@OmSigDAVID,
if you said it once, passingly, sure. but you state it again and again, often as a non-sequitur, upon which you launch into a description of your favorite guns and machine guns... you do boast about your gun history, i don't see what is there to explain.

I might revel in remembering it and speak of it fondly,
as of having had a fine meal, or having listened to beautiful music,
but my possession of guns was not an ACCOMPLISHMENT of mine,
as if I were bragging of great accuracy at long distances.

When I bring it up, it is usually to make a point,
concerning the subject matter of the discussion,
be it safety in firearms handling, or better personal protection from crime, etc.
It did not occur to me that anyone woud consider that to be boasting.

I was only trying to encourage readers to be properly prepared
for predatory emergencies, the same as if I encouraged everyone
to buy good health insurance
; if I suggested that u get as good insurance
coverage as I have, is that bragging ?


Possession of a defensive gun IS health insurance, as I see it.

@OmSigDAVID,
from your point of view.

from here it looks like boasting, it walks like boasting, it quacks like boasting... but whatever. that was not the point. it doesn't make you a more graceful loser was the point. it can make you feel all macho and butch, but won't provide you with integrity and inner strength.

If it ever comes up again, please tell me how to say it in such a manner
that it will not sound like boasting.

The forces of evil have captured the White House, and the Congress.
There is nothing left.

Is there a benefit in having the forces of evil think that I am GRACEFUL ?

Quite possibly the most intelligent thing you've done in years, David. Rejoice that you're making great strides towards becoming a better person.

Is it just me, but does the regular calling Obama Oboy stink ever so slightly of racism?

Or is it just stupidity?

I don't understand . . . is there a distinction to be made between racism and stupidity?

I wonder how the civilized people felt just before the fall of Rome.

@Setanta,
bit hard to tell from this distance.

All racism is stupidity - but all stupidity is not racism - they're bloody creative - the stupid!

@OmSigDAVID,
Mmmmmm, like they were living in a civilization that had overextended its material and personal resources through occupation of foreign lands?

Like they shouldn't be sweetening their wine with lead acetate?

Like they were going about their regular lives, plus or minus the occasional interference of centurions or marauders, during a centuries-long decline of a central governing apparatus that was very good at moving water?

What drama.

Why would you need to tell it again? We've all heard it tens of times.

the rest -- Rolling Eyes whatever.

@Setanta,
Can someone give me the 2-line explanation of why there is no freedom in US now that there is a change of government?

Ranters and racists need not apply!

@patiodog,
In addition, PPD, members of the equestrian class, acting for the senatorial class, ran huge slave-driven operations which increasingly depended on government military contracts, and which drove small farmers and small craftsmen out of business, creating a huge unemployed underclass which relied upon state welfare to survive.

@margo,
Because we've just elected a president whose proposed policies are almost as liberal as those of your average European government, where, as you know, children are takeninto bondage at the age of 18 months.

I don 't believe thay had any bigots yet.

I think the first bigot was a Viking who was captured by the English
and brought to the King, whose foot the Viking refused to kiss,
violating a custom, when he said something like "not me, bi Got" meaning: not me, by God.
