Maybe you might be suprised how many responsible gun owners and collectors have been in the military or highly trained for government contract work or just enthusiasts that went out and got trained. I know some verry smart people that collect and invest in firearms ( some are even Liberals). :wave:...

I do remember a little something about a " well regulated militia" whippin the stuffin out of a bunch of stuffy Brit's! :monkey: :stoned: Those militia lasted less than six months before a the rebels could set up a proper army. Also, the English couldn't send their army in full force to f...

and about how the government will always have to put a grandfather clause in for all the guns already owned that will now be illegal. It would be amusing that the ban was renewed and that grandfather clause was not included :mrgreen: Mao was a typical tyrant. He disarmed the Chinese people and then...

Hmm. I'm not sure everyone is accurate. Looking at that, a woman could not survive on breast milk alone for very long. Anyone have anything to correct that, or any idea how to calculate the starvation point? From your numbers, self consumption of breast milk has a roughly neutral energy balance. Lo...

My mom reported to me that a recent graduate from my alma mater had heard of some of my exploits from when I was a freshman there. That's pretty cool.

So... you are some kind of legend of your Uni!

Until then, have you been following the past 2-3 years of school massacres in China? Plenty of examples of more than 4 or 5 victims (children and adults alike). China is a strange strange place. With the lifestyle they have here, i don't understand how is that they are not all nutters... maybe they...

So, what's a nog, anyway?

I love getting mail with my username on it.

I also desperately, achingly love this.

hehe that was subtle!

I'm disappointed the sunbathing one looks like it's going to win.

My goal is to start off the new year with 7K posts. I will most likely make no attempt to touch a computer while in AZ, so I have about 9 days to do it. This is only a challenge because I'll probably be posting to myself, about myself. Alas. Let the games begin. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...

Mass killings are typically classified as those incidents in which four or more victims were killed within a 24-hour period.

Even if it's just the members of the same household? (that's a situation i can see that could be done with bladed or blunt weapons).

jotabe

http://i.imgur.com/067Js.jpg Yup, fairly constant. And the spread is about as large as the signal itself (so it's either a random process or there are not enough incidents to analyse statistically). You say below gun ownership has been on the decline. How much in decline? I notice you limited your ...

And yet those who study mass shootings say they are not becoming more common. "There is no pattern, there is no increase," says criminologist James Allen Fox of Boston's Northeastern University, who has been studying the subject since the 1980s, spurred by a rash of mass shootings in post...

cool!

Some of those are the Happy Meal gifts, right?

Except that in this case (and in most of the cases in these mass shootings that capture media's attention) it wasn't a criminal. It was a law abiding citizen. Just a law abiding citizen with a personality disorder, according to the news (and it isn't strange, again, these mediatic shootings are alm...

That's nonsense. Gun control doesn't keep guns away from criminals (remember facts? let's use them), it keeps them away from law abiding citizens. Except that in this case (and in most of the cases in these mass shootings that capture media's attention) it wasn't a criminal. It was a law abiding ci...

There are two. Both of them sum things up very well. http://www.theonion.com/articles/report-it-okay-to-spend-rest-of-day-curled-in-feta,30741/ And pweb censored the other url. But it's on the top if you go to the onion. "f*** Everything, Nation Reports." "f*** Everything, Nation Rep...

Take it to the gun control topic (mod on duty please?). Nobody has "giant automatic weapons", and this guy certainly didn't. Gun control doesn't stop criminals from having guns, it stops law abiding heroic types from having them. If the teachers in that school had been armed and trained t...

What Onion article?

D'you mean it's not Zero?
You've got the capitalization all wrong. It's definitely ZERO.

Ah good! you had me scared there, for a second

And yes, sorry about the wrong capitalization!

jotabe

Go for it. I can take it.

Here's an excuse: I can't remember zero's real-life name. I feel apologetic for it, but that's how it is. Mich can't remember names.

I, for one, love that essay.

And yeah, seriously, books of poetry are so much easier to work around than books of law.

And be careful of old Deuteronomy

Snow in Beijing...

Ok, this isn't just as "out of context" as "removed context", but as i was reading elfprince's recent post on kumquats, in "things that i love"... i couldn't stop laughing and laughing. Yeah, i know, i am so very immature...: Yes, but make sure you eat them right or you...

Okay, now that I've started thinking about it, I'm getting irritated. You know, that whole anti-commercialism message would be a bit more credible from a cartoon that didn't have about five billion tie-ins with Hallmark. Well, it was Charly Brown who was against commercialism in Christmas. Not Schu...

I know this is a stereotype but, in my experience, males don't tend to notice those things like we do. Like a proper computer scientist/boy, I heapsort most of my belongings. Heaps of things on the floor therefore translate in my mind to "intentionally left here by someone who wants it here&qu...
