Bwild: it's difficult for a person to throw a hammer 400 yards though.... n' not the competition side of the matter.

BTW... I don't think they'd be using assault rifles... not accurate enough.

Iamon lyme: Two more meteors were spotted yesterday over the west coast. There could have been more that were either not seen (over the ocean) or not reported... or only reported locally.

I don't know how anyone can see this as a mere coincidence. It's possible there are fragments traveling the same path as the asteroid, possibly due to some other asteroid slamming into it... and those fragments wouldn't necessarily be traveling in very close formation and proximity to the asteroid. I think scientists know this is a possibility, but don't want to be blamed for creating any unnecessary panic.

(V): I wouldn't use a hammer or a club either. I'd use a jack. But that's not the point. One can reasonably argue that there are many purposes for owning a gun. And I don't split hairs. I'm bald.

Bwild: And some people collect guns only for the purpose of a collection (as in rare guns). If I owned a gun it would be for protection. But likely I'd go to the shooting range regularly so I could learn to shoot. And I'd take a few classes so I'd learn to care for the gun etc. And then my two buddies would convince me to join their gun club that meets here locally. One friend even makes his own bullets. And he hasn't even killed anyone!

(V): Iamon lyme: "ooooOOOOoooo ... One could say the same about graduating from a conservative university.... but are they to be blamed for her saying dumb things... production team?? A HaNgOvEr????"

Chances are (given the position she has as an anchor at a major news network) that she IS a college graduate. And in light of WHO she is working for, the odds of her graduating from a liberal college is a safe bet... it would be listed on her resume. CNN panders to the left, so why would they hire conservative anchors and commentators to occupy key spots in their programming? I don't doubt there may be a few, but it would be for the purpose of not appearing biased.

I don't blame the school you went to for saying dumb things, but it was you who said she should be sent back to school. Schools are responsible for teaching, but it's the students who are responsible for what they learn. Taking what any teacher says as gospel regardless of the college or university is not wise, and it's the wisest teachers who encourage students to think for themselves.

(V): The most important lesson Obama has taught us is that no one is responsible for anything they say or do... unless they happen to be conservative, because they are responsible for everything that happens. Of the four clowns I've seen in the news (Obama, Pelosi, Reed and Biden) the one I have the most respect for is Biden. He at least doesn't try to cover up his goofiness or make too many excuses for himself. He's mostly busy making up excuses for everyone else.

Iamon lyme: Pelosi, Reed

Artful Dodger: ok... But an assault riffle is built for one purpose.. battle. N' the semi automatic version of the US own preferred main arms for it's military is still a gun built for battle.

Iamon lyme: It's a line from a film called "RocknRolla"... the context is not the same as usual!!

"The most important lesson Obama has taught us is that no one is responsible for anything they say or do... unless they happen to be conservative, because they are responsible for everything that happens."

Really!! How interesting. .... .... .... .... Is this line gonna be used forever more?

(V): So what? Just because I own an assault rifle doesn't mean I'm going to use it to attack people. Most people (the vast majority) don't use their guns that way.

Artful Dodger: It isn't though your average hunting rifle, is it!

You mentioned hammers earlier. They at least require an up close attack, a semi automatic military assault weapon has a range of over 500 yards. It has a magazine that can hold at least 30 rounds, magazines holding 90 rounds can be bought.

Hardly home defence.. unless your Justin Bieber and you've just released a new single that is considered so bad it assaults the ear and mind!! :))

He was just walking the girls back to their vehicles when two thugs approached the coach and the girls. One guy pulled a gun and grabbed the coach by a chain around his neck. He resisted and they shot him. Then they fought the two girls to the ground and took turns brutally raping them.

Oh wait, I got that wrong. I got the first two sentences right though. But the rest of the story I screwed up. Let me try again.

Police sources tell 7 Action News that a women’s basketball coach from Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School shot two men who attacked him as he was walking two basketball players to their cars in the school parking lot.

Police sources say the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources.

The man who shot the attackers was 70 years old, according to police.

One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. We’ve learned that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled.

Police sources say the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities.

BTW, the coach is legally registered and has passed the background check.

The other thug in the hospital need to get life in prison.

(V): "It's a line from a film called "RocknRolla"... the context is not the same as usual!!"

Uh huh... so, what is the 'usual' literal context? I didn't think you meant that literally, although I did (literally) mean it probably wouldn't help (if she was sent back to school).

"Is this line gonna be used forever more?"

ooooOOOOoooo ... In other words, if you don't believe it then it can't be true!!

ooooOOOOoooo!!

The chances of an asteroid passing by the same day we see a big meteor like the one seen over Russia is 1 in 100 million. It happens about once every 1,000 years.

Iamon lyme: well I ain't waiting around for the next one then. I got better things to do. Like being dead.

