They should all die exactly the same way their victims did, be resuscitated and the process repeated.  Over and over until their CNS or cardiopulmonary system can no longer sustain life.  And then... life support, and repeat.   When there's nothing remotely resembling a human form left, Hell can have them.

  I've got lots of them.  The vast majority are profanity.  Some of them involve a wood chipper.

I'd like to see them turned over to Gary Christian.

What we got here is... failure to communicate.  :stir:

I will not vote for Christie.  Nor will I vote for Billary.  If he gets the R nomination, we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.  I will vote for whoever the Libertarians run, and pray that there are another 20% that are finally disgusted enough to vote with me.  Then I am going to pray that Texas sees the writing on the wall and withdraws from the Union, so I can move to a country with sensible laws.   I know, it's a pipe dream, but if either of those two get elected in 2016, we are screwed blue and tattooed. :(

Remembering things that make me feel old isn't the problem. Problem is remembering at all.   I do remember buying premium gas for .65 a gallon when I first started driving. And that was for octane much higher than the 93 we have now. I can also remember watching the Three Stoogies every morning on one of the three channels we got. Or when we would ride our bikes to the town hall, which was left open 24 hours, to get a 12 oz bottle of Coke for .15 because it was cheaper than .25 in front of the store. I remember the first sodas with a twist off cap, before that you needed a bottle opener. Or pull tabs on cans that actually came off the can. I cut my feet on more than one occassion while at the lake on them.   I also remember using 5.25" floppy disks and using a hole punch to make it double sided. Or when 8 meg, not gig, of ram or a 40 meg, again not gig, hard drive was considered a lot. I remember buying a 2 meg stick of ram and it cost me $100. I also remember doubling my video memory to 1 meg. But I needed these upgrades to play Duke Nukem with friends on out 14.4 modem. I remember when connecting a 9,600 baud was considered a "high speed" connection. And that I thought we were in heaven when we first connected using our 36.6 modem. Or waiting all night for a file to download that was a single megabyte.   I also remember having a stereo in the house that played 8 track cassettes. It also played vinyl records. I remember watching movies at a neighbors house on the new "laser disk" system. I also remember when VCR's first came out and they were the size of a microwave of today.   I also remember when you could buy a box of 22's as a kid without anyone batting an eye. Or when missing the first day of deer season was considered an excused absence.   But the biggest thing that shows my age is this. When I was younger being on welfare or receiving any type of government benefit was considered embarrassing.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

ill play i get it now you have to be drunk to understand the question , darn you Spots and TrickyNicky and TMF y'all made me spit my crown royal all over my keyboard . Does the light saber burn you when it touches you or some thing ? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xSNubaa7n9o

That's pretty good but I'm gonna have to deduct points. It would have been worth the full score had it been a video of someone throwing a 63' foot axe though. Guess I still win this thread.    Crap, I fold. TMF is the new thread winner.

This story illustrates two truths... The first is that there is a heinous double standard in the media and in society RE:  Black on white crime and it's reporting.  The second is that you had better be armed.    This whole sorry thing did more to arm real people in knoxville and the surrounding area than anything ive ever seen; and i fully understand why. It also emptied the "cup of kindness" for the black community for their silence on this heinous crime.   leroy

Me too! I like them guys... Wish they were my neighbors, other than the beards, they're a lot like me.

Jwk, I don't see the point in trying to salvage the thread, as per the OP his question was only hypothetical & would have had no bearing on any decisions he was planning on making on either his load-out or future purchases. Essentially he is just wasting everyone's time for no real apparent reason other than just because he could. Limited entertainment value aside, I personally see no further purpose to trying to answer his questions.

If you honestly think I'm a bully because I gave you crap over a hypothetical question that was doomed when it was asked simply because of the limitations you applied, then there is no hope. My reputation here stands for itself. I constantly offer to have people come to my place, people I only know from this forum, never met most in person, and learn any skill I can teach them that they may wanna learn. The internet is a wonderful place. These forums have a knack for weeding out people who don't belong quickly. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

How about this...why have public schools at all?   It should be the PARENTS' responsibility to educate their children; either by their own efforts at home or by sending them to private schools...it's not the responsibility of the country to educate every child just because two bio donors got together...schools have become nothing more than daycare facilities and indoctrination centers and most kids who graduate high school today couldn't pass a basic exam given to an 8th grader 50 years ago.

