Wow, I've always felt weird for having milk as my preferred beverage and I'm 22. You've been downing chocolate milk longer than I've been alive! Awesome :D

haha, well im only 23, i just like to assume i was drinkin chocolate milk when i first came from my mama's womb....(damn that rhymed, maybe i can become a hip-hop rapstar.. i just need to acquire a taste for rap music)

glad theres one thing we can all agree on thou, chocolate milk ftw.

respect all your views, just figured i'd throw in my 2 cents bout drugs,

to me, it varies drug to drug... at one point in my life, i did everythin i could get my hands, tried painkillers, x, coke, meth, all of it. ...whatever was clever at the time... through that haze of a drug binged addiction, i learned alot to say the least... basically what it comes down to for me, my own personal belief is the old 'if it comes from the ground, its probably alright' and been holding true to that for a couple years now.

My biggest problem is with prescription drugs (pain killers) and how they are pretty much made to get hooked... they dont really cure anything, just more or less, temporary relief which is why its so easy to get hooked... the real bitch about it thou, is after you've used these drugs for awhile, and you try going a day without em, the physical pain about 2x worse than it was to start with... and idk, not just pain killers, its really every prescription ive looked into... alot of them are kinda a joke really, like if i get meds for asthma, i sure as hell dont want the side effect to be shortness of breath.... or if i get meds for depression, i really dont want the side effects to be suicidal thoughts.... but turns out, its exactly that. and its sad to see people who have to take 3-4 different kind of pills each day to counter the sides effects for each other... when there are natural medicines thats been here for centuries that cure what you need, with NO side effects.... too bad the pharmaceutic companies cant patent natural cures, meaning, no $$$$ in their pocket.

And as far as hallucinogens, im not at all against (minus ecstasy, shit rots your brain in no time, but i dont consider x anythin like trippin), i tend to agree that it opens a different way of thinking, that you normally wouldnt of thought of before the cid or booms... and it sticks with you even after you sober up.... its like, opening doors that can never be closed again.... and i honestly dont know where i stand on acid, from my research its a safe drug, its just, its man made, and anything man made leaves room for error, especially on the black market. but i dont see a problem with tripping out in the woods once or twice a year...  but now if your trippin each month, week or day, you might want to ask yourself  'why do i see it necessary to lose my face so often?'lol.

 i dont even drink alcohol anymore, a glass of wine might be good for you, but i was never one to stick with one drink... i get a outta control, throw up and feel like shit the next day...and alcohol consumption isnt good for me, ... which is weird, because my family tree was watered with alcohol. but ya, think im against alcohol cuz ive seen it ruin my best friends life/ health and also has been a road to no-where for some of my family.

i do support recreational (and medical) marijuana use, only because it is the safest drug in history, the side effects are hungry, happy and sleepy (credit to kat williams for that)... doesnt mean its for everybody, but for those who like to stay in control of their actions and still not be sober for a minute, for me, its the ticket.

and this is where ill sound  hypocritical, its ok, i realize and accept it... I would never recommend tobacco use to anybody, seriously the most addicting drug ive ever done, and im still addicted to Tobacco today sad enough.... hate that my body sends cravings that make me think i 'need' it... ive quit before, for months... but then theres always that one day that comes along thats like eff it... and think ive accepted ill be a smoker till i die... but it does make me wonder how addicting is straight unprocessed tobacco is, with out all the FDA approved additives....

the best drug thou, that i do recommend to everybody, is chocolate milk, been hooked for like 23 years! I practically piss Hershey chocolate.

edit: figured i should say half way on topic, i love folfing, especially here, folf course on a freaken mountain, doesnt get any better, love animals, especially my cat... he tried to play on the computer, eats keys from keyboards, tries to interact with video games, especially the wii... watches tv and attacks the tv most days and he is soo curious about most technology, including the toilet....umm, what else, like hiking, swimming, sittin in some hot springs and bowling... about sums me up.

agreed reload times are fine.... you dont like the reload times, be resourceful.. use your original 30 bullets to kill an e, or snag one of your teammates kill, grab an rpk, thats lotta bullets and quick reload... if not the ak's are pretty quick too as long as you leave a bullet in the chamber.(but thats true for most guns)

soupcakes, I respect your opinions as well and it's nice to have a mellow discussion about this kind of stuff.

I'm not bothered by it because I have nothing to hide. The government knows how much money I make via taxes, the state knows where I live via taxes... There's not much information that's private anyway. It's not no privacy rights. It's not like the government has the power to overlook everything you do and it's not like EVERYBODY's information is being looked up. The more systems you're in, the more your information is out there. It's like I used to say, if you want to be 100% safe on the internet, unplug your computer.

