My parents live Northeast of there.

Are you talking in the '90's? Are you fucking kidding? Why was our military over there then? Why was Sarejevo a smoking ruin in the years after the Olympics? Am I way off base here? I could be. You are way off bae Sarajevo is in the Balkans in a different nation. The Czech Republic has Prague, and Slovakia has Bratislava. Edit: Note to self... read entire post before pointing out the obvious flaw in someone's ignorant post. Yah, what a dork! hahaha. Thanks for playing Blake. Does it make you feel bad that so many people knew what you didn't, and you're the one who brought it up to prove a point? No. I'm okay with the fact that there's lots of shit I don't know/remember. I learned something I didn't know through this thread, so that's a good thing. Does it make you feel bad that your education didn't teach you reading comprehension and you basically said the same thing someone else said over 24 hours ago? Toddle off to recess, now, junior.

Comical that the bastian of peace-niks is performing research for the Defense Department. Bwahahahaha!!! Fucking sellouts.

The sad thing is that they all think that this is their job. Except keeping us safe, give companies the freedom to be profitable.

I can't believe how much this album sucked ass. Sorry, my opinion. Right now I'm listening to OffWhite's compilation.

This is common practice, dude.

The thing I hate about those tests is that I am on the fence about some of the answers. I mean, it could change slightly from week to week.

"That's handier than a pocket on a shirt!"

ISTJ "Loves guns, hates liberal wankers and politically correct Seattle-ites" Wow, that's accurate stuff for four simple questions.

"Busier than a cranberry merchant" - my blessed Grandmother said that to me twice last night. Who knew that cranberry mercantilism was so stressful? Not me, but I'll be using it.

Good eye, dude. Except her gear is marked differently and I know schnitzem (there can be only one).

Check out "South of Heaven" - it kills. Checked in on some Metallica on the drive in, "...And Justice For All".

Some old Slayer (totally rockin', what else is there to say?), STP (mixing it up), Sanctuary (good steady metal, great singer, solid sound), excerpts from Verdi's "La Traviata" (might go see it). How's that chuck?

Great, more uneducated drivel from idiot-boy. In your world it looks like we all should just roll over and take whatever the government doles out. As far as the effectiveness of firepower, consider that approximately 2 million potential crimes are averted by citizens possessing guns for personal protection. I won't bother citing this statistic from John Lott, Jr., noted economist, as you will all decry it as NRA-funded propaganda. We won't convince each other, so I'll stop responding to you now. rbw - what you discuss re: the choice to enter military service is a personal choice and decision that I am not willing to get into in this venue.

Citations please? Not that I disagree, because I don't, but I'd be interested in reading these cases. This article contains a fair list of cases where this has been addressed and ruled on.

Okay, so color me stupid. I don't know that the Czechs and Slovaks have any great love for each other; isn't there some sort of ethnic battle going on? How was said peace maintained if not with force, guns, or troops?

Citations please? Not that I disagree, because I don't, but I'd be interested in reading these cases. Seems to me though that someone so ardently in favor of protecting the liberties of american citizens would be willing to actually put his ass on the line, money where his mouth is so to speak, and join the military. Until then its just double-speak for wanting to play with bang-bangs. I'll find the case; it happened back East. The military was not on my path; something I regret at times. What I hear you saying is that because I haven't served, I have no right to ardently believe, or speak about, personal freedom and the defense of same? This doesn't make sense to me, as protection of personal liberties is inherently PERSONAL (in my view). Are you relegating the defense of your rights to the government? Do you think they are the best one's to hold that trust? Greg_W

That skirts the issue of securing my PERSONAL liberty, and the ways I choose to do that. And don't fall back on "that's what the police are for." Becuase they are not. Case law supports the assertion that the local police ARE NOT responsible for your personal safety or security.

No harm intended, bro; just funnin' ya. Hope you make it.

How do you think people enforce their liberty? How do you think the brave souls who fought for the ideal of life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness in this country won their liberty? WITH GUNS. With force. With the staunch belief and resolve that freedom was worth the sacrifice. How can you restrict liberty in such a way? Your statement implies that all are entitled to liberty, but not the freedom to choose how to defend that liberty. So, which is it? Are you going to tell me I'm free but bind my hands when it comes to how I fight when that freedom is threatened? One final thought, you are right in that they should not be equated with each other, per se. However, you need one to guarantee the other. Greg_W

Well in a way I am a two planker too, since I do ski uphill. So, you're really like a snowsport-hermaphrodite.

Take out the trash on-time and hide out in the garage for the rest of the week, dude.
