Next question – anyone here mix with tobacco? All teh rage in Europe, and for a non-[tobacco]smoker, it's actually pretty neat. My first inhales of tobacco ever were in spliff form. Ah, the memories.

I love doing that. Cleaning out the tobacco from the first half of a cig and putting a bud in. Not only is it pretty cool with the tobacco and the weed mixed, but the filter makes the hit nice and smooth. Not like a bubbler mind you, but still very nice. And plus, it means i can blaze at school, which is a major plus.

That it was interesting you were able to shoot an automatic weapon, especially one as notorious as an Uzi-brand. It was fully auto, correct? And a civilian version? Right?

I don't know the details of the gun. Story goes, we're in his yard (he lives in Yonkers, a suburb of New York City, and has quite the little tract of land), and he was telling me about the gun of the brother. We ask the brother bout it, he says sure (chill dude). Set up some cans, then the story i already told unfolds. I don't know if it was civillian or otherwise.

By the time you've amied and plugged mr. random black dude in teh head, mr. random black dude #2 has already killed you.
You've obviously never been around black people.

Very sorry, but you are mistaken. I was just pointing out that Black People Who Have Been Ravaged By Natural Disaster + Angry Toothless Redneck Waving Around An Assault Weapon = Dead Cracker.

You ever seen the movie Zulu? Or the battle of Algiers? People will do some crazy shit when there's a cracker waving a gun at them.
I saw The Matrix and The Transporter. Black people always die first. At least, that's what the movies told me.

Except Zulu and Battle of Algiers are true stories. About how no matter how big your guns are, you can still be beaten to death by an angry mob.

Damn straight he does. Thats why he has secret concentration camps in Washington DC.
I've got two mothers and a cousin there.

The soldiers came for us the other day. My mother hid us under the trap door in the cellar. They dragged daddy away. I'm scared, I don't know when he will come back.

Oh really? Interesting.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

If you just pull down on the trigger, not only does the gun recoil so hard that you end up shooting clouds with the second half of the clip, but the clip unloads in the span of about 5-10 seconds. So you have aprox 7 seconds to live with your precious assault rifle before some dude shanks you in the skull.
Oh you could be smart and use a bullet per person. Just because the gun is full-auto capable doesn't mean you can't aim the first shot. Which, coincidentally, is enough to kill a person.

By the time you've amied and plugged mr. random black dude in teh head, mr. random black dude #2 has already killed you.

You think a crowd of black people would really want to waste 20 or so lives to get into some guys house? Fuck no, they'll just go over to your neighbor, Joe Liberal, and steal his shit.

Sylvos:

Although you are right that a majority of assault weapons used in crimes come from the black market, the black market gets its guns from teh legal market. If you cut off its supply of guns, cracking down on illegal assault weapon trafficking becomes much easier, since the system isn't constantly being supplied with new guns, which makes inforcement neigh impossible.

You really underestimate peoples fear of getting shot. you could unload so many bullets so fast you dont need to worry about getting "stoned yo death"

You totally miss the point. When you have civil unrest you have total anarchy. now not everypne participates in the anarchy. some merely stay at home hoping the mob will ignore them. If you have an assault weapon and stand by the door and say move along you know they will ignore you.

Not including millions more gypsies, slavs, homosexuals, and communists. Saying that the camps were all fun and good is the biggest bullshit ever in the wolrd. Read Mein Kampft, Hitler SPECIFICALLY SAYS that his goal is to purge the world of all 'inferior races' like jews etc... so that the 'master race' can live freely. You are a moron.

The possesion of a nuclear arsenal is justified by a theory called Mutually Assured Destruction/Massive Retaliation. This theory states that hostile attacks on a country are detered by the threat of nuclear violence, and nuclear violence is deterred by massive nuclear war. This theory has been proved time and time agian by a branch of mathematics called game theory. It would take a three week intensive course to explain the in's and out's of the theory to you, but lets just leave it at the fact that if two parties in a conflict have nuclear arms, the percentage of them (assuming they are rational and well informed -- they are playing the same game) actually going to war is staggaringly lower than if they only posses conventional weapons. Nukes are a symbol, a deterant if you will, not a real weapon to be used.

Response to: Assault Weapons Posted February 1st, 2006 in Politics

I'm of two minds on this. From my standpoint as an american and a man, my view is hell yes we should have automatic weapons! Guns are cool. Explosions are cooler. But of course, putting aside my visceral phalic desire for huge guns, my view as a concerned citizen is that no, there is absolutely no legitimate reason to own an assault rifle -- handguns or at the very most shotgns should be used for home defense, and shotguns or rifles should be used for hunting. If you want to play with that M-16, join the army.

Response to: What formed you... Posted February 1st, 2006 in Politics

I'm in a stage of political transition right now. Those people who know me when I first came to Newground will know, that a year or two ago, I was a hardcore knee-jerk liberal. You know what I mean, the whole thoughtless 'Bush is the devil' kind of reaction to everything. But partly because of these forums, but mostly because of my ultra-liberal hippie school, (quote from urban dictionary: "if you are one bit to the right of center, prepare to get your conservative ass raped by a liberal cock"). I've seen just how out of toutch with reality modern liberalism is, and that fact, as well as my experience with my too-rich-for-their-own-good peers who split their time between waving stupid plackards about bush must go and all that crap and snorting coke off public urinals, because they don't need to do well in school because they have trust funds waiting that will keep them comfortable for the rest of their natural fucking days, has pushed me to the right of where I was, to a much more middle-of-the-road position. Sorry bout that rant.

I rode that wave here. Heh.

It's sort of odd. Where did this trend come from? It hasn't been in the news. It'd be an interesting sociology project, tracking the rise and fall of certain topics in this forum. Someone should do it.

its just crowd mentality. Let us say that when one thread is made about a topic, the subsiquent persentage of a thread about the same topic being made is X. If a second thread is made, there is a slightly higher percentage. if a third thread is made, the percentage of a fourth thread being made is astronomically higher than the percentage chance of the second or third thread being made. And the 5th thread is virtually assured. Under this mathematical model, the percentage of a thread being made is perhaps X*1.25^Y, wih Y being the number of previous posts about it after the first, and X being the base percentage. However, by this model, after a certain number of topics about a subject, an infinite number would have to be made. So, we add a second part to the equation X*1.25^Y/*(5-Y)^Y, when Y is above 5. So, this takes into account the fact that after a certain number of threads on a topic, the wave dies down, and a new topic trend surfaces. THat equation isn't perfectly accurate, but I'm sure something like it models the trend.
