and I would say, "nah.....too much gore and violence." They'd say, "it's in all the good movies -- you'll get used to it."
Which, of course, misses the point. I don't want to be "used to it". I don't want it to be "the new normal." I want it to inspire disgust and rage because I want to work toward a world where disgust and rage is the normal reaction to violence and gore. And I want to continue having adrenaline overloads when I see such horror because I want "fight or flight" to be top-drawer, undimmed by too-frequent stimulation.

Michael Durant, who was on the ground (shot down Blackhawk) and injured, was the only one who was actually saved when Shughart and Gordon came down to give cover fire. It was estimated that between the two of them, that they killed or shot upwards of 300 Somalis that day, before they ran out of ammo.
Durant had a pistol and was crippled up with a broken back from the crash, but remembers being clubbed into unconsciouness with the arm of either Shughart or Gordon that had been ripped off their dead bodies.

I think they are hoping they can raise the upper tax brackets and pray to their magical economic god that things will turn around. Eventually they will have to raise the middle and lower tax brackets, but they will avoid it at all costs. I could see them even asking 50% from the top bracket if things get bad enough.

The amazing thing about "Blackhawk Down" is that there were complete taped transcripts of all the communications that day that Mark Bowden could draw from to write the book. And there was NEVER an after action report written by the Army about what happened that day. After Bowden wrote his book some years afterward, he was invited to several Army posts to speak to officers and NCO's and tell them what happened that day.
It's like it would have disappeard down the memory hole if Bowden hadn't written a book about it.
Clinton. That was his doing. Not paying attention and then running away when things got ugly. And was roundly mocked about by......Osama bin Laden.
That was another "gutsy call". Just think if Clinton had decided to take a stand in Mogadishu and not run away, and had nabbed bin Laden when the Sudanese had offered him up.
He is a vile and cowardly man. I have nothing good to say about him.

I didn't want to become accustomed to fictional portrayals of atrocities so that my responses to actual atrocities would be dulled. Self-appointed "gatekeepers" who pump movie slashfests and censor 9/11's "falling man" are trying to override honorable and genuine shock, disgust, and righteous anger in favor of some grotesque "entertainment value".

I saw the original Banner a couple of weeks ago. Pretty much the only thing in that whole museum worth seeing. The rest was all about how terrible the old dead white guys were, and how hard all the non-white people have had it ever since 1776, or even earlier.
Still, the Star-Spangled Banner display is fuckin' awesome.

I waited, like a fool, to have those bad boys removed until I was way into middle age. OMG. The doc put me under but he was finishing up just as I was coming around and I will never forget the crushing crunching sound of those big extractors. Lordy. And of course the pain and swelling afterwards. But wait don't let me forget to mention "dry sockets". Vengeance thy name is dry sockets. Moral of the story..if your dentist says the wisdom teeth must go, do it and don't put it off.
Posted by: Tuna at September 13, 2012 11:10 PM (M/TDA)
Another part of my story was during the follow-up appointment. I had a new young dental assistant who was to show me how to flush out the sockets so they wouldn't get "dry sockets" or another infection. She was kind of cute, and I was trying to be good, but she jabbed into the sore gum with the plastic tip of the syringe, there was a sharp wave of pain.....and I wasn't there anymore.
Couple of minutes later, I'm starting to reboot and I hear, "there, there.....are you ok? Can I get you some water? Feeling alright?" and open my eyes to find.......nobody. The entire staff of the dental office was over on the other side of the room surrounding the staffer who had jabbed me.

Clinton and the GDed pentagon f'ed up. They should have landed an MEU, set up the artillery, and then took about 10 blocks of Mogadishu, evacuated the women and children. Pull the troops back to the edge and turn it into an artillery kill box. Anything inside those blocks would be fair game. The folks in Black Hawk down killed possibly 5000 fighters. If we would have killed another 5000, and DEFEATED THEM, the remainder would have been easier to control. Maybe Somalia would not have been a raging gang war killing too may africans for 20 years.
That place continued to be a shithole, for over 20 years. But I heard they finally elected a president for Somalia. Maybe enough people have killed and died; and they can actually get down to trying to live.

