  1. Schadenfreude=The taking of pleasure in other's misfortune. We're all guilty of it, it's our nature. It makes us feel better that a 'normal' joe can judge a famous or rich person for their mistakes. I personally make it a point to ignore stories like these and draw my entertainment elsewhere, but it really isn't any shock. There's a picture I saw of a smokin' hot chick and the caption reads "some guy, somewhere is tired of banging her". Really sums it up.
  2. It took 10 years to recover after the great depression of the 1930's. And it took WW2 to boost the recovery. It took 16 years after the early '70's crash. Reagan's policies helped that with import tarrifs and tax cuts. This one will never get back to original numbers because of the nature of it's cause. So much fake wealth was generated-credit debt, grossly inflated home values, outsourced manufacturing, and wage to inflation disparity. Just to start seeing growth again will easily take 20 years under the current policies. Another "see, my plan works-vote for me ploy by 'bama."
  3. What time did it air? I think the cut off time is 10:00 pm. after that it's the parents' responsability to keep kids from watching questionable content.
  4. www.paraklesetechnologies.com I found this site one night while looking for cheap .410 ammo for the Mrs. They have some pretty bad ass .410, 20, 12 gauge stuff I'm probably going to order. Just wondering if anyone else tried any of their stuff first. Those .410 slugs they got look really nasty!
  5. Man, I feel like a puss next to that shit! 1. Kidney stone-the morphine did work on me. Boy did it ever! 2. Got my right thumb stuck between a grinding wheel and the rest plate, blood poured out of where my thumb nail and meat used to be, soaked the wheel and splashed me in the face! Damn thing throbbed for months! 3. Chemicals soaked through my boots and ate all the skin off the top of my feet. Got pics, but old school camera and no scanner. 4. Fell in a hole and broke 2 ribs, 1 week later got in a fight and took a bat to those same ribs. I was drunk at the time so didn't really hurt. 5.
  6. Today Harley Davidson union employees voted 89% yes to stay in York county Pennsylvania. Good news for us-especially me, I work for a company that is 80% dependent on H.D. Bad news for Kentucky, although the H.D. brass won't finalize it until 12-9. I was surprised at the vote because it had a lot of concessions, 7 year wage freeze, and a need for up to 1000 jobs to be cut out of the 2000 they employ. A lot of those guys know they will be cut and still voted yes for the greater good. It's a shame because we know the company is using the down turn to get a better contract, but H.D. sales are dow
  7. Check out Alton Brown from Good Eats on Food Network. Dude tackles cooking like a mechanical engineer. Soak chicken pieces in buttermilk in the fridge over night. Add salt, pepper, garlic/onion powder, ceyane and paprika. Roll in flour and pan fry in shortening about 1/2" deep 12-15 min per side. Serve with waffles and gravy. That always does it for me.
  8. There's something to all the science but like a lot of you said, a bunch of people-'Al Gore' are poised to rake in tons of $ if they get their way. Same goes the other way-oil, coal companies. Remember the 1980's when Canada got pissed at us for all the acid rain that blew north. They traced that to coal fired plants. All I know is I don't like breathing air I can taste or swimming in water that catches fire. I like hiking and hunting in forests and walking on sludge free/needle free beaches. Don't gotta be a tree hugger to like those things. Keep waste management/emissions honest and keep imp
  9. That is gut wrenching to say the least! Here in York, Pa we are holding our breath until December 2 when Harley Davidson's union votes on the new contract. If it's no, they're going to Kentucky and my job, like many others in the area depends on them. Sad state of affairs. Corporate greed and government medaling at it's finest. It took 8 years to recover after the great depression of the 30's, 10 years after the 70's, this one will never get back to 100% because of the nature of this recession. Inflated home values + massive debt + weak manufacturing sector + Federal reserve devaluation of cur
  10. How about letting the victim's closest relative pull the trigger, lever, button, etc. and speed up the process, it takes like 14 years and 2.5 million dollars to kill a convict now. Speed that shit up!