I think that's an argument we don't want to make. There are more than just the Ten Commandments. There's many, many more as I'm sure you know. If we go down that list, and acknowledge the punishment for some of those offenses, it makes the examples you have above look pretty mild. I'm on no way endorsing Islam, but you need to understand many of the same arguments we make about the Quran being full of stories about bloodthirsty savages can be made about the Old Testament. It's a losing argument. How about we just focus on equal freedoms of religious expression for everyone, regardless of what some sheep rapers on the other side of the planet are doing in the name of theirs?

I don't think Christie will get the nomination  I think right now the only thing going on is chatter amongst  the northeast right leaning news organizations who would like to see Christie as the nominee.  We saw the same thing with Fox News and Giuliani.   If I am wrong and he does end up with the nomination, I would go feast on a bucket s*** before even considering to vote for him.

Every deployment I went on included xbox 360's for entertainment. When your on a ship or out in some deseet shit hole, there is no internet. So I guess the military guys would just have to suck it up, since they couldn't be included in "the future" of gamiing. And I still know plenty of people, my parents, sisters, and most of fhe people in the area I grew up in, that don't have internet. I guess they don't deserve playing video games either? Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Neither should be in the school, but they absolutely should not allow one and not the other.  I don't suspect it will be up long.  I think the bigger problem is the same people complaining probably want the 10 Commandments up and not the whatever the Islam one's are.  Can't have it both ways, either they all need to go up or none need to go up.

The one that gets me is the beer sign.  "You must be born on or before today in ... what????   1992??!! 

My truck I just bought has "roll up" windows. My daughter looked confused at the handles and asked what they were for. I explained that was how you roll down the windows. She asked where the buttons were. I told her the handles spun to let down the windows to which she replied " that's weird, I've never seen that before" sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

I remember when Saturday morning cartoons were funny.

  "Old fashioned way" is a paper 4473 and a phone call. Only waiting period is the time on hold.   - OS

The banana hammocks are a big seller this year.

Crackdown is kind of silly, but still fun to play through IMO ... especially free.

Lol, it probably didn't pop anyone's bubble.  Some people are going to hate cops and authority no matter how many facts get in their way.   I've started picturing Alex Jones as an evil SouthPark character.  Its much more fun and believable that way. :koolaid:

  Speaking of wood chippers...

  You just gave me a good visual. Balls first. May have to break a few things to get them in the chute.

"This is just icing on the tip of an iceburg"

I'm just finishing "Surviving Home" by A.American (see post #62 for link). Excellent Book! I'm impressed.   I have book one of the "Holding Their Own" by Joe Nobody coming by weeks end. Thanks for the recommendations folks. :pleased:

Loading 30-06 did not chamfer case mouth. Thanks

  Do you read threads before you post? I said early on that Streamlights were rumored to be OK. I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to give you ####. It's a character flaw :)   And BTW... trade your Glocks in on some Bersas. They're just as good :)

Guess this could give you something to do with your 300blk brass after the necks split.

Hamilton Bowen lives in Louisville. At least his shop is there. David Keith owns the farm right across the river from ours in Monroe Co.

Playboy did an article about this not long ago, some of the crimes that are resulting in deportation include speeding and other minor crap. If I remember correctly, a few were deported for crimes (drug use I think it was) committed before they even served in the military. Seems they were promised citizenship and forgiveness when they signed up, and then were used overseas and now being thrown away. I am all for deporting illegals. But if someone comes here and is willing to place their life on the line for this country then it doesn't seem right to deport them for minor incidents, especially when there are millions of other illegals running around who did not serve.

Yep, was screen printed with Skittles images, and cost way too much money. Some Zman impersonator snatched it and run off. Now I'm stuck wearing nothing but my TM tm'd hoodie. Now my boys get cold! I sure miss that thing!   DaveS

I am so old, I really do know better.

  Ive read stories like this as well funny thing is the same drug from the same manufacturer is sold in Mexico for $100 a dose and even in the US anti venom is typically sold to hospitals for around $4,000 a dose but when asked how much they charge a patient for the dose figures rose to 2-3 times that amount on average and some reported as high as $40,000+ a dose. 

Don't kid yourself. When something goes bump in the night, you're barely going to be able to think straight enough to grab your gun, much less the light that mostly sits beside the gun, but gets used for other stuff around the house, too. A light is just like a gun. If you don't have it when you need it, you're not going to get a second chance. That's why my goto Glock 19 and my Kimber Warrior both wear X300s full time. If you're considering a light, consider a weapon mounted light. If you're thinking about going for one, save your pennies and get an x300 or x300u. They're worth it. As far as real tactical lights go, there's surefire and "kind of like a surefire." It's them vs. everyone else. I'm a light junkie. I've got all kinds of lights including some great cheap handhelds. But, there's no way I'm sticking one of those on my weapon. My life and my family's life is worth that consideration.

