Weapons/manliness Options

[Maccabee]

I keep a knife by my bed and a compound bow in my closet at all times.
And my mom always has dreams that i get kidnapped and tells me. haha.
Whats your weapon of choice.
And not a gun.
And fists count.

[Tung]

Do you
also carry
around pepperspray
in your purse?
By the way,
carrying
a
weapon around
doesn't
constitute as
being manly.

Nope.
And I know. But it is part of it.
You can still be manly without it.

[Tung]

I see.
I don't
understand
why you
need to
have a knife
by your bed for.
Are you scared someone
is going
to rape
you in your
sleep or something? O.o
Or are you scared of this guy.

[karmakiller]

You have no idea how much I hate Ronald McDonald.

I don't have any weapons. But I could probably turn something into a weapon.

[Tomates]

in the summer i took the vent cover off my floor and had it next to me the whole night.
I kept hearing some really weird noises and at some point where there was a loud crack outside my window around midnight.

Fogell: "What's it like to have a gun?"
Officer Michaels: "It's like having two cocks. If one of your cocks could kill someone."

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I've got some knives. But I see little need for guns.

[superstitious]

Nice.

I've got nothing but some moldy cheese that could potentially scare one off.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Moldy cheese would scare me off.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Well I have a softball bat. I could bash with that.

[Eww]

Lol. It's not much a weapon, but I have a small wooden breast cancer bat beside my bed :D. My dad bought it to donate to Breast Cancer research so I just keep it there since I have no use for it. I doubt it would be of much use if anything happened, though.

If I got kidnapped though, I'd probably scratch out their eyeballs like a pansy :T

[shanaynay]

I just have a Bolt action .22 under my bed, and the bullets are in another part of the house so...

[ForgiveTheSinner]

I have my fingernails and can make them bleed.

[*KINGdinguhling*]

i carry around a 20 pound hot dog

[Maccabee]

I like talking about weapons. Just more collecting them though.
And "Reidar" those weapons are awesome!
I have a friend with that same ninja star thing.

[brooklyneast05]

i'm figuring if someone tries to kill me in my sleep they already have a big advantage anyway so i don't think a knife by my bed is gonna do me much good.

[Maccabee]

The knife is by my bed just cause thats where it is. Not cause I think i can pull some ninjas skills and whip open my droors with my feet. haha.
Is anyone else here into archery?

[brooklyneast05]

droors eh?


nah it's ok i'm not makin fun of you. i thought it was badmitten = badminton until today. and i also thought on the weather when they say windchill they were saying "windshield". so i'll always be like " yeah it's 15 degrees outside but the windshield is 5!"

[Maccabee]

droors eh?

O dangit! Drawers! Sorry! haha

[Maccabee]

hit 'em across the chest and give 'em breast cancer.

Or hit em between the legs if there a guy and give them...
I had a friend who had that.

[none345678]

Are you serious, there saying windchill? I feel like a dumb ass.

I have a bat by my bed, no real reason though. If someone broke in I probably wouldn't even thing about grabbing it.

[fameONE]

Why the f*ck don't firearms count? You suck.

I'm making my own thread for gun owners and admirers of high powered firearms.

[Gigi]

Um, we have a baseball bat in our garage. And maybe the really heavy flashlight downstairs. So really we have no weapons, except for cutlery and kitchen tools.

...I'm Canadian. I have never met anyone who owns a gun (that I am aware of). Our ideas of badassiness/manliness depend on other things entirely. Like, I once read on some guy's MSN screenname that he was selling a bulletproof vest. Which is cooler than a gun, obviously. Manlier though? I don't know.

[Joanne]

WHAT?! Dude, that is pretty cool. Though I don't think I'd have any real use of it.

Satisfied?

I guess there is the occasional angsty teen who is obsessed with weapons, or the gang member or two, but apart from that, what I said holds true (at least for me). I've heard of more knife violence than gun violence anyway.

[fameONE]

Respect the shooter. It doesn't take much skill to take a round to the dome. It takes a lot more skill to fire a round to someone's dome while 600 yards away, in the rain, using iron sights.

[Reidar]

Satisfied?

Quite.

My dad just left for isreal today.
And if you read the headlines you know theres a war going on. And missiles constantly going off. And hes actually going to the gaza strip! Where there a constantly snipers and missiles going off and hes gonna have to wear one. And as they drive around the camp they cant stop driving for more than 15 secs or youll get shot.
And my dad is going on a mission trip. He;ll be back in 10 days.

f*ck you dumb. No shit there is a war there, there has been one for years. This is not new. And missiles from Israel=finally stepping up to the game.

