i bought that. turned out to be a lemon. you can't adjust the skate or tracking pressure at all. saving up for the higher end model atm, and you can adjust skate and pressure on that one, so i'd say go for the at lp-120 if you're serious about listening to vinyl.
edit: also, the proper name for "33s" is 12" or lps. 7" are 45s or eps.

The amendments were made in stone. The founding fathers set them up because they knew the government would grow and try to screw over their people. Without this, Private Schmo would live in your haus, The cops could break in whenever, Guns would be illegal, They could taze you in the nose for lokking at somone funny, and much more.

let me guess: you support bitcoins?

Topic 2
People should be allowed to own Auto weapons and not require a Concealed Carry.
That bad guys break the rules, That just leaves us helpless and at the mercy of the guy w/ the gun. Also, The 2nd never said anything about Gun Control.

the amendments can be changed. if they wanted it to be written in stone, they would've written it in stone. people are allowed to own automatics, they just need to go through a stuffload of licensing first

I think Civilians should be allowed to buy automatic guns, because of the second amendment. However, people should have to have extra training for them, and a personality test.

that's already in place. you can apply for a class 3 license, but it's an absolute bitch to get, which should deter most people who want to use it for bad bad things.

Uh... I'm changing the topic now. Since nobody suggested anything it'll be gun laws.

as long as it's heavily regulated. background checks, mag caps, no automatics, the works

We shouldn't be wasting even more money.

Except everyone needs roads to function with day to day life. "Rehabilitated" psychopaths, not so much.

norway's almost going broke. america is broke.

Therapy is only worth the cost if the murderer gets released from prison. Even then, not a lot of people would be willing to hire him. However, if the criminal's family is willing to pay for it instead of the government, I am OKAY with it.

Also, as Qwepir said, the murderer probably killed a "productive member" of society who was probably more productive than the criminal will ever be.

The only reason Norway has less criminals is because they give the citizens a forget ton of welfare including the rehabilitation, and it's actually causing them to go broke.

Except most good Americans pay for their medical insurance and doctors instead of letting the government pay for it.

and america's government isn't broke right now?

whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
it seems here like companies have to prove that they're innocent to the government, rather than have the government have to prove that they're guilty
and then the company would have to waste their time and money for a bullstuff claim

companies in america don't exactly have a good track record at the moment, so

Rehabilitation means nothing. Something in the human brain made them cross the line and kill somebody, I wouldn't want to risk the person still being dangerous and working with my clean employees. It'd be like bringing a ticking timebomb in your place of business with all your friends and workers there.

except the thing in their brain that caused that has been dealt with. they're fine now. if they were legitimately mentally disabled, they wouldn't have been released.

Yeah, I'm handicapped for not wanting a murderer working with my employees.

if they're rehabilitated, then you are handicapped for not hiring them based on that.

One execution costs $20,000
One year of prison costs $15,000-$18,000 for one inmate.
Rehabilitating a prisoner costs $20,000

The cheapest answer to this situation is the death sentence.

it's not about the cheapest answer, it's about the right thing to do