Now, just because I'm not bothered by it doesn't mean I agree with it. But, it falls back on the fact that it would take a lot to effect change. I don't want to spend my life TRYING to get positive (in my mind) change to happen. I have no hope for America's future. I have little hope for the world's future.

word, understood. glad we could have an interesting convo bout this too... traded shoes for a minute.

About the rocks, I wasn't joking. I seriously think the world's population needs to decline rapidly. I know this is a touchy subject so I'll offer a disclaimer:
I would never endanger or cut short someone else's life except in self defense.
With that said, I think a lot of people on the planet could be eliminated. It's somewhat hitler-esque but it's true. There's too many stupid wasteful people that are simply a waste of oxygen and resources. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a great specimin for future generations to be built on. Various chronic diseases, cancers and illnesses run in my family's history. It's one reason why I have no desire to have kids. On the other hand though, there's plenty of brilliant minds and healthy (both mentally and physically) gene pools out there that need to be tapped more. The only hope for the future is by getting rid of ignorant, waste-of-good-oxygen, progress-retarding people. I won't make lists because I'm not hitler and I won't ever act on these thoughts, I'm just saying this for the sake of argument.

with all do respect spanky, im for real lmao.. your fuckin epic sir.

alright, all seriousness. I agree, some(alot) people are definitly waste of skin and space, thats a given. But I think the death penalty for being a douche bag is pretty ice cold... i mean, douche bags have it hard enough, they have to go through their whole life being a douche.... And why would you trust the one that could one determine who is worthy of living and dying? In Hitlers day, it was the jews who were unworthy of air, and the blond hair'd blue eye'd boys worthy of living.... and how could you determine who has the right to live before some are even given a chance, like all the babies and children... not to mention pregnant moms that would have to perish too. And just think about it, if that system was in place thousands of years ago, what great inventors or leaders would of been killed before given a chance? Would we even have the freedoms we do today?

And ill admit too, I'm probably not one to make it in the 500 mil either. Plenty of better athletes than me, plenty of smarter people in the world to boot... but your freaken hardcore spanky... you would give up your own life, for somebody else's definition of 'greater good?'...call me selfish, but I personally, couldnt. I love my life, family and fiancee too much... I enjoy living... I would fight to keep what i got, before just give it all up, to anybody.

In the end, dont we all seek the same thing?.... want to spend time with the ones we love, Live comfortable, have some kind of financial security and be free to make your own choices? I wouldnt want to see that taken from anyone.


to vote these changes away u would be asking the government to significantly reduce its power, and the power of law enforcement. Obvious that wont happen if you ask nicely. Same as if you ask them why they think they deserve pay rises, they will laugh at you.

well true,but theres other ways.... A) you could vote for a politician thats anti government and for restoring the constitution...and i mean, theres always B)  if x amount of people were aware and demanded these unconstitutional laws removed, it would put some more pressure towards change... and dont get me wrong, even that could fail.... and at that point, i guess theres not much choice but option C, revolution.





but ya, 4:29 am here... cig, sleep n work  ;)

wow. once again, i can honestly respect  your views spanky... and understand how its not much concern for you... but i just have to ask, none of that seems wrong to you? Basically no privacy rights? Its all gravy? really? Im not tryin to bash or anything, its just... when i see shit like this, people losing rights, the pit of my stomach turns, my blood pumps a little faster and i stand with my dick in my hand thinkin 'wtf, how could this even happen?'...... guess its just me. I can understand a criminal stealing my information.... but the government? I believe that these stomps on the constitution were predicted long ago, by people like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson... that they were trying to warn us, when you give up rights because of 'fear from some boogy man' you lose everything this country was founded on.... and it kinda saddens me that not many people are willing to take a stand for what they believe... simply dont care or lost hope about america's future... as long as i get paid every 2 weeks and pay my bills, the world can do whatever. Guess the values of standing up for what you believe and upholding the American rights got swept under the door mat (...the constitution itself, same door mat)


And skrewy, sad to say, but your probably right... as history proves usually takes a revolution to get any kind of change... Guess I hold onto the optimism that maybe one day it could be changed without violence.

