It's a rough cold world out there so come on inside for a little respite from it all.
We have drinks and discussion topics. And no one hassles you about the not wearing pants thing.
"Jamie Foxx on 'SNL' - 'Great' to Kill White People in New Movie."- Big Hollywood, December 9th, 2012.
"Jamie Foxx Says Film Violence Inspires Real-life Violence."
- Big Hollywood, today.
Factual Weapons For Defending the 2nd Amendment
Whenever there's a tragic shooting the Democrat-Media industrial complex always has the same answer - banning guns - despite the Constitution which is like a hundred years old or something.
Well Bookworm has done the heavy work of gathering together facts for refuting the usual arguments calling for gun control.
Note that the US has a violent crime rate per 100,000 of just 470 which puts us below every single single country in the above list - all of which have far more restrictive gun laws than the US.
Read the rest here. It pretty much demolishes the case for gun control and shows that a lot of the 'facts' used to justify restricting guns aren't actually true.
Republicans are at their highest level of control of state governments in 60 years and completely control 24 states (governor and legislature). That's a far cry from the suck year of 1976 where the GOP controlled zero states.
Obama to Push Gun Control in Second Term
Even before Sandy Hook it was already on the agenda according to anti-gun activists:
"I am certain Obama thinks our gun laws are insane, and he doesn't ever have to run for office again," said Ladd Everitt, spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. "It won't be lost on many people that a sportscaster was willing to speak out about the issue but Obama hasn't found the guts to take on Republicans yet."
Everitt said White House aides have privately assured gun-control advocates that the president would tackle the issue in his second term but didn't commit to specific proposals.
It's been around since medieval times but didn't become popular until the New World made it its own:
Egg-based drinks found new popularity in the American colonies, where nearly everyone had access to cows, chickens, and rum.
Nutritious and relatively stable, eggnog was our first health drink. If you ask me, sipping it is our patriotic duty.
The Space Helmets in Nearly Every Movie
Seven Psychotic Pieces Of Relationship Advice From Cosmo
Pretty much everything a guy does or doesn't do means he's cheating or about to break up with you.
#7. He Shares the Details of His Day, Therefore He Must Be Hiding Something
"Don't be fooled by a guy who offers up tons of minor bits of information about where he's been or what he's been doing. At first, it may seem that because he can describe so much, he must be truthful. But he could actually be trying to cover his ass. 'If he's telling a story and you notice he's peppering it with insignificant details, that's a warning sign,' says Driver.
Which reminds of the classic Ace post from 2007, A Truly Helpful Periodical: The Ace of Spades Women's Magazine, Written By Men which has these tidbits:
"Realizing That Every Time Your Feelings Are Bruised By Somebody It Isn't A Fucking Disaster""Every Thought Doesn't Have to Be Expressed"
"Letting Your Man Decompress From a Hectic Day Before Barraging Him WIth Every Detail of Your Day"
"The Words That Come Out Of His Mouth: The Secret Source Of What A Man Is Really Trying To Tell You!"
The comments are even better and could have easily been turned into a book - but I guess that's $3.7 million dollars that the ewok will never see.

So, I'm female and have a female best friend. Nothing fishy. I'm not interesting enough to be non-heterosexual. And just so you know, I tend to talk a lot. Although it's been a lot less in the last few years.
Well, said best friend and I have hit and run conversations where she barrages me with rapid fire meaningless details of her day at work, asks me a token question or two, and then goes right back into rapid fire meaningless details.
Sigh.
I think her husband owes me something for this, since it's pretty apparent I'm doing his job.

One of the common arguments that I hear from libs is a variation of "An armed populace can't stand up to a modern military with tanks and APCs and fighters, so there is no longer any need to have military style assault weapons. You can't defend against the government despite your little fantasies."
My prepared response is, "Have you turned on the TV in the last decade? We've spent ten years hunting 14th C. shepherds around an area the size of Texas and we still haven't defeated them. An armed rebellion across an area the size of the US, with access to modern technology and knowledge, would be a nightmare for any military let alone one that was facing defections, desertions, and infilatration by rebels.

3D Printing. People are already making guns via this new technology. The guns fail after a handful of rounds, but it is still a gun. And printed guns will get better as technology improves.
Gun control is gonna be impossible because digital control is so difficult.

The following phrase will allow you to safely navigate the Holidays on the Mobbiot River.
"I am thrilled Obama was reelected so he can show me what an economic genius he is. I look forward to the continued assassinations, and am thrilled he is openly discussing undermining the 1st, 2d, 4th, and 10th amendments. As a person who agrees the United States is the living embodiment of evil and that Happy Face Fascism is the answer to the planet's perils I sincerely hope he gives you everything you want."

