http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/10-potential-mass-shootings-that-were-stopped-by-someone-wit#.tj1YYnn4E6 Clear enough? I did notice more than half of those incidents involved off-duty police officers, which kind of weakens the argument for random citizens carrying concealed weapons to protect the world. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/12/31/the-inside-story-of-how-an-idaho-toddler-shot-his-mom-at-wal-mart/ This woman was educated, trained, and had a lot of experience with guns. So I'm not comfortable just writing her off as incompetent. I definitely have trouble relating to the culture of carrying around a gun wherever you go. I've lived in rural areas, I've had guns in my house. Usually the only use they've ever been was to scare off coyotes, but I get that they are reassuring when you know the police response time isn't great. My wife does competitive skeet shooting. But we keep the ammo separate and out of reach, we keep the gun in pieces, and the only time it leaves the house is to go to the range. As for using guns to overthrow the government, good luck with that. The greatest weapon against the government in a revolution is going to be the media and the ability to spread information. You aren't going to compete against the military, you want the military to turn against the government with you.

It still doesn't explain why the US government would point the finger at NK, or really get involved at all.

I have moved all my vehicles away from trees, and just helped my neighbor recover his metal tarp tent that blew away. It is crazy windy.

I'm not really anti-prostitute or anything, I just think you should go into it with the proper mindset. You are basically fulfilling a physical need, don't expect to have an emotional one met. There is simply no way that a prostitute is going to meet the same desires that my wife does. We've had over a 15 years to get comfortable with each other, and it gets better all the time.

This is amazingly shallow. A real partner (and friend) is someone who genuinely cares about you and you can rely onto even in dire times, sex is just one of many important aspects in a relationship. If you think a hooker can provide you with all the wonderful things you get from a true relationship then I can only ask you if you've ever been in a proper relationship. OMG, dude this is probably the most gay thing anyone ever wrote on this forum. Get back to your Twilight fantasies and leave the serious topics to adults. Way to ramp up the shallowness there. It's also telling that you use the word gay to describe Woldan's words, and yet you seem unable to connect with a woman in anything more than a physical exchange of services rendered. And yeah, maturity.

He did say that he was so obsessive compulsive that he is going to finish a 100 hour game that he hates, so at least he is being punished somewhat.

Yeah, I kind of regret getting Lords of Xulima myself, the fantasy world is boring the heck out of me.

He's right about Frank Gore. That's the one guy worth rooting for on that team.

I watched a couple episodes of Inside the American Mob on Netflix, it is a fantastic documentary.

You will not make it past IV, I forsee the future.

I see what you did there.

They still have an awful lot of hard to like people on the team, starting with the QB. What was his beef with Harbaugh? I do get that you can't have a toxic relationship with the entire management even if you are performing at a high level. But still, 44-19-1 with a Super Bowl appearance and 3 NFC Championship games is pretty hard to ignore. Heck, this was a terrible year with 4th stringers starting all over the field, and they still went 8-8 in the toughest division in football. It will be interesting to see if they drop back into obscurity with a new coach.

Harbaugh has a cushy landing zone though with an $8m per year pillow. lol As he should, his record is crazy good. What a bizarre situation.

That would not be surprising at all. It's basically the sequel to Pineapple Express.

I enjoyed a couple playthroughs of The Long Dark. It is a good looking game and an interesting setting. Expect to die. Like, that is the point of the game.

You haven't actually played Dragon Age: Inquisition, have you.

You've got to be kidding, DA2 was a terrible game, DA:I is better by a mile. I don't even know how you can prefer DA2 over DA:I.

Do they have a volunteer program like they do in the US? Might be a nice thing to do once a week, go train with and assist firefighters.

GTA V continues to entertain. I decided it was time to visit the therapist, and sure enough I got called on the carpet for taking a working girl home. Hey, I was still upset that my wife was getting extra lessons from the tennis pro! This game is masterful.

So GTA V is fantastic. The controls are super confusing and give me fits (where is the easy mode) but the story, characters, and world are brilliantly realized. I also have to play it late at night when the children are fast asleep. I woke up at 5 AM to play this morning and my son finally cracked open the door around 7 and caught his dad jacking cars are living out his Boyz in the Hood fantasies. It went too fast. I also grabbed Avernum: Escape from the Pit and played for awhile. It looks much better with the remastered stuff.

Are you cryptically announcing you have a date, ManifestedISO? Congrats! I'm guessing an Asia, as Antarctica wouldn't be quite as alluring.

Join or start a club? That's really the main reason churches are still so relevant, they give a sense of community. But even if you aren't the religious type, there are a few good options for the holidays. When my family and I had a falling out a few years back, I decided to spend the Christmas Eve I typically reserved for them helping out at a church food drive. It has been wonderful.

Dragon Age: Inquisition has been a very pleasant surprise. Other than that, I agree with most mentioned. I haven't tried Lords of Xulima, that might be worth picking up.

That was some refreshing candor and humility, Luridis. Thanks for sharing it with us.

The only way she is 47 is if she has been living in a zero gravity environment.
