I respect you for admitting that, since I know how painful that was to type! But hey, it's my gun views that let me stay registered as a Republican without being a TOTAL hypocrite. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

No, I said 95%. Maybe I would cap it. Anything over $1 million would be taxed at a very high rate, for example. Let you kids make their own way in the world. You did(guessing), and I did. I don't need anone to die to ensure my financial security. Just think, if Paris Hilton stood to inherit $12,000, nobody would give a shit what she did. That's pretty much good enough for me. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Do you really think that the kid in this last incident would have put forth such an effort. I doubt it. Which incident? The actual shootings, or the kid that was caught with 30 BB guns and soda bottles full of gun powder? And honestly I haven't read enough on either to make a guess. I suppose I am just sayying that suppressing all expressions of anger or frustration may lead to these catastrophies, instead of a bunch of smaller incidents. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Somehow, I think that you would be singing a different song if you stood the chance to inherit $1 million dollars and the govt. wanted $950,000. Heh, maybe. But I don't find myself in that situation. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Are you familiar with the concept of property rights? The concept? Yes. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Wow!! You mean that some people are actually smarter than others?? I never would have guessed. Some people actually make good decisions that pay off while others make poor decisions?? I am Shocked. The rich getting richer and poor getting poorer is not something new. I think it has always been that way and always will. The two billionaires that I know both inherited their wealth. Good for them. And those 2 billionaires should be allowed to do whatever they want with their money. They should not be required to pay incredible amounts of taxes to support the lazy deadbeats and dead-end government programs. Fuck that. Inheritance tax should be like 95%. No free rides. If we want people to excel, and take personal responsibility for their lives, let them make their own money. Warren Buffet said that repealing the inheritance tax would be like "choosing the 2020 Olympic team by picking the eldest sons of the gold-medal winners in the 2000 Olympics." Makes sense to me. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

No. This has nothing to do with guns, it has to do with culture. Kids once brought guns to school all the time, and nobody got shot. I had my first gun a 12 years old. I have yet to shoot anyone. I do think we have a problem with bullying that is causing some of these incidents. Kids who think that there is no alternative choose the gun as a way to equalize the situation. Maybe if we got these kids some self-defense lessons, taught them to lift weights, and let them fight with their fists a bit more, with less severe consequences, the shootings would diminish. I was bullied when younger, and ended up in lots of fights. I lost some and won some, but never let anyone think that I wouldn't punch them in the face if they pushed hard enough. The thought of using a gun never entered my mind. My gun was for deer and squirrels. An armed populace is less prone to domination by a tyranical government. In addition, we all have a god given right to self-defense. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Wow!! You mean that some people are actually smarter than others?? I never would have guessed. Some people actually make good decisions that pay off while others make poor decisions?? I am Shocked. Explain then how executives can destroy a company and still earn huge bonuses, and then parachute out just after selling their stock options for millions. It seems that some can make poor, costly decisions and still profit nicely. Have a look at Arbusto Energy. Bush's daddy's buddy invested $1 million in that shithole when the company was worth $400,000. Nice, eh? Then in 1990 Bush sold his shares in the company (now Harken Energy) and a week later the company reported a loss of $23 million. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Open carry is no big issue to me, as long as concealed carry is OK. When you open carry, the sheeple tend to panic and report "a man with a gun." Uh, no thanks! And when I shoot the criminal in the spine, I'd like for it to be a big surprise! -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Right now posession of model rocket engines with more than 62g of propellant is illegal** even if your intent is to just make a model rocket. ** If you get a federal "explosives license", a FBI background check, are fingerprinted, and sign away your rights "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures", and have a fully armored magazine, you MAY possess a model rocket engine with 63g of propellant. Edited to add, 63g is just over 2 ounces. Part of the reason why my "J" motor capable rocket sits unfinished. That, and I didn't buy the altimeter yet....... -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Did they pull cucumbers from the shelves in the grocery stores? Evidently, you can still get your fun toys in Alabama: http://www.nbc13.com/gulfcoastwest/vtm/news.apx.-content-articles-VTM-2007-10-05-0013.html -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Not playing D&D will help too What, you mean the average level 7 dungeon master isn't beating the hotties off with a stick??? -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I don't think you, or most other cops are stupid. Many cops though, aren't too bright. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Apparently just like everyone else did? Yeah, I remember back in high school - I got the jacket with all the zippers on it before Michael J. Released 'Thriller'! -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

But with their crafty, conniving, and deceptive tendencies and lets not forget the general "Psycho-ness" that most all of them are born with.. How are we to supposed know which ones are easy (ie.. worth investing a few Drinks in) and which ones are not?? I though it was like an unspoken rule that the easy girls all put the Brand there so that we could tell the difference and thus knowing which ones to buy drinks for. Let me tell you, it's not easy. Many times those lower back tats are a False Flag, intended to increase the chances of free drinks. No, what we need here are combinations of independent signals. A lower back tat alone has an average 5% increase in scoring probability. However, the combination of a lower back tat with a tongue stud increases the advantage to 28%. If she has the stud and the tat, and her father is a minister, the advantage goes up to 68%. Needless to say, a clit piercing sends the advantage soaring up to 99.5%, since if she is showing you her clit, you are pretty much good to go. I hope this helps. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

My 100mW 532nm can cut electrical tape. The mirror polish question is good though. I suppose back at the rear of the missile there would be a blackened area near the nozzle that would give the best heat transfer. Also, I think that no reflective surface reflects all wavelengths at the same rate, so they would just design a laser that would be less reflected by polished metal, or whatever material was used in the missile. Lots to think about, I suppose. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Yes! Finally my pocket pussy will SMELL real! One more step toward making women completely unnecessary. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Tramp Stamp?! You guys are all sick, misogynistic freaks! I mean, come on! Since ALL women, deep down, are dirty, filthy tramps, the term should be simply "lower back tat." Stop this awful miscaracterization of non lower-back tatted women as uptight cock teases immediately!!! -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Agreed. B&H is top notch. KEH.com is also great for used gear. Adorama.com is also good. Stay away from the gray market ripoff places - you will regret that 'great deal', quickly. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

All test to date of said missle defense system have been unrealistic and contrived, and yet have still failed on multiple occasions. You go ahead and put your faith in that POS, but I'll rely on on diplomacy for now. Maybe in 10-20 years we will be ready with a viable missile defense system, probably laser based, but right now, we are not. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - "Many cops just ain't too friggin' bright." Maybe the crooks will take notice and have a burglary or rape competition. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Well, blue book on mid-late 80's 944's in excellent shape is around $5000, so I'm not sure about the $20,000 thing. I am looking into the Miata, though, thanks. Everything I have read says they are very fun to drive. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
