That's not a wallet, that's an urban survival kit. They let you carry that shit in Chicago. I thought that was a no-gun town. Let? BTW i don't live within Chicago city limits, I am over 40 miles from the downtown lakefront, almost in a different county.

Here are some ideas; To diminish an overt American military presence use a micro foreign policy approach of negotiation on a tribal level.To reduce sectarian reprisals. Deploy a COVERT force of counter insurgency operatives who systematically use informants, incentives (call them bribes if you want),and specifically targeted propaganda to help isolate the insurgents. (it worked in Afghanistan) Focus on securing the borders and disrupting the insurgents supply chain (I realize this is the most difficult objective) Systematically neutralize the insurgent strongholds with the militias (once they have incentive) and the Iraqi army BACKED if needed by COALITION forces. The weak willed American and world public has no stomach for a proper counterinsurgency operation. So we are the most powerful nations on earth that are being held in check by those who would wish us harm. Want to know who is undermining us? Follow the money. And I mean all sides.

I wonder if Lady Thatcher would mind giving him some coaching

Coronation street sucks bollocks.

Waiting for the skies to clear right now.I'm going to go poke Kristy with a stick and get her to post some pics. Fixed it

That would be a bundle up bum!

Hey my fanny pack holds lots of useful things, a pen/pencils, cellphone, flashlight, zipties, knife, Capsacium/CN spray, Sig 226 with Surefire Tactical light, 60 rounds of ammo in magazines, earplugs too!

Especially guys with a custom fanny pack done by Gene03

Oh sure, try clubbing a baby SEAL and see if the adult ones don't use you for knife practice, or ask you to go with them for a swim!

You can try looking HERE. I use mine on a daily basis

I could give you their zip codes, they start like 601XX

If we were at war with the French, could you even tell? Or would it just look like "laundry day" is a nation wide holiday?

No because that is the same getup the Principal had on in his picture.

Was "Hoover" an assumed name perhaps? Name de plume?

Yes it did, he sucked his way to the top! hehehe FDR and he had "a thing going on" Just makes ya wanna hear "Me and Mrs. Jones" and puke huh?

Hey, don't look at me. I'm not addicted. I can quit anytime I want! Hey Max, I keep hearing the Smiths playing " i wanna be adored ignored!" I bet Walt is just feeling left out on the bashing!

Gee I bet the Dems didn't intend that now did they?

One persons opinion is the majority? Wow Only when your'e the one handing out grades at the end of the semester.

You Sir are correct! Imagine what would happen if OIL was traded in Euros or the Won? Imagine what will happen if the USA has no way to pay it's debts? I guess some people can't fathom another world wide depression.

I called both of my senators in an effort to voice my dissention in this matter, both times I was hung up on in the first minute. I called my congressman(Hastert), and I was treated with dignity and was given the chance to express my wishes on this matter and was thanked, strange huh? Dick Foreskin, and Osama Obama, are assholes and need to be voted out of office, only the asshats in chicago keep them in office due to the fact that chicago only votes for democrats.

Definately worth watching

School, Teen Clash Over Medieval Photo Saturday, January 13, 2007 7:19 AM EST The Associated Press By JUSTIN M. NORTON PORTSMOUTH, R.I. (AP) — Seventeen-year-old Patrick Agin often spends a week whittling a single arrow, and he's learning to make chain mail armor by hand. So when it came time to submit a senior yearbook photo, he selected a snapshot of himself wearing chain mail and slinging a prop sword over his shoulder. Portsmouth High School rejected the photo, citing a "zero tolerance policy" for weapons, and Agin and his family sued, claiming the school was violating his right to free speech. But Agin and others who spend their free time sword fighting and feasting on medieval-style meals also wonder why the school would discourage his passion for a hobby they say offers tens of thousands of people a way to learn about history through hands-on experience. "It's no different from wanting to appear in a Boy Scout uniform," said Tamara Griggs, a spokeswoman for the Society for Creative Anachronism, a group of 35,000 dues-paying members that stage mock battles, learn arts like calligraphy and conduct demonstrations in shopping malls. Agin belongs to the organization. During the winter, the society holds one-on-one combat events at churches and schools. In better weather, regional groups called "kingdoms" rent campgrounds and stage epic battles with as many as 1,000 soldiers per side. Portsmouth Principal Robert Littlefield said allowing a student to brandish a weapon in his senior portrait was against school policies. The school isn't obligated to provide a forum for every student's outside interests, he said. "I don't see our action as discouraging anyone's hobby," Littlefield said. "I don't see our yearbook as a vehicle where we guarantee everyone an opportunity to broadcast their hobby to our audience." The ACLU, which filed the suit in federal court in December, calls the zero tolerance policy inconsistent. It points out that the school's mascot, a patriot, is sometimes shown carrying a weapon. A federal judge asked the state education commissioner to offer a recommendation in the case. He is expected to do so within weeks. Agin came to the society through his mother, Heidi Farrington, who sews and sells re-enactment clothing to medieval fans. "They really appreciate people researching things, whether it's textiles or armor or food or any of the skills that would have been applicable," Farrington said. She said she learned to spin wool through the organization. She said the high school's decision sends a bad message about free thinking and individuality and could conceivably lead the school to ban masterpieces like Shakespeare's "Macbeth," which depicts a fatal stabbing. "The schools have gotten so into standardization that they are starting to push it on the kids," she said. Ed Morrill of New York, a regional director whose society alter ego is Viscount Edward Zifran of Gendy, called the group "a very good place for someone to come and learn something new." Morrill, who began attending society events in 1973, said a lot of people don't understand the group's appeal, but he does: "It's not your father's organization. It's something that's different but something that's socially acceptable." Society member Nicole Toscano understands the passion that would make someone pose for the yearbook in armor. The student at Simmons College in Boston joined the society at age 7 and works out to keep fit for mock sword fights. "It's just like any other sport or any martial art. I enjoy doing it just like I was playing football," said Toscano, who also practices calligraphy. Agin, who is considering joining the military after graduating this year, said he'll likely opt for a pink tuxedo, not armor, to wear to his senior prom. In the meantime, he plans to take part in more re-enactments. "I've actually been talking to a knight to become a squire," he said. Quote Somehow I would not be suprised if the school district in this case would not object if he appeared in a dress and belonged to the glory hole club, but a sword? OMG he must be stopped!!!

Indeed

If you are ex military I would like to have a word with whomever trained you. Picking a grenade up is absolutley the last thing you want to do, in many cases there is no safe direction to throw it, while it is in the air it will give you and your friends a nice shower, and furthermore it probably will just go off in your hand next to your head. If you are in a fighting position the thing to do is have a grendade sump and USE it. If you are without such, then get the fuck out of the area or behind something and get flat. I suspect someone has been watching movies. I guess all our contries enemies are soooooo stupid they don't know how to cook one off.

Oh Vortex, don't you know you aren't a hero unless you make millions every year and drive fancy cars, drink all hours of the night and wear lots of "bling"
