  • As of July 2019, for those who have paid it out how has your dental implant cost compared to mine? Details below?

    In Southern California; all out of pocket

    0: Three Sets of X-Rays full facial $115 x 4 = $460 for overall process

    1: Surgical dental extraction required = $500 - general anesthesia (add. $500 if I wanted to be put to sleep).

    2: Bone grafting, $300 simple graft

    Wait 4 months

    3: Implant $2500

    Wait 4 months

    4: Abutment $450, Crown $850

    Total = $4,960 for one tooth (bottom molar in my case) Costs would be more if more grafting and additional procedures needed.

  • Is it shocking that some conservatives are so simple minded that they don't even care about details of Trump's politics?

    Trump has thus far not given any specifics on reaching his goals..other than his plans are YUGE! Then his Rah! Rah! speeches of telling White conservatives what they wanna hear.... I think its a combination of some of these generations acknowledging they are running out of time, the US as a whole is changing especially on overall demographics, kinda like what the folks in the 50's saw with the 60's generation changing things and this is an all out effort regardless of the specifics to try to push back the clock of change and conservatives see their great hope in Trump....

  • Call it straight up...why wasn t John McGraw, 78 arrested immediately after punching a black protester the cops were escorting out?

    I actually want Trump supporters to call it like they see it. Many claim they like straight talk...so do I

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/10/politics/donald-trum...

    "McGraw appears in the video to punch a black protester in the face as he was being escorted out of the venue with a group of protesters by a half-dozen police officers. The incident occurred during Trump s rally Wednesday night in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The department has also opened an internal investigation probing whether the officers in the video, who did not detain or arrest McGraw on site, should have done so, Swain said."

  • Is it hypocritical to argue against a second term president nominating a SC appointee when Reagan did it in 1987?

    "Reagan, who was in his second term, nominated Kennedy in November 1987. Kennedy was confirmed in February 1988. In November 1988, Reagan’s vice president George H.W. Bush won the presidency"

  • Should gun owners/purchasers become criminally liable for crimes and accidents that occur with their firearms?

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-tennessee-child-...

    Tennessee boy, 11, found guilty of murdering eight-year-old neighbor girl

    :"Then the boy retrieved his father's 12-gauge shotgun, shot the girl in the chest from the window, and then threw the weapon outside by the girl's body, authorities said"

    Is this not negligence on the father's behalf to properly secure and be a responsible steward of his own firearm?

  • Will Republicans ever stop the routine of demonizing Democrat Presidents?

    It seems to have started with President Carter and continues to this day and will likely continue regardless if its Hillary or Sanders.

    Will some intelligent Republican actually explain the routine and rationale?

    Help, I'm trying to identify a chocolate that resembles the Hershey's nugget?

    It's been probably more than 10 years since I've had one, it was a nugget sold in packs of 5, gold wrapped. It was filled with a chocolate/nut soft filling - loved them. For the longest time I can't recall what the name or brand was, I think Hershey's took their design since the Hershey nugget resembles very closely to the original. Anyone have ideas what item I'm referring to? Thanks for any help.

  • Were Mike Brown's fingerprints ever found on Officer Wilson's firearm?

    Still trying to look into the Grand Jury evidence; https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370519-gr... Does anyone know if fingerprints were ever confirmed on Officer Wilson's firearm?

    Here is a snippet of the testimony of Officer Wilson, "After being punched again, Wilson said, he considered reaching for his mace spray, but he was worried he’d get some of it in his own eyes, which would blind him, “and I would have been out of the game.” So he went for his gun, a Sig Sauer .40 pistol, which had twelve bullets in the magazine and one in the chamber, and said to Brown, “Get back or I am going to shoot you.”

    At this point, Wilson testified, Brown “grabs my gun, says, ‘You are too much of a pussy to shoot me.’ ” Brown then pushed the gun down toward Wilson’s thigh, the officer went on, and a pulling match ensued, during which Wilson twice tried to shoot the gun, but it didn’t go off. Eventually, it did, blowing out one of the windows and drawing blood from somewhere on Brown’s body. The gunfire startled both of them, Wilson said. Brown took a step back, and then looked up at him with “the most intense aggressive face. The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, that’s how angry he looked. He comes back towards me again with his hands up.”"

    I don't have any dog in this fight but I'd like to get a clearer image of facts as best I can given what information or lack of that the grand jury was provided.

  • Is this the usual pattern of Democratic voting?

    Lifelong Democrat party voter, I ve noticed over the course of my years that on every cycle, Democrats are traditionally very lazy and disinterested about voting when there is a Democratic president in office....we become very proactive and energized when it comes to trying to vote Republicans out of office in general. Sad observation because this is what has played out with Obama as well as with Clinton when it comes to voting during the midterms. I think it has to do with our more laid back overall personality in comparison to more conservative, type A personalities that dominate Republican voters, thats to say Republicans seem to have an inherent push to always show up to vote regardless of who is in office. Democrats need to become angry to show up and that usually means a Republican controlled Presidency or full Congress. So I guess a Republican controlled Congress is yet another affirmation of the Democrat malaise...

  • Is House Majority Leader Boehner halting the government?

    direct quote from a recent interview with George Stephenopoulos;

    STEPHANOPOULOS: But Mr. Speaker, he says -- and he said it publicly on many occasions, that you came to him back in July and offered to pass a clean government funding resolution, no Obamacare amendments, that was $70 billion below what the Senate wanted. They accepted it. And now, you've reneged on that offer.

    BOEHNER: No, clearly there was a conversation about doing this.

    STEPHANOPOULOS: Several conversations.

    BOEHNER: Several. But--

    STEPHANOPOULOS: And you offered a clean resolution.

    BOEHNER: But I and my members decided the threat of Obamacare and what was happening was so important that it was time for us to take a stand. And we took a stand.

    http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/week-transcript-hou...

    "George, we've spent more than what we've brought in for 55 of the last 60 years. This year, the federal government will have more revenue than any year in the history of our country, and yet we're still going to have a nearly $700 billion budget deficit. We're squandering the future for our kids and our grandkids, by not dealing with this problem."

    Interesting, so after 55 of the last 60 years of this problem...now is all the sudden the time to halt the government and address it??? ...what timing. Interesting point, "the federal government will have more revenue than any year in the history of our country" - someone must be doing something right for that to happen.

    Take away point from that interview..."BOEHNER: But I and my members decided the threat of Obamacare and what was happening was so important that it was time for us to take a stand. And we took a stand."

  • Did Anderson Silva throw the fight?

    Take a look at this prefight interview....

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedd...

    I'm guessing he was given a proposition to toss the fight for a career ending payday (outside $$$)

    If we could only follow the $$ I'm guessing some folks on the inside knew what was up.

    The disrespect he showed Chris Weidman was very uncharacteristic of him, yes the clowning was pretty awful and led to this knockout but I'm guessing that Anderson Silva made a deal with the devil so to speak and felt disgusted by it....so that people would believe its just his ********* and antics that cost him the fight when the real reason might be the fact that this fight was fixed and this is the best cover for it.....

  • Be honest are gun clips of more than 10 rounds of any use to hunting?

    No animal as far as I know, no animal will stick around long enough if not dead after you've emptied a 10 round clip..period.

    Unless someone is one of the worst shots on the chart a max 10 round clip is more than enough.

    Anything above 10 round clips is meant for something other than hunting...

    There is a segment of the American population that believes in eventual armegeddon that requires them to arm themselves to become self made armies...but for the more realistic populace we know the better.
