I LOVE THAT SONG!!!! "I know, I know it's serious..." ah Morrisey... My vote: The Final Cut, Pink Floyd -the artist formerly known as sinker

why the hell would you want THAT??? of course, sometimes my wife's gas is like a daisy cutter bomb... when she gets that look, EVERYBODY RUNS!!!! -the artist formerly known as sinker

I responded to a post with the line (a paraphrase) 'how do you know I am not just paranoid all the time?" from sinker. He has since told me that is not true about him*** well, ok, it's a LITTLE bit true... NO IT ISN'T, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?!?!?!?!?! time for a med adjustment perhaps... -the artist formerly known as sinker

gotcha. -the artist formerly known as sinker

I agree... if it were real, I'd have loved to have seen the resulting crash landing! -the artist formerly known as sinker

I don't recall him ever saying that he didn't feel safe whenever he didn't have a firearm on him. Funny. Neither did I. See how you like to jump to conclusions too? Easy to do when you assume something is implied on the Internet. It is inferred from your post.... (copied below for your convenience) emphasis mine. -the artist formerly known as sinker

i think you're right... the shadow on the jump looks weird. -the artist formerly known as sinker

It appears to me you have a little misconception about why I and others choose to carry. First, I don't sleep w/ one under the pillow. Not safe. Second, I don't carry a gun to "feel safe." I carry a gun to stack odds more in my favor in the unlikely event of an assault/mugging/etc. I am the father of 4 kids. My wife has a chronic disease that will eventually leave her disabled and unable to work. That leaves me as the sole provider. It is my responsibility to protect myself, my kids, and my wife from harm, insofar as I am able, be it natural (so we have a nice brick home w/ a storm shelter, emergency provisions, storm radio, etc.), or predatorial, i.e. thugs, rabid dogs, etc. I have concluded that a handgun is the most proficient means of protecting me and my family from criminals. That doesn't make me paranoid, that makes me prepared. I'm not looking for something bad to happen to me or my family, but I'm prepared should it happen. In a situation involving a mugger, I bet there are more people who DIDN'T have a gun who said "dammit, I wish I had a gun" than those who ARE armed and said "damn, I wish I would've left this at home." (and yes, I'm sure there are those who had a gun that got taken away and used against them by the thug, but that's more rare...) -the artist formerly known as sinker

oh shit is right... just imagine his expression under that helmet. is a real photo? looks it to me... -the artist formerly known as sinker

i just don't think i could poop in a place like that... -the artist formerly known as sinker

Ugh. Now there you go again, Prof, jumping to unwarranted conclusions. How do you know i'm not just paranoid inspite of my neighborhoods being one of the safest where I live? I sleep w/ some form of weapon, usually a gun, close by at all times, regardless of where I am, home, in-laws, travelling, etc. It matters not how "nice" a neighborhood is. Crime can happen anywhere, even in the gun hating nirvana of Chicago (ugh). I wish I was paranoid all the time. That must be an awesome way to live. I hope I was not jumping to conclusions. not at all... a little paranoia is healthy I think... -the artist formerly known as sinker

Now we have a 2 year old granddaughter with a birthday today*** Congratulations!! -the artist formerly known as sinker

be kinda neat to have for your friends who come over and get smashed... f*ck w/ their head and all that... -the artist formerly known as sinker

looking at that pic again makes me wonder... perhaps it is not a kid at all... maybe just a large and painful back bunion that the dad has... or maybe it's mommies conjoined dead-fetus twin or something. -the artist formerly known as sinker

Why don't you just move to nice neighborhood, like mine? *** first, my neighborhood is quite nice, thanks, low crime but fortune favors the well-prepared... but move to your neighborhood? no thanks, kallend, you're too liberal to live close to... and besides, NO neighborhood in Chicago is good... b/c your shithead mayor hates guns... and b/c if I happened to shoot an intruder in Cook Co. I could got to jail ()... You couldn't PAY me to live there up w/ the damn gun banners... -the artist formerly known as sinker

indeed! arrested for murder b/c surely that kid has already been suffocated!! poor little guy is between two already-deployed-airbags... -the artist formerly known as sinker

three options, really... kimber ultra carry II stainless, small kel-tec 32, surefire flashlight (so bright it's debilitating) also... house is set up so it'd be hard to get in w/o making some noise before they get to the bedrooms... and our room is first, then the kids. and our house is on a hill, one story at the top and two stories at the bottom, so that the kids rooms are virtually inaccessible from the outside. can't get to 'em w/o getting past the my room... likewise, kids can't sneak out later in life w/o passing my room... -the artist formerly known as sinker

that's fantastic! i hope to be doing the same w/ my dad some day... we keep talking about it, but... enjoy it, it'll be a moment made eternal. m -the artist formerly known as sinker

I used to work on a crisis intervention team where we'd try and talk down potential suiciders, sometimes have to interview them AFTER the fact, when the attempt failed... MOST of the time, in my experience, the surviving person says that the second they stepped off the bridge/building or took the pills or whatever that they wished they wouldn't have done it... of course then there are those who are more depressed that they didn't succeed... -the artist formerly known as sinker

no, not really... I'm just being silly... kinda nice to share some commonality w/ others instead of the whole bc/abortion/catholic arguments... -the artist formerly known as sinker

I think the most important point that we're all missing though is how well can you swing them? I think pretty well after rigor mortis is gone... but if you want 'em to hurt more when you're pelted, might wanna freeze them first. at least he's not into being pelted w/ live cats... -the artist formerly known as sinker

truly sorry you witnessed that... vibes and prayers to you for healing of memories and vibes and prayers to jumper and their friends and family as well... peace, md -the artist formerly known as sinker

is that why you bought a 20 gauge instead of 12? what kind of load do you use? -the artist formerly known as sinker

I think I made a post about that awhile ago! Yes, he sure did rape her. I don't see what's so hard to understand about consent. I find it strangely gratifying that you and I actually agree on a couple of things, like male/female double standards and this whole consent/rape thing...