Hey Jules, wake up!

Silvery Moon: You must mean me. lol

It's because I found a new fling. This site looks promising. http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/215174.php

The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Department of Public Safety has updated an online statement advising female students to consider a variety of unusual actions if they are attacked, including vomiting, urinating and claiming that they are menstruating.
The advisory was updated Monday evening, just hours after the Colorado state House of Representatives passed a package of gun control bills that includes one that would make it illegal for people with concealed weapons permits to carry guns on the campuses of public universities.

They forgot "kick him in the nards"

Iamon lyme: school.

Iamon lyme: That was a fake..... this is real!!

Mrs Moon: it may have been zapped cuz it was off topic. Whatever you post, just finish with, " Obama is an incompetent moron."

(V): scary. I had no idea there were that many.

Artful Dodger: She wasn't just talking about you. She said all of us men here were gorgeous... and Obama is an incompetent moron.

Iamon lyme: lol my bad! And most liberals suck worm snot. I forgot to mention that one.

The Jawa Report: Thief Pulls Knife, Grandmother Pulls Gun http://shar.es/ja4un via @sharethis

Artful Dodger: I did... but not how dense the testing was in certain areas. That the USSR and USA liked to blow up their own country alot... that is scary!!

It's caused a change in the background radiation levels that will not go away for one heck of a long time. No wonder leukaemia cases went through the roof in children. :/

Art... Lamon... you both sucked worm snot when you were liberals.... ???????!!!!!!!!!!!

Did it taste like McD's or BurgKing?

(V): Hey, don't hate us just because we're gorgeous!

It's been so long ago now that I've forgotten what it tastes like. It probably made me gassy, but everything I eat does that so it's not really relevant or even worth mentioning... Obama is an incompetent moron.

Iamon lyme: Is that because of the horse meat? ;P

"but everything I eat does that so it's not really relevant or even worth mentioning"

Not if my idea of an eco green fart deposit station gets off the ground!! :)

I plan to get Parliament 'tubed up' next week.... so many people sitting for hours... .... ....

Beck is a fraud!!!

(V): the US is currently imploding this time!

(V): yep I did. But I know better now!

(V): I don't listen to beck. I like http://www.marklevinshow.com/home.asp and http://www.michaelmedved.com/ with a special affinity towards http://www.dennisprager.com/.

Don't pick on them or else!

(V): "...my idea of an eco green fart deposit station..."

What?!?!? Harvesting green farts was MY idea!! I knew I should have patented it, but I was afraid the Chinese would steal my idea once they found out about it.

My next project is to make and capture rainbow colored farts...

Iamon lyme: I can do blue or red farts and if I squeeze fast they join together for purple.

Artful Dodger: No kidding, you would be surprised at some of the "technology" that has been pirated by the 'you know who'... It's not just the high end stuff. A few years ago someone in California went to court to sue (to sue who, the Chinese government?) over a particular type of packing material and design he developed for packaging electronics. He discovered the same packaging material and design was showing up in US markets, but it wasn't his stuff.

But that's not what I wanted to talk about. I had something important to say about farts, but if we keep this up they might have to rename this the Gorgeous Men Farts board.

Iamon lyme:

Iamon lyme: I've already patented a removal of nappy mess system. I bought a load of non used mechanical meat stripping machines (the ones who strip meat of carcases) to recover baby poo. Then it is processed into fertiliser.

Artful Dodger: Dennis Prager statements could apply to all major parties in the USA.. replace lefty with righty and no-one would know the difference.

I pick on that point.

At least you don't have a situation where you've got Silvio Berlusconi running again. You'd think being on trial for sex with underage prostitutes and tax fraud would mean he ineligible.

I thought Obama was Carter on steroids, but it's actually the other way around. The difference between Carter and Obama is like the difference between watching a train wreck in real time and watching it in slow motion. Carter created so much havoc in so little time it shocked the voters into making a drastic change. Obama on the other hand just plods along, putting himself in front of the cameras so as to keep us busy focused on peripheral issues.

Republicans have made the mistake of thinking they need to do more than simply hold the line. They will probably lose more ground than they will gain in the next four years no matter what they do, but at least voters will be able to clearly see where the Democrats are taking them...and they will have to decide for themselves if that's where they (the voters) want to go.

Obama started off embarrassing himself (and us) by going on his world apology tour, and interjecting himself into news stories that have nothing to do with his job as president. Like the time he commented on a black professor who ran afoul of the law. He criticised the police for being racist, then held a news meeting with both sides for the purpose of repairing his own image. But now he's settled into doing what he does best, making speeches to promote what his party wants. I think this is mostly what he will be doing from here on out. It's either that or hide under his desk for the next four years.

World to you:

This part of the world enjoyed it, and found it refreshing ..I don't think anyone considered it an "apology tour" other than Republicans
