  Need some info on Pistols

  by jelly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am thinking of getting a pistol and i am not sure of what kind to get.

  i went to an indoor range today and tried out a glock .45 (the smaller model) and a heavier .45. i found the glock rested well in my hand but i could shoot much more accurately with the heavier (and longer barreled) pistol.

  any way, i am looking for a home protection / target practice pistol and would like any input on what caliber to get.

  A SAWED of Shotgun!

  ( great for close range, wide area spread...but is rather messy when cleaning the guts off your wall )

  what happened in sodom & gomorah,.

  concerning the people or perverts whom wanted to have sexual relations with the angels,sent by jehova god,.

  lot offerd his daughters up to the crowd but no they wanted the young men ,as they were good looking most of the crowd were blinded,yes, how would jehovah punish the elders of today connected to child abuse cases ,would they receive immediate judgment ,as jehovah showed back in soddoms history , or would jehovah ignore the abusers,without punishment and allow them to continue forever without punishment as the watchtower and tract society does today, .

  Romance? What's that??

  It's the carefully planned warfare between two individuals, employing special tactics in giving; flowers, candy, small notes, and a candle light dinner. There is a constant exchanges of smiles and passionate eye contact, in which the ultimate goal is to woo each other to the ultimate victory: Putting somebody's "hoo hoo" in to somebody's "chi chi" so that the human race can thrive thru procreation.

  Let's see there was that time when I got a msg on yahoo, or msn....or was it back in my AOL days.

  Oh, then there was the time when somebody said, "Hi" to me on the street.

  Then there was that time, when I think she smiled at me...at least I think she did....she even blushed! I won't forget that afternoon, because when I got home I found that my fly had been unzipped the entire day.

  I did give one girl a rose, and I got a lovely letter in return;

  "Dear Creep,

  If I ever see your mug again, I'll rake your body across razor blades! I swear to god almighty, you come near me again, I'll beat your head silly!

  Hatefully yours,

  XXXXXX Smith"

  It was magic. Pure magic.

  My, how a 50 year old mind can be so small:

  Now why don't you just quietly send a large campaign donation to Nancy Pelosi,

  And you just luuuuv having your brain sucked with:

  GOP vs. DNC

  Right vs. Left

  FOXNews vs. CNN

  Lack of ability to be a "fee thinker". You totally buy in to all of that, eh buddy boy? Well, your head is buried deeper in the sand then most people here.

  You're so stuck in the "us vs. them" arguement, you don't even acknowledge the atrocities the U.S. has done to others all over the world. If you are saying that your foreign policy is okay, that your corrupt politicians are in the right? Then I say, let the American public get what they deserve for their ignorance.

  The rest of the world will go on, while they turn against her. This world doesn't need the U.S.A. to survive, just like they didn't need Rome.

  The price for "arrogance" my friend, is a kick in the ass. I wish you all the luck when your America crumbles, as will your mind when remembering my words here today.

  This is what is lost due to the Patriot Act:

  FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION: Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror investigations.

  FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records questions.

  FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.

  RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to Americans accused of crimes.

  FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES: Government may search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror investigation.

  RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.

  RIGHT TO LIBERTY: Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them

  As to people being arrested, well..did you READ the Patriot Act? See how that you CAN NOT get information if such "suspects" or "people" are arrested?

  So, you are saying, since YOU don't personally know anybody getting arrested or whose rights are being violated then it must not exist. Nice way to bury one's in the sand.

  Like I said, give it some time....that in a few weeks...you will KNOW somebody from THIS board whose rights have been violated.

  I don't hang my ass out in the air for no reason. I don't say, "I told you so" for no reason.

  And by the way, I hope you enjoy buying your next book at a book store and/or checking one out at the library:

  FBI Begins Visiting LibrairiesBy Christopher Newton
  Associated Press Writer
  
  from The Washington Post
  www.washingtonpost.com
  
  Monday, June 24, 2002, 5:38 PM
  
  WASHINGTON The FBI is visiting libraries nationwide and checking the reading records of people it suspects of having ties to terrorists or plotting an attack, library officials say.
  
  The FBI effort, authorized by the antiterrorism law enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks, is the first broad government check of library records since the 1970s when prosecutors reined in the practice for fear of abuses.
  