oh and sorry got to bring this up spanky, bugged me a lil.... i know you probably wrote 'cool rocks, i agree with everything on them' lightly/jokingly... but from a serious perspective, if those rules of the rocks went into effect tomorrow, it would be cool? maybe you would be picked to be one of the 500 mil, but what if your brother wasnt fit enough? or your dad wasnt pure enough? and there was somebody who more fit and pure than your mother? and somebody else played God of who lives and who dies, you simply got no choice.... just saying, when you look into it, its a fucked up thought.

thanks again for reading, and also thank you for expressing your views without flame or bash  :)

i respect your beliefs and understand. I live in a pretty laid back community, people from all over getting along in one community. I really enjoy living here. Lot of people with similar views (i know, this community is pretty sweet for me and i would of never guessed I would be so lucky)... and your right, not much you can do about world wide news... just interesting to me, feel its important. and I'm glad you brought the iran having nukes thing up, only because I looked into this right when it hit the news.... turns out in my research, i believe its very unlikely they have nukes, and looking to invade is for greater reasons.... kind of like how we invaded iraq because we 'knew' they had WMD... (funny how history only repeats itself)... even went as far as watchin speaches of Iranian president at a UN meeting... turns out, nothing came out of his mouth saying 'iran is better than america' or 'i hate america, we got nukes'...instead, he openly said they can come look, because it would be stupid for Iran to build 1 or even 10 nukes when theres 500 pointed back at us'... sorry, off topic... but thats why shit like that is important to me.... i have some urge to know the truth behind the media I guess. I guess I also feel compassion for those that are invaded and lose everything, over greed.

umm and rights being lost, its slow, but its sure...

1st AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF SPEECH
• The Patriot Act broadly expands the official definition of
terrorism, so that many domestic groups that engage in
nonviolent civil disobedience could very well find themselves
labeled as terrorists.
• The Government may now prosecute librarians or keepers
of any other records if they reveal that the government
requested information on their clients or members in the
course of an investigation. It has become a crime for these
individuals to try to safeguard your privacy or to tell you
that you are under investigation.

1st AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION
• Government agents may now monitor the First Amendment protected
activities of religious and political institutions, and
then infiltrate these groups with no suspicion of criminal
activity. This is a return to domestic spying on law-abiding
religious and political groups.
• You may now be the subject of a government investigation
simply because of the political, activist, or advocacy
groups you are involved in, or the statements you make
within these groups.
1st AMENDMENT RIGHT TO ACCESS
GOVERNMENT INFORMATION
• A U.S. Department of Justice directive actively encourages
federal, state, and local officials to resist and/or limit access
to government records through Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) requests.
• The Government has conducted immigration hearings in
secret behind closed doors. Such proceedings were once
open to the public. Hundreds, if not thousands, of immigrants
have already been deported in secret.


4th AMENDMENT FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE
SEARCHES &SEIZURES
• Law Enforcement authorities may now conduct secret searches and wiretaps in your home or office
without showing “probable cause.” They need only to claim that intelligence gathering is “a significant
purpose” of their intrusion, even when the primary goal is ordinary law enforcement. They may also
monitor where and to whom you send and receive e-mail, or where you go on the Internet, recording
every e-mail address and website you have been in contact with.
• Law Enforcement may now demand any personal records held by any source including your doctor,
employer, accountant, or library. All they have to do is claim that it is related to an investigation into
“terrorism.” The record keepers may not reveal that your records were provided to the government.
• Judicial oversight of secret searches has been effectively minimized. The Patriot Act directs judges to
consent to secret searches based only on the Government’s assertion that a “significant” purpose of
an investigation is gathering information related to “terrorism,” as the government defines it.

http://www.nyclu.org/pdfs/eroding_liberty.pdf

but all thats old news, you should look up the National Defense Authorization Act signed just this year, by yours truely, obama.... all sugar coded for war on terrorism. But what it boils down to, is Anybody, including american citizens, that are deemed terrorist by the government, can be arrested and prosecuted accordingly, with no right to be heard in court or infront of a judge. This is what im talking about when i say our constitutional rights have become a door mat.

sorry for the long ass rant, but thats why this shits important to me. the world outside my mountains.

thanks for reading, educate yourself.

edit: last quote in previous post had nothing to do with joining the military. lol, i wont either. had to do with being american, upholding your rights so you or your grandchildren can live free and comfortable one day.

OK, and some weird guy could have just built those to get his own beliefs out. How exactly does that prove anything?

Lol, well it wasn't 1 guy. we are talking over 100 tons of stone. Not to mention eight languages engraved on it, and geometrically arranged and have 3 holes that line up with certain stars and the sun. all done anonymously.  And to top it all off, these arent ancient by any means. Now, even in like the 1980s (estimated time they popped up), you needed building permits, contract with people who are building or at very least, a deed to the land which your building it on. But not in this case they are anonymous.

