not really, dig under all the political bullshit and you will find and crap load of fear.
Basic emotions rule the world, everything else is there to hide that fact.
Just a question to 'know it all' Nasfan,
Might McDonalds be considered a WMD bearing in mind that so many people are dying fom 'Americanised' obesity? Indeed more people are dying from obesity than from some poxy power station in Israel!
hmmm--has anybody considered Ted Kazcinski,Eric Rudolph,or Timothy McVeigh as mass weapons of destruction? I agree with Alucard,and will also add that people will kill with whatever blunt or sharp instrument at their disposal. Strangulation works too. Gunpowder,nails, and galvanized iron pipe is easy to come by,as are 2 litre plastic bottles and acetylene,or M-100s from the reservation. When you buy a vehicle,you usually have a specific reason for it. SUVs for family,pickups for tools or miscellaneous loading,cars for comfort and economy. As somebody who took his rabbit and grouse hunting shotguns to school with the rest of the 12 year olds who never considered homocide, I never purchased a street-sweeper 12 gauge,because first of all--rapid firing is painful,secondly,masses of rabbits do not present themselves. I own an antique 30-40 Krag carbine which has killed many deer and elk. But I do not require an automatic weapon to hunt for meat. Handguns are made for close range killing of people. I have owned many,and carried these sidearms when I was in grizzly country. Now I am in Phoenix Arizona. I have shed myself of all my weapons, except my beloved carbine.I knew I was not going to be a javelina or quail hunter. In the same manner I sold my 2 four wheel drive trucks,because I knew I would not need them in flatland desert where there is never any snow. When I lived on Hilltop,in Tacoma Washington,I faithfully carried my Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag. It was stainless steel and beautiful. I lived in Crips and Bloods territory,and the threat was real. I never felt this threat in Phoenix,but I would if I was a cop on the south side. Or I was Sheriff Joe Arpaio. It is so confusing to see the old bumper stickers which read " Charlton Heston is MY president",and then watching `Moses` on the Bible videos. In our own way,this country is very violent. Do other countries buy their kids video games such as Grand Theft Auto or Resident Evil? How can this not breed aggression and violence in kids? Whatever happened to "Duck Hunt"? Except when you say it too quickly it has an adverse affect on women. Happy Thanksgiving to all!! Love what you have and the good people in your life. Peace be with you all. It is my birthday wish for everybody. Blaine
Wtrav, I live in Indiana, I see you also have a problem with reading as Martin. As for getting Syphillis in the Phillipines you must have mistaken me for one of your trips. It wasn't me that started a whole firestorm by posting some prostitutes pictures on the internet and claiming to have done her. That really represents character. Also by your post's I wonder what country you live in or are from. It seems about every fourth post you claim to be from another country then claim yourself as an american citizen.
Dear Nasfy,
Nouupppp you ain't a clue, I recall your post about the time that you got stuck in that shit port in the Philippines and you bragged all along that every whore in the harbor did you the favor to do you ... you went on to discuss venereal diseases contracted from southeast Asian whores, of course makes sense since you have first hand knowledge. Now, tell me the truth, were you a gunner on that ship or the guy who cleaned the gunners' dirty toilets? Indiana heee??? that makes a difference then:) and a whole lot of sense. Is it possible you might have contracted the syphilis in Indiana? can a dog give you syphilis? have you checked this possibility? just a hunch and my salutation to the navy's best toilet cleaner. Next time I will have my Philippine maid consult with you about sanitation techniques. I want to have my dog's house all cleaned up. Cheers.
Hey Wtrav02, Copy and paste that post my friend. Where I said this. I would like to see that. I'm afraid you won't find it and expose you for the liar that you are. Typical nonsense that you have written about others in this forum. As for being stuck in the Phillipines it was a TAD assignment with the AFP. It sucked and I'm not much of a fan of Subic Bay or Olongapo city. By the way are you posting your Philipino maids pictures on the internet?
Nasfy, I have no better things to do than going back to re-read your worthless job history in the Philippines--::)) you go find it and post it again. I may have my maid drop you a note about that sanitation project, however. Something tells me you're really good at sucking the dirt off the floor. Cheers broom.
Excuse my typo Martin, I am horribly in awe of your knowledge, I am sure you have been there as many times as you have been to America.
As for you Wtrav02, just proves again that you are a liar. JMO and I were having a conversation about the Phillipines when he made the remark about a friend or relative of his that had been to PI.
Martin let's continue the discussion on the reactor in Israel. I'm very interested in your knowledge of this subject.
There you go again little worm, trying to put words in my mouth that I didn't say. Just for the record, I have never been to The Philippines, it's 'general knowledge' that their nationality is Filipino, obviously knowledge is something that you are lacking!