Keep close eye on all Polls closely...New Front to Hide Truth:
Oversampling Females.....Oversampling 18 to 30 year olds!
Since in the past it has become easy to see the blantant oversample of Dems the pollsters are now hiding there way of skewing samples. When you see breakdown with plus 6-10 Dems you dismiss right away...so pollsters had to come up with another ploy: Oversampling women and oversampling the youth:
PPP Ohio Poll: 60 percent female/40 percent male
Survey USA Florida Poll....Went from 15 percent 18 to 30 yr olds in 2008 in their recent poll that age group was increased to 24 percent even though no increase in that age groups registration.
NBC Polls....Undersampling Indies, Oversampling females and look at age demos.
The new meme...decrease male voters (which favor Romney) and decrease olde voters (which favor Romney).
They cannot skew plus 6-10 Dem without being dismissed so they have turned to increasing youth vote (which will be smaller this time than 200
...wonder why Obama is visiting all those College Campuses??? and amazing NBC and others increase youth representation!!
War on Women...nice meme right everyone! Dems line all the time!
Well lookie here polls from PPP with females 55 to 60 percent of the voting and men 40-45 percent.
In 2008 it was 51/52 to 48/49 in Female to Male...where are the extra 4 -9 percent of women coming from and what happened to that same percentage of Men...I guess the men just died off or disappeared?
I guess the men disappear as do older voters when you have follow line Race is over and moving to Obama AMAZINGLY with his two best groups being oversampled!!
Not one poll is taking 2010 into account...and every poll is manipulating the 2008 numbers with youth and women!! Unbelievable
Example:
NBC today has Obama up 7 in Ohio and 5 in Florida and Va....go check out the female numbers, independents, age groups and more dems?
Ras: Ohio 48/47 Obama
ARG: Ohio 48/47 Obama (even they oversample youth here)
Does Ras and ARG even closely look like NBC? And NBC used dates when Obama still had his bounce!
Go over to American Pulse and look at their polls taken on Sept 12....you will be amazed at the numbers....those are numbers you would expect to see with Romney and Obama...And much more in line with Demographics today!
Be careful of any poll now without checking age/gender breakdown...that is new MSM/Liberal Polls way of hiding or slanting!

I have zero sympathy for any of the sellers because I think they are lazy, stupid, and without class. So good on Rick for getting their stuff at a cheap price.

His officer number 10766 or 16766

I don't think you can be dulled to real horror. We've all see violence in the movies, with F/X and blood splatter. But on September 11 I forced myself to watch the raw videos of bodies hitting the ground and the shock of people seeing the 2nd plane. The sick feeling and the anger hasn't dimished at all for me.
Posted by: Billy Quizboy at September 13, 2012 11:21 PM (FEzSe)
There's intellectual horror, and instinctive horror. Wounds, screaming, eviscerations.....these things have "built-in" horror that infants will react to. Seeing a plane fly behind a building, and seeing fire and debris erupt from the other side is another thing entirely. You cannot be dulled from the horror of knowing that people in that plane and building are dead -- and you could have been in that plane whenever you flew, or in that building whenever you were downtown. That's just being awake.
But thousands of years of evolution have designed the instinctual response to horrific events.....and it's probably a good "first cut" on Best Practices. When a scorched piece of an arm lands at your feet, your mind might say, "cheerio, it's best to find another place to loiter" while your gut says "GTFO, now!" and your muscles can run faster and farther than you have in the last two decades.
My point is that allowing CGI and special effects to dull your gut reaction for the "pleasure" of letting filmmakers cause you to squirm is, in my view, not even remotely worth it. I'll put my money on the side of thousands of generations who lived to raise another generation.

>>>I was. I hardly said a word, aside from answering boilerplate yes/no questions about whether I was a soldier or some other inane thing he said he was required to ask by law, I said zilch. I never admitted guilt, even after he told me what the purported (bullshit) violations were.
>>> I've seen the Youtube video about saying nothing to the police! I recommend it to everyone.
Next step, contest the ticket with the magistrate. Ask for at least 1-2 continuances, to make it as long as it can--the cop will remember you less and less.
>>>I will check out how to do this.
Finally, go to the hearing with the magistrate. Before the hearing, if the cop shows up, ask the cop if you can agree to a settlement (usually for less points on you license, ie, a lesser speed) in agreeing to plead guilty.
>>>It's 2 1/2 hrs away. The points stuff won't affect me, as long as I never go to Vermont again. So I'm wondering whether there's any upside for me to go up there.
If that doesn't work, go to the magistrate with the same offer.
>>>I don't think it will work with the officer. After all, he's a fucking crook! He gave me the maximum penalty.
Finally, and I don't know how it works, if you are found guilty, appeal to the county courthouse and go through the same steps again.
>>>Since the speed trap has been around for quite some time (judging from the comments at the website), it may be a case of "corruption all the way down."
I have learned this process through long experience with a Porsche 911 in PA.
>>>does the lack of a signature help in any way? Ditto the lack of a legible name, or organization?
>>>Don't I have a right to confront my accuser? How can I do that if I don't know who he is??? Can I demand that he be present?

