  1. I fail to see why it is the state's jobs to legislate your (not you personally) kids into behaving decently. That is your job as a parent. I would hope that my (future) children would come to me with stuff like that, and I will do my best to raise them in a non-judgemental atmosphere that makes it natural. It seems that your credo is the good old: Trust is good. Control is better. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  2. A couple of things: Can someone please explain to me why it is considered OK to shoot a buglar. Burglary is not a capital offense. If anyone shoots an unarmed burglar they should be prosecuted for murder. End of story. Switzerland: I live there currently, and yes they all have guns of varying caliber allowing them to fight their way to their unit in case of invasion. However they are now contemplating storing the guns centrally due to a few too many cases of husbands deciding to use their wife's head for target practice. Americans and Europeans generally don't understand each other on this point (= guns, not Switzerland
  3. I prefer this one: Weird Al Yankovic, Trigger Happy HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

    HOW?

    Maybe she just never thougt it was meant to be that much, but was to weak to tell you. That would make her "look for an excuse". As for how to handle the situation now, ouch!

  5. Guilty as charged. Grew up at a Cessna DZ. Veeery big sky to be shared with (max) four other people. I always check the sky around me while flying though, but this one has never been an issue. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  6. I now see how completely we have failed in our way of debating this subject. [URL "http://abstractfactory.blogspot.com/2005/10/only-debate-on-intelligent-design-that.html"]This[/url] is how it should be done HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  7. You must be pretty drunk, if you can't tell for yourself HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  8. OK, that headline so made me think of something completely different . I know, I know, I am a sick person... HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  9. Actually I think that even among the most hard-core gun ethusiasts flame throwers a seen as a rarity, but I might be wrong here... HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  10. Jamen selv tak da. (My secret language has been exposed! Just wait till I find the leak... ) HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  11. You have been duly credited for your observation.
  12. Wise words. The best defense is... not being there
  13. Now, that's a hurricane! Who needs jump planes... On a side note, you should know better than to go jumping in a hurricane HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  14. Are you saying it was dropped from altitude and then lay exposed to the elements for nearly a year? If so, I am duly impressed. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  15. My background is 16 years of Shinson Hapkido training. Two points: 1) When choosing a style or school I will tell you the same as I tell any parent when they ask me about what to choose for their kids: Go there, take a lesson and talk to the instructor. You will quickly figure out if it is a place where you want to be. They will not (or should not) be offended that you are just "shopping" around. They are used to it (at least I am). 2) As for TKD it is a mixture from the 50's of a number of Korean schools. There is no such thing as "standard" TKD, at least there didn't use to be. It is thus very much different what you will experience depending on who is the teacher/master and what his/her background is. Some places merely take bit enough of the Kukkiwon curriculum to be able to do competition fighting, while others take a shall we say more complete approach.

  17. I like your post. The problem arises when he shows up to warn about the fire, and all they see is a guy freaked out about the fire place in his room. Furthermore he was so busy getting out of his room that he didn't get dressed, and now we have him trying to convince the other guests that they should leave, while they try to get him dressed, so he doesn't catch pneumonia.
  18. Exactly. France: 1 LA: 50-60 Americans are just so efficient (
  19. Thank you. Is it very obvious that I was bored at work? HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  20. Depends who you compare with. I am not sure a comparison with France (or most EU countries for that matter) would be flattering. What I notice in particular is the difference in casualties. 50-60 people were killed in LA. One person has been killed so far in France (plus of course the two kids who got fried) HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

  22. Notice how they link to each other. There is clearly a well organized organization behind bringning this to the light. So far I have not seen a single site claiming he is not a duck...

  23. I agree and stand corrected. Actually one might be tempted to say that we are quite sure that most (if not all) scientific theories are "wrong" in the sense of "not true". That however does not diminish the descriptive power of some models. Evolution, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics... These are all models which we know to describe parts of Nature. Are they "true"? That question can per definition never be answered. Edit: Speling is hart...

  24. Nobody knows!! Exactly. This is clearly a controversial matter. Keep your minds open people. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
  25. It has already happened. Only a lot more people got killed. Edit: Damn you mr2mk1g for posting faster than me. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
