Those are really dangerous! If you ship them to me, I'll take care of disposing of them properly - no charge!

Amen! RIP Shifty

So Redline Rush helps you stay erect in many ways?

That's like the Panama City PD telling me that the beach was closed between the hours of darkness. ????

47.1/52.9 against

Still 41/59

I hate jumping into this conversation due to the high emotional content from all sides, but what the heck - it's a Monday after all. I can completely understand the reasoning of your friend. Why? Because he's a product of the television information age. Everyone my age and younger are products of the television information age. Not that all of us take our knowledge from television, but the impact television has had on our society is so large, everyone can't help but be impacted from it. The greatest example would be the last presidential campaign. The fact that one word was able to usher in an extremely radical leadership is proof of how we have all been conditioned to a short, simple message instead of well thought out and explained principles. That all being said, if a person has never researched and thought out the present and historical precedents of an armed populace and its effect upon their governance, then there cannot be an expectation that the person will blindly choose to support the arming of the people. For a large percentage of the US population, the idea of being surrounded by a lot of people wearing guns is frightening. Why? Because all they've ever seen are tv shows, movies, and the nightly news. All of which portray people who own guns as either being criminals who routinely shoot other people, police officers who routinely shoot other people, or vigilantes who routinely shoot other people. Therefore, unless someone has done some real research, they will automatically assume that an armed person is someone who routinely shoots people, and their only hope is that the armed person happens to be a police officer. This is not to say that people who think like this will not support the 2nd Amendment. It does, however, tend to indicate how people will react when they are are knowingly in the presence of an armed individual. Now, I know that this isn't logical, but gun owners and people who carry need to understand that this is where the vast majority of people start out and they have to either wilfully move themselves to a more enlightened position, or they have to be helped along the way by others who can withstand the emotional outbursts and not respond in kind, but calmly continue to provide logical arguments as they assist the other person to a higher level of understanding.

As for successful third party candidates, you'd have to throw Joe Lieberman in. Granted, he's really a Democrat, but the Democratic party spent a lot of money in defeating him in the Democratic primary (only to have the floor wiped during the general election when he ran as an independent).

That gives you a solid 7 out of 10 average!

Well, I got 3/10. And, I feel pretty good knowing that I actually knew those. Guess I've got a looong way to go before being classified as a nut.

I would vote for the switch, and I would also vote that #3 is actually wired first, which is why it always comes on. But, you never know until you check it out.

Dude, I had no idea there were any "progressive" folks left in the UK!

I voted "yes". I'm sure many here are like me and would need wife approval, but I'm certainly in favor of having a fun-filled Saturday/weekend. Also, I would be happy to attend for the price of a BBQ sandwich plate.

Jerry, you and your family are in our prayers. Thanks for the positive notes on Walmart. It is always so encouraging to hear a business provide so much support for an employee and their family.

Dude, sign me up!

I just figured that it was a way for some third world general to always win at chess (note the front sight!)

I am sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in our prayers. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.

No worries. Just tossing out additional possibilities in light of yours and Mike's previous posts about the $15. Maybe for a different month.

There's always Chuck Swan (a little farther away) or Royal Blue (Now North Cumberland - Sundquist Unit). They're free and Royal Blue shouldn't be much farther than Norris.

Sweet! I've got to get me one of them 'mosins.

HAHAHAHA! OK, now you've made me laugh this morning! This thread rocks - if for no other reason than to affirm that I am not quite as geeky as my wife would think.

Congrats! For my piece of advice: From someone who has only been married for 6 years, let me be the first to say that it is ok if you or her feel like you've made the biggest mistake of your life at somepoint in the marriage (both my wife and I have had that feeling - more than once during our first year). Like most things, that feeling will be replaced and your relationship will get better (MUCH better) as time goes by.

Link worked for me. From the looks of it, it appears that the "switch" doesn't and can't move anything on the piece that he is selling. Anyone with more inner workings intelligence see anything of note in the pics?

HAHAHAHAHA! That has put a BIG smile on my face this afternoon. Thanks!

Did "The Body" get them from you in a cage match???
