I was pulling for the Ravens, but I still thought there was some BS officiating on the last 49er drive. Incomplete pass? HE TOOK THREE STEPS! not to mention the lack of holding call.

So yeah, mixed feelings on this one.

Sorry, that was phrased poorly, I was trying to get at the ethics of one regime (Rhodesia) vs the other with the current state of affairs in Zimbabwe. The 'want' in the above phrase was hypothetical; i.e. If you could magic one regime for the other would you? It was not stupid - there's a whole phe...

Is it still considered monstrously un-PC to want Rhodesia back? Don't be stupid.

Ahh, but there is a problem even with the classic 1911, most come with 8 round magazines now, mine did at least. Also, even with a 7 round magazine, what happens if you carry with one in the chamber? You're 7+1 configuration puts you over the limit. Not so, the law states magazines- if you have one...

Iraq and Afghanistan ring any bells? How long has that dragged on?

When I saw the thread title; I thought of this.



Even the signatures on this money though aren't as bad as that.

I haven't heard anything bad about them and there attractively priced. I've been toying with purchasing a PPQ Navy actually. The Henry is the .22 right, all comes apart and slots in the stock? How's accuracy? Shot a buddy's PPQ; is on my shortlist once the RPAL gets here. It's basically the same gu...

Yes, nice how you ignore Russia and China are acting exactly the same on this issue, and that the cluster bombs in question here almost certainly came from the ...

You know it sucks being a Saints fan and looking from the outside at the playoff picture, but there's one thing I can be happy about: Mark Sanchez isn't my starting QB. :lol: Holy Shit, Mark Sanchez Sucks, Reports New Study December 18, 2012 By PFM Staff Mark Sanchez, the fourth year quarterback of...

IMO there's way too much focus on the gun aspect of this incident. Lack of guns doesn't stop crazy Examples It doesn't stop the crazy, but you gloss over the fact that all of those attacks put together killed as many people as this one shooting. That's why there's focus on the gun aspect. Well the ...

The appeal to save it lost btw, because it turned out the RCMP where right and it was easily converted to full auto. And a new varient will be in Canada in May (i ordered one), so the oft told tale actually has a happy ending and we should thank the RCMP fro a quick catch. If they hadn't found it f...

I could get on board with that. Why shouldn't we have required training/safety, registered items, periodic review/retesting, etc. for guns just as we have for other dangerous things? If you can't afford to properly care for and secure your firearms maybe you shouldn't have them. I'm not comfortable...

Or another comparison - automobiles kill ~40,000-50,000 Americans a year, yet there is no impetus to restrict licensing, impose or enforce new laws, and safety changes to vehicles that cost money are resisted fiercely. Apparently, most Americans are will to accept that level of carnage in return fo...

re: warm water That would probably be a bad idea; wouldn't that accelerate the heat loss? some temporary warmth that would last all of a few seconds, then much misery.

Jerry the Vampire wrote:The Imperial War Museum is quite interesting also.

As mentioned, it is currently undergoing heavy renovation. most of the larger exhibits are moved out; and plenty of the neat stuff is at duxford.

IIRC it will be closed for a month or two in the new year (the London location)

I mentioned this in the Leveson thread a few minutes before this popped up, seeing as the conversation had taken that turn. I wonder if it will spur even more outcry to get some sort of controls/checks on what people like this can get away with; at the very least I should hope someone brings the DJs...

The receptionist in question that was duped killed herself, her body was found this morning.

I'm less concerned with how and more concerned with why. I'm really wondering if they are doing this (and shutting down their airports) because they are going to start using Chemical Weapons and don't want outside eyes on it. The last time they cut the internet for a short blip, they shelled/bombed...

Avoid the main IWM, it's undergoing renovations. A lot of the bigger and worthwhile exhibits (read: aircraft) are at Duxford. Portabello market is nice but kind of overhyped. There's a nice gelato place there. also. GO TO DUXFORD. It's about 50 miles north of London; can be a pain to get to unless y...

Pretty badly actually. Has a rare type of rib dislocation- if he plays again too soon and gets hit, it could puncture his aorta.