Whoever put it there, obviously wanted it to be heard...doubt they engraved the same 10 lines over and over in eight languages for practice.... and the spot it was put in was very precise. And whoever put this there, had two things, A) Power/influence B) Money.

point: looking at something out of the ordinary, and simply sayin 'oh one weird guy could of put there there' and going on without an ounce of thought more put into it, makes anything easy to disregard....kinda like how OJ got off 'oh the glove didnt fit, no more questions, case closed'.


I'd recommend looking into yourself, look at multiple sources. but heres a non-conspiracy one to start.(hopefully not too biased for ya)

You can't change government and to get involved in politics is a fools game. How has it improved your life by knowing (or assuming or believing) what goes on in politics and government? I don't watch the news or keep up to date on politics because neither offer any benefit to me. It's all purely depressing and none of it affects me. Sure prices at the store go up and down but so what? It is what it is and again, you can't change it.

1. Think it improved my life greatly. I voice my opinion, when I the Representatives are voting on something i agree or disagree with, i call them, state my opinion and which way i think they should vote. Granted, they dont listen, but if the majority of other callers said the same thing it would cause influence on which way they vote. Usually your representatives wont vote against the people. (although it has happened in the past)

2. I don't care for much news, local news and such is depressing. other than world news. I think its important to know what's happening in the world around you. Without other countries trading with us, we would fall on our faces. And I believe its important to know what future leaders plan on doing and how it will affect us as a whole.

3. Sure, I'm just one person, my point of view is probably worth less than 2 cents. But I'm a pretty strong believer in our constitution, and after sitting back and 'whatevering' my life away like everybody else, things happened that Ive had no clue about. Our constitutional rights were being used as a door mat. And each year, seems we lose more and more. Guess one day, shortly after we invaded Iraq, something happened... somethin felt different.... I started to give a fuck... about the 'why?' the 'how?' and the 'what?'and I am proud to be one that fights to keep what we got, and try and restore what we lost. End this with quotes from some good men.

'What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?'

'The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. '
~Thomas Jefferson

'Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.'
~Benjamin Franklin

If I looked around the internet I bet I could find "proof" that the world is flat. The point is that people can spin facts to make whatever outcome they desire. You believe them because they seem to know more about the subject than you, even when they are making stuff up or making BS connections. In turn, they just successfully tricked you into believing a conspiracy theory.

sorry i just wanted to be clear,i wasnt talking about what people say or do, i was talking about things that actually exist.... no debate, its just there. such as, the Georgia guide stones.

If you call looking into nutjob conspiracy theories to be "research" then OK.

Have you ever tried to debunk this one specifically ? If you do an extensive amount of research in trying to debunk, you would probably find more facts confirming these 'nutjob' theories than disproving anything. (minor example in a case like this: Georgia guide-stones.)

Aren't a lot of those roads up north in Alaska and Canada? i.e. land that couldn't be farmed anyway?


Lol, the oil rigs are spread out throughout the USA, I do know that montana and north dakota there is a huge oil boom happening there.... but the downfall is, rent and housing is increased. they are renting trailers for 3 grand a month...cuz they can...food, gas everything went up... which is fine if your part of the oil boom...but if your not, heh, well might wanna get a tent or somethin.

a little research, i found this: http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-04-08/markets/30003319_1_rigs-drilling-basins

kinda shows where the rigs are and such...

« on: Sunday, February 19, 2012, 15:00:02 PM »
I see where your coming from spanky, but I had one question, would it really take up more space than all the land we frac to place oil rigs on? not to mention the roads that the rigs have to build to get to these sites. And one major benefit that I thought, is being hemp is just a plant, you wouldnt need 'hemp rights' or anything... any 1 person could start growing and producing it for financial gain.. Unlike the oil business where you need permissions to set up a site....

but yeah, im not entirely sure how much land of hemp it would take, to produce equal to what we are in oil.

so how to fix it-.-?

ive never played on a mac, so have no clue in comparison. but here's my tactic for 'fixing' recoil

- gun pulls up and to the right when fired
2- so, i 'fight' the recoil, i  pull the mouse diagonally down and to the left when firing...keepin the gun pointed where i want bullets to fly.

another tip, practice the gun your missing with in SP, so you can know at what point on the iron site the bullet will hit. (if that make sense)

....and if none of that works, just take the SAW (AR), with 200 bullets, your bound to kill something (at least a nurse)
