We're picking up speed! I'm not relegated to the hope that others fail just so that I can succeed. What I'm getting from some of your words isn't that we should allow others to succeed, but that we should make them succeed. I'm generous, and I'm patient. I help those who want to move ahead when I ca...

Its an endless lawyering to grind out the difference between what two words might mean. What makes a "better school" better? Is it the better funding? or is it a different culture within that school? Its the culture within the school. And the school has NO culture during the summer months,...

Dave - Fight it, man! Fight it! Hang on to your free-will with both hands. If your response to my post was a product of your environment, then I guess you had no choice. What's the difference between a marionette and a puppeteer? The one who pulls harder. The power of the marionette puppeteer isn't ...

I don't see how you responded so fast. I've had phone calls that aren't as time-efficient as this exchange (keep it light - remember what forum we're in). In England several decades ago, their was a proposal to put up some light-houses. One sociologist in particular railed against it. His argument w...

"Mental masturbation". Hehe, I'm hung like a gnat. Knowledge is a ladder - the higher rungs accessible only through the use of lower rungs. Its not ego to say that education is a product of my own brilliance (I am brilliant), it would be ego to say that my knowledge is self-obtained (I am ...

Holy hell, Batman, put on your waders - its a s--t storm! What can be said that hasn't been said yet? There is one undeniable truth that a thread such as this will show innocent readers. You can not make a stupid person smart; you can not make an irrational person rational. So much to cover, so litt...

the answer to your question, "Do they give awards for real nice butts?" is, "Yes, they do give awards for that."

I personally give a baby to every woman who lets me judge their wares (waiting time is approximately 9 months).

I don't have a garage. I have an air-conditioned safe. My safe is so big I park in the safe. I guess that technically it means I do have an air conditioned garage - but by the same token, since my safe is my garage, I don't have a safe. I just keep my guns in the garage. Damnedest thing is, I had to...

Sorry to have mislead certain readers to this topic with an unintentional false promise of information. Truth is; I'm seeking information. I see TTI 158 gr FMJ subsonic at Impact Guns, and I see pretty standard 147 gr FMJ subsonic most everywhere else. What is the difference.. specifically ? I know ...

San Antonio Texas is not all over the world. There are regions outside of the US laws. Greez What's not to understand? The hell of misunderstanding "here", is that I didn't say it - it was written. If its not clear, go and re-read it. What I said was, "Its not legal here". Here....

What would be the point of a hand-held minigun? The higher rate of fire is a curse because of the excessive amount of ammunition required to be carried. As far as it being "torquey", a counter rotating collar can be attached to offset this force, so the twisting isn't such a relevant force...

For a government that is "for the people", our care-takers have failed miserably in social programs designed to prevent the fabulously wealthy from falling through the cracks - sometimes into states of almost "upper middle class" There are soup-kitchens for the poor, and that's a...

I want to copy-and-paste an excerpt. Officer #1: What privacy? Not when you're out in public, you don't have the right to privacy. This is a foundational argument that, unfortunately, works against the officer himself. As I understand it, if its in a public place, there is a "zero-expectation o...

I love the term "fucktard" - too rarely do we get to use and hear it; this is just such an occassion. Didn't this happen in that sorry movie "Judge Dredd"? Hasn't Sly shown us the error of this system? What's next, built-in fingernail clippers that attach a sample of the shooter'...

Bersa makes a dandy little .22, then sells it under the "Firestorm" banner in the US. It looks very much like an old Walther PPK, but of course, it fires .22s. This IS a silencer forum, so I have to ask; how would someone go about affixing a suppressor to this gun? From what I can see, the...

I agree on the Clive Owen comment - I get the impression he'd be a stellar Bond. I like Craig Daniels just fine, but his frame and physique (Daniels) suggests the possibility of a slightly larger weapon. Comments against a full-size (Glock 17, Sig 226) are in line with my own thinking - for stealthy...

See the thing with nutball liberals is that the argument you think would work, doesn't. There was this movie with Richard Dreyfus decades ago where he kept betting and winning at the race track. One of the clips showed him polling dozens of different people about which horse would win. Then Richard ...

I don't know that there is any possibility of justification - so I don't ask to defend or vindicate. But is there a known motive for the shooter's action? Again, lest I be unnecessarily blasted; I don't seek to empathize, only to understand. People like this killer are created for a specific role. R...

I've been looking into a G22. So far, the information is positive. Although it has less 3rd party/aftermarket support when compared to a Ruger 10/22. Its shorter size, however, lends itself well to a suppressor.

I lost my family to the Tweety-bird massacre of 97'. It isn't funny. I'm not a vigilante - nor do I support it. I do wonder, though, if a series of Palestinian/Israeli attacks happen here, where our malls are blown up every other week for a few months - would we as a country eventually digress to ly...

Not to argue for the sake of arguing, Microguy, but a "tweety-bird" keychain is not peanuts. It is a huge problem in the US right now.

I don't have a kid, but if I did and he had a Tweety-bird keychain, I'd have to throw him a beating. Just my opinion.

The Chinese military is the same as the Chinese police. That is to say; they use their military in lieu of police and prison gaurds and baliffs - etc. If you were to look at our total number of troops and then add all of our police and constables and sheriffs and baliffs and prison gaurds and... We'...

I live in Texas, 60 miles south of Austin which is San Antonio. I've visited California and found that people there tend to be less civil than Texas overall. I know that while we facing a burgeoning tumor of liberalism (it really is a cancer), I know that we are still better off than California. I b...

The very first plot by the Ahmish to gain power was with the year 2000 switch-over. Their original plot was to - in one fell swoop - destroy our computing infrastructure. Then, using a mixture of cotton gins and horse-drawn carriages, over-run the US with their high tech "low technology". ...

"First round pop" comes from the small amount of ambient Oxygen that is inside of the can being ignited by excess unburned powder. A longer barrel will burn a little more of the powder - you'll still get a first-round-pop - that's just the way it is. But the problem might be exacerbated by...
