  1. A handgun is explicitly designed to kill a person. Nobody is going to steal your silverware and use it to rob or kill someone else. It may not be "silverware" but people don't use knives to commit armed robbery, and murder people? Most murders with knives, according to what I've read, employ kitchen knives -- very often either a steak knife or a butcher-type knife. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  2. Well, they're British. All they need is for some cop to say that what they're doing is "Anti-Social"... Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

  4. That there is funny shit, I don't care who you are. Chris Rock is one of my favorites. He's easy for me to understand. Makes me hungry for some Nigga Please cereal! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  5. Speaking of a real hoot, that's definitely a big one, given that you don't list jump info, yourself. Even I have more shown than you do. I have 208 jumps, they're all logged (a fair number also on my Pro-Track) and I even have posted some queries recently in the *gasp* SKYDIVING FORUM on this site!! Obviously this does not constitute proof, but given that you don't provide any about yourself, it's really really odd that you would cast that stone.

  8. So, you didn't get the sense that we were lookin' at a bunch of really serious WEIRDOS? I figure that a person can come out of a household where the parents smoked and be relatively normal. Not a psycho-social freakshow, like I fear these kids stand a very good chance of being. What goes on at their school? They'd be in the equivalent of 3rd grade. Do they talk to their classmates about how sweet their mommy's breast milk was this morning before school?? They didn't really say whether this family does this when they are out and about -- like many women do with infants they breast feed (and I have ZERO problem with that). If they demur from doing this when out, I take that as a tacit admission that even they feel what they are doing is not quite right. P.S. Both of my parents smoked cigarettes and raised four kids (two boys, two girls) each of whom have never smoked a day in their lives. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

    WTF?

  10. You need to change you your name to bird DICK. Ya think maybe he didn't want to sit for and hr. burning fuel at a NAZI checkpoint? Wow. Someone needs some time to cool his jets... Jets are cooled. Yeah, ah... I see that's not the same as saying, like, "post is edited"... I suppose you're just lucky that most mods are either asleep, or at work, or on your side...

  11. It's within a system of priveledge, money and stature for favor. Wanna pretend it's isolated....have a good one. YOU are the one who keeps claiming that this is codified in the System. It's not. You keep failing to show that it is. I don;t know that he paid more, he just used his stature or it was overtly present and the system worked for him and Alonzo. Wanna call it random? Cool, just like your neo-cons since fascist Ronnie and the debt, just a wild coincidence. Whether it's about paying more or just using fame to his advantage, doesn't matter. Same difference, really. But you still are not showing that the system "has different rules" for these guys. This kind of thing is aberrant, and I cannot explain it as I did not follow the issue. If I knew it to be true, and there was no rational, medical-needs-based explanation for it, I'd be just as tee'd off as you evidently are. This is where I will help you out. You can just claim you knew this stuff all along as you always do. In the law, esp the criminal law, there is a concept of Due process. This governs the way people are processed thru the system. The dichotomy of due process, the way scholars define it like this: - Procedural due process - Substantive due process With procedural DP you get your initial appearance within 48 hours, arraignment, pretrial conference, etc...... You get your shitty court appointed lawyer and all the fun that goes with that. He sleeps thru most of your trial and you get convicted. As you're appealing and filing post-conviction relief, the appelate courts are telling you how you received due process, PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS. Simple solution: [I]DON'T DO THE FUCKIN' CRIME[/I]. Just proof that the guy made the right choice by stickin' to it at school, going to college, and getting a good job and earning a good living, rather than thinking he's gonna be the next big rapper or B-ball star...

  13. One wonders where said gun on the black market came from. One of the 300,000+ guns stolen annually from careless "law abiding gun owners", no doubt. It could have been stolen out of a police evidence room. Sold to a criminal by a corrupt cop (possibly after being pilfered from a police evidence room, or taken off a criminal suspect whom he later let go). Stolen from a police equipment locker (this happened to a large number of Glocks from the State Parks Police on Long Island back in the mid-late '90s, I recall). Bought legally by a gang member who does not as yet have a criminal record, then sold to a criminal because the gang member doesn't care. Lotsa ways. Not all of them involve "negligence" by a law-abiding gun owner. Use your imagination. I know it's not as much fun for you as just knee-jerk blaming ordinary gun owners, but...

