Hey cool you're alive!

On hold with AT&T about my phone shutting on and off, trying to get a new one. Not pleased. Should have just stayed in bed this morning with the way this day is going so far.

Normally I feel the same way, but he's gonna call me out and try to act all intelligent in public, but like an ass in private. I don't play that game. Say it in here or shut up.

His pm my reply. And you are a punk wannabe. Look man, it’s not my fault I was a cop and you can’t cut it, or don’t have what it takes. You are a freaking $8 an hour security guard and want people here to think you are something more by adding “and do training for my company”. You are making yourself look like an immature fool just like you did when you threw your crying azz baby fit that you were going to quit posting. Most everything you say is BS. You are clueless and then get pissed because other members call you on it. I was not involved in that at all; so it wasn’t my doing. But like everyone else I had a good laugh at it. I’m not going to reduce myself to your level on an open forum; all it will do is get the thread locked. Anything else you want to whine or cry about? Yea I'll start with this you don't know a thing about me, what I do, or who I am. You can't form an intelligent argument so you think if you talk enough crap or get tough with people they'll back off. Well check this out, I don't back down and I could care less what you think of me. You wanna make brash accusations about me and my life go ahead, I'm not about to sit here and justify myself or my life to you. As far as other members calling me on things, yea I usually have debates with people. That's what a forum is for, but it's usually settled ultimately without someone going to the lengths you did. BTW if you thought you were gonna talk down to me in private and still maintain some type of "I was just being me" attitude on the forum? Guess again bubba.

I agree with that more or less, but the statement about teachers with guns and kid's sleepovers in laughable. I wonder how many sleepless nights that idiot sat at home trying to figure out what to right without sacrificing his liberal readers and keeping us at bay. Sorry Chris, EPIC FAIL!

Or maybe it's just when certain people question their patriotism or that of their friends. Good edit since it's really your generation that's been in power ****ing the rest of us over.

Didn't say you said it. Simply stated it was a rhetoric. It's an overall attitude that buying anything other than American made products is unpatriotic. I've said several times that I would rather support American businesses, but I'm not going to go into debt to buy an American product that I need, such as a motor vehicle, if an import runs just as good, if not better, and costs less. I agree with Crimsonaudio when he says both the buyer and the Federal government are responsible for all of this. If you want to put restrictions and tariffs on imports that will possibly work, but you have to somehow guarantee the American consumer that the American products they will then be, more or less, forced to buy are equal or greater quality. I threw the cop shot in there because, usually, at least once in a thread you use your background in law enforcement as the nail to drive on why you are right. Your impression is correct, I work private security and do training for my company. I don't really look at it throwing a fit, you personally attacked a friend of mine. That pissed me off. I don't want an apology I just wanted clarification. If you want to take a cheap shot for me bowing out of me and Fallguy's months old argument that's cool. I took the high road, talked to Fallguy in pm and got it settled and took a break before I ran my mouth off. Now all is gravy. You think making fun of people or making harsh, rude statements is going to somehow when your argument? Your nothing more than an arrogant fool. As far as I'm concerned you may go find the largest rope you can and piss up it.

I would love to buy American and I do when it's a quality made item or fits my budget at the time, but I don't blindly buy into the "If you don't buy American you're Commie!" rhetoric. I don't think sink or swim is the fix, but it's a good attitude overall. Why keep bailing out and tolerating shoddy workmanship and greedy companies? If you hire your bro-in-law to build a fence and he repeatedly messes it up or doesn't complete the work, you are going to fire him. We need to quit passing money out to the undeserving and start re-evaluating things like Welfare. I also don't know what Physiology has to do with understanding a person. Perhaps you meant Psychology? I'm also still waiting for you to show me the post where I claimed to be a cop, unless you care to recant the statement?

There is alot of sense in that. While I still firmly believe we are a great country and I'm damn proud to live here, we have become a nation of elitist, petty, arrogant, snobs. We want to talk about how great we are and how everybody else sucks, but nobody wants to maintain the greatness or work to fix what is broken. We are Rome.

Nice piece.

That is a question with many answers around here.

Wife got me a new Eddie Bauer pocket knife multi-tool. It's purty cool! She got a new speaker dock for her mp3 player. I guess I'll take her to dinner tonight too.

