  1. Isn't it sickening that our nation's capital city is one of the most restrictive in terms of our second protected right of the people? This is fantastic. If it holds, I expect to see a wave of strike-downs across the nation.

  2. Hey guys, thought I'd ask on here. Can't find anything on Google too easily. As I was heading home from Athens yesterday, I noticed that, a few hundred yards past the Meigs-McMinn County border (on the McMinn side) there was a whole bunch of Meigs County cops, seems like close to a dozen (probably the whole Meigs po-po force!). Some were blocking a couple of side-roads off highway 30. There were some other vehicles there, I guess part of the rescue squad or something.

     

    Being a rural area, it's a fairly unusual thing to see, even if Meigs doesn't have too good of a reputation when it comes to pillbillies and such.

     

    Anyway, thought I'd ask if anyone has heard or knew anything. Kind of strange to see more than one or two Meigs cops outside of the Piggly Wiggly...

  3. I hear you - and I'm a youngin', only three months out of my teenage years! I can't understand how disgusting and foul things have gone from unaccepted to supposedly "LOL"-worthy in the space of about two to three generations. It's why I don't even watch movies. Our tastes as a whole have gone from refined to trash.

     

    I'd like to add one more thing - this seems to go in tandem with how folks present themselves in public. My dad (71) says that he and his old folks would always dress nicely when they went "out" - as seldom as that was. Their car was always shined and in shipshape. The women dressed with at least a half a thought of respect for themselves.

     

    We've gone from that to where nobody cares how they appear in public - I'm not talking about everyone wearing a suit and tie or a dress all the times, but at least something half decent. If you look around in town - wherever "in town" may be for you - you see so much trash. What gets me the most, odd as it may be for a young man, is seeing attractive young ladies who don't appear to be dopeheads basically advertising themselves. Skimpy tops, skimpy shorts. It's disgusting.

     

    It seems to me that society seems to follow the state of the entertainment industry, I swear... in the 40s and 50s we had more class, a sense of respect for ourselves. Now as movies and all entertainment has devolved into an orgy of provocative and piggish filth, so has society. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Being so young, who am I to say anything?

  4. I left airsoft because of work. I still have a few guns laying around. Its just sad that I was convinced to buy a new gun. Sure it was cheap, but it would have been the money for a real pistol. But then I wouldnt have the joy of shooting little kids and their parents with it. All is fair in the field.

    Sure you could, it just depends on how strange you are!

     

    I was into airsoft in years past, but I got tired of having things break or arrive broken. I'm not much of a mechanic-y type of guy, so I wasn't interested in fiddling with them myself. I still have a Classic Army M16A1 I bought three years back that had about four shots through it before it just up and died.

  5. Assuming the screw is a normal right-hand thread, drill into it with a left-hand drill bit. That usually works, and you don't need an extractor. Depending on the damage, if you can't get a good start, take a center punch or just something metal, round and pointed, place it in the center of the screw, and tap it with a hammer a few times.

     

    Chances are you probably don't have a left-hand drill bit, but they're handy to have for cases like this.

  6. Since we have dial-up internet, usually the phone line ain't open. On the off chance it is... one day we got a phone call from some goofus outfit, I forget what, and my dad of all people answered the phone. I was outside, all I heard was "WHO? ...SHUT UP, GO TO HELL" and then the phone slamming... hah... that's how you handle telemarketers and other goofball groups you don't want part of. Or just get a really loud, high-pitched whistle and stick it right up to the phone speaker... gah.
