I don't know that the patriot act is any more unfriendly than Clinton's know your customer plan...The idea that my bank and doctor, and certain businesses would report my activities to government was very disturbing to me, to say the least...in many ways, even more disturbing than the patriot act...

I suppose it is possible that I, as a law abiding citizen, could get swept up in some anti terrorist action...but under Clinton's plan, my activities would be reported every day regardless of whether I was under any particular investigation or not...given a choice of two distasteful options, I would opt for the patriot act...


It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

PH: "I came to an understanding of the need for citizen arms ownership to prevent gov tyranny."

How, practically, does gun ownership prevent government tyranny? The tyrants will always be able to far outgun the would-be untyrannized. And in addition to these few principled individuals who wish only to neutralize excessive govenment interference in their lives (by blowing away the tax inspector or perhaps an overzealous dog-catcher) there are the legions of nutjobs for whom the weapon is an ersatz extension of their inadequate penis. These are the people who have the potential to go postal, and regularly do.

So it seems to me that freely available firearms amount to a vain gesture by the relatively small stay-out-of-my-life crowd while rendering highly dangerous any number of trigger-happy loonies.

And don't hospital records bear this out, with gunshot wounds now an epidemic in US cities, and those suffereing them seldom the agents of federal oppression but rather various criminal elements or just people who were in the wrong place at he wrong time?

that's pretty damn sweet man.. i've been meaning to buy a quality model kit for some time now. heh, things keep coming up instead though. like impulsive wants - namely beer. :)

i'd spend lots of time on various model makers' sites, looking for the perfect kit... looked so much i'd end up getting myself dizzy, and lost interest.


hope for america...

Eeep... Pale RIder, I haven't even seen your posts yet and already I am intimidated by you! =x With that kind of physique you look like you could crush Rocky Balboa or something. o_o

This topic is very interesting... I must admit that I have wondered what some members have looked like for some time now (and how old they are). I do have bragging rights to seeing Sean's pic though! Nyah~ =PpP

Hm I'd post my picture, but I have no camera at the moment. Maybe when I get paid next I will buy a digital camera and take some pictures to post here. ^^

Nice picture BTW Pooey. =P You should post more!

Well, I think I had a 90%+ chance of getting it right, what with the both of us living in the North Western hemisphere and have easy access to PC & Net.

I grew up in the Rural areas, funnily enough I don't have an accent, well I might have a standard accent, which is what the News broadcasters in Britain speak like.

I can also speak Cantonese semi fluently, though having only learnt it for 4 years, alot has been forgotten...