  11. I guess the only real problem I have with any group targeting things they don't approve of is where is the line? what's to stop people from coming after the things that I like? Heavy metal-always under attack look at the pmrc, the Gores, Newt Gingrich and churches tried to silence it. UFC-Mccain went after it. Pornography-it took Larry Flint and Hugh Hefner to protect it. Obscene comedy-Lenny Bruce and George Carlin protected it. Fatty foods-liberals try to ban them. Alcohol-our government banned it and created a crime state. Those are all freedoms protected by the constitution yet they need t
  12. Gotta love religious topics, always spirited and enlightening. My tolerating others philosophy may have got jumbled a bit. I do not and everyone else should not tolerate any kind of behavior that we don't view as acceptable. Example, break into any of our homes or attempt to harm us or our loved ones, take away any of our rights and a painful demise will ensue. I'm sure we all agree to that. I have trouble believing that any of us can not display religious themes on our property, I live in central Pa, and I see a lot of really nice Christmas decorations out already. My wife and I take walks an
  13. A good read, here's my take. Most Christians, Catholics, Atheists, Satanists, Republicans, Democrats, Homosexuals, etc. that I have met are good people and fun to be around as individuals, but put any of them into a group long enough and they change. They become the oposite of the person I was just talking to. The Christians did a lot of great things throughout history, but evil does walk among them. American slave owners, Crusaders, Inquisitors, and even Hitler flew the rightous banner. It all boils down to stick to your ideals but leave the judging and persicutions to whoever you pray to to
  14. A little fun with math it is. I added my wife's little guns and stll didn't get 10,000. Kill number chart: 1. Mosin, 7.62 x 54= 411.48 2. S-12, 18.5 x 76= 1406 3. Rem 870, 18.5 x 76= 1406 4. Mossy 410, 12 x 76= 912 5. Marlin 22 mag, 5.7 x 34= 193.8 6. Heritage 22 mag, 5.7 x 34= 193.8 7. S&W 2206 .22lr, 5.7 x 25= 142.5 8. Walther p22 .22lr, 5.7 x 25= 142.5 9. 1911 45 acp, 12 x 32= 384 10. 44 mag lever gun, 11.6 x 41= 475.6 11. 44 mag revolver, 11.6 x 41= 475.6 12. Tokarev, 7.62 x 25= 190.5 13. Rem 5
  15. I work at Worthington and they are a pretty stable and large company. We make the steel skids Harleys get shipped on, but all together we got compressed gas cylinders, all kinds of steel pallets, metal framing, coils, galvinizing, etc. so the corp will survive, but I may need to follow the action. Harley's sales dropped 91% since this time last year! The only thing the company wants is for the union guys to multi task like the rest of us have to. A screw driver guy won't screw on more than one job, etc. Hope they get off their lazy asses and learn to do a little work, otherwise one of the sout
  16. Good stuff, I love happy endings. Did you here about the one in Montana last year? a 15 year old girl was home alone when 2 latin males broke in. She took up position at the top of the stairs with a shotgun and took one out with a chest shot on the way up the steps, not sure about the other one. Turns out they killed a man and stole his gun-which they had at the time. She was a champion skeet shooter! I love that one. Shame she didn't get them before they got that guy though.
  17. Agreed, this is the best forum out there. Hands down the best group of folks on the web. I'm still a newb, but I dig the company. Other gun sites are all: over the top, bunker building, red blooded, god fearing, semi-literate, wanna kill you if you don't agree with me types. And other political sites are wishy/washy, bean sprout eating, hug a tree and don't bathe, piss and moan but do nothing yahoos. But here we got some characters that won't bore the hell out of ya, and are downright genuine. What more could you ask for. I'm with ya on the troubled times. I live in York Pa, and my job is depe
  18. I go to the Outer Banks-Corola every year in late August Early September and that would be a sweet icing on the cake to throw some Saiga lead down range while I'm there. I'd just have to pick a day to sober up!
  19. Damn, I forgot some. Worms Armageddon/World Party for Dreamcast kicked ass! I had a team named S.T.D.S with names like anal warts, rectal pain, etc. I would get online to play and people would be like "what the hell's wrong with you" Loved those games. I agree that every final fantasy after 7 sucked! Speaking of classics, Intellivision had one called AD&D Treasure of Tarmin. It was the first 1st person rpg with inventory management. I still play it on the Intellivision Lives cd rom. I guess I'll add to the list too. Shattered Union- xbox-awesome turn based strategy Draken- ps2 Pirates
  20. I list mine in order of how much of my life did I waste on each one. 1. Civilization 2 and 3. ps1/pc 2. Comand and Conquer Red Alert/Retaliation-my brother and I would link our PS1's and go for days! 3. Resident Evil 1,2,3,Code Veronica. ps1, ps2 4. Final Fantasy. 7 ps1. 5. Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind. xbox 6. Gladius. xbox. I know, for a guy with an ass load of guns, there's no shooter games on the list. Don't dig 'em.
  21. Wow, this turned into an all out operating system debate. I've never messed around with Mac OSX but the guy that did the graphics on my old band's cd and t-shirts swore by it...too pricey for me though. I used Windows until recently when Linux Mint 64 came out and now I'm never going back. I ran my system monitor with XP, Vista, and Mint and let me tell ya, Mint uses so little resources to run, XP was acceptable, Vista was freakin' criminal in it's ineficiency! My wife even made the switch to Mint, it's like Ubunto but a lot more user friendly. You still got to play around with some aps, but o
  22. Gore's a douchebag, I watched his "documentary"-I watch 'em all, even Mike Moore's crap and he spent as much time belly aching about the election as he did on climate change. It all comes down to common sense. Do you fire up the grill in your living room, enjoy swiming in sewage, walking on beaches lined with spent needles. Probably not. Fine the bastards that pollute, keep the laws simple and enforced when it comes to spewing cfcs, sulfor dioxide, etc. co2 is a large part of air, they might as well tax nitrogen since that's what air is mostly made of. I've always hated Gore since the old PMRC
  23. Used to love Alienware pre-Dell. I heard they don't even use AMD anymore. Build your own is the best way to go. Few years ago I got my wife a Compaq Presario sr1820nx and I got a sr1850nx. Put 4 gigs of ram, AMD 4000+ cpu, 1 gig gpu, and Linux Mint 64 o.s. in both. No where near the price of an Alienware and will hold up for a long time. Going to put AMD 4800+ x2 cpu's in eventually.