[Maccabee]

I know there has been missiles exploding in isreal for years but they actually declared war on isreal! Im not stupid! Im jewish!

[Rachel]

You certainly sound stupid. And I'm Jewish too.

[mipadi]

I know there has been missiles exploding in isreal for years but they actually declared war on isreal!

Lotta shit exploding in the Gaza Strip, too. Including a UN compound...

[Maccabee]

They make isreal look bad! Gaza fires way more missiles and they declared the war.
All the news posts anything isreal does but not the bad stuff the gaza ppl r doing!
You dont know what your talking about unless youve actually been there and youve seen whats happening.

In the words of john mayer. They have the only information they can bend it all they want. (his song waiting on the world to change.)

[brooklyneast05]

[mipadi]

The UN doesn't fire missiles at Israel, and the UN didn't declare war on Israel, so how is Israel justified in shelling a UN compound? The UN is in Gaza as a relief agency who is trying to help the Gazan civilians, who also haven't fired missiles on Israel, by the way. Israel attacked a UN post during their war with Lebanon, too, by the way.

Anyway, the whole missile thing is over-blown. Hamas' missiles rarely do any real damage, let alone kill anyone. Sure, they're still terror weapons, but you don't consider Israel firing chemical weapons on a civilian population to be terror, too?

You dont know what your talking about unless youve actually been there and youve seen whats happening.

You know what, you're right. And back in the 1940s, FDR didn't have any first-hand evidence that Hitler was mass-murdering Jews. Was he wrong to declare war on Germany?

[*KINGdinguhling*]

lol@this guy arguing, talks like hes been there and done that

Wait? Are you saying UN is england?
And is the UN for or againt isreal?

[Joanne]

And if you read the headlines you know theres a war going on.

God, I'm not that ignorant. I meant that there's no point of me having one now, in Canada, where there is no war going on.


And I am never going to forgive you for referencing John Mayer.

[Tung]

Just stop reading this topic Joanne. Your IQ will drastically decrease if you continue this.

[*KINGdinguhling*]

can this guy even get an erection

[mipadi]

Wait? Are you saying UN is england?
And is the UN for or againt isreal?

Hm? No, I don't think I'm saying that. The UN is a multinational conglomeration of nations that seeks (or attempts to seek) peaceful resolutions to problems between nations -- at least in theory. They're not really "for" or "against" Israel per se; they're just (a) seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict; (b) a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestine crisis in general; and more immediately, © aid for civilians caught in the middle of the fighting.

[Maccabee]

John Mayer.

Dont be sad! I love john mayer! aha

O i see.
It just often seems that people try and make isreal look bad.
Cause they often focus on any bad thing but dont talk about the bad stuff anyone else is doing. But thats just my opinion.

[Joanne]

As do I.

[mipadi]

O i see.

I don't really know what "people" try to make Israel look bad. The American media (especially Fox News and the Associated Press) sure don't. American politicians don't. The BBC does paints a rather fairly balanced view of the situation, as do most European governments.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Hamas. But I really can't condone Israeli's bombing of civilians, etc.

[Maccabee]

If youve seen hotel rwanda, to me its seems like isreal is like africa and when they listen to the radio they wont say whats really happening.
Also you might want to read some isreally headlines. cause they often give a lot of info that other news stations wont.

I know there are a few sites but I forgot.

Edit: o and you mentioned isreal bombing civilians but hamas bombs more isreally civilians. My dad has actually gone to the camps where they keep all the homade bombs that have exploded in isreal and there are just hundreds and hundreds on racks.

[*KINGdinguhling*]

Here ill give you the benefit of the doubt on this one since you actually made a somewhat competent post, but why are you trying to lecture mipadi and telling him to read shit. I highly doubt you can fathom exactly how much he knows, and no i aint kissing his ass.

[Tung]

That's how all news outlet is though. Not just Africa, or Israeli. It's in the United States too. The News Corporation works with the government. And what's being reported in the media is what government wants you guys to hear and know about. Government uses media as a social control mechanism.

I have read Israeli news articles (albeit translated into English, since I don't read Hebrew). Like American media, some are decent, some are heavily biased. It depends on the source; there's a stark difference between "Zionist" and "Israeli". A lot of Israelis actually disagree with the military actions of their government, as shown in their press. Even so, organizations like the BBC have offices in the Middle East, and are known for their excellent news coverage.

