  1. And in the end, it only took us as far as a Hollywood soundstage. :tinfoil:
  2. I am a certified Apple fanboy and after seeing some folks talk about issues they're having with this release of iOS and iTunes in particular, I will not be downloading this update.
  3. I had a similar issue when I got one when they were brand new. Not a fan of the PT709.
  4. He's about to get another chance at it. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt4189022/
  5. No, but he did use his head!
  6. What Are We Celebrating? In 1776, few imagined or looked to a future of central banks, massive national standing armies, or a federal legal system that regulated the daily lives of Americans down to the most minute details. In fact, had the typical Revolutionary War soldier been told that such a future awaited his country, he would have likely gone home immediately, as such a future would likely appear even worse to him than staying subject to the British Crown’s benign neglect. https://mises.org/library/five-laws-repeal-independence-day
  7. Folks with money have been doing that with ever greater numbers.
  8. I think you slightly misunderstood what I was saying. If your gun handling becomes unsafe due to alcohol impairment, you are unsafe with either the gun by itself or you are unsafe with the alcohol by itself. I recommended figuring out which one it was and eliminating that. The implication was more along the lines of folks having more of an issue with alcohol than they think.
  9. While analogous in some ways, it isn't really an equal comparison. Alcohol has a diminishing effect on the human body in two ways. It diminishes judgment and it diminishes motor control, both fine and gross. I would rate the loss of those three things thusly. Diminished fine motor control Diminished judgement Loss of fine motor control/diminished gross motor control Loss of judgement Loss of gross motor control The primary issue folks have with mixing alcohol and firearms is diminished judgement. If you drink to the point that your judgement is diminished enough to make you a danger with a gun, you are a danger without a gun. Many folks have diminished fine motor control due to myriad reasons such as physical maladies or age. That doesn't make them inherently unsafe with a firearm, just maybe less accurate. One doesn't really become physically unsafe to handle a firearm until they begin to lose gross motor control. Cars are a bit different. Operating a car can become dangerous for others as soon as one experiences diminished fine motor control. Slowed reaction times, the ability to keep hands steady/feet firmly on the pedal with the proper amount of force. These are all examples of diminished fine motor skills that make not just drunk folks dangerous in a car, but seniors or folks with certain disabilities as well. One may be physically unable to safely operate a car well before one loses the ability to make good judgements on how to safely operate it. *For simplicity's sake let me say that I am considering the reduction of mental acuity in the ability to process and react to stimuli to be a symptom of diminished physical ability as opposed to a symptom of diminished judgment. Diminished judgement is the increased likelihood of engaging in "hey y'all, watch this!" type of behavior.*
  10. I would agree and don't see any conflict in our statements. I would even go so far to say that your statement can be used to support my position.
  11. I take a slightly different position. Legalities aside, if you having a few drinks makes you unsafe around a firearm, you were already unsafe around one independent of the other. It is best to find out which and eliminate it from your life.
  12. Flamethrower is the bouncer's nickname.
  13. This. Almonds can't produce milk anymore than I can. :dirty:
  14. You know me, I'm not picky. I'll take either or any variation in between. :lol:
  15. Beefalo? Is that when you're getting some beef on the down low?
  16. I'm only home in Memphis 4 days a month. :cry:   It does seem like a self correcting problem to me as well.
  17. I bet it will be soon if it isn't already.
  18. You know you can tell it's a 70's porno? His dick has sideburns.
  19. So what you're saying is to stop in Brentwood and get my blow on the way in?
  20. But I don't go to those places. I do go to Clarksville. :rofl:
  21. So you are saying that when I am in Clarksville I can get my blow pretty much wherever in the rest of Clarksville, but I should get my hookers close to the base?