and interviews for both Presidential candidates, who are you more likely to trust to honor
their campaign pledges, work to implement their policies and solve the problems of our
country (taxes, the economy, national security and political gridlock)?
(I am more likely to trust President Obama): 45.10%
(I am more likely to trust Mitt Romney): 42.12%
(I am undecided on which candidate to trust): 4.01%
(I don't trust either candidate): 8.78%
Question #3:
Since the Republican National Convention, do you believe that you have a clear
understanding of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan plans to lead America and solve the
problems of our country (taxes, the economy, national security and political gridlock)?
(Yes): 51.15%
(No): 37.48%
(You are unsure): 11.37%

***********
A great Playboy cartoon from some 30 years ago showed a very satisfied dentist deeply nestled between the spread legs of a voluptuous female in his chair.
She said, "You're right, Doctor. I didn't feel a thing!"
I gave a framed copy to a dentist friend.
But for some reason he didn't hang it up in his office.....

There are a lot of tricks they can use. When you call for a poll matters more than who: if you call when most people are at work, you'll often get people who don't work and hence are more likely to support handouts. If you call on certain days like Sunday, you won't get people who are at church. If you call certain areas you're more likely to get Democrats than Republicans, etc.
It all adds up, and even otherwise more reliable polling organizations like Gallup do it, too. They're a business. Their job is to provide polls for money. Their reputation isn't on the line until late October, so why not do what they're asked to do now?
And polling isn't about information now, its about controlling the narrative. If you can demoralize and quiet enthusiasm in your opponents through polling that shows what you know isn't true, maybe you can push things enough that it starts to be true. You can see it in the articles by right-leaning organizations: "Why is Obama doing so well????"
Answer: he's not but you're relying on intelligence gathered for you BY YOUR ENEMY. That's just idiotic.

"The response rate for this survey was 2.27%."
The response rate for junk mail is around 1%. In essence, the poll is based on a completely self selected sample at that paltry level of response.
Polling response rates should be much higher

409, Chris excellent points....the campaign to demoralize is in full effect! It just amazes me the other day the Demoralizers were citing Rasmussen...well that last couple days Ras has caught the trend back to Romney and there is no mention of Ras again....he usually catches trends faster...the Fox Poll where Obama was up 48/43 used dates from Obama Bounce after Convention and they had 41 percent Dems...where in God's Name did that number come from? The Dems will be lucky to have 37 percent let alone 41....and they undersampled Indies as well and men....how surprising!
As Dick Morris mentioned almost all of the polls today are using the 2008 model and adding youth votes that are higher and females and blacks....In fact...Dick mentioned the polls are sampling blacks at 13 percent...yet historically they are 11 percent. The enthusiasm among blacks this year portends turn out of 10-11 percent...yet pollsters are using 13 percent? Come on!
And when right wing outfits use Enemy Numbers you are so right...it is pathetic....and they question them....did you notice how many of them are Washington Insiders....Repubs that like being in the minority and have no clue what real conservatives and Repub think. They just buy the Dem Kool-aid!

Posted by: Fresh at September 13, 2012 11:52 PM (O7ksG)
Those ads were placed by Obama last month. In radio and television you have to give political candidates your lowest rate that any advertiser gets charged. It sucks that you have to boot off advertisers that pay for ads for 10 months a year, then boot them off in September and October, but thems the rules. However, you do get to demand cash in advance from the candidates because you can qualify them as seasonal advertisers. So, Romney didn't have General Election funds until about 2 weeks ago, so they have now just begun their ad buys for the next 50+ days. Obama's ads are ones he bought last month using his Primary Campaign money.
Long story short, in about 2 weeks we will see tons of Romney and Obama ads, yeah.

OK, even if it's just for Robert....
Tylenol (acetaminophen or paracetamol) is legal only because "the fix is in" with Johnson & Johnson (who own the Tylenol name). It has the smallest difference between a minimally effective dose and "LD50" (Lethal Dose -- 50%.....the dose at which half of the recipients perish) of any over-the-counter medication.
To quote from Wikipedia: "Paracetamol hepatotoxicity is, by far, the most common cause of acute liver failure in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Toxicity of paracetamol arises often due to its quinone metabolite. Paracetamol overdose results in more calls to poison control centers in the US than overdose of any other pharmacological substance. Signs and symptoms of paracetamol toxicity may initially be absent or vague. Untreated overdose can lead to liver failure and death within days."
Read that again -- "by far" the most *common* cause of acute liver failure in two countries where it is available over-the-counter. Signs vague, but death within days if not heeded. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetaminophen ]
And, to compound this, it's in everything! You can OD by taking Robitussin Night Time, Nyquil Cold and Flu, Alka-Seltzer Cold and Flu, and Percocet. See any acetaminophen in there? And God help you if you have more than three alcoholic drinks or continue this behavior over more than one day!
Acetaminophen is probably the most dangerous legal drug out there. But you won't hear it from our government.

