Every morning and evening while letting the dog out. :fuckyeah:

I don't get paid to poop at home. I do get paid to poop at work. Allow me to do some maths for you. For me, a nurse: - 3 x 12hr shifts/week - 15min per poop/per shift (sometimes 2-3 poops, depending on the day) - We will say 50 weeks, allow for some vacations. - That's 45min/week x 50 weeks = 37.5hr/year that I'm paid to poop. - Without OT, I work at least 36hr/week. - I'm essentially getting a little over 1/2 of my normal paycheck (paid every 2 weeks) per year, just to poop. You 9-5ers, 5 days a week can take even more of an advantage of your sitch. Moral of the story: It pays (literally) to poop at work.

God those things are sweet. Not sure about $80k sweet, but awesome none the less. If Ford decides to knock off $25k, I'd consider it. I'd totally go full tater and throw a cap on that thing, too.

I still think you're missing the problem here. How do you incentive someone who isn't rational to begin with? Their infatuation isn't with guns, it's with killing. You need to address why they are driven to kill, not why they are using a gun. Giving earplugs to a schizophrenic won't make them quit hearing voices in their head. There is something wrong with their brain, and that's what needs addressed. Oh, I'd love to talk about that thing. But that thing isn't the gun, it's the idea of killing people. What research do you need? It ain't that hard to track. We don't need a gov't funded entity to give us some statistics. "Well, ASSAULT WEAPONS were used in 0.04% of homicides killing a total of 213 people." Who gives a fuck? It's well known that handguns are far and above used to kill more people than anything else, and they NEVER get talked about. Why? Because legislators do not truly give a shit. The country wouldn't know this though because the media loves to latch onto these 'mass killings' and plaster AR-15s all over the TV, and the average American is too God damn stupid to know any better, and so they believe it. And if it matters so much to the Left legislators; take $50k, pay a person to sit down and gather the data for a year, and present it. I'm not quite sure what they feel like they are missing though. Nope. Again, the fixation ISN'T THE GUN, IT'S KILLING. Why? Why? Why can we not focus on that? Mental illness isn't a completely different conversation when it comes to these mass killings. It is THE conversation. I also do not think it's all about mental illness. This latest douche didn't show one single sign that he would do this, so why did he do it? What are we doing as a society that is influencing and driving these people to commit these acts? Putting a gun in front of them is what caused him to snap? I think not. You're not crazy, until you are. Have you met Bob (Diamonds)? The vast majority of the gun industry is made up of people like him. Small business guys trying to find their way. There are a few large companies and conglomerate, too, but they don't make up the majority. The NRA is backed by The People, and to some degree (as you noted) the Gun Industry, who are also backed by The People. So, yes, The People WANT the NRA to continue doing what it's doing because it's in their best interest. They don't have a problem with the Gun Industry backing the NRA because it benefits them. Again, they aren't evil. They are the powerful word of The People who refuse to give up their Rights. And the NRA is definitely more organized and centralized because they are educated on the subject. I can talk to 99% of anti-gun people and blow holes in every argument they have because they haven't a clue about anything they're bitching about. I wouldn't get into an argument with a nuclear engineer about how bad nuke power plants are for the environment when I don't have the slightest idea how they work in the first place. I'd come off as a moron to those that are educated on the subject, and the anti-gun crowd does too. I'm not stopping you from doing R&D into the tech, if you want. But I better not be forced to buy it when you're done. A gun isn't a car. You don't have a car's worth of space to squeeze something in. I'd rather the money be spent on finding why people are so damn crazy these days.

I do not have a problem working towards a solution, but I demand that the solution be viable and not a complete waste of time or Rights. How about we set our eyes on the ACTUAL problem; the person. This knee-jerk reaction legislation gets tiresome and we all know it will literally do nothing to fix the problem. It's an excuse to continue chipping away. See Nancy Pelosi' s latest comment if you need any guidance on what their intentions are. If you (not you specifically, Kerry) want to have a conversation, we can do that. But if you say gun even one single time during this conversation, it's over because you still haven't figured out what the problem even is. Your unfounded hatred for an object prevents us from moving forward. I believe that is why the NRA takes a hardline stance; because they realize they are not the problem. I also love how people, particularly legislators, talk about the NRA like they are some big bad rogue entity who goes against the will of the people. News Flash: they are funded by The People. And they aren't even in the top 10 lobbyist. And about your last comment. The Left loves to push for these dumb things. They DO NOT WORK. It's been tried time and time again. Youre asking them to put a small, electronic device inside and near to an object whose job is to contain and direct a violent explosion, insane G-forces, and to do it thousands and thousands of times while remaining reliable, especially when it counts. Oh, and to also think it couldn't be disabled when someone wants is quite laughable. Again, we are looking at the wrong damn thing. This country is bleeding out and we keep blaming the blood.

