  1. I don't like the wavy serrations on the slide, I just think they look silly and provide no functionality over the straight serrations. Lets face it, the Glock is blocky, putting wavy serrations on the back does not change the fact.

     

    I think you confused the S&W MP with the Glock in those pics. The Glock Gen 4 from what I've seen does not have wavy slide serrations.

  2. If that texturing on the sides is like the RTFs that I tried, then no thanks. It feels good in the hand but it will also rough you up if you wear it next to bare skin.

     

    It is nice to see Glock trying to catch up with their grips though.

     

    From what I have read it is not the same.

  3. Christmas, whatever its roots and religious history, is still an observed AMERICAN holiday.

     

    Christian or not if you are AMERICAN your country observes Christmas. Now what it means to you is up to your own interpretations.

     

    As an atheist I view Christmas as a holiday to remember that which is most important to you. More important than any god, country, political view, video game, etc, is MY FAMILY.

     

    Does that mean I will disrespect and mock those who observe Christmas for religious purposes?? Hell no. For to do that would be hypocrisy to the extreme.

  4. I believe the facts, yes. But that does not mean I buy into everything that has been said about Polar Bears or Penguins or Ugandan Field Mice etc. To attribute one or two things that have been falsely stated over time as an example of the overall falsehood of any theory is a fallacy. Personalizing the argument by calling Al Gore as a lier also does not advance your cause. Should we throw the baby out with the bathwater? Should we dismiss the entire theory due to a few problems?

     

    I agree we shouldn't dismiss the argument entirely because of the corrupt. But at the same time it is those corrupt who dismiss the argument of others. My biggest issue with the Climategate stuff is that what should be real science has instead been politicized.

     

    But I really don't think it matters anyway. The fact is, burning fossil fuels leaves every large American city hostage to sickening clouds of smog on a daily basis. I for one fucking hate smog. I don't like not being able to see LA or Chicago after 9:00am. I don't like shit in the air that stays in the air, regardless of whether or not its heating up the planet. Cutting the burning of fossil fuels is only a plus in my book if it improves air quality. As for the earth warming, does it really matter? Getting cleaner burning fuels is what really matters...

     

    I agree, I don't like the smog either. My Asthma is always 5x worse when I am in southern Cali than Phoenix. But that is local pollution. And LA for the most part is a valley.. a big bowl of its shit stewing.

     

    I am all for new energy that is reusable, efficient, and powerful but what is there yet? Hell, I would love nuclear power and it wouldn't take many more reactors to be able to power the us. "Oh but Camon what about the waste?" Well, shoot the shit to space... or pick some mountain in the middle of Nevada and store it there. Big fucking deal if that mountain stays inhabitable for a few 10000 years.

  5. "Belief" has nothing to do with it. I am just looking at the facts.

     

     

     

    :smoke:

     

    You mean evidence like Polar Bears are dying off at an alarming rate?

     

    Or that the temps are rising even as we reduce the number of rural stations?

     

    Have you ever heard of the Urban heat effect?? I know it first hand here in Phoenix. I work on the north east end of the Valley and it is easily 5-10 degrees cooler than downtown Phoenix area where I used to live.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer that pollution is bad and that LOCAL(read: STATE) Governments should prevent local pollution. But I do not believe that there are enough people on this world putting out enough CO2, a substance that EVERY LIVING NON-PLANT CREATURE BREATHES, to make a difference that would lead to catastrophic proportions. Especially when natural events like Volcanoes put out tons and tons of CO2 in comparison.

     

    And this myth that because the Ice caps will melt that islands will flood... excuse me but lol what? BASIC chemistry: Ice is less dense than water, meaning that there is less H2O in a liter of Ice than water. Even if the ice caps are receding they will just melt into their own space.

     

    Oh yea, lets not forget the role the Sun plays in all this. The Sun, which for the last year has been solar flare neutral. And you know, last year saw one of the coolest winters and this summer here in Phoenix was pretty damn mild. No major hurricanes on the US coast this year either.

  6. I've been playing COD4 again. Got my FPS mojo back. Got 87 kills, 3 deaths on one match ALL with the pump shotgun!

     

    Over the weekend I found an excellent dedicated server with extreme rules. The server is Hardcore Search and Destroy so once you die you are dead until the match ends. Also Friendly Fire is ON!

     

    - No martyrdom/last stand

    - No Run 'n Gun aka Shooting from hip. Aim down sights ONLY.

    - No blind firing, must have visual confirmation of enemy, no shooting through a wall because you think an enemy may be there.

    - No Airstrikes/Frags/Flashbangs/noob toobing within first 30 seconds of match.

    - No blind grenade throwing. If you are going to throw a grenade into a room you must follow up and clear that room.

    - Do Not Bunny Hop or Dolphin Dive

     

     

    Best COD4 server I have found. Extremely difficult!