  14. That's rhetorical, I think you know, so I won't play into your rhetorical question game. Why's it rhetorical? It's asked in earnestness. I was truly asking you if you plan to vote for Obama even though you state that you support socialism -- because the implication would be that Obama, for you, is the next best thing to voting for a socialist. Some say he is a socialist, and I am not all that inclined to disagree. Time will tell -- if he gets elected. No, they don't have a chance to overthrow your Nazi. Now that is just inflammatory bullshit. Besides, it makes clear how you are going to run to the establishment Democrat party, rather than have the balls to vote for who you truly think should run the country. If no one will ever "waste" his vote on a 3rd party candidate, how will we ever break free of this horrible 2-party system that the left is always decrying? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...or Barack Hussein Obama, of the Democrat Party, who does not avow being a socialist. Name me a socialist country where it is not the GOVERNMENT administering every-mother-fucking-program! To hear you tell it, we're supposed to picture a big ol' town meeting where all the population gets together to give each other "free health care" and drug needles and... whatever else you're supposed to get "free" from a socialist system. Ah, so I should have read further at the start. Finally I have my admission from an Obama fan that the reason they want him is because he IS a socialist wannabe. Oh shit I wish he was. Not nearly as much as I wish that people who want to live in a socialist country fucking MOVE to one and leave America alone! So Obama is actually concealing from American voters just how socialist he is... He is either selling people a bill of goods, or they know or believe he is this socialist and they are actually supporting socialism just like you are... I don't get that one. But at least I know that you are voting for Obama because he's as close to a socialist as you can find; and that every time he denies it, or his supporters deny it--and deny it they do--he or they are just plain lying.

  15. Yes, a problem dating back to Reagan's absurd policies concerning people unable to take care of themselves. So now it's either the streets or prison. We've had, um, one two three different administrations since then, one of them Democrat, and even some Democrat-controlled Congresses... None of them took care of the problem, or had the opportunity to correct whatever it is you say Reagan screwed up? In all that time, it's still down to blaming Reagan, and not whoever did not fix it?! Do you see yet why we say that Democrats would rather bitch about who caused a problem than solve it?! Because the homeless we see, many of them weren't even BORN when Reagan was in office, man. These are people who became homeless long after Reagan's policies. Are you really telling us that they could not be reversed by anyone who cared to make the attempt? Say, a compassionate Democrat president and man of the people who "feels people's pain"? Nothing?

  16. Oh, I forgot... "LASER SIGHTS?! Oh my, he was certainly dangerous, but those laser sights, oooh, he was just a walking WMD! *GASP* He had laser sights?! More sensationalist bullshit. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  17. Wow, if he had 400 more primers and 400 more loads of smokeless powder, they could have upped the total number of rounds of ammunition to 11,200. When are reporters going to finally crack open their fuckin' AP Stylebooks and look at the entry for "weapons"? A bullet does not equal a round of ammunition. So why do they always announce that the guy had x number of guns on him, as though the more guns, the more ominous the intention? How many guns can a person effectively use at any one time? ONE. Especially if he's a nutjob. A manifesto, huh? I wonder if he had shaved the fingerprints off his fingers with a razor blade, too. Shot at a traffic light? Come on, heh, who can raise their hand and say they've never done that when they're frustrated and late for work?! Heh... ...anybody? Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  18. Wow. We're up to THREE "no, it's not fucked ups"! As Lex Luthor once said, "I never thought this thing'd go the distance." I know we'll probably never know, but now I'm curious who thinks it's ok to breast feed through age 8... Maybe if we get this moved to SC we could plumb that depth, wring the truth out of...

  20. Spoken like a man who has not watched the film Idiocracy Watch it, and see if you can argue with what they're saying about the outbreeding that stupid people are doing over smart people. In case you were not aware, we have a record number of people in prison, and every city of any appreciable size has a significant problem with homeless "street people," although I'm not up on the numbers regarding French Legionnaires. (But Legionnaires Disease pops up on the cruise ships running out of Miami every now and then)... There are those who believe that the decadent nature of this pop-culture, combined perhaps with the way people take it with them and feed it to themselves almost intravenously in our modern age, has a lot to do with the burgeoning prison population, or slipping place in the world (far fewer graduates in tech and science fields, for starters, than lots of other countries)...
