Volourn Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 " sometimes the only person of colour," What is the % of the population in Kanada are black? I'm guessing it is rather low and I bet most of them at elivijng in the big cities like Toronto so.. isn't really shocking that there wouldn't be many black people camping and what not. I'm also going to out on a limb that natives do a lot of camping. So, what kind of racist gobblegook is she spewing? DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Guard Dog Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 This guy charges $1k a day to teach people how to live "off the grid". That is NUTS! People lived "off the grid" for thousands of years before there even WAS a grid. And they wrote libraries full of books on how to do it! How the heck do you guys think I learned?

Skazz Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Where are you from, GD? I keep reading about farms and coyotes and death zones, so I'd guess Australia? Edited June 3, 2018 by Skazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Where are you from, GD? I keep reading about farms and coyotes and death zones, so I'd guess Australia? He's in Tennessee. Never heard anything about death zones. Also, while the Australia answer is likely sarcasm, there aren't any coyotes in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a brain fart and mistook a coyote for a dingo. My bad. In my defense, I come from a country where the most dangerous thing in the wild is a bald guy in a tracksuit.

Guard Dog Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Uh oh... death zones???? How did he find out about those? If there was death zone here I'd probably have stumbled into it by now! Like smjames said I live in western Tennessee. But a big bald guy in a track suit would be about the most dangerous thing in THESE woods too. The coyotes can be a pest but most of the time they are just kind of cool to look at and listen to. I did have to "manage the herd" so to speak a few years ago. They were becoming a little too brazen around me. Most of the time you hear them but never see them. They are no danger to me. My dog Sunny could handle one or two alone but more than that would be trouble. For the most part they stay clear of us. If they got in the livestock that would be trouble. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I still remember Mythbusters looking into "dropped guns shooting" and how rare it actually was. The things you have to do to a modern pistol to get it to go off just by dropping it was a fair bit, so you have to wonder how that guy treats his sidearm.

It looks like he just reflexively grabs it without thinking how to grab it safely. Likely also implies that the safety was off on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This officer should get 10x worse punishment. I believe the jail sentence was because he was either not permitted to carry or the gun was unregistered. But I agree about the job situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it goes off when he grabs it and not when it hits the ground. The Plaxico (or Lil Wayne) case is different in that NYC has some really strict gun laws where Denver does not. You don't even have to register firearms here and I don't believe we have any laws about carrying in a bar or club either. Of course, that's all moot because the FBI guy shot someone but possession alone is not a crime here unless you're a felon or otherwise restricted from gun ownership Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
