I used to be a frequent flyer because of my job, but now I've changed jobs and I try to avoid planes at all costs. Modern air travel is the most tortuous thing imagineable. I think instead of sending criminals to prison, they should have to endure years of non-stop airtravel across the country or across the world. It's been a couple of years since I've flown, but my last few flights were so bad, I could have walked home quicker than the plane. I will only fly as a last resort.

White Dove, I read The Stand in two days. I think it's over 1,000 pages. I can't remember now, but I couldn't put it down. All of his books are good, even the ones he's written under psuedonyms. I like the Dark Tower series, too. I've been reading his books probably since I was 10. He's awesome.

A fun day out for me.... A day where I don't have to do a damn thing! Usually a "day out" means I have to drive 8 million miles, wait in lines with jerks, do crap I don't want to do, stare at crap I don't want to see, then drive home again while my wife takes a nap in the passenger seat. A perfect day out would involve great big titties and beer and possibly food. :)

Why I post about atheism
by nvrgnbk inoftentimes the accusation is made that there is some sort of conspiracy on jwd amongst the atheists to convert, humiliate, spit on, or otherwise degrade the believers.
it's been suggested that their tone is condescending and arrogant.. it's hinted at that they're angry and bitter about their own lives and want to take it out on god and his humble servants.. others think it's all just an excuse to lead what they judge to be a morally depraved life.. regardless of what we believe about god's existence or lack thereof, most rational adults understand that when we attempt to judge the motives of others we can miss by a mile.. so here's the reason i post about the topic of atheism.... i was born as one of jehovah's witnesses, fourth generation.
i was being indoctrinated with jehovah while i was still in the womb.

If it is important to God whether or not I believe in Him, then I should think that it would be pretty important in God's "List Of Things To Do" that he would constantly communicate with me to at least remind me of his existence. So far, I haven't heard anything from him. Not even a post card. Until I hear something, I'm an atheist.

Mr. Flipper & Son Hear, See, and Get Footprints of Bigfoot on Pack Trip
by flipper inso, the long awaited trip began for my son and i to return to the same place he heard a bigfoot a year ago in the forests of northern california.
the trip started out unfortunately for us to be a 7 mile hike instead of a 2 to 3 mile hike in to our base camp , as huge snow drifts covered the road , making it even inaccessible for 4 wheel drive, so , with packs on backs we hiked over 50 ft long snow drifts on places on the trail.
even snow was covering one creek near the lake we were destined for .

The company I work for manufactures certain types of detection equipment. We had some guy from Oregon call in about a year ago and he told me that he was camping in the woods when he caught a "big foot-like" creature rummaging through the back of his pickup truck. He said that he didn't care if anybody thought he was nuts, he just wanted to purchase equipment to go back and capture video of the creature. Due to certain restrictions, I couldn't sell him the equipment, but his story was interesting anyway. I wonder if he ever went back to try and get some video of it??

Caedes, there is a problem with anti-gun laws. The problem is that when law-abiding citizens are banned from having guns - or any other weapon for that matter - then by default only criminals have weapons. This makes the law-abiding citizens targets. When law-abiding citizens are in posession of weapons, there is no additional threat. There is no additional criminal intent. The already law-abiding citizens just happen to have a weapon in his or her posession. Caedes, because you live in the UK, I assume you don't own a gun. But if you did, would you automatically go out in the street and start shooting people or robbing convenience stores? No, you wouldn't, and neither do any of the thousands of lawfully armed United States citizens who carry a gun. In fact, crime statistics in the US support the claim that crime of all types, but particularly armed robbery, are reduced when gun laws are more liberal. So, it is safer for everyone, including those who chose not to carry a weapon.
In a perfect world, we wouldn't need guns, but since there are people who have them that shouldn't, it makes it a necessity for the rest of us to have access to them.

I live in the South. I carry a loaded hand gun. That's not because I'm from the South. That's because I have a brain. My brain knows that somebody who means to harm me or other law-abiding citizens might be carrying a weapon. That's not southern; that's just common sense. I'm originally from New Jersey.
As far as shooting them 3,000 times and wanting to mount the carcas above my fireplace........ Nah, I'll pass. Besides, I hope all of the practice I get at the gun range would mean that my marksmanship is good enough to drop somebody with no more than one or two shots. One well-placed .45 caliber slug to the head or chest should take care of it. Thankfully, I've never had to shoot anyone, and I hope I will never need to. I have had to produce my weapon on two occasions, and both times just the sight of the weapon ended the encounter. Muggers and would-be robbers don't like it when their victims have weapons. It kind of takes away their advantage! The biggest, baddest street thug will crap himself when he hears the slide of a large caliber handgun cock in a dark alley.

Low Key, at least your wife is sniffing stuff at the grocery store. I should own stock in the Bath & Bodyworks company. My wife would spend 80% of every paycheck buying crap there if I didn't stop her. She can spend hours in there smelling all kinds of crap. It's not like she doesn't have perfume and stuff; I bought her plenty of expensive perfumes that she likes. She just feels the need to buy more crap at Bath & Bodyworks. I know I'm not alone on this. My brother's wife is the same way. His wife even buys all their candles and oils and stuff. His house reeks so bad of Bath & Bodyworks stuff, we have to go out in the garage to sniff some gasoline to clear our sinuses. Bath & Bodyworks is like crack to the women; once they get a taste, they'll spend everything they have to get more.
