Well it wasn't so much a gun thread as a having fun thread , until the least tolerant, most opinionated, abusive keystroker in the world got involved. Sad indeed.
Sorry 'bout that.

And by-the-way this is my thread about Special Stage, not about your hoplophobic fears that don't trump my right to self defense.
Like a thread on Rally Anarchy had never gone off topic before.
Also, I'm not afraid of weapons, but I do have some fear of paranoids who think they need them for self defense. (Not saying some people don't legitimately need them)

Stay in Canada with your baby seal clubbing comrades.
Seal clubbing is horribly misunderstood and misrepresented.

Hahahaha unnntttsssss unnntttsssss

I'm not paranoid and I carry. Bad people do bad things. Kind of like seat belts. You can go a million miles with no incedent and on the millionth and one, get in a wreck by no fault of your own, where you actually needed it. To eac their own in my book.

I still don't get the fascination with gun ownership and rights south of the border.

Umm....looks like you might have a few up there that could be concerned with gun ownership rights up there as well......

I'm with ya Dane. I carry also, have for years. Guns are the best equalizer and self defense we currently have. Being big or in numbers has nothing to do with being right, correct or fair. There is no such thing as a fair fight. Too many mall shootings, theater shootings, bus stop incidents, CL robberies. 911 usually is for ordering body bags.

But back to Jens , with Twitter going public and all the twits having a voice FB will continue the downward slide. One of the largest scams ever, eclipsing Maddoff easily.

Canada's got some pretty rediculous gun laws. My dad almost went to the electric chair once because the border found a loose .223 FMJ round in the car trailer. I guess fmj are on par with nukes up there....

eh.. you can get damn near that for a spent casing in DC smiling smiley

What was this thread about again?

Ah yeah.. a forum dying.. I find forums useful for meeting people that I don't know on subjects that I like. FB is kinda almost handy for keeping in contact with people I already know.

Twitter.. ugh.. and a good number of my ex bosses work there smiling smiley.

If I never hear the words 'user engagement' again It'll be too soon. I found I'm too anti social to work on social media code smiling smiley...

I like this place because somehow there's a bunch of smartass actual car builders here.

Agreed. There comes a time though where helping those who won't help themselves becomes parasitic.

Dhimmitude? Only thing ringing a bell is something about non Muslims surrendering and enlisting in the Muslim army. In exchange for them keeping their lives they became bitches or dhimmitudes in the army. Probably not where you were going with that lol. Enlighten me?

Whew. Good. It was some anti-muslim right wing propaganda going around recently about that word being in the ACA. Yeah, you have pretty much the definition, not sure on enlisting in army, but basically the term for non-muslims that live in muslim conquered locations...

Read an interesting article thing with Mike Rowe today (maybe he should be president?) ironically on The Blaze. Anyhow, one thing that struck me was that of the unfilled jobs in the market, something like 10% of them require a degree.

Back on topic. I look at specialstage classifieds only anymore. Did a search the other day while chatting with a friend with an Open Light car that is looking for suspension and we were talking about the Clubman RSSP ones there. No shit, I had to watch a video advertisement to do a search on there. Guess I'll stick to using google to search that site...
