  1. You mean like last year where what's his face threw that last shot on purpose?
  2. Meh, Like Punk said, I'm not afraid to go out unarmed but I prefer not to. I know carrying is the only thing that puts me on equal grounds (or as close as possible) with someone who might want to hurt me. I want to go home to my daughter each night and if she's out with me, I want her to go home to her mother. She's my main reason to carry. No matter what I do today, I will go home.
  3. A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?' Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won.
  4. I'm watching the after show. I dislike Jake even more now; talking about making the people dream their kids were in need of help or drowning. What an ass. This wasn't combat, there are lines that should be respected.
  5. I was just posting it up in case anyone wanted to watch it.
  6. Discretion.what if you pull and the bad guy turns and runs? Gonna shoot him in the back? Or maybe he says I give up and puts his gun down?
  7. Awesome run in the final challenge!
  8. Having a debate on issue 2 on right now for those interested in watching.
  9. 95% of all shootings involve guns. Guns are dangerous.
  10. Constitution= law of the land. Twenty-first Amendment (part of the Constitution and therefore law of the land)= state level regulation of alcohol. My only point in this entire thing was to disprove your statement: "thats why states cant set their own drinking ages". Not once did I say state law trumped federal law nor did I reference firearms or voting. That being said, I think I am done with this thread. lol
  11. I never said state law was above federal law, I agreed with you that the Constitution is the law of the land.
  12. lol. I'm not here to battle firearm laws, driving laws, voting laws, etc etc. Are you aware of the 21st Amendment? By your quote: Makes the 21st Amendment the law of the land. This is your train of thought, correct train of thought I will add. I still <3 you Tyler.
  13. South Dakota v. Dole, 483 U.S. 203 (1987)
  14. Yes. the feds said, you will mandate an age of 21 or else we will withhold federal funding. The feds forced the states to mandate that age. Before that law, states had other ages, many of which were 18. Also quoted in there:
  15. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Minimum_Drinking_Age_Act
  16. States CAN set their own drinking age. The Feds just told them that if they don't make the age 21, they will deny the states funding. Blackmail.
  17. I haven't heard this in years. Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, Ring-di-diddly-eye-oh!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65hOhj94ZGE
