I agree with public and swift executions. As far as public, not everyone HAS to watch, but knowing whats happening might bring about some curiosity to those that might have the same fate. Quick executions would definitely deter those committing the worst crimes. It's no secret that a lot of people feel they can beat the system. Even if they lose the first time they appeal so many times. How many years do people have to wait on death row before it's done? I read somewhere its like $50,000 to house them? My grandmother was killed by a man she had stopped seeing. She was shot in her home with my mom, aunt, uncles, and a friend coming to her aid and seeing the man flee through the front door. On his way down the stairs he shot another man in the face several times. My grandmother told them goodbye and that she was going to heaven and how great of parents they'd be some day. They were told to shut the door, call the police, and not come back in.... she loved them. The man was convicted and served 3 years before being released. I have a friend who's dad was stabbed 30-40 times in the chest and back. His murderer was let free because it was "self defense," even though he didn't have a single mark on him. If people knew that if they murdered they would be killed the same day convicted, it would put a little more fear in them. The same with arming every household. If you increase their chance of death, you decrease the chance of crime, especially repeats at least!

I find quite a few things wrong with their church, but a good deed is a good deed. They should be giving up a lot of those trinkets they worship. How much would that throne bring for the starving in Darfur?

From what I've read it's to protect what's to be a sacred day. I guess they feel that people should be in church rather than drinking. The Blue Laws have been around since the at least the mid 1700s. I am Christian and attend church weekly, hopefully more than once, and don't understand it. While I wish for more to go, laws like this seem to hurt rather than help to me.

Someone's already called it! Lol If I remember correctly, it had some affiliation with fire department stuff.... I just don't remember the user.....

I think no one is doing anything because most won't. A lot of people run their mouths, but when they're told to shut up, they shut up. Lol I think if a riot did start, it would grow... When does mob mentality take place, 3 people or 5?

Glad to see you're getting better! I was wondering how you were doing just this morning!

Go to Goodwill to find a suit to take to John H. Daniel! There's a Burlington something way up on Kingston pike I believe..... I think a huge part is your build. I know some dudes that can rock a JCP suit without alterations..... Me not so much.... It's all in the tailoring and accessories.

I step away to get a little work done and all the excitement happens..... I wonder if he was thinking YOLO!

Oh yeah! I remember that know! I was even in a picture I believe! Lol That makes my day! My daughter is only 4. Maybe too much of an age gap but they may hit it off. I'll have to see if Kylie will make it as the time draws nearer! Maybe they can have a "Brave" moment and shoot my old stick bow. Lol

Awesome! I may have my little girl along with me for at least part of it duration. I don't know if she'd be thrilled for most of it as she's a girly girl most of the time, but she has forged out some knives from 3" cut nails! That would be great! I can definitely bring my forge. It's pretty small. I don't make large blades so I have a small propane forge. I really enjoy teaching what I know, especially to kids. I wasn't sure if anyone would have kids, so I didn't want to give the impression that it was completely toned down to the point adults would feel odd, then no kids show up! Lol I think anything we can learn in first aid may come in handy. Just look at Boston, we never know! How old's your son?

That is HILARIOUS! It great to see someone with forum power have a sense of humor. Usually you see people just get banned.... Awesome....

Meh, looks like my guest bedroom, except I do have a bigger Tv, my telephone is cordless, and less space on the walls..... If I had one of these rooms, I'd walk around with a picture in my wallet next to my wife and kid's......

Yes. I don't own the land, he'll have final say, but I know the guy well and have seen him host many events. We share the same viewpoint on almost every matter. I'm confident what I say, he'll approve. My main concern is everyone behaves themselves. I don't mind beer around the campfire, as long as people can drink in moderation. I was a bouncer for a few years, I know how quickly people get ignorant and angry while drinking. We don't need any of that. If those people do start drinking, plan on spending the night. This is one of the owners personal rules. He's had friends killed while DUI and doesn't want that on him. As far as other things are concerned, more "natural" therapy, do it so that no one knows. " look for something in your car" or " use the bathroom" so that the rest of the group isn't bothered. I couldn't care less, but some people may feel uncomfortable. I'm a pretty laid back Christian kind of guy, but I know plenty of people who can enjoy these things in private and moderation.... Also, I try not to cuss. I am not offended by those that do. If kids are present, be respectful. You can make up for it after they leave or go to bed if you have to. Lol This is also not directed at UncleJak personally! I know it seems like I am telling him what he can do, it was for everyone, he just asked the excellent question!