Just curious, Kerry. How would you solve the 'gun problem'?

Am I the only one who thinks this selfie-taking, look-at-me, attention whore society we've created has a large part to do with these shootings these days? The rise in social media seems to have correlated (maybe causation) with the rise in shootings. This guy clearly didn't have enough talent to become famous through acceptable means, so he chose to become infamous instead. I feel like a lot of these shootings are about who can 1-up the one before it. All it takes is a small bit of internet research, and a severe lack of a moral compass or conscience, and you have what we have today. I feel like if we are going to talk about the 2nd Amendment being part of the problem, then the 1st Amendment is equally as valid. If we're going to go after guns, then social media should be on the chopping block as well. No more Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, etc. You can no longer become instantly infamous because no one will have the means to instantly hear about it. That should put a pretty good dent in part of the problem. And, unlike firearms, which would still be easily obtainable even if they were outright banned, its not like social media would be. You delete the program and it's gone for everyone. Unless you're some genius underground programmer, it ain't coming back.

:lolguy:

My money is on crank fire. Watching various videos of this ordeal, you can hear quite a bit of variability in the cyclic rate, suggesting cranking at different speeds. Not very easy to wield, but clearly effective when pointing it at a large group of people who are boxed in and can't go anywhere. I'd bet these devices come under some fire (no pun intended) when this whole thing plays out.

I doubt they were full auto. Yup. Needs to die in a fire. Wouldn't that be nice. I wish everyone would quit calling them Class III weapons. Class III is a type of Federal Firearms License for dealing in these weapons, which is also NOT required to own them as an individual. More correctly, they are Title II weapons and you can purchase them the same as you would with, say, a suppressor. It's some BS paperwork and A LOT OF MONEY (to do it legally, which I doubt he would have cared to do). Huh? If he was using an AR or AK, which are the most likely choices, then their maximum range is MUCH further; like, miles. Quick ballistic calcs using a typical 55gr .223 traveling 3000fps puts its maximum range @ 1.8 miles with a terminal velocity of about 340fps. More than enough to do some damage if it hits you. Useful range is usually until the round hits the transonic zone, wherein the bullet has a tendency to destabilize, which for this same round is a little over 600yd. It could still easily kill well beyond that though.

Most likely an anoxic brain injury post resuscitation. Its why I (kind of) hate CPR. Unless the cause is something traumatic and/or quickly reversible, it almost never turns out well. Leaves families with a terrible decision to make.

Que?

lol. I'm about as worried about those morons doing harm to me as I am my 5yo cousin. Those fuckheads have about as much of a chance at figuring out how to operate an 'assault weapon' as I would one of their Starbucks espresso machines.

Minus whale go ahead and shut this thread down. It's gotten outta hand.

don't

Bunch of softies in here. Handling your PTSD ok?

When ice cream sales increase, so does crime. Ice cream causes crime.

Talk to any nurse at Children's Hospital. They'll tell you. Put your kid in a damn car seat/booster. They give the F'n things out for free. There's no excuse.

Get a tent/hammock and go pretty much wherever you want.

Do hunting seasons apply to you? Say you want to feed your hawk some freshly spotted venison in April when they fall out of their moms vagine. Can you feed them some and keep the rest?

I actually agree with you here. He has never impressed me in any way. This isn't all on him though. Prince still folds every time. The WRs aren't Devon Smith. And our pass defense is lacking. Let's take this opportunity to get JT out and put this Taint kid in.

Different than first movie?

Absolutely nothing. I don't let petty things like that get to me. I chalk them up as ignorant and they should do the same (or at least I think they should) if presented with a similar situation.

Those trees and telephone polls look soft.

What guns are you shooting now, Bob?