All this chit chat back and forth and no one bothered to post the report?  Just the info wars BS.......unsurprising.   My first response was to wonder what the hell the officer was thinking.  Then I thought that there had to be more to the initial, inflammatory story.  Sure enough...  http://www.oregon.gov/osp/NEWSRL/Pages/news/06_21_2013_i5_taser_use_statement.aspx.   Foggy areas in Oregon, especially on 5, are no joke.  And some people still drive stupid through them. 

Cute little puppy. That is new on me. Will have to add it the list.

  Oh, I respect Grylls' personal badassery, physical strength and abilities.  I just think of him as more of an extreme wilderness adventurer/thrill seeker, not really a 'survivalist' in any way that could practically be adapted by the average person.  I mean, sure, a guy who has trained to parachute into remote areas and conditioned his body against the elements could probably do just fine jumping off of a waterfall into the pool, below, if the fall presented an obstacle to his journey.  I, on the other hand, could expect to break a leg (if not my neck) and die either from the fall or from the hypothermia experienced when my broken leg made it impossible to get out of the cold water.  An ex-special forces thrill seeker probably could cross a deep gorge by going hand-over-hand across a tree limb or something.  I, on the other hand, would be treated to a long fall ending with a sudden 'splat'.  In other words, trying to keep up with him in a survival situation would get me killed.  It would be like me saying to John Rambo, "Hey, let's go hiking, sometime."   Stroud, on the other hand - while undoubtedly 'tougher' than your average person - is not 'superhuman', appears to be genuinely trying to hone survival skills rather than thrill seeking and generally did not take unnecessary risks on his show and cautioned others against doing so.  He certainly wasn't 'timid' about doing what had to be done but was a lot more practical about the risks of injury in a survival situation and realizing that such risks should be avoided when possible.

Gallatin Gun Club has a upcoming 3 gun event for your consideration       October 12, 2013 3-Gun IMG Rules     rstanley runs a great match there in Gallatin.

Not burning bridges is damn good advice; most especially so when he hasn't tried to build any yet. ;)

Just like I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the officers, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the parents. I have two nephews who are on the extreme end of the autism spectrum. While their parents have yet to experience something as dramatic as this, I can imagine as the children get older new challenges will present themselves. Although this girl may have been low functioning, she is still in the body of an 11 year old. She is stronger, faster and likely has better motor skills than a three year old. I can't imagine how difficult that would be to prevent every possible danger to that child. These parents have to sleep at some point. Perhaps they have an alarm system to detect the child opening doors. For all we know the power went out, or a battery died. I don't know. What I do know is that bad things happen to even the most responsible people who do their best to plan for every possible scenario. I know there are members here who have children that are somewhere on the spectrum. This right here must be the worst nightmare for parents who have one or more children who are considered impaired to the point of requiring constant care and supervision. I think folks, like myself, who don't live that life should have a hard time judging those parents.

Try not breaking the law and you might not have a negative experience. Funny how people complain after they have broken the law. I am a critic of bad officers but a officer writing you a speeding ticket is not a bad officer nor is it the officer's fault. Trust me when I say the vast majority of officers would rather not stop anyone and put their lives at risk.   Tasers help prevent injuries everyday and not just those from gun shot wounds. It prevents injuries that occur when chasing bad guys. It prevents injuries that occur when officers have to fight people for control. I would support using a taser over fighting or chasing a bad guy any day of the week. And any injuries caused to the bad guy during the use of the taser is not the officer's fault but the bad guys fault. They should have not chose to run or fight.   As far as the child a taser can go 20+ feet and an 11 year old with a 20' lead can probably out run a cop for 2x times that if they are in half way decent shape. That is 40' and if the girl was within than 40' range of the highway the taser may have saved her life. If you take an overweight, out of shape officer and pit them against most 11 year olds the child will run circles around them.

This happened in June or July. IIRC it was a female police officer and they thought she was on drugs because she was naked and did not respond to the police.

This could go on for a while.  Maybe we should have subcategories for best movie for a particular war.  Like, best Revoutionary War movie.  Hmm, The Patriot?  Mel Gibson as Ye Olde Road Warrior.

Secrets.  Nothing good happens with politicians behind closed doors.