So, one of the methods used to protect heavy bombers from radio detection was chaff, strips of aluminum foil that returns a lot of noise to radar receivers. On several different mornings, troops on the North Shoulder as well as Bostogne looked out at sunrise and saw the majestic evergreens of the Ardennes festooned with foil strips, just as if someone had decorated them for Christmas. It was inspiring, and spooky.

I was just leaving a gas station once and noticed a woman who had pulled up to a pump with her gas spout on the wrong side. I'm watching her try to pull the the hose far enough to get the nozzle into where it needs to go. She's looking down and to her left as she pulls the hose with her left hand while the nozzle is in her right hand pointed skyward. She doesn't realize that because she's pulling hard her right hand naturally clenches and she's in the process of dispensing gallons of gasoline onto the hood of her SUV.
First, get the nozzle into the spout before activating the pump. Second, how can someone not realize that gasoline is spraying all over the place? Sense of smell? Sense of hearing?

The UK underclass does have its "multicultural" aspect, as we all found during the mostly-black riots last year, and in various terrorist acts any year - but our whites are just as bad in petty crimes, as we'll probably find in our next riot. Why that should be, I don't know.

I don't know the exact strategy of the powers behind Westboro, but I'm pretty sure they have a strategy, and I distrust their endgame. Just a feeling.

Margie Phelps has a job with the State of Kansas, she is also a lawyer. Disbarred doesn't matter. They have always been about forcing confrontations so that they could use the legal system to get what they want. I have always thought they were plants for some political position but I just don't know for what. Old man Phelps has I think 2 or 3 children who have openly disowned them so I think their influence is somewhat constrained to the legal system. In other words, they do not have much of a following.

The play was set in 1980's Britain during the coal miners' strike. Thatcher's government wouldn't back down from the miners' union demands and thus began a year long strike, during which the miners and their families lived in increasingly degrading conditions. The playbill made sure to point out the hundreds of thousands of jobs lost and placed the blame for the collapse of the British coal industry squarely at the feet of Mrs. Thatcher.
And what we end up with is the story of a young boy with a natural talent for dance, struggling to find his way through a culture of manly coal miners, punctuated by dances choreographed to "Solidarity Forever" and characters wearing Che t-shirts. Within this celebration of all things socialist, the playwrights even had the audacity to include a number professing that all we need is "individuality." I guess even playwrights will sacrifice their creativity on the altar of ideology.
All in, I still enjoyed Billy Elliot, but it sure would be nice to be able to fully succumb to the fantasy and not have the experience tainted by someone using a play as a tool of indoctrination.
I wanted to enjoy a play. I had to endure a lecture.

I can't believe any adult woman over the age of 25 reads Cosmo. Posted by: Niedermeyer's Dead Horse at December 16, 2012 09:40 PM (piMMO)
Me neither. How many times can you read "How to Drive Your Man Wild in Bed" and "Is He Cheating On You?" Those are the 2 basic Cosmo articles, recycled and reworded thousands of times since the magazine was founded.
When I was young, I used to enjoy reading the January issue with the horoscopes for the year (or I should say the "Whoreoscope issue. A friend of mine called it the Slutscope). As I recall, it read "You'll ring in the New Year making hot love to a lusty Aries, but you'll soon tire of his controlling ways and you'll escape his clutches with a handsome Libra you'll meet on the ski slopes in Aspen. But his indecisiveness will get tiresome, and you, you mischievous minx of a Leo, won't be able to resist a quick fling with a hot Scorpio in the elevator at work. On the 20th, you'll be swept off your feet by a handsome Taurus..."
According to the Cosmo horoscope, you'd be banging a different guy every 5 days or so... Oh, and each sign got it's own signature "erotic outfit" which was always something like crotchless satin underwear and matching nipple clamps.

Modern monarchies can't work.
Monarchy is a very good transition from tribalism/strong man-ism.
It provides incentives for one man to break the aristocracy/warlords because it is in his own interest to do so while at the same time restricting him with tradition.
But in the modern area where tradition means little and the problem is not petty warlords fighting each other, but the united focus of bureaucrats working together, it is almost the opposite of what will help with our current woes.

I always wondered if to battle attempts at gun control it might be possible for gun/ammo manufacturers to refuse to sell to police forces. It might not work against a federal attempt, but I could never figure out why any company would sell guns or ammo (or body armor) to, say, the Chicago police force. They should just say "If you think our products are evil then we will spare you the temptation."
I imagine that they would suddenly face a mountain of lawsuits from various government agencies.

