couldn't see to just keep sending supplies and msachiery over there any y'all just kept loseing it.
Damn Lock a brit in a room with no windows and 1 door, put in 2 50# anvils and a meter of rubber hose, come back tomorrow and he done lost one anvil, busted the other one and fucked up the hose.

The only "real" war you yanks ever had was the civil war when you was killing each other 'cause some guys wanted to keep their slaves.
And that was a long time before you was dropping Napalm and cluster bombs on folks from the air to furk em.

came in late on this one, but i,m still spewin the fucken govt took me guns off me! [well most] but i still wonder if we were all allowed to walk around with sidearms how many people would have died at port arthur or for that matter any of the other school shootings etc i reckon the fools may have got off a couple of rounds befor they got what they were looking for.. just my opinion though.. i still go to the range to keep tuned

Yea but we got smarter, we didn't have to go all the way up to Stalingrad and freeze our ass' off and let them Rusky bastards freerze us, starve us, and then kill the shit out of us cause we was not the super race, but we sure is the smart one of the times tho.

Member what happened to the master race up there that winter,, Ruskys never stopped running them krauts til they was down in Berlin trying to get in the bunker mit der mighty Adolph, that is cept the smart ones who was already unloading the gold stolen out of a dead hebes mouth in Rio.

That was my point, it's easy to run a loud mouth when you haven't experienced the horrors of war for generations - just jumping in at the end to claim victory. Or idle your years away on inactive duty and behave as if you deserved a medal for polishing your gun every day.

Must have been the last war you guys 'won', that one, or why ye' all still bragging about it?

i regret looking in this thread. excuse me.

Well, RC & auntie haven't weighed in either...

I think this is my first look at this thread.

I have never owned a gun, and frankly the only thing that interests me about them is why gun owners use them to shoot harmless, defenceless animals and then brag as if this is masculine. Sounds like cowardice to me.

Wouldn't it be more 'macho' to go to some forest or East side ghetto and play the game with other humans armed with guns? Or even slingshots or catapults?

Well Sabang, some of are raised in the outback or upcountry or how ever you want to say "Open country" away from city living, I have owned 3 houses or cabins as they are generally know as that were isolated and off by themselves with spring or creek water [no well] Miles from the end of the electrical grid, was also raised on remote cattle ranches where a trip to the store was an all day rough trip at time, and at times impossible to get out of the yard with anything but a ski doo sled, after they were invented and before that was horseback.
So if you can understand where I am coming from, The hunter/gatherer is still prevalent in some of our makeups, we enjoy stalking/hunting and do not just walk up, put the gun barrel between their eyes and torch one off, In fact I had to kill a bear on my back steps the winter I left the cabin 27 miles north of Sandpoint Idaho in the rocky mountains who was trying to bust my door down, but it was a metal insulated heavy door as the weather got to -40 F. and there was 16 feet of snow around.
And by living and being raised in such an environment it is just natural to have guns, enjoy guns and find them as tool as well as killing instruments, and being children raised in such homes, they are taught to respect and use these tools and do it correctly by being used to them and using them all their lives.

The Amish are raised without elect, Phones or cars, and they have been raised that way so most likely think that the way you live and operate is senseless and strange too.
No offense intended, just a different way of life as not everyone should have to be born and raised in the same neighborhood.

And some do go down to the ghetto and shoot some folks, then others raise hell about it, not every one can be happy about the same stuff.

