[Hi Heels]

Cuz he already HAD that one, Zip! ..... Eezsh...

Let's not terrify the 15 year olds....

[Hi Heels]

uh oh....

THAT was not a good idea.....

poke, gorilla, 500lbs...you get the picture....

THAT was not a good idea.....

 

future F22 pilot = Living proof 15 year olds are brain dead, for the most part.

 

The thing that really chaps my hide is I was called to a Viking Kitty alert and got flamed by a 15 year old! Now if that don't put your panties in a bunch, nothin' will!  LOL

 

Ah well, I see he's still around. Must be a very good reason I'm not a Mod, cause I'd a smoked this kid! I was taught to have respect for my elders. If you turn the digits around you will get my age. Kids nowadays think it is our duty to accommodate their every wish. Mine don't because they know there would be hell to pay.

 

I'm old, but still dangerous. All 6' 240 lbs!

 

I had one of these little punks using my driveway as a place to burn his tires off. The sheriff told me if I could catch the little peckerhead, to hold him until he could get there. He said, (and I'm not makin this up), "I don't care if you have to pull him out the wing window, keep him here until I arrive!"..........so I did........LOL

Are you sure? lol

good move (holding the kid till the sheriff got there) allo, I have respect for elders, you can tell that by my others, you have to earn respect and u didnt in the beginning but the last post will make up for it.

btw, 6' 120lbs can run faster

i wish you had passed some of that respect for elders on to some of your peers, maybe we could have avoided about 48,000 lives in Vietnam if they had respected thier elders in the military and government

Sorry, but I don't have any idea what you are talking about.

I stood the watch against the Russians in Europe. My dad, grandfathers and their brothers fought the Japs and then the Germans twice. My gggrandfathers shot the yankee government troops and their fathers killed Mexican infantry in Texas. My ggggrandfathers David McGee and the Barkwell brothers killed redcoats. Before that my French family fought the French Crown and my English Family the English Crown.

No telling who my family and I may have to shoot next time to stay free .....

I was refering to the peace protests by the hippies of the 60's which were mainly a result of having no respect for elders in the government.

The 2nd Amendment. Guns save lives. Only criminals get guns if law abiding citizens are banned from owning guns.

Guys seriously, get a clue have you never used a messenger service and used abbreviations. This post is meant to be informal and I was treating it as such. My IQ is 129, and I know how to use the 133t video game language while you sit in the dark so either learn the language or BACK OFF. (note: this is not meant to be hostile but just explain why some of the spelling have been off)

I understood what you meant when I read it. I use MSN messenger all the time and know the abbreviations/codes/shorthands and l33t. Welcome to FR :)

You need to put a "/s" or "/sarcasm" tag. On forums it is hard to tell what is sarcasm and what is not sarcasm.

1: A firearm permits me, in extremis, to defend my home, life, family, community, and country against any and all agressors. I should be able to own the best devices I can afford for that purpose.

2:'Gun Control' presumes I will not exercise good judgement in assessing threats and dealing with those threats accordingly, with the appropriate amount of force. I object to that assumption.

3:As an idealogy, it (gun control) further makes the assumption that I would be more likely to use inappropriate force or use force inappropriately if I were to posess a more sophisitcated or intrinsically capable firearm.

4:My guns are my property. NO one should be able to take my property without a valid reason. With no instances of causing unjustifiable harm to anyone, there exists no justification for taking my guns because of something I might be capable of doing.

5: Gun control advocates focus on an inanimate object as the root of social problems, instead of the antisocial people who cause those problems.

6:There is inherent intellectual dishonesty in continually seeking to change the rules, one step at a time, when the ultimate goal of gun control advocates is the unilateral disarmament of American citizens.

7: Why, at 19, could a young man control a main battle tank with all its weapon systems, and not be allowed to have a pistol at home, especially the home he laid his life on the line to defend?

8: Guns have fed and protected me, and enabled me to feed and protect others. I will not give that up.

9: It does not matter how many rounds the gun will hold, nor how quickly they can come out of the barrel, only where the first one goes.

10: Ultimately, my cold, dead hands may need something to hang on to.

LOL! On this thread?

Haven't you seen the 'T' Shirt? The one that says "SNIPER" then says "Go ahead and run, you'll just die tired."?

Now that is control!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Watch "RED DAWN".

It is very hard to debate the "Looney Lefties" because they do not use logic but only "FEEELINGS".

[future F22 pilot]

Yes, I've seen that t-shirt but allo said 6' 240 so I assumed he was refering to pure physical ability.
