  1. Re:come and take them. please. on Mass Shooting Reported at Madden Video Game Tournament in Florida (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone really should make a gun that looks like a game controller.

    It would buy you a split second.

    I'm really surprised nobody has wrapped orange tape around their gun barrel before nutting up. Same reason.

    Is you country accepting pansies for permanent immigration?

    They complain, getting sick of ignoring them. Wish they would just leave.

    Europe NEEDED adult supervision in 1946. Left to their own, 20 year cycle, maximum...WWIII.

    Couldn't leave it to the Brits and frogs. We either had to rearm the Germans and nuke the Ruskies or guard the place for a century. We choose wisely. Sucks we gotta listen to the Euro's verbal flatulence. Rusky leaders LARPING 'superpower' for domestic consumption.

    You could neck down a 223 and chamber an AR-15 in 6.35. Wouldn't be great, but long skinny bullet. Cost a few bucks for the custom barrel and gunsmithing.

    Likely have to keep the powder loads real lite.

    At least rant about the right boogeyman. It's the dams that are holding back the silt that are wrecking coastal beaches.

    Floodplains flood. Hence the name. Makes for great soil. Worth losing 1 crop in x. Still a nice farming business.

    IF that is true, it just proves the poor and working class are STUPID.

    But I doubt it, the poor and working class watch their spending and don't buy as soon as they move. They might rent in the floodplain, but buy there? No.

    In Sacramento there are two classes of people living right next to dry creek. Tweekers and bay area transplants. Second group haven't seen the first flood yet, but moved right in. (So close to downtown!) Both groups are morons.

    If you're born here, you are native.

  8. What?

    They are all crazy. It just comes from never being told no.

    A _few_ start relatively sane, but 'cocaine IS a hell of a drug'.

    Actors (and musicians) emote for a living. It's not a surprise they are bad at reason.

    Just for example, when Sean Young was 'so fine you could boil her panties and make soup', nobody cared she was batshit. It's a definite problem for the old bat though.

    Gotta replace the silt backing up behind dams with something.

  10. In hollywood, a public image is an asset. Once someone is a 'star', they will be protected from consequences of their actions as the owners of the image have something to lose.

    Put bluntly, the owners of the 'Michael Jackson' image are now much richer. No more baby rapeing, cutting into their PR budgets.

    Think how much money was spent keeping Kevin Spacey employable.

    The 'talent' is, if anything, less stable (just being winners of a lottery of sorts), but their handlers are in force and the press is owned.

    Wonder Woman was/is soft bondage fantasy. Seriously, look up the creator. He loved him some golden lasso.

    They redefined 'mass shooting' about 3 years ago. It's much 'worse' since then.

    Both Europe and The US are big places. Both have many fine places to live.

    You think you're joking, but the 20th century certainly had more mass shootings in Europe than North America.

    Just the battle of the Somme alone.

    But leftist 'thought' discounts armed citizens as a check on government power, so resume idiocy.

    Cheer up. Judy Garland died a scabby junkie.

  22. Have you seen them touch tires? One often launches into the air.

  23. The car only collision will most likely be more elastic, the cars will carry more energy (spinning away) from the car only wreck.

  24. I've long believed the punishment for reckless driving should be a required steel spike sticking out of your steering wheel. No removing the airbag.

  25. Short bit of training my eye. Jumping more than a couple of hundred horsepower at a time is just dangerous.

    Granting that car has chicken shit traction control.

    This was a German style antisocial suicide, they call them 'ghost drivers' over there.
