Hard to say . . . I have no idea what having a small penis is like. Can you shed any light on the subject? No that's why I was asking.

If you can't spot a PA in there, you need new glasses. Do you think having a small penis would help?

I can't see an PA here, do you feel that he attacked your penis or your gun?

What, pissing off Brits? everyone I've answered the question for you.

And relieve you of the pleasure of writing an vitriolic missive yourself, never. Besides I can't be arsed to write to someone about it, it is not a big deal to me. Bollocks, the first post in this thread was entirely the UK. Oh, those big bad scary Brits they might come and take my guns away. (Psst. actually the last time that might have happened was a few hundred years ago, no one tells the US what to do any more.) You are not restricted from doing so, but when you do it will be called out fro the BS that it is. At least you are honest about it. It is entertaining though, makes me laugh while when I'm bored shitless at work.

So let's say you are correct. Does that mean that it's okay to eliminate a constitutional right from one-third of all citizens? I don't agree with a hand gun ban in the USA, so in this case no, anyway more than 50% disagree with a ban, that is democracy at work. What I take issue with is your slamming of the UK, there is no right to guns in the UK, continuously raising this as a reason not to ban in the USA is BS and I will continue to call it that, I have no problem with attacking the idea of a ban IN THE USA, but please stop dragging other countries into this, you are deliberately clouding an issue which most people agree with you on (in principle, we can argue about .50 rifles later )

He's probably having trouble counting, that is a lot of research you asked him to do

It was a joke, a locationist slur against the good people of texas, not offense meant.

50% is a minority? Blacks are a minority too - does that mean we shouldn't give a darn about them, and grant them fewer constitutional rights than others? But 25% is. http://www.ncjrs.org/pdffiles/165476.pdf This is a link to a DoJ survey from 1997, the NRA recons this grows at 1% a year, so taking that (unsubstantiated) claim into account you still only get 34%.

That's really it, it's not just guns, it rights and freedoms. And that I respect. I have no respect for continually posting this BS about the UK (and other countries).

I visited east texas near the luisianna border once and spent some time in arizona. Never lived there, I guess I'm just lucky :)

I moved over here (USA) 6 years ago, and except for an off duty cop I still have to meet someone in person who carries a gun on their person (or vehicle). I have co-workers that have guns at home but none carry, I have never felt the need to arm myself either here or in the UK. Legal non-professional gun carriers are rare even in the US, even gun owners are in a minority in the USA. I think the effectiveness of an armed civilian is very limited even in protecting themselves, there are of course exceptions and I'm sure someone will post a link to them just to prove me wrong. The pro-gun issue is really wanting to exercise a right that others are trying to take away, a kind of stubbon in your face type of resistance, an example is what we see from the gun supporters on this site with these pro-gun posts. There is also the person who has to prove that "my dick is bigger than yours" as well, some do it with guns, they are probably outspoken about the right to carry as they need to let people know that they carry. I'd be curious to know the percentage of male vs. female CCW people

You are presuming that John gives a shit about public opinion, I believe he is pushing his own agenda and to hell with what the people really want.

It seems, from this view, that you are really on the other side of the looking glass, there. -Jeffrey

The notion that your system is a monarchy is what appalls me. There is no room in the world for such a deplorable system. Aren't we more "progressive" than to have KINGS and QUEENS in this modern time? Doesn't that fly in the face of "all men are created equal"? Funny how so many countries make fun of the Americans, but WE are the ones who have that CODIFIED IN OUR CONSTITUTION. -Jeffrey

The UK is a democracy, with a lifetime head of state (aka Monarch), it is not a republic, perhaps you would like to see that changed as well, or maybe you just didn't know about it, where did you go to school, did you major in ID? Why yes, I think that a monarchy is a sickeningly archaic idea, and is a remnant of a time when education was so poor and in short supply that societies may have needed an elite few to do their thinking for them. Nowadays, oligarchy is appaling. Any society that still clings to it is retarded. Besides, as I understand it, the U.K.'s monarchy is clearly NOT what makes the laws by which you live. (Or rather "UNDER which you live." Your nation seems very much to have the bootheel of the law on its throat.) -Jeffrey Monarchy is not an idea it is reality. What caused you to be so bitter against the UK? Talking about oligarchies, that is kind of the USA today, so you should be happy about that.

If that is what it takes to give you a boner...

Will you ever be able to stop whining about the UKs gun rules, you should try it will make you a happier person in the long run In case you didn't know, no-one in the UK gives a soggy shit about the views of americans like you or John when it comes to gun control, your views are regarded as would be the rantings of a crazy man, so you may as well save your words for something else.

The news reports quote several senators, some on the intelligence committees, some republicans, as saying they never knew that this was what was happening. This is a very typical of issues dividing americans. 1 Left wing make an outrageous claim 2 Right wing strongly deny that it happens 3 President and aids deny it ever happened 4 Press publish story 5 cycle back to 1 several times 6 President makes a statement confirming press but justifies his actions in the name of security or the war on terrorism. 7 Bush supporters defend his actions 8 Rest of us express our discontent in some way and get bashed by bush supporters in some way, this time we are accused of "being funny". This president is overstepping the mark, he is not above the law, he has to act within it. I have not heard a reason why they could not have used the existing secret court for authorizing this, there are even provisions for emergencies that let them do this for up to 72 hours without a court order. The ultimate result of all these citizen rights and checks and balances being removed is a police state.

I'd second that after moving to H-town from SMB a few years ago. Tim & Monique really made the difference. Last w/e he let the KA fly with 6 fast packers to 15K at sunset, kinda makes you feel good about your home DZ. btw I heard that Jess only sold 50% of SMB.

It's true, that's really sad. {{{{VIBES}}}} for your loss. Did you try hanging the remains over your headboard? Then you can see it's little face every morning and remember the good times. It does a lot for closing the grieving process. At least until it's little eyeballs start to sag.... The smell would be terrible, I bet that would get to you before the eyeballs sagged. All that gas that builds up in the little body would bloat it really bad, it would look really odd, not very kittenish

So you would have to wear a wing suit to stay with them. I wonder if they would try to claw you in freefall?

One of my sons is profoundly deaf and has an implant, we can have a conversation over the phone. It is a remarkable device. The parents need to choose, it is not an easy path and it does require a huge commitment to get the best out of the device including years of language therapy.

How fast do they go at terminal? Can you use them instead of a space ball?