We would butcher an old cow, grandpa would take an old cow that wasn't to good anymore, put her in a box stall with a tub for water that I had to keep full, a feed trough with heavy salted grain in it and it was kept so she could eat all the grain she wanted along with a little hay and the salt made her drink lots of water, after a couple months on that diet and no real exercise that old bitch was close to KOBE beef off of a hereford cow old enough to vote.
But we also had a stream running by the barn yard and was full of nice trout and grand ma liked to fish so she would catch some nice trouts, we hunted deer or shot deer that fed in the meadow for fresh meat also, we were miles up in the hills so there was no electricity up there til in the 60s or 70s so you had to maintain your own meat, a whole animal with some cut off for a meal and cared for properly will last a long time before going bad, where cut meat from town is old before they sell it due to aging so it will spoil in a few days and you just can not keep that kind of meat.
And no, it an asshole comes from town and wants to hunt a set of horns then he was ran down the road and if he happen to hold a doe tag, which we had a hundred does to a buck, grandpa would take him out and fill his tag for him and load his deer and send him off..We were meat hunters and if you shot it, you ate it.
My sons wanted a 22 rifle and we were living in Nevada and I was living in a rental house on the Fleur Di Lei [sp] ranch at Beatty and working at Nevada Test site, and there were jack rabbits eating up everything and just pests and everyone used to run over em or shoot em, well I got the boys a gun and we went up to the Burro trap by a spring, we used to trap them and butcher them out there as they taste like deer, and were hundreds of em, so anyway the boys shot a jack rabbit and thru it in the back of the pickup, I asked what for? they said they shot it and so they would eat it, and its liver was clear so no rabbit disease, I let em skin it and their mom cooked it well and they did eat it., no more of that shit tho as no body cept a coyote will eat a jack rabbit..
I have killed about every meat animal in the USA and have never wasted a a bit of it, I do not only hunt during season either, if we are living out without refridgeration and electricity I will kill meat anytime I need it, as I have already explained why you can not buy cut meat in a shop, it takes some doing to protect the meat til it is gone, wrapping it during the day in heavy blankets, and hanging it out in the cool of the night and bringing it back in at daylight next day, but it is a hell of a lot easier than a hour trip to town for 1 meals meat and better meat anyway.
When you see 200 does and maybe 1 buck, it is time to deviate from a collage educated game managers ways and go back to doing what is correct,, All does and no bucks only means you have does eating up the feed and no new deers.

Now your really reminding me of my youth. Exactly the same crap.

Shit...our yearly deer hunting trips seem tame by comparison, even though we were true Rocky Mountain people and not fukin California tourists.

You 'True Rocky Mountain' types must've bagged and smoked/salted a lot of deer if you only needed to go hunting once a year.

Is that the distinct twang of a banjo I'm hearing?

Berore I was born, you could hunt for food with no season or license, but a few years prior they made a season and game protection, but if you needed the meat out on the ranch or homestead the game warden, who was an Oregon state po;iceman would not give you any shit, and most people still do eat deer when they want out on the ranches.
But the city guys only have a ferw weeks vacation and a lot do go off and camp int mountains and get together and play poker, drink and hunt, hell of a time, but what you kill the city guys mostly take to a custom meat processor and have venison salami and other sausages made, the meat aged, cut wrapped and frozen for his freezer, we that live out just gut it, skin it, hang it and keep fresh as long as possible, jerk a lot of it, Deer Jerky is my favorite snack, if no electricity then some will go into canning jars for later use, none is wasted.
I was gonna scan off a couple pics of my last cabin to show you whats like, but my scanner shit the bed, says it cant be found, then said it cant be config cause it running, no light on it so I think the transformer quit, but if it cant find it, how the fuk it know it running??

Perhaps in your case, the bleating of sheep?

^Nope, definately banjo. I don't know about you good 'ole boys but the two sounds are very easy to distinguish.

Do you plug your camera into the PC? If so (especially with Canon cameras) plug it back in and turn it on and off then unplug it and plug the scanner back in. It might work.

No, these are prints taken with my old Canon AE1, taken in the early 90s and in a album, my scanner is a flatbed I bought when I got my first puter from Computerland in CM and it finally shit the bed I think, at least the transformer box is cold when I toot it out and no lights in the scanner.
My cabin was built like a refrigerator cabinet,,in to out was 7/16 sheetrock, 4"fiberglass blanket ins.,6"Douglas fir 6X8 squared timbers, 1 1/2 aluminum covered rigid foam TOVEX and then 3/4 cedar shiplap siding , triple pane windows with vinyl framing, 12" insulating rigid foam in the roof,ceiling.
-40* F and you could keep it warm with a cigarette lighter.

I meant a recent camera, not the one you took the photos with. Canon cameras and scanners use the same Windows function and unless they are disconnected in the right sequence can cause problems with reading other pieces of equipment.

OH, OK I misunderstand ya,
Yea I got a fuji dig. A nd the scanner is a MicrotekI will check it out,, thanks dude.
But still when I hit the on switch in back of the scanner it should light up tho shouldnt it? it dont do nothing..

Probably.

It may well be fucked if that's the case.
