  1. ......And this is why Nacku is the Ying to my Yang.
  2. Well, considering you put that goat-roping song on, I would have to say YES.
  3. Watch. Learn. Become enlightened.
  4. Shame on you Nack. Jesus himself could come down for a convo, and HE would have to wait till 46&2 was over.
  5. LMFAO, good one Gaypoc.
  6. Here's the image, if anyone wants to tackle this for them.
  7. I enjoyed it! Why The Gun Represents Civilization By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it. In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some. When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single gay guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender. There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations.. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly. Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable. When I possess a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation...and that's why gun possession is a civilized act.

  8. Add at the end of it man.
  9. LOL, dude it was a joke. I actually made the text larger, but Im fighting with it because it.....well it doesnt fit well. Gimme a bit to work it, or take it as is, I dont care either way. It's YOURS, not mine, so whatever you want man.
  10. WOW Mac, I never knew that. You just made porn hunting THAT much better!!!
  11. I Like em Affliction. I disagree with Goose about the sizing, but I think that is merely preference.
  12. LOL, I agree. My kids watch the "Goonight Show" every night on Sprout. Feels similar.
  13. Ms Apple, I have never been anything but polite and courteous to you. I for one expect the same in return. Make no mistake, Tow NEVER asked APCers to delete their accounts. We do it on our own accord, according to what WE as "grown men" chose to do. Was it due to the current happenings? No. That was merely the final straw. If you look at my activity on your forums, you will see that it has waned over the past few months. It's mainly due to the fact that the only things I found worth reading or interacting with was fellow UFers (of which the exact SAME info was available here at UF) threads, or occasionally your contests. Other than that, it had seemed like your forums were becoming overrun by a younger group of gamers, and I simply chose to stay over here and other clans forums that were more within my age group. THAT is NOT to say that DV8 doesn't have some good members, or anything to offer. Just not for me. Then you add to the fact that my PRIVATE email is attached to that account and I receive 40-80 emails for every announcement, and darlin I simply had my belly full of the entire thing. I hope you can respect my wishes, the same as I afforded you at anytime. Thats all I got on this mess.
  14. Man J, your sister is gonna be PISSED when she finds out your givin out her digits.
  15. Damn, Tow beat us to it.
  16. ......................so what your saying is that there is still a good chance it's a chick, right?
  17. Ive been "Truck Tubin" myself. ;D I wrapped my brother's leg around a telephone pole. Good times, good times.
