  1. I haven't counted, but I'm sure I have enough to fight my way to your house. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  2. When I was young, I stayed at the YMCA daycare / camp during the summer. We shot BB guns one day per week. We shot bows one day. There was a rotation of activities and a weekly schedule. I don't recall any problems. But then, that's in the south during the 70's. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  3. Thanks for the clarification on the Olympic issue. I still think anyone competing with a weapon should be competent to keep from injuring someone. It is a weapon. If it can't injur anyone, it is a toy. Just as a FYI thing: George S. Patton, Jr. competed in the Olympics in Modern Pentathlon. As I recall, they gave him a Bronze after the fact. During the contest, they ruled it was impossible that he had put two bullets through one hole. They declared that he must have missed the target entirely. That decision was later reversed.

  4. I shot precision rifle for years and again with my daughter. I lament the demise of the pellet gun in this sport. I don't think the laser will be the same. I also think the reasons cited are silly. Safety? Has any olympic shooter ever injured themselves or another because they were that incompetent with their weapon? Come on. Sounds like an anti-gun thing to me. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  5. They have driver's education in HS. Maybe firearms education would be good. My kids owned their own guns from an early age so they would leave mine alone. My daughter shot on a rifle team for three years. I'm a big proponent of an armed citizen, but I'm also a big proponent of responsibility going with rights and privileges. By the way...in most states in the US, you have to have that state's ID, money and a clean record to buy a firearm. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  6. I've been married a long time (quite happily, thanks) so I just gotta ask, does that kind of stuff ever, ever work? I sure wouldn't do that if I was trying to get a date. Whats worse is that she was at the table playing poker that the dude was dealing for, and she knew he'd bonked her hot mama. You can't make shit like that up. I remembered that part too, but wasn't sure she wanted it posted here. I wonder if that technique worked on mom and he figured he'd go for a double play?

  7. I don't agree with everything Freud theorized on, but found this interesting. I assume he meant that an unnatural fear of weapons was involved. Some healthy respect for weapons is only good sense. "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity." -- Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) Jewish Austrian neurologist, founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychiatry Source: General Introduction to Psychoanlysis I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  8. So, how do we declare marriage in a plural, gay, whatever environment? If I post on here for the world to read that I marry everyone on DZ.com, is that sufficient? What about people who don't participate, but have a logon? New members? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  9. I have to heartily disagree. Yeshua was very clear that he did not come to change one little tittle or tot of the Torah. The only thing that changed was the nature of the sacrifice necessary for attonement. He did refute many of the man-made fencing requirements of the religious leaders of the day. But those were not part of the Torah. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  10. Now there's a line of thought that had not crossed my mind. Interesting. I'll ponder it. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  11. I'm having a hard time finding intelligenc life on this planet. Why worry about the others? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  12. Turtle - quit calling your genitals 'the authorities'. It's getting disturbing. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  13. I printed out her picture and turned it over. You're right. No help. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  14. Depends on the state. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  15. His point is that she was a woman. I'm pretty sure he's correct. I'll google it. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  16. Good catch. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  17. So...dems are the party of minorities? Why did Bush appoint the first black Secretary of State? The first female (and black) Secretary of State? Was he a closet Dem? I don't think either party has a monopoly on anything. They are both neck and neck on hot air, lies and greed. They just pander to different groups ordinarily. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  18. The Army requires you to have an official photo posted to your file within the past 18 months. It is a part of any promotion board or selection process. There is no official explanation for why. Your evaluations record that you pass the physical fitness standards to include height and weight requirements. Do you think they want to decide if you are good looking? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  19. Assault weapons fall under the term 'arms' the keping a bearing of which shall not be infringed acording to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. If you read the Federalist Papers and much else written by our founding fathers, you will find the reasoning is clear. They just had to fight a tyranical government to start over. They used arms. They wanted future generations to have tha same ability. I've never understood why so many people are unable to grasp that simple truth. The founding fathers had no more faith in a republican form of government than in the monarchy. Franklin said the only thing worse than democracy was all the forms of government we had tried before. They put in at least solid protection for their posterity. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  20. Some judges will look outside state or federal law and even the US Constitution to get their way on an issue. We have judges who want to cite international law as persuasive or even controlling on issues within the US. This law was clearly intended to preempt that kind of behavior. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  21. Sounds more like they are trying to decide if they want to have an affair with you. Afterall, it's the French. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  22. BUT on the other hand I guess you are good with supporting the hundreds of thousands that cost us billions of dollars to house them in prisons for low level drug users who were never violent offenders before they were sent to prison to learn how to be violent thugs. That was a completely illogical leap of inference. If I am OK with legalizing drugs, why would I want to pay to house drug offenders? And, having defended them in court, I can tell you that most jurisdictions have extensive programs and work very hard to keep from locking up users. I have had the DA offer probation to a six time felon with no negotiation at all. On possession charges, I have never seen anyone get locked up. Now, if the drugs are combined with firearms, burglary, etc.; sure. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  23. Does it really? I think I am moving back to Iowa in that case. I need free skydives in order to obtain happiness. Where are you? I'll pick you up on my way if you aren't too far off my route! I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

  25. "difficult to square with the fundamental principles of equal protection embodied in our constitution" “Our constitution does not permit any branch of government to resolve these types of religious debates and entrusts to courts the task of ensuring that government avoids them,” Cady wrote. Hmmm...I think the Court jumped right in and decided the religious issue for itself. And the quote about 'principals of equal protection embodied in our constitution' tells me that there is nothing stated. They are interpreting some kind of general intent that is in accord with personal opinions. I think the court opinion is suspect legally even though I support whatever unions individuals prefer.
