Really TAN? Hey pot, I have kettle on line 3 for you! He says you're black.

Alright mr. Internet tough guy, I am going to share a story with you. This happened on liberty street in long branch New Jersey, in 1983 or 1984, I am sure you can find the news stories on google if you want to fact check me.

I was very young at the time, as I was born in 1980. My parents were divorced. My older brother and I lived with my mom. One night, my mother (awake at weird times due to weird nursing hours) heard someone coming into the house. She hollered "James, get the gun!" (James is my brother) and the guy bolted.

From our house, he went to our neighbors house. He tied up a the mother and daughter, made them watch him kill the father, then raped and killed the mother in front of the daughter, then raped and killed the daughter. Firearms saved my whole family's life that night. There was no practical chance of my mother fighting off a thug intent on harm. There was no chance of my 7-8 year old brother doing it. There was no chance of 3-4 year old me doing it.

The cops were *at our house* while our neighbors were being tortured raped and slain. This is a neighborhood, not a rural area like I live in now.

Now tell me again why that family shouldn't have had guns to defend themselves from that sick fluff. Tell me how they didn't deserve to live.

So scode, you don't think women should have the right to defend themselves from violent rapists? If Wladimir Klitschko decides to force himself on every woman he meets they should just have to take it?

Yeah, that doesn't sound like the GE I remember

Every situation is different. If someone I know takes a poke at me in the heat of an argument, we'll beat each other bloody and be friends the next day. Been there done that.

If I am out and about and a random comes at me, I cannot guess their intent. I cannot ascertain their level of skill. All I can do is judge what I see, and if what I see is 300 lbs of pissed off charging at me, game over.

There you guys go, ruining a fun ribbing session with facts lol

Here you go, more fodder to call me crazy, I am passing firearm safety on to another generation. You're not invited when the zombies come. :P

FTR, I am usually not on the side of the cops. When the perp clearly initiated the confrontation, it is a different story.

[quote poster=H4xOr WaNgEr; 32845; 593621][quote poster=VicRattlehead; 32845; 593611]Good to see that TAN is still dumb. Some things never change.

Shoot center mass. If the target doesn't go down shoot again.

Actually, when I shoot I practice firing twice rapidly, then sidestepping, then firing twice, etc., so waiting for him to go down wouldn't happen.

Nationwide, fists are already recognized as lethal force. By the accepted legal standard, he was in danger of his life and thus is justified in shooting the [kid]. [/quote]

That is so out of touch with reality it is almost offensive. Nobody deserves to die over a fist fight, and in the vast majority of circumstance neither party would expect a fight to end with a mortality. Considering yourself to be in "life threatening danger" over a fist fight is pretty far fetched, and clearly anyone shooting over such things places little value in human life.

A third of the population would probably be dead via gunshot wound if fistfights were the standard for killing.

Sure people die in fist fights but it is very uncommon. Most fist fights get broken up when it is clear one side is "done". [/quote]

I didn't say I thought it should be that way, I said it is. Legal precedent matters, and the precedent is that for the purposes of self defense cases, fists are lethal weapons.

TAN, glad you remember me as a gun loony haha I am one of he he safest people with firearms you'll meet. Friend me on FB and I will show you pictures of many people shooting in safety at my folks farm.

Okie dokie PM the address I'll be right there

Ford is gonna drag down your average. :P

Ford, maybe we can screw up our destock together, like old times!

Hmm, if you are interested in some help or advice I am sure most of us would be willing to help.

16? I thought it was 20. Uh oh.

Yeah, you'd probably be better off with him though lol I will try not to eff it up.

Lolwut? Ok.

... And is this the cooperative server they try first?

I see a couple here, and got an in game message from one. I don't remember many newbs last time I was around. Encouraging.

Eff that, I am farming you down! Make way for my f15s!

Ok then, I remember sf. What's up brother?

Man, I talked with him on the phone one of my last few days playing back in '11, didn't realize his number was so close to being up. :( lame.

Ok, so I will get that on my phone I guess thanks. Any apple people?

Well that explains why the mibbit isn't working. How about the apps? Any thoughts?

I am having trouble with the mibbit thing on my device. What is a good (free) app? I already got two from the App Store, mango and IRC999, but I can't figure out how to join the right server.

In my defense, I am kind of an idiot.

Also don't hit people with lots of tanks. That is a bad idea.

You think that's enough? My experience this last express reset suggests it isn't, and I was teching so not real fat.

Kalashnikovs of course tovarisch.

...restarting is *so much better* now!

And yes, ftr, I got a kill and a death my first day back at war lol

I think half of those grabbed me lol that's ok, express is kikd mainlining this game I learned mostly what i wanted to.

I apparently don't haha, but in the past a rep for AB retals usually kept most "known" folk away from me on solo servers. Any particular tricks popular now?

Link made a tag. Join it. It is "triforce." I have played with link in the past, it should be fun.

I don't think link plans to net haha superfly, you the guy who used to run collossally fat commies?

Link... I hope you find your ganon. :)

Lol I was quiet grabbing this set, relearning how to play a little. Got too fat early and gave you top guys some land tech and cash

I have decided this will be my "netting" server for now. Good luck with the war.

Confirmed, paolo is a boss.

Seconded on the lots of children thing. Kids - your own - are the greatest thing ever. :)

I appreciate the addition of the ms paint pic.

There were people who thought like me. We might have even been a majority. We fought to keep the server from turning into alliance 2.0. We were forced to adopt alliance style tactics to fight the alliances. The hypocrisy nearly exploded our heads. It also kept many like minded players from joining. The alliance style advocates of course won out, and my side either caved in or left the server.

There is already alliance for "big" tags, and FFA for bigger ones. I always thought team didn't make sense as alliance server with multiple tags per clan.

Scode - not much.

See my comment on the other dec.

I wish I had two more hands so I could give this wardec four thumbs down.

We need an imag dec with ms paint pics done by children with Down's syndrome.

Lame. Sometimes those are the best part of the whole war.

Are wardecs not a thing anymore?

As an Indy, and also as a techer, what makes you the most $ on a sale isn't necessarily the optimal thing to produce.

Seriously, 0 turrets? Ok.

Why do you want a server that mimics exactly another one? This never made sense to me.

Yeah, time to switch to jets lol

...and fascist/industrialist is not a strat that screams "I know what I am doing."