Not only will it happen, it is happening, by other means.
And I am willing to bet the bill will get about 20 GOP votes in the Senate.

Step 2 - Registration lists magically morph into confiscation lists. If you can't produce everything you registered, and it wasn't previously reported stolen, then you're a felon and will be dealt with very harshly.

Posted by: boulder hobo at December 16, 2012 10:27 PM (QTHTd)
To get your blood worked up a little bit more, Westboro does not thrive on anti-military money. It thrives on the money of the people they f'k over.
The scam they have going is that if you win a civil rights case in the U.S., you're entitled to reimbursement by the people you sued or the people who are suing you (this is due to the Civil Rights AttorneyÂ’s Fees Award Act of 1976). Since, Phelps, along with a bunch of his kids are lawyers, guess who gets paid?
So, what they do is act like total dicks. Get sued or have people try to stop them. Go to court. Collect a paycheck. Rinse. Repeat.
Maybe somebody should note this fact over the next few days, publicize it, and do something about it...

Here is my entire point. Once you are a criminal, you have no rights to weapons of any kind. Presto, change-o, we would all be criminals. They would take the weapons first, and make you prove that your rights to own them should be restored later. And, yeah, good luck with that.

You do NOT have to register guns in this country. You have to get an OK to buy a gun. It is not "registered". After you buy it you can do whatever the fuck you want with it. The fact that you purchased the gun does not mean you still own it or have any clue where it is.

They get sued all the time. Lawsuits are a function of being a large scale business. Nationalization would be a real risk. But my point is that these companies do have some leverage in that government agencies do need their products. And I think that one of the things that they can negotiate into their contracts is a "shut the fuck up about our products" clause.

Interesting about the lead foil--we had the stuff when I was a child, and I can remember Ma making us remove it carefully, and her ironing it to smooth it.
We still have some left we put on each year, and it gets smoothed after each use. Along with that there are a bunch of surviving glass bulbs that are over 65 years old. The kids will get them as part of our family tradition when we're gone--as it should be done.

2.) Pour two fingers Crown Royal (or your preferred adult beverage)
3.) Sip Crown Royal slowly while waiting for egg nog to cool
4.) Repeat daily for two weeks
5.) Discard the unopened carton of egg nog.

I've been to six colleges and as far as I remember only one had armed campus police.
The university in my hometown is Wichita State University. They have an actual police department with I think around 10 full time armed officers.
Posted by: Samuel Adams at December 16, 2012 10:42 PM (ZOf1l)
I went to a small school in rural Virginia, and the two campus cops were armed. To be fair, they weren't campus security but full fledged cops because we were out in the middle of nowhere.
The school had gun lockers where we stored our guns, for squirrels and such, and we were supposed to store them there. Being that we were in the middle of nowhere, we hunted a lot, especially in the morning before classes. So the "rule" was that you needed to return your gun as soon as possible, meaning that everyone pretty much just kept them in their trunks until hunting season started or ended, or the semester ended. Usually it was semester end.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — He spoke for a nation in sorrow, but the slaughter of all those little boys and girls left President Barack Obama, like so many others, reaching for words. Alone on a spare stage after the worst single day of his presidency, the commander in chief was a parent in grief.

The reason I got on Twitter is because it is the perfect tool for the rapid exchange of information. I used to us IM a lot, but many people skipped out to pots randomly on Facebook. AoSHQ is one of the only two places I know of where you can in effect have a conversation with a real live human being anymore.

Also, if you don't want me to tell you your new "cute pixy" haircut makes you look like a boy, don't ask.
Can't remember the last time I asked my husband what he thought of my hair. Like most men, he prefers it long, no matter how haggish it makes me look. And I like my hair short. So I cut it the way I want and don't ask his opinion of it. 28 years of (kinda) wedded bliss.

My hair is naturally curly and thick, so when it's long, it's unmanageable and I feel like my face is dwarfed by a mass of curls. (I didn't have to work at having "big hair" in the '80's.) Guys like it long but I have to keep it short(ish) if I want to be able to run a comb through it.

All these soft handed academics, politicians, and pundits pushing it - knowing they won't be doing the dirty work - might learn their actions have painful consequences.
If the police decide to be tools of oppression, they too will might learn that they are vulnerable. Right now, under the current ROE, they operate in a sweet spot: high authority, low personal accountability. If John Q. Public no longer believes in the system, well, that personal accountability part of the equation may change.

