These biddies must hate me. Next week I have the privelege of helping my buddy take his 11yr. old grandson on his first deer hunt. WV has a 1 or 2 day 'Youth Hunt Season.' I'll be helping by driving and know that I'll be sore for a week after.

There was a Lib on WRKO once who tried that experiment on his daughter. He bought her two fire trucks. She called them Mommie Truck and baby Truck.

This makes me want to buy "war toys" and donate them to Toys for Tots (run by the Marines).

LOL, I did that!

Hell, in the late 60's we had show & tell at school and one of my classmates brought his quite impressive NAZI guns and flags to show which his veteran Dad had collected during the war.


We only had fist fights in school back then. No one even bothered to use their pocketknives. Imagine that!

I dont know if I can make it over there

S'okay. There's been thousands upon thousands of passholders descending upon the Theme Parks during the last weekend when I was there myself.

Case-in-point: You're only missing the loooooooong lines, crowded walkways, nippy cold (yes!!!)....and ,of course, all the Disney Magic.

If you put a boy in a room for 20 minutes with nothing but 2 hangers, he's going to exit the room with a Car and a Gun.

That’s great, good luck with that, but if you don’t want you children play certain video games then DON’T BUY THEM.

No all forms of media need to be consumable by the youngest children.

I was there for a week early November. Epcot and Magic Kingdom are my daughter's favorites, so that was it for the parks. The rest of the time we checked out Downtown Disney for Wolfgang Puck's and Virgin Records. The weather was absolutely perfect and the crowds were the lowest I've ever seen.

"Violent Toys=Violent Boys."

Want to really tick em off? Need a sign that says:

"Nagging Hags = Violent Boys"

Tell Code Pink it's useless. It's in the hard drive. Little boys turn things into weapons of war. My six year old and his friend were decorating a gingerbread house and everything was lasers and cannon balls and escape pods and guns--and we don't even have guns in the house. We have swords and hockey sticks but no guns. If there were no guns in the world little boys would still grab sticks and pretend to shoot with them.

My brothers and I played cowboys and Indians with our six-shooters, decked out in our cowboy/girl attire.

Who was the liberal talker on RKO?

Great story!

We were there from Thanksgiving day through the following week.

I don't really play "games" at amusement parks... work to hard for my money.. but the shooting range is the one exception, and that's not a "game" anyway.. no prize to win other than hitting the target.

So Jr and I did go through some quarters in Frontier Land.

The Left does not believe in individual freedom, even if nobody else is harmed, unless of course it relates to sex in any way, then they are for as much freedom as possible.

It's the violent Video Games like Grand Theft Auto, WWF Smackdown, etc. that pervertes young mens minds.

Under-reported: as violent video games proliferate, rates of actual violence decrease.

One of my greatest Christmas gifts to myself would be to have the oppportunity to find a bunch of these traitors and taunt them loudly in public.

I even have a group of friends, including a couple of gulf war 1 vets who would help me.

Alas, they don't seem to show their nasty, disease riddled, commie butts in my neck of the woods in West Virginia.

I've never seen that firing range but will definitely seek it out next time we're there. My daughter could use some target practice.
