Could that be the hot new Renton granite everyone is discussing?

I disagree with what I think you are suggesting for two reasons. (1) those gun people are full of dookie and they have blood on their hands, a lack of self-esteem, and I hate them - those little complainers (waah waah waah, the liberals want to take away our rights...) and (2) this an important issue that bears discussion even if it becomes a circular one. I think you just turned it into a circle. I'll re-read it.

I (almost) was having hot smokin sex with a young chick who was not my wife...God it was great. Then I woke up.

Uhhh, he just did.

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by ZUFFA,, LLC" Damn, not available. Maybe we have to watch Tookie Williams getting executed again or sumpin?

My wife just ran her motorcycle up onto the curb the other day barely missing the neighbors cars. She's still learning. I don't want to show her those images.

I thank you for the “you exemplify the "let's talk it out" approach crucial to democratic government” comment. I think that our system is one of the best in the world. There are plenty of faults, but I do not see a political system designed which I would rather live under. I have had many discussions with communists in the US who believe they can violently overthrow this system and once in power, they can make the US a paradise. However, they are sorely short of both details and real world examples when you press them on it. Pointing out the places this has been tried like the Soviet Union ad Cuba only angers them. I'd like you to reflect on this for a bit: lets imagine that historical moment of August 1974 wherein a president, caught breaking the law, deceided, under his own free will, to "resign the presidency effective tomorrow". Close your eyes and think of this. Imagine instead of that outcome, several possible other scenarios which might have existed with an unarmed population, but a still armed, political crony infested military, instead. Do you think that had he had the military support and the population had been unarmed (or regulated) some twisted Dick would have happily voluntarily stepped down for the public good, or instead perhaps he might have more likely pulled an ace out of the sleeve and declared an emergency, ala a North American junta with “Dick for Life” as a possible slogan. There are plenty of real world instances outside to the US of this very kind of thing actually happening, and not just discussing every other 3rd world country in sub-sarharan Africa and South America either. Think Weimar republic for instance, one of the most pure republics and fair political systems invented. Those with the guns get the power, as those in the Polish Ghetto later discovered. See Polish Ghetto mention above and we can discuss how that worked out for them; I can start dragging up many, many, many very similar instances. Here’s the bottom line for me Ivan: I trust you, I trust Fairweather, I trust everyone I personally know, much more than I trust politicians. I understand that many, many Senators and Congressmen are very altruistic and pure in their motives. They are hard working, smart and sacrifice so that the public good can be accomplished. They truly want what is best for the common good and for the country. However, it only takes one rat turd to stink up the sugar bowl, and if you look closely, you will see that the many of the types of people who are attracted to that kind of power repeatedly demonstrate things, which clearly show that they should not be trusted with it. They play subtle power games, trying to eliminate opponents and insert cronies to broaden their political strength. They repeatedly play petty power trips, which are at best only self serving and at worst ruinous to the majority of our country. All for their own little twisted power-play-mentality reasons. Think about the kind of politican I am describing and you can see them acting out for their own self interest in ways that still surprise and shocks normal people, were it not becoming so commonplace. I do not trust that kind of person. I trust the kind of people who would not want to seek that kind of power in the first place because they are normal. As a group, the kind who you know, love and work with for instance. The kind on this board. Think about the mindset which can draw a person into that kind of position. You want them to be in control of your life? I don't. I trust you, and the people I know. I do not trust them. It’s that simple.

It underlying true importance of ownership of guns weapons has nothing to do with self protection from Indians or Meth freaks or hunting Bambi. It is this single thing, of the highest importance in ALL of our lives, but like good health: not enjoyed until it is gone. So I will put it in bold for you all. POLITICAL FREEDOM Those who have the weapons get to make the rules. Period. I want that to be the people. PERIOD.

How very nice. Thanks for the help.

I've been tasked with buying the best color printer in the world. Like right now. Rather than cut into my F*ck off time, thought I'd just ask ya all. Pretty savy folks out there. I'm thinking $1000 limit on price though, and it would be nice to have low expense rate, and long lasting color. Help? What do you guys know about this? BTW, need 2 flat screen monitors too. 1 cheap and 1 high end. Thoughts?

I did not see any fish there. Possibly. I wonder if all file types are supported?

It's finally working, thanks

Again with the : "Sorry the file requested can not be found. Perhaps you have lost your way? Maybe you should of brought an MLU or a PLB." I'm gonna either put the metal in my mouth and kiss the sweet taste of cordite or go away for a while. Hmmmmm, easy choice. Bye bye.

"Sorry the file requested can not be found. Perhaps you have lost your way? Maybe you should of brought an MLU or a PLB." Sorry, resised it offsite and it still is unco-operative.

Well sure. I mean, who isn't? Life isn't easy or pretty, but it's easy to confiscate the Pot, give the lecture about drugs, and then smoke it yourself eh? I think the importnat thing is keeping the lines of communication open, and not being to much of a hypocrite.

WELL, THATS A GODDAMN FABRICATION. BTW, curious how many subway Sarin Gas attacks has the US had recently?

Trying to tell you that it doesn't work Oly. Its easy to uplaod pics, its not working now. this is what I get with a pic of a squirel with large testicals: 404 Snaffle not found "Sorry the file requested can not be found. Perhaps you have lost your way? Maybe you should of brought an MLU or a PLB."

Good point. If it is crank, say, and not Coke, I say confiscate it and ring me up stat. Nothing wrong with getting a buzz on and losing 5 lbs eh?

ummm, yeah, the cams were awefriggansome, but the body was weak and not willing...:-( I'm hoping it's just an early season trip....but it could be an age thing/early season trip coupled with the kinds of climbs I naturally do poorly on (steep climbs). BUT, the cams were tried out by 3 people on lead (no falls on em, I think that may be due to lack of trust:-) ) and loved by all, with a comment or 2 on the weight.

BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH. No way dude. Ya gonna ruin some kids life over this? Just confiscate the Coke and give me a call. That so hard to understand? Shit. BTW, I have a 21 Year old and a 16 going on 17 year old, so don't play the morality card with me OR my nose. BTW as parents and adults, I think it's our perogotive and job to snoop.

Having been a boy earlier I can assure you they were not thinking at all. This is just the way of the world. We use to do all kinds of rude shit to each other....ant try not to get caught...and we all survived and grew up despite it all. _________________________________________________________________ BTW, Ivan, the highlight of my day now is the vision of what MAY have been on the ipod you grabbed, thanks for sharing.

Gimme a ring when you confiscate the coke and then we'll have somthing to talk and be buddies about. Till then, ahhh, just kids being kids. Hand it back with a wink and and a stern look say "better keep better tabs on what goes on there, and please, for your sake, don't pull that out again in class". "Are we clear here young lady"? Nice memories I'll bet.

Dude, if yer takin the dude who pops the beer cap off with his teeth, I think you're talkin Lenord Coyne there, hardly an old drunk hippy:-)

Muffy lighten up some, he's not dissing you or your boyfriend. Rocky was doing shitloads of 1 armed pushups. Pretty amazing. But that was just pretend, a movie. Your boyfriend must be pretty damn strong. I bet it shocked him too, to have something like that happen, it's so wildly out there its shocking: glad he's recovering. Hopefully you have him back doing pushups again already. 8D Edited to add: there is NOTHING that sucks worse than bad back pain IMO, I'm including falling 80 feet and bouncing off of ledges on the way too.