It was robo polled though, which implies a narrow time frame for the sample, huge discarding of people that weren't home/didn't answer phone. That decreases accuracy dramatically to the point where even when you apply corrective factors, you're just correcting a garbage sample that too noisy and skewed.
A good poll, with humans calling, at rotating times, is far more expensive to generate, so it isn't done as often, but it will give response rates large enough to reduce the chances of self selected sample syndrome.
My SWAG after reading their methodology is this poll isn't much more accurate than online polls that have self selected samples.
These guys are producing entertainment, not valid statistics.

So chasing a handful of Tylenol with a few mint juleps...bad idea?
Posted by: Robert at September 14, 2012 12:29 AM (LUnTP)
Depends on how bad you want to see that next birthday.
Ibuprofen, by contrast, is wildly safe. You can take it in handfuls and the most likely result is nausea. Tylenol will kill your liver and leave you in the walking dead in a week. If the FDA were worth anything at all, it'd be prescription only.

As pointed out both were awarded (posthumously) the MOH. In addition the Navy named ships after them (USNS Gordon & USNS Shughart).
At the MOH award ceremony Shughart's father refused to shake President Clinton's hand and made several critical remarks about Clinton's "ability to lead".
When all this went down in Somalia, I was stationed in Korea and met Les Aspin (DEFSEC at the time) when he was there for a conference. I hope that fat fuck is rotting in hell for not allowing armor to be used in Mogadishu which resulted in the "Blackhawk Down" fiasco.

well, it may have the smallest therapeutic ratio, but it's still a massively huge therapeutic ratio.
the typical dose of apap is 325mg. the dose at which it becomes dangerous is much higher than that, at around 6000mg (nearly 20 times the typical dose).
there's slightly more danger when it comes to taking it all day long, because it is not clearly rapidly by the liver, and the dosage of 6000mg is actually dangerous even within the space of one day. it is conceivable, i guess, that someone take nearly 20 doses in a single day if in abject pain, but it seems ridiculous, and of course the danger-figure 6000mg is still much lower than the ld50, which i have hear quoted as high as 14500mg.
still, *most* of the liver-toxic deaths come from either 1) intentional overdoses, or 2) overdose of narcotic pain formulations containing APAP (i.e., druggies).
the druggie situations raise some questions about government policy...the reason the government likes apap so much is that it can be mixed with narcotic pain medication to make those formulations lethal to abuse in high quantity. not that i have too much sympathy for opioid junkies, but that's a pretty sinister "health-services" policy...put a chemical that destroys the liver... over something like four very painful days...inside of narcotic pain pills to punish the addicts who take too many to try to get really high...

Read it and weep: "While generally safe for use at recommended doses (1,000 mg per single dose and up to 4,000 mg per day for adults), acute overdoses of paracetamol can cause potentially fatal liver damage and, in rare individuals, a normal dose can do the same; the risk is heightened by alcohol consumption. Paracetamol toxicity is the foremost cause of acute liver failure in the Western world, and accounts for most drug overdoses in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetaminophen.
Let's just repeat a bit for emphasis: "acute overdoses of paracetamol can cause potentially fatal liver damage and, in rare individuals, a normal dose can do the same", and another: "Paracetamol toxicity is the foremost cause of acute liver failure in the Western world". This isn't "meth usage causes symptoms of usage of meth"; this is: "widely advertised 'safe drug' kills people."

You can get non-corrosive ammo, but there's no reason *not* to clean the barrel and the action after each trip to the range anyways.
The only other consideration is that the 7.62x54 is a big, loud round, with lots of kick, so be prepared. If you are totally new to firearms, you might want to consider something smaller.

I wouldn't buy the Nagant unless whoever was selling it would stand behind it being in ready-to-fire condition. And it may not stay in that condition for long. YMMV.
If you just want something to just blast the hell out of targets in your backyard while you build your gun handling skills, a new .22LR rifle should be almost as cheap, and the ammo is *way* cheaper. Any shooter should have one in their arsenal. Especially if they have what can pass for a range in their backyard.
Beyond that, there are too many options for what you might need to use a gun for, and what the right gun may be. And you'll rarely get two gun nuts to agree on any of them. Mostly you need to figure out what works for you by, gathering data and opinions, trying other people's guns when you can, and seeing what's out there.
As far as the shooting noise spooking your local critters- one of the ranges I shoot at often has deer and turkeys wander down to the edge of the firing lanes, or behind the target berms. They didn't seem very concerned by the audio equivalent of downtown Damascus that our shooters were producing.

Surprised the JEF's speech wasn't in the shape of a big letter "I".
