    I can show you a million of these....numbers aren't pictures...ever been to Cambodia and seen kids shaking down tourists for cigarettes with AK 47s? I have. You should know stats can and often are doctored to portray a talking point...we did that for Nixon daily under order and oath

    Fake news. Arms manufacturers have developed a myriad of safety features and equipment that has saved countless lives in war and on the streets and in homes. Everything from armor plated vehicles, bulletproof glass, Kevlar vests, helmets...private sector and government both.

    helmets I agree with...one saved my life on a naval base while driving my motorcycle when broadsided by a car of drunken sailors....but I must ask....when is the last time bulletproof glass and Kevlar saved your life Maris and what are the chances either ever will?

    Mostly unrelated to the topic, but I just spent the last 3 weeks in Cambodia. Good times.

    This alone is an interesting subject....yesterday's stable professional could in a nano second become tomorrow's mental...the timing of a human's ability to snap and exhibit irrational behavior is completely random and in most cases uncontrolable

    About 30% of all murder victims are shot in the back.

    I couldn't afford to own a guy. No fucking way.

    I wanted to steal a white Tiger cub from the strip years ago after I got to pet it for a few seconds. I called it off the stage "here Kitty kitty" and it ran over and put it's huge paws on my knee and I got to pet it before the handler ran down to get it.
    I couldn't have fed the damn thing anyway.

    One of my vet buddies has lived there since his discharge from the Navy...he comes around occasionally and asks me to invest in his Karaoke bar...too frickin' humid in the subtropics...I couldn't spend more than 6 weeks there without needing to dry out

    Pretty clear fake thread started by a Russian bot with 2 more Russian bots supplying the cliche’ replies in the second and third posts. All 3 “joined” the board after Russia started flooding the internet with these rabble rousers. :cheers:

    first rule of the internet is to keep it in perspective...people think English rules the internet but it really doesn't....I've helped friends find resources for products they can't find here stateside ....glass artists....a handful of suppliers in an English search...search in mandarin and there are thousands of results....Spanish ...same...we are in essence language snobs when it comes to information in general