  The Justice Department and FBI declined to comment Monday, except to note that such searches are now legal under the Patriot Act that President Bush signed last October.
  
  Libraries across the nation were reluctant to discuss their dealings with the FBI. The same law that makes the searches legal also makes it a criminal offense for librarians to reveal the details or extent.
  
  "Patron information is sacrosanct here. It's nobody's business what you read," said Kari Hanson, director of the Bridgeview Public Library in suburban Chicago.
  
  Hanson said an FBI agent came seeking information about a person, but her library had no record of the person. Federal prosecutors allege Global Relief Foundation, an Islamic charity based in the Chicago suburb, has ties to Osama bin Laden's terror network
  
  The University of Illinois conducted a survey of 1,020 public libraries in January and February and found that 85 libraries had been asked by federal or local law enforcement officers for information about patrons related to Sept. 11, said Ed Lakner, assistant director of research at the school's Library Research Center.
  
  The libraries that reported FBI contacts were nearly all in large urban areas.
  
  In Florida, Broward County library director Sam Morrison said the FBI had recently contacted his office. He declined to elaborate on the request or how many branch libraries were involved.
  "We've heard from them and that's all I can tell you," Morrison said. He said the FBI specifically instructed him not to reveal any information about the request.
  
  The library system has been contacted before. A week after the Sept. 11 attacks, the FBI subpoenaed Morrison to provide information on the possible use of computer terminals by some of the suspected hijackers in the Hollywood, Fla., area.
  
  In October, investigators revisited the county's main library in Fort Lauderdale and also checked a regional library in Coral Springs. At least 15 of the 19 hijackers had Florida connections.
  
  The process by which the FBI gains access to library records is quick and mostly secret under the Patriot Act.
  
  First, the FBI must obtain a search warrant from a court that meets in secret to hear the agency's case.
  
  The FBI must show it has reason to suspect that a person is involved with a terrorist or a terrorist plot far less difficult than meeting the tougher legal standards of probable cause, required for traditional search warrants or reasonable doubt, required for convictions.
  
  With the warrant, FBI investigators can visit a library and gain immediate access to the records.
  
  Judith Krug, the American Library Association's director for intellectual freedom, said the FBI was treading on the rights it is supposed to be upholding.
  "It's unfortunate because these records and this information can be had with so little reason or explanation," Krug said. "It's super secret and anyone who wants to talk about what the FBI did at their library faces prosecution. That has nothing to do with patriotism."
  
  Krug tells worried librarians who call that they should keep only the records they need and should discard records that would reveal which patron checked out a book and for how long.
  
  She is frustrated by the hate mail she says she receives when she speaks out against the Patriot Act.
  "People are scared and they think that by giving up their rights, especially their right to privacy, they will be safe," Krug said. "But it wasn't the right to privacy that let terrorists into our nation. It had nothing to do with libraries or library records."
  
  Some libraries said they will still resist government efforts to obtain records. Pat McCandless, assistant director for public services for Ohio State University's libraries, said, "State law and professional ethics say we do not convey patron information and that is still our stance."
  
  "To the best of our ability, we would try to support patron confidentiality," she said.

  The United Nations is no longer relevant to the US, and we should dump them.

  Yep, spoken like the "true arrogant American"....if the whole world thinks we are wrong (*gasp*), we just dump the whole world.

  Here have some humble pie Farkel, read the second post I made:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=46373&site=3

  Now, after reading it...try crying your tears somwhere else, because a bunch of arrogance and ignorance may fly in your world...but not in the "real world".

  I'll tell you what will happen: Saddam will not use any nuclear arsenal upon U.S. soil, but the U.S. will use nuclear arsenal and conventional weapons on Iraqi soil.

  Now, I ask you: Am I SICK or what!???

  I'll answer it!

  Ooooooh....the power...the many directions I can take this....mwahahahahahahahaha!

  Nope, you're not sick.

  ------------------------------------

  As to "me" going back?

  No way in HELL!

  It's as far from mind as being non-existant. I don't EVEN give it thought. Years ago I had thoughts about "what if they are right...should I go back", but now? Man, it's like I had another life or something as compared to now. I don't even contemplate it. Doesn't even exist inside.
