Clearly I'm not... have you been reading the discussion? The flow of the discussion coupled with the multitude of rep I've gotten on my comments means I'm not the only one. Some of the rep comments were along the lines of "I agree with you but you're wasting your time arguing"... implying that...
Key words highlighted above, how many INGO members do you personally know all of their personal connections and life experiences and how it could affect them? None? Yeah, me either. I know some quite well but I don't know everything about them. So really you don't have a darn clue as to any...
And it's looking like we could have a repeat... One of the weather centers I follow that usually has pretty accurate predictions said, "I don't want to say 'outbreak' just yet but it's possible to have multiple tornadoes and supercells come out of this event" referencing the one unfolding now...
Ok, so as long as you feel some sort of connection to the person jokes are off the table. You don't necessarily need to know them, but just have a connection. And if you didn't personally have a connection would it be ok to share jokes openly where a bystander/listener may have that connection...
I would caution you about making assumptions about what circle I'm in and what I can handle. I've seen plenty, I've handled it well. Depending on when you were in and what you did, it's quite likely I've spent more time over there than you have... there is a certain level of dignity and respect...
Close-knit circle of first responders is one thing... I cannot fathom being one of those guys and what they do to cope with that ... the guy that owns the property next-door to me is one in Indy (knows phylodog pretty well) and he's never joked about death with me... INGO, public forums, public...
Not sure what military you were in but the .mil guys I've spent a significant portion of my time with (I've been around plenty although I've never been AD) don't make jokes out of death, especially that of a brother. As a matter of fact, if you made those jokes around many that I've spent my...
If it really is a coping mechanism that F'd up...
So lets change the circumstances... your grandma gets lost in Indy one day... it's not her fault, she's aging, got turned around, and mixed up, and she finds her way to a not so savory part of town. The specific circumstances are unknown but...
How-so?
I'm not, won't catch me anywhere close to that place but more and more INGO feels like it sometimes...
I'm going to guess September 2016... not sure what is telling me that, it's just a hunch...
I don't mind when they self-select out either, but I don't casually joke about...
Like I said, I don't dispute that we have problems in small town America, the difference comes in how they are looked upon and treated IE, what is the socially accepted response. Apparently, in the city it's socially acceptable to make jokes about murder, it's not acceptable where I'm from and...
I'm sorry but if the shoe fits... you wear it. I remember a time when jokes like that wouldn't be on here. If the mods weren't around to see it, the other members wouldn't tolerate it and the mods would come along to sweep up when they had a chance. Now it seems not only acceptable, but even...
Like I said, had it coming or not, it's not only in poor taste to joke so candidly about this, it's downright disrespectful. I have to agree with Kut here, this man didn't want that for himself, and whether he was ultimately the one that put himself in that car and in those circumstances doesn't...
Multiple sources indicate he is in critical condition... I had the same thought... If I were a bettin' man, I'd he's on life-support, will likely be brain-dead, and they haven't officially determined that yet. If he even makes any sort of recovery I'll be shocked. I'm guessing they're waiting to...
So? For many they've devoted their entire life to building a career, they've found an employer that offers great benefits for them and their family, they've worked to build a pension etc. To be fired straight in the middle of a career can be devastating for not only you, but your entire family...
This is your chance to check out (for free) one of the most friendly and affordable ranges you'll find in the entire Midwest. The rules are easy to follow (they follow common respect & courtesy) and the owner (Don) is one of the most remarkably selfless humans I've ever had the pleasure of...
Only explanation I have (and I have a little anecdotal evidence to back it up) is that the shooting, and impending ban on things, piqued the interest of many people that were on the fence about buying XYZ, be that AR's, or just getting into guns in general.
I knew several guys at work that...
I was initially going to guess Chinese manufacturer but you said you called the manufacturer so that rules that out... haha...
My Bridgeport 15" ro-tab doesn't even have a sight-glass... I can't recall how you check it, I've never had to mess with it as it's never leaked.
Simply because the war only occurred for 4 years doesn't negate the fact that the flag is a symbol of something larger. The ideology was and is a long-lasting one, and it just so happens that the CSA flag was tacked on as a symbol of that. IMHO (and not to get too far off topic), it's a shame...
IMHO, the above post isn't wrong, but there is 1 distinct difference. The Confederate States of America were just that, part of this country until they decided to secede and they're part of it today. Cuba is not, and never has been part of this country unless I'm mistaken in my history.
If Cuba...