Lets say June 1-2. It's a Saturday/Sunday in about six weeks. Lets drum up some folks that know a bunch of stuff and are willing to teach a session. UncleJak was kind enough to step up and offer some knowledge to those that care to learn. I'll do what I can, though my knowledge is book taught and "in theory." This can be a 2 day event or we can knock it out in one. One day can be for lying and shooting and the next for teaching and learning. You can come for both or either one. Camping is welcome, but bathrooms will probably be of the "natural" variety... I'd like to cover Various fire making techniques. Flint and steel, fire piston, steel wool and battery, etc Where to find water and safe ways of treating it. What you might want to pack into your bugout bags and share what we each have in ours. The importance of regulating body temperature- It's natures #1 killer! Shelters... Basically, I want to cover the rule of 3s. 3hours without shelter 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food... This stuff is pretty basic, we've all at least read about it, but its always good to practice. I'd like if someone had medical experience to share some dos and donts associated with common wounds. Maybe CPR stuff. Stuff we may come I contact with. I'm not looking for certication but, I'd like to know what to do JIC. Ill bring my anvil and forge if anyone would like to try some primitive knife making. It needs to be resurfaced, but it should work... I have traditional and compound bows I can bring if there's interest. I also have a slingshot I shoot arrows from... Maybe some knife and tomahawk throwing! Has anyone done some gun training and would like to pass on some advice? I've always wanted to attend a seminar, but just CANNOT afford it. I know it's worth it, especially if the time I should need it, but I just can't spend it right now...

It will definitely be somewhere in east tennesse or I will more than likely not be able to make my own gathering. Lol Is there anything anyone would like to brush up on or learn in preticular? Does anyone have knowledge other may find useful?

Will do! We have 6 people interested so far! Not a bad start!

I also thought about hiding things and giving people a map and compass to find them. Like, giving people direction to the first hiding spot that hold the second spot's coordinates. It might take a little larger parcel of land for it worth it though....

It getting warm again ladies and gents. (Just in case some of you whackos have quite going outside!) I am hoping to get together with some folks again to discuss various things that we hold in common interest. I see people buying/building some pretty neat gadgets. We all know the biggest benefit to these things is showing them off to your peers! Lets get together and show off and demonstrate our newest acquirements! I made a BioSand filter a couple weeks ago. They're pretty easy but I can show people how its done by building one at the meet up. These things are used all over the world, pretty cheap and easy to make, and must work. We can try to teach/learn various skills that might come in handy. It can be anything from tanning your own leather to balancing a checkbook. If you'd like to show how to do it, and someone wants to learn, let's do it! I will demo the sand filter and possibly bring my forge/anvil if anyone wants to make a primitive knife! That's what it's all about, each person possibly passing on a little something they've picked up. I'd like to know more about: 1.) Medical related things- CPR, wound dressing, etc... 2.) Cleaning animals 3.) * long range and defensive handgun shooting 4.) And it never hurts to go over fire starting, water procurement, and edible plants/animals Some folks may be like me. I have a dozen books and infinite bookmarks online, but seldom actively practice these skills. We all know, without practicing it doesn't mean much. I may have a place to hold this unless someone will be interested in showing some long range skills. If so, we'd have to find a larger venue. I am not opposed to moving this to someone else property for the benefit of the group. This also might be a good place for some tannerite destruction if its not too soon. I know some folks can't have too much fun too close together. We could also do some trading, camping, singing, etc.... I was never able to be a Boy Scout..... Also, maybe a shooting contest. We can go .22 so it's cheap. I can bring one .22 with steel sights. If more people brought their's with different sight configurations we can draw straws to choose. It'd be fun to have a red dot, scope, laser, NO SIGHT! Just to mix it up....Prize may be a box of .22 (basically gold if you can even find them) or everyone can bring something outdoorsy to throw the pot. Anyway, open to thoughts and suggestions.... We can get a time nailed down in a bit once interest is shown. For the sake of logistics lets say end of May - mid June.

I'd just hate to kill somebody, and somebody try to give an inanimate object the credit. Ah, he didn't mean to shoot those people. He liked horror films, fast food, sleeping late, stroking his beard, rock and roll music, long walks on the beach, sunsets, fluffy bunnies, the smell of the inside of fake legs, the suns gentle embrase the first warm day of spring, and he was over weight- ANY of THOSE things did it, not him! No, when someone's time comes by hand, it will be because I have decided it so- not my music, movies, or beard...... It kills me how far some people will go...

One day, Ill put a yellow cup on a cheese grater and Ill be rich too.....

What if one day, they arrived with a gun.....THAT SHOT KNIVES! AR-15" KABAR! Now there's a movie........

I love how the chick sometimes has 50 guys that are "possible" fathers, she's certain each one is the father, and none of them ever are. How worthless the chick must be to have that many people fit into the time frame.... and had to have started forgetting people! If my kids turn out like that, I'd probably go on a killing spree myself! I won't use anything "deadly" to give us a bad rep. No gun or anything, maybe glitter and hard pillows..... Ban that Feinstein!

For those that might not know, she first gained publicity from her sex tape. I dispose all these people. Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, the teen mom shows....... These people are trash....... Makes me wish for the zombie apocalypse....

Great, that would have been too easy! Lol I just hate it when I ask what kind of AR that is, and 5 minutes later while still naming off brands it's consisted of, I couldn't care less anymore. I'll just start looking for what appeals to me....

Ah, I just wanted to make sure they made everything. I like uniformity. I wanted everything to match and maybe purchase the parts early should the cash present itself. That's ok, I don't have money for the other parts right now anyway. I'm glad so many people are on board!