Anyway, since we were talking about missiles before, I thought this photograph would illustrate my point. The top half shows a strike from a Hamas rocket; the bottom, a strike from an Israeli missile:

[mipadi]

Edit: o and you mentioned isreal bombing civilians but hamas bombs more isreally civilians. My dad has actually gone to the camps where they keep all the homade bombs that have exploded in isreal and there are just hundreds and hundreds on racks.

Here are the casuality statistics For September 29, 2000 - November 30, 2008. Note that these, of course, do not include the most recent violence.

You'll note that many more Palestinians have been killed.

I'm not arguing that Israeli civilians aren't targeted, but there's no doubt that the Israeli army is much better at killing than the Palestinian militants.

[Maccabee]

Ok well im definitely starting to see your point.
Even though the rockets fired from hamas werent as deadly they still tried and there intent is to kill people. Because all there bombs were homade.
And the isrely missiles fired were fired in defense. So our views really arent that different but I just think that palestines are the "bad guys"
Cause they declared war on Isreal.
O and im not questioning how smart you are! I mean you are 10 yrs older than me.
But ive just really seen whats happening directly not through new stations that could be twisting the truth. Cause my dad has close relations with one of the military leaders that stay on the gaza strip stopping palestines from braking through.

[NoSex]

if your father works with the military in order to "stop palestinians from breaking through," don't you think his reporting of events would be inherently biased? don't you think he would be inclined to identify his militaristic enemies & targets as "bad guys?"

[NoSex]

And back in the 1940s, FDR didn't have any first-hand evidence that Hitler was mass-murdering Jews. Was he wrong to declare war on Germany?

what the hell does "evidence that hitler was mass-murdering jews" have to do with a declaration of war against germany?

america didn't enter the war because of the holocaust; that's straight up middle school revisionism. really, as you slightly allude to, we had no idea of the true horrors & reality of the entire situation until august of 1942, long after we had already entered the war (after having been attacked by the japanese @ pearl harbor). & that only prompted a declaration of war against japan. if it weren't for the tripartite pact, held by the axis powers (sans the ussr), we may have never declared war on germany. further, what little whispers of second, third, fourth-hand accounts of the "final solution" our government & public received, we showed abundant apathy & antisemitism. for example, the ss st. louis. fdr was aware of the refugees, despite the absence of first-hand evidence of their likely-fate in europe; despite this, fdr sent them away. further, fdr refused to give visas, and showed no real initiative in saving the jewish population from nazi extermination.

so... your question is entirely bizarre & it's implications are ill-informed & false. you might as well have said that the north fought the civil war in order to free the slaves.

[mipadi]

what the hell does "evidence that hitler was mass-murdering jews" have to do with a declaration of war against germany?

Bad example. I just meant to imply that because you haven't seen something yourself, doesn't mean it's impossible to construct a view of what happened based on evidence from others.

I actually realized after the post that the implication that FDR was hoping to "save the Jews" was flat-out wrong, and our entry into World War II against Germany was really a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which in turn opens up a number of complications in pinpointing a real reason.

Yeah, I'd actually wish for all Jews to be wiped off the face of the earth, except then there'd be no reason for Hebrew National hot dogs anymore, I suppose.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Hooray image macros.

[Maccabee]

^Haha.
Well I guess we have all expresssed out opions now.
and my dad doesnt work for the military. He has a close friend that does.
And mipadi i thought u were jewish?! Why would you want that?

[mipadi]

And mipadi i thought u were jewish?! Why would you want that?

No, I'm an atheist. And I am equally suspicious of all organized religions.

[Maccabee]

No, I'm an atheist. And I am equally suspicious of all organized religions.

Then our views are completely different cause im a christian and my dads a pastor over jewish ministries and my mom works full time at a church and my oldest brother goes to a bible college.

[Rachel]

You are so clueless Joseph. Michael is not an anti-semite. It's called sarcasm.

[hypnotique]

I have a bra to choke someone with.

Some silk ropes. awesome handcuffs and a stick/whip thing.........and of course my treasured french knifes

LOL Awesome pic... Hahaha

I always thought fist was manly enough... Like learning Karate and Tae Kwon Do...
I always wanted to learn that ninja stuff... I forgot what its called but it looks like a fork except larger...