With regards to a power station in Israel, you were talking so much crap then, as you are now, one minute a WMD was a scud, then we were talking about Israel, then you were talking of a power station as a WMD. You've changed your tune so many times I incorrectly referred to the supposed weapon of mass destruction, namely a power station, as being in Israel rather than Iraq.
To all nations of the world that have a nuclear power station. You are in contravention of 'nuclear disarmament' and unless you shut your stations down, and with immediate effect, then the 'good old USA' is going to invade your country because you are in possession of a weapon of mass destruction.
And Nasfan, just why do they call it 'friendly fire'? When I was in the military we were trained with discipline regarding firearms but your hotheads, a similar description might be imposed upon yourself, you just shoot your own people and your allies and make a habit of it!
Martin as the reference to the reactor. You keep claiming Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. A reactor being built leads towards a weapons enrichment program. As for no WMD's being found yet, there has been trace evidence of Yellow Cake Uranium and Iraqs' attempt to purchase such. As a scud being a WMD, with a chemical warhead as Hussien had threatened to use in the first gulf war, That surely would classify as a wmd. The US didn't invade Iraq over the reactor, but Israel sure wasn't going to wait for Hussein to develop nuclear weapons. I'm trying to remember the last country we invaded for having a nuclear reactor?
Nobody was putting words in your mouth, you have plenty of your own. I haven't changed my tune one iota. First you ramble about women being concerned with gun laws in America. Which you have very little knowledge of. I asked you in a past post to please tell me how many gun laws we have on the books in the USA. No response.
The term friendly fire is not a term used often with small arms. Though it can and has happened. It is mostly used in a gunfire support situation, as in large calibre cannons or naval gunfire support, when the plot coordinace is miscalculated and the projectiles land upon the troops they are supporting. Another blatant and idiotic statement that the US makes a habit of killing their own troops and allies.
As for being a hothead, I'm far from it. If someone would happen to break into my home, I would casually drop the hammer on them, Oh sorry, my mistake my .45 ACP is hammerless, makes it quicker to get out of the shoulder holster, calmly walk to the phone and call the police and tell them to bring along the coroner. With the idiotic laws I won't give a criminal a chance to sue me in court for wounding him. Have a nice day my anal retentive friend.
Nasfan,
You can bullshit as much a you like, Saddam may have bullshitted also, but at the end of the day Iraq does not have WMD's and the US invasion of Iraq has been illegal under international law.
How many gun laws the US has is of total irrelevance, the fact is that more guns are present in the US than in a 'regular' western country and a lady may want to take this into consderation. THas is fact and I really don't see any point in discussing the reasons or laws pertaining to why these guns are present, the simple fact is that these guns are present.
Friendly fire, as it is called, comes from US aircraft attacking Britih ground vehicles/troops, if comes from US troops on the ground etc. etc. etc. Even the US military are, by far, too 'trigger happy'.
You are a hothead, you have taken my original 'one line' post as an attack against your democratic rights to carry a gun etc. and you have over-reacted time and time again. I merely made mention of US gun laws, the presence of guns, a lady may consider etc. and you want to fight for the rights and wrongs of democratic rights, that is not, for one minute, what I was getting at in my original post.
You always cite international Law, Why? Who enforces international law? Who created these laws? You are so willing to give up your freedoms for a world government. If it is so illegal as you say. Where are the sanctions from your world body against the US?
Your post, from the very beginning, was irrational and lacking any facts about gun issues in the US. If over reacting, is citing your ignorance of gun issues in the US. Then I'm over reacting. The first thing a totalitarian society does is removes the ability of the citizens to defend themselves against tyranny. Kind of like what the British were doing at Lexington and Concord. They didn't go there to quell a rebellion, they went there to stop the ability to rebell against a Monarch. That meant to take the guns from the citizens. Hell Ukraine and Russia have higher per capita Murder rates than the US. But you and your slanderous agenda cites the fact that a woman would be afraid to come to the US because of it's gun laws. As if in fact they were leaving this comfortable safe haven, to come to the wild west shoot out of the United States. You internationalists make me laugh, all you want to do is grab the guns from the US so they can bow down to the International community and be impuned with their socialist agenda of a world body. That will never happen. There is a great article in "The New American" magazine, called th UN's Agenda on a Global Gun grab. Marty America lives under a sovereign Republic, not a democracy, and any country that gives up it's sovereignty for a world government, or jurisidiction of a world court has fools for leaders.
I was watching RTV, or Russian Television yesterday, Black Friday, what was shown, an Inner city Walmart, where people were trampling each other and beating each other to buy items for the Christmas Rush. I was at My Walmart yesterday, nothing like that was present. An isolated incident that tried to portray everyday life in America. When someone tries to purport a bias, especially one like yours, I won't over react, I will take it head on and prove the fallacy of your one line postSince you don't live here you have no clue as to everyday life in America, and you won't slander honest and law abiding citizens of my country with your uneducated diatribes about guns and illegal wars. You are already a slave to your international community. When you give up your freedoms for security you deserve neither.