Obama was never poor.
No, he wasn't, but he was in The Narrative. A regular man of the people.
From his autobiography:
The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Proposition H San Francisco 2005, banned gun possession, transfer, and ammunition to only police and security professionals. You had 5 months to hand in your gun to authorities, no refund to buying cost, NO GRANDFATHER CLAUSE, This prop passed 58% to 42%, it got DESTROYED in the courts, lost all the way up to the California Supreme Court.

Not arguing with your point per se, but it is kind of vague. When I power-lifted, I'm pretty much convinced I did it the right way since I got so strong without any injuries. But just like an NFL player (which in no way am I comparing myself to) who retires and can barely walk, I'd have to say that other factors may weigh in as well.

Nope, my car just happens to be designed for someone about 3" shorter than me, and my commute makes it almost impossible to get the sun visors to block the sun. Driving home means a pretty constant shifting to avoid going blind. I think I just managed to shift wrong, and that's what did it.
I certainly can't think of anything else that would have done it.

I only give this as advice from one, But the only back trauma I've ever endured was a jet ski accident. So yes I get the pain but not if it lasts. All of my body now hurts at 50 (mostly my knees) but whining a bought these hurts seems sissie to me since I have family predecessors that pulled heir own teeth and have circumcised themselves.

Football and power lifting are unnatural acts for a human spine and the materials its made of, just like running/jogging on concrete is an unnatural act.

Step 1 - nationwide registration of everything. Then anyone who fails to register is an automatic felon and will be dealt with very very harshly to set the stage for Step 2.
Step 2 - Registration lists magically morph into confiscation lists. If you can't produce everything you registered, and it wasn't previously reported stolen, then you're a felon and will be dealt with very harshly.
This has been the pattern followed world wide.
Posted by: @PurpAv at December 16, 2012 10:54 PM
The confiscation thing is probably haggling. They open with a high price and then meet you where they will settle. Registration and limiting access to semi's shotguns and pistols. An active gun grab is expensive and confrontational. Suspect that they will look to grind you down. Eventually they'll get what they want by attrition. You either register or go underground. That, by and large has a similar effect. Once you're a felon facing something like 10 years or some such bullshit, you have to hide the damn things. Then, they become pretty much useless for anything but an all in situation. Can't keep them at your place. Can't carry. The threat of an eventual search becomes too much. Someone will rat you out. Even if you don't have them, anyone who knows something about you can drop a dime on you and say you have them, if you've crossed them. The govt can wait you out.

Oh, I've had plenty of "aches and pains," and I'm sure I'll accumulate more. This isn't one of those.
Of course, it also isn't self circumcision, either. Anyone who's done that can tell me to shut my pie-whole with impugnity.

My most recent comments to John Boehner, "Joh, if you give the Dems an inch they will bend you over and fuck ya." His reply, "Don't believe everything you read."
It's getting harder all the time to not believe what I'm reading. I came home thoroughly discouraged and pissed.

Yep. I used to be so proud that I weighed 275 pounds at 6 feet 1 inch and had only a 14% body fat that I overlooked what it could do in the long run. When I was lifting the only adverse effect I suffered was that my golf swing went to shit. Now I can't even play golf. Youth.....wasted on the stupid.

Just know it happened not the specifics (I'd guess alcohol was involved).

In the continuing assault on all things normal by the entertainment industry I give you this. One of the schience channels has a program called oddities. It's like Pawn Stars except their San Francisco shop specializes in wierd occult like crap. They have an ad out for the Christmas season set to a charol replacing the original word with hands of mummies, Tape worms and other wierd crap. Of course they are singing into a mummified hand or holding a preserved tapeworm in a jar. Real haha. Freaks.

Which means that the laws need to improved! We need to make it illegal to shoot your own mother in the face! We need to make car theft illegal! We need to make it illegal to come on to a school grounds and shoot the principal! We need to identify each one of those guns and make them all illegal!
That will solve EVERYTHING!!!

They are after all, like any smugglers, basically in the transportation business. The nature of the contraband is immaterial, only its profitability.

Maybe a red circle with a diagonal slash across a graphic with a gun.
And have Sen. Feinstein announce a new law. Or maybe 20 new laws. And let it cost the taxpayers out the ass to enforce it.
That will solve everything.

Yeah, I know, it sucks, the only choice is research and trying to puzzle out who is a credible source.
-waves hand-
The problem our country faces, is that it's far easier in most states to buy a large bore, 22 caliber fully automatic bolt action handgun with 500 round clip, than it is to buy a happy meal at your local McDonalds. To make matters worse, these military grade weapons fire solid lead 'cop killer' armor piercing bullets. A single round from one of these dangerous weapons can penetrate 18 inches of solid steel armor plate. The weapons, and ammo of choice of this nations most notorious gangs.
