else who is stressed, listen to "dancing queen" by abba, it's so delicious and soothing, no one can remain mad after listening to it.

I DEFY YOU!!!

We have all seen, if not Total Recall, then the myriad of other sci-fi movies, a future of a security gone wild. Whether it is Ahrnuld fumbling the English language trying to get past a security checkpoint dressed as a roid-raged Mrs. Doubtfire, or just the idealistic overextending and peacekeeping of the "Alliance" of Serenity/Firefly. Most visions of the future, from Orwell to Phillip K. Dick, have a government as a large fixture of everyday life...sometimes in startling places, and usually serving as a cautionary tale.

In Jersey City, NJ, Homeland Security is beginning an experiment. X-ray baggage machines and walk-through metal detectors are being used as commuters go to take the PATH trains from the Jersey City station to get into New York City. These measures are a federal test program of Homeland Security designed to improve rail security around the country. People will line up, and, per Homeland Security, it will ONLY take 1 minute from their commute time to do this process.

A huge change has taken place, post-911. If you are not aware, please note Bush's recent eavesdropping without court orders. In fact, yesterday was the first congressional hearing to look into this issue. Not that you would know...CNN was busy running their Fall Fashion Week program. Despite news organizations failure to cover these important things, what is clear to me is that there has been a behavior modification, ESPECIALLY by the less-government touting Republicans and the so-called liberal Democrats who have the same desire to control masses, and to create MORE government direction and infiltration into our everyday lives. The Patriot Act, Homeland Security, and many other programs since 911 has been put on the fast-burner, and besides to protect and serve, they protect and serve in more extensive and powerful ways than ever before. Under the words or "Safety" and "Improvements" we are now waiting for our turn in line, to be "checked" by our government.

Now, I watched those towers fall from my building in NYC. I am a railroad commuter entering one of the worlds biggest and poorest run train stations every day. I sometimes imagine, in some anxious moments, how a explosion would rip through the narrow halls of Penn Station. I'd imagine something radiated or nuclear turning the stone into liquid and then burn that into gas in a savage explosion I hope I never see in my lifetime. I fear, like many others.

But despite those fears, which are lovingly caressed and festered by our post-911 government, there is another fear. The fear of overbearing overprotection and a government using that fear to promote, or even put to action without any vote at all, programs designed to get a fastidious grip on the population. One wonders if 911 was about the horror and the desire to not have it happen again, OR was a wake-up call to those in power that they were not as powerful as they were before. And the post-911 lipservice is just an attempt to control what they can, in reaction to not being in control of all.

Keyser's accusations that I am a fat dickless wonder, really really hurt.

and while I cannot help the underendowment that I was born with, I can work on my weight....

I am not pledging to aggressively diet and get down to my ideal weight....
once I find out what that is.....

I need a trainer,
a psychologist,
and a cheer squad....

applications are being accepted.

Yesterday Keyser:

edited another member's poll adding a choice of his liking
changed the vote tally in this poll
posted a picture of another member against their wishes

A veritable spree of rule breaking that has been responded to with a rather limp slap on the wrist.

As members what would we like to see happen....

Glock Model 19 9mm and it is totally BILLY BADASS! I've shot a couple of rifles and shotguns in the past but it was really rare when I've had the opportunity - maybe 3-4 times over the past 15-20 years. But I never shot a handgun or ever owned any gun. I never really wanted one and i'm not some kind of paranoid lunatic like mad but I was bored and thought it would be a cool thing to do. And it was.

The guy who sold it to me was pretty cool (ex-cop and a pretty reputable instructor and shooter) and gave me a nice 20-30 minute crash course/overview on it and gun safety in general. It was a little strange the one time when he was helping me on the shooting range he was like "yeah just press the trigger real slow like your rubbing a nipple just before your going to get laid." But aside from that blip on the kookmeter it was a cool experience. He spent a lot of time with me to make sure that I was absolutely sure that I wanted to buy it. He was such a swell fella I even joined his firing range for a year. So I wound up blasting off about a half a box of ammo and it was ridiculous. A freakin 6 year old could use this thing. It's a goddamn hand cannon, riduclously loud and would probably rip someone's guts out. Unreal.

I wonder what I'll buy or do the next time i take off work becasue of my piece of shit car. I'm thinking pony.

Apparently someone in this apartment has wireless access and my laptop can detect it. I've ignored it for the most part but I just tried to establish a connection and use it and it works! Can I leech off that without being caught?

Keyser Soze be forced to wear The Badge Of Shame.

that was uncalled for and is basically against everything this site stands for. We have talked to keyser and he is sorry as we all are, so if it happens again, this goes for all mods/admins, they will be demodded without question.

lets cut it, ok facepumps?

has made me retarded, I actually was trying to argue with someone in real life and in the middle I froze up and started to drool.

I give up arguing on the internet, its bad for business.

I am in a state of understanding and love from now on, after I demod keyser of course.