Listen you dick brain, I meely mentioned that a lady may take into consideration that guns are more common place in the US. Fuck the history, the statistics compared to FSU countries, guns are more present in the US than other western countries, got it?
Who enforces international law? Well it certainly ain't the US, they're a law unto themselves, whilst the Soviet Union existed the USA kinda behaved themselves, now their goverment is totally out of control but they should think about treading carefully, there is another Union that is growing in size and may find itself taking on the US one day if only to prevent Bush from his impersonations of Hitler.
Nasfy, I see you're fast downloading information from the net to convince us you're a navy expert in guns and cannons. Your mumbo jumbo on cannons and the rest can be found anywhere in cyberspace (because we all know you don't know what a book is, but we have evidence you've got a keyboard and know how to use it). I asked you a question and did not get a response, let me repeat it: WERE YOU A GUNNER ON THE SHIP OR THE GUY WHO CLEANED THE GUNNERS' TOILETS? I have you down for the second.
You call me liar you prick? You doubt my citizenship? let me tell you citizenship from birth is not a privilege, it's a fact, which you can neither deny nor change. I was born in the U.S.A. and my parents moved overseas when I was small. I returned to the U.S.A. to go to college and did not leave since then until recently. It is news to me that you are less of a citizen if you travel too much or don't live in Indiana ...
You prick call my character into question saying that "it wasn't me that started a whole firestorm by posting some prostitutes pictures on the internet and claiming to have done her". You're such an idiot and an liar. I have repeatedly stated I visited that woman without knowing she was looking for sponsorship. She only told me so after I had made my trip to her and I immediately dropped her, called her agencies, she was removed, end of story. According to your logic, everyone who was scammed is a person with an intent to sleep with prostitutes. I only posted (go back and find the post you prick) because I wanted to warn others (I challenge you find the post prick and prove that I had intention to knowingly sleep with a prostitute). You know very well what the truth is because you've been around the forum for a while and I have explained this a few times. You're such a useless coward that you keep using the same lies over and over because you can't find anything else against me. No wonder you need to hang guns around your skirt to protect yourself. No wonder you “hard core” republicans are the biggest scams, losers and cowards.
I don't need military training to prove anything. I did not need money for college because I was granted a full tuition scholarship. I did not need to travel with the navy because I had already been around and seen the real world. I did not need military status to prove I am adventurous because I already am. I've traveled to 45 countries, have lived on business assignments in Agrentina, Brazil, Mexico and France, and have extensively traveled on business in Asia/Pac. I've done a lot of traveling on my own that you cannot even dream of. Have you been all around Tibet and the Himalayas dude for one month? have you seen Everest in the sunrise? have you trekked the Hindukush for two weeks on glacial surface? have you been all around India? southeast Asia, China, have you been to the jungles of Irian Jaya? how about the Amazon, Patagonia, Central America, have you been near an erupting volcano, do you enjoy scuba? how deep have you reached with strong drifts? Have you tried to feed lemon sharks in the deep open water? have you found yourself with less than 30 seconds air because of strong drifts? I can go on and on prick to prove your military crap training in the toilets is worth nothing. Cheers prick.
First of All Wtrav02 You assume I am a republican. First mistake.
Secondly birthright makes you a citizen. Maybe in your mind. As for having a PADI license, yes I have one and I also have a jumpmaster certificate. So what does that prove. I have traveled and been to some of the places you have with the exception of about 5. Again what does that prove.
I have with Amazement Watched Mount St. Helens Erupt twice when we were in the Ship yards at Swan Island. Have Hunted in Cougar Washington in the red zone. Been to the country Formally Know as Rhodesia and many African countries. Enjoyed the beaches of Forteleza Brazil. Again so what. So you have a degree, there are many academic assholes in this world. Most of us here have a degree.
As for needing guns, yes there is a need. To keep idiots like you from taking control of this country.
As for my Navy Background, I was a GMG2 NEC 0876/0877 find that on the internet you idiot. As for spending time in the toilets, I choose not to run around with your crowd.
Oh by the way Wtrav02 it wasn't so much of posting her pictures on the internet, you posted nude photographs of her. If your intent was to expose her for a scammer why didn't you just post pictures of her face?
There tells me of your arrogance and immaturity and you say she was a prostitute that worked for an escort service. My question still stands, why did you post nude photographs of her. Sounds like some moron just trying to get his perverted Jollies or maybe a man that was scorned and looking for revernge. Either way go clean up your world that is a toilet you jerk.