I'm gonna go in between and say that I have watched the show and I remember it being entertaining and that White Castle is pretty darn good fresh from the actual restaurant not the freeze dried box o' burgers. I still love me some Krystals though!

How am I clueless about manufacturing?? You are debating American products VS. imports. I say imports, currently, are just as good or better. I'm not debating the manufacturing process. You want my thoughts on how to fix it? Sink or swim bubba. If American made is better, it will ultimately win out. I don't see the tool companies needing bail outs. As far as me claiming to be a cop? I'd love to see the post. I've made statements about eventually going through a reserve class, maybe taking the LEO path one day, but I've never claimed to be anything other than what I am. If you'll direct your attention to the right hand side of your screen under my nifty avatar there you will notice the lack of the yellow badge icon.

Oh that's bull****. You can't make a solid argument so now you're gonna insult a veteran? Who carried who? You think you're some ****ing know it all because you were a cop in the most communist state in the ****ing Union? I'm about sick of you and you're BS logic and arguments. I rarely ever call somebody to the mat, but you seem to like to do it so I'm gonna say my piece on this one. Jesus, Dave what's next on the agenda today kick an elderly man down the stairs because he drives a Toyota?

They've only been making semi-autos for what about 30 or so years? Wonder why no department carries them hardly anymore? Cars I don't think so. Motorcycles not really. Guns obviously because we are the only country that is large market. Liquor yea more or less. I don't ride crotch rockets, I ride cruisers. Yea I like Harley, but I really don't think a Harley is a whole lot better than my Suzuki cruiser either. Seriously, did you just call me a hater? Ok haven't been called that since 8th grade. So you'd rather buy a POS and support corrupt executives out of some misplaced sense of loyalty to a company that doesn't care about it's customers, only the bottom line? Um if the taxpayer's money is going to keep these idiots in business I think we should at least be able to ask something in return. I have alot of family that worked in the Detroit car making business and I know several that, if it weren't for the outrageous discounts they get on their vehicles, would drive those "POS" imports and some still do despite a discount. Truth of the matter is I can afford it. I drive a Pontiac, wife drives a Dodge, I buy Kimber guns, snap-on tools, and drink Jack Daniels. I also thank you to not tell me where I can stand. Since we're runnin off at the mouth and I didn't use it yet, here ya go

Exactly. I drive a Pontiac right now. Bought it showroom floor new in 2004 right after BCT. The car is 5 years old and only has 66,000 miles on it. Oil is changed regularly,etc. I have already spent close to a grand in repairs. Conveniently about 5-10000 miles after the warranty expired. My buddy who drives a Honda has over 1k miles on it and it still sounds and drives like new. Most expensive thing he ever did to it was put tires on it.

Because S&W are a bunch of sell-outs who have produced some of the crappiest semi-autos this side of Taurus? I understand the buy American rhetoric, but American needs to be better. When Honda makes a car that just won't stop why buy a GMC? When Suzuki makes a motorcycle that looks just as good as a Harley, runs great, and sounds good why would I pay 10,000 dollars more for a name? The problem is that American companies have been OK with f'ing the customers over to make a buck, now there are bigger, better companies that are taking away their security blanket. If you want to revive the economy you ship all the illegals out, force American interests and companies to manufacture a better product and, for a while, give incentives to buy American. You can also start by taking people like Nadya Suleman and locking them up in the looney bin before they have 14 kids needing 100% government aid.

Aww. Come here buddy.

Damn you're mean lately. Do you need to like a puppy or something?

Well, first Repubs don't have the majority now. It's an even split and Kent Williams falling in between. Second, Freud said the fear of weapons is a sign of sexual and emotional retardation. You think a bunch of open and free liberals would hate to be seen as "sexually retarded"

Depends on several factors really. Her level of expectation on receiving a gift + her current position in her monthly cycle x what kind of days she's had - her proximity to a firearm= Y

WHAT?! Man, nobody ever feeds me. All seriousness Halfpint is good people and they are a good store!

Woke up feelin' like I got hit by a bus because I was out drinking until 4am. Got woken up by a Lt. to tell me our police reserve class might FINALLY be taking place and was I still interested. As soon as the wife gets back we gotta go to a bridal shower/groom gift type thingy at our friends' houses. Then I'm gonna take her to dinner tonight I reckon.

I'm gonna try to go see this tomorrow or Monday.
