OK, I'll make a comment that's most likely to start a damn sh*t storm, but it's gotta be made.
Regarding voting for a president, it's REALLY hard to choose between a douche bag and a piece of garbage. It usually comes down to those 2 contenders. I don't know why the rest of the public is so easily serenaded by the incompitence and ever flowing bullsh*t that spews forth from their gullets, but they are. Most of our people don't take the time to really check up on the candidates and what they're REALLY going to do if/when elected. Then they lie to us, tell us what we want to hear, and then get into office and do the exact opposite of what they promosed on the campaign trail. Not really our fault, well, yes it is. We as a people should be more in tune with what's really going on and really do some friggin legwork on who is going to be running our damn country and lives for the next 4 years. Anyway, I took this thread into Serious Land. Sorry ya'll. Back to fun... |

Brian - no sh*t should be coming your way - you speak the absolute truth. Our "democracy" is a complete sham the way it ends up working (or not working for that matter). It's the classic case of "pick a card, any card" as they hold up only 2 out of the whole deck.

Brian, no negatives from this corner either. A thumbs up ,though, for being the state that is the home of the only truthful Presidential candidate running,Ron Paul. Maybe the truth is scary and that's why he has been ignored. Hopefully he'll retain his congressional seat there and continue with his Constitutional message. Run Ron,Run. Ron Paul 2008 — Hope for America

CHARLIE C,
Do I spy several H&K VP70Z's and P7's?
If you own a P7M13, would you consider parting with it?
Best regards,
Scott | |

I only see one VP70, bottom left. The others are close, but not quite right... I have an HK G3. I friggin love that thing. Scares the hell out of the shooting range employees and customers. Had one guy say he couldn't shoot his M16 next to us because of the foul caused by the .308 monster in the lane next to him. Wanna see it? Sure? Great!!    
Yes, I swapped out the factory stock with an M4 style collapsable stock so I could get a little more length out of it for my long ass arms. Haha The pistol is a Magnum Research Desert Eagle Baby Eagle .40 S&W.
Here's a vid of my friend shooting the G3... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoID=24090389
Yes, Ron Paul is the only candidate worth a sh*t IMHO. I don't wanna get into politics on here because it's a neverending and heated discusion. SO, with that said, I voted for Ron Paul in todays early voting primaries. Yes, I'm a 29 year old "kid" who actually votes. At least I can have a clean conscience when all hell breaks loose. Anyway, have fun ya'll. Hehe
Laters,
Brian
PS
I know it was a joke, pretty good one, I sent it to all my friends. They all got a laugh from it. Sorry to jack your thread.  | |

Look if the Americans won't come quietly we'll just have to send in the Gurkhas, that'll sort the situation in about a week I think. | |

Charlie, that is some scary firepower for one bedroom - I started to wonder how many triggers you could pull at the same time, BUT, then I noticed that you are in SoCal, so figured that the number of guns under the bed was probably around twice the number of people in the bed !!!
Kind Regards,
Peter D.
