Pharticus

This guy's good, lol...


Take care...
 

I say replace your mice and keyboard.  And get a haircut and wax your back... 

Love the intro as well. I'd love to move to Montana to get away from all the socialist collectivists here in western WA, bu alas my wife's family is all here..... Perhaps someday.

Corruption within the LAPD is one thing and needs to be thoroughly investigated. Going on a vendetta and murdering innocent bystanders (or anyone, for that matter) and police officers is another.  There is no justification for the actions he took, period. If he wanted to get the word out on what he believed was going on within the LAPD, there are more sane ways of going about it. Clearly, he was deranged, his sense of right and wrong and what is moral deeply warped. 

A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. Here is what was written: 
 
 
 
 
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one,' but I think He must be a lot older than that.
Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did.
Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.....Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.
Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff.
Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David.. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.
There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn.(I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Republicans.
Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.
But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminium. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution. 

Chaos, educate yourself on the power supply.  There a plenty of decent guides to figuring out how much power you will need.  I was going to purchase a new PSU until I read up on it.  Turned out my 600W was more than enough for the hardware I had.  This article will help explain why the average gamer shouldn't buy a 1200W PSU:  http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-psu-review,2916-2.html

The 50" plasma has its own pros and cons.  Obviously the ginormous screen is great to game on, unless you're too close to it and you have to turn your head to view the whole screen.  I've found that it's rotten for surfing the net and reading forums - I have to crank up the font size way to often.  I tend to use my second monitor ( 24" widescreen ) for typical computer use.

My God Bless this family and friends of this man !!!! Thank you for your service to our country much love!!!!!

arma who?

You shouldn't judge a video that is 37 minutes long by watching it for 5 minutes. You can read this link in five minutes. http://www.gleaminge...dsheepdogs.html 
On a side note, that you walked away from the 5 minutes feeling the need to mention never having to shoot someone in your career definitely shows you missed the point of the video. I wish we could all make it 34 years without shooting a soul. Last year 123 law enforcement officers died in the United States. I'm sure some of those are the guys that bragged that they haven't drawn their sidearm in their 20 years of service. I only wish they practiced drawing more often.

"What comes after 1?!"

Well If you can bring over any parts from the old pc that would help on budget. Post your old pc specs so we can see if any will work with the new pc.  Do you have win7 os or are you going win8?  SSDs are nice and fast for use as OS boot drive but can really eat into budget.  If you don't mind waiting a few seconds for your pc to boot then skip the ssd and put more money into video card.  We need to know Intel or AMD.  I have an AMD 8 core 8210 overclocked to 4ghz.  I know lots of people really hate AMD and their speed is slower than most Intel chips but they are cheaper also.  That being said my cpu works just fine for me and I believe if AMD fails and goes out of business that will hurt all of us in the long run.  If that happens Intel will have no competition and that will slow down advancements  in technology and increase in prices.  Motherboards are a messy group.  Most people get a motherboard that has lots of extra stuff and options that they will never use on them.  Really take a look at what you plan to attach to your computer and what other uses you might have like video encoding and such and pick a mobo that fills your needs.  Some motherboards can cost over 200.00 and you never fully use them.  I have a gigabyte 970a-ud3 for 65.00 and it covers all my needs.

is it really that big of a deal that people are commenting on old posts.  What harm does it do?

Personally, I hate locked posts.  It forever prevents the last word, which I sometimes desperately need.  I'm am seeking help for that, but I digress... 
 
Who gives a rat's ass if someone replies to a post made when Christ was a Corporal?  All that does is give us all something to give them shit about.

So sorry Stick.  It hurts being taken advantage by anyone, but especially from your spouse.  Keep searching for someone that matches your moral standard.  Best of luck.

@@PingLo, I appreciate your saying that. I have a profound respect for the men AND women who have stood up to serve our country. It's not an easy choice, and everyone answers the call for different reasons, but nevertheless, they answer the call. DorknRok is among the many here with whom I have sincere gratitude.
 
But. There are exceptions.
 
I actually had written a frikkin book after I made that post, but my tablet decided to get rid of it before I got a chance to post it.
 
I actually have a fairly skeptical view on this sudden change to policy. When I joined the army, my job was combat engineer. Naturally this job was not open to females, so all of the time I spent in training was done in the company of all males. There simply were no females. Even when I got to my unit, I did not work around females. There was one female in the entire company, but she was in supply and rarely got out and around to talk to people. And I'll be honest, it was pretty nice. After a few years in the military, you get used to a certain degree of freedom of language. I got my first dose of females in training during a reclass. Instead of worrying about the next day's training, a handful of our peers were more worried about impressing one of the females (one of about 6 in the company). This led to one getting caught having sex in a port-a-jon, and then subsequently getting chaptered out of the army. Unnecessary to say the least.
 
When I became a drill sergeant, this came to a crashing halt. Suddenly I had to worry about who was listening, and how they felt about what I was saying. I'm not implying that female presence is at fault for the continued "political correctness" that is shaping our force, but it certainly makes it harder. But it's not even just the female presence, America and its youth is gradually getting lazier and less and less competent. They aren't accustomed to working hard or dealing with difficult situations or even handling day to day life without everyday conveniences. Add on top of that having to deal with females who use their "time of the month" as an excuse to get out of training, or call one of my peers out on sexual assault simply because they heard something they thought was offensive (he lost his hat). This simply wouldn't have happened when I came through. If someone took offense to something, they rarely spoke up about it and instead grew a pair and dealt with it. Now you have to pick your fights. Now you have to worry about pissing off the wrong female (and when push comes to shove, they believe the private over the drill sergeant every time).
 
I won't say all females are like this; I agree with the opinion that there are a handful and more who are willing to bear the brunt of the rigors of life overseas and abroad shoulder to shoulder with males. But I don't think that their capability is all that is in question. Females in combat environments have long presented multiple conflicts. One concern I have is the dilemma of "fight or flight". Many have said that they wouldn't care about sex if the person beside them could carry them wounded out of harm's way. But what if you were in charge of triage? What if you were asked to choose between a man with a sucking chest wound, and a female screaming out in pain because she was shot in the leg? Are you, as a male with your deep seeded virtues of protecting females, capable of determining without bias who receives treatment first? This is one of many issues. But I will say that contrary to popular belief, there are females already outside the wire seeing combat. The restriction previously held prevented them from being recognized for their efforts and bravery. Chances are, no matter who you are, you are going to see some level of combat, especially if you were in Iraq or in or going to Afghanistan.
 
I don't want to get into all the complications, and I don't want anyone to think I'm sexist (I apologize if I have offended any females). My true purpose in the military is training, and I enjoy the hell out of getting the opportunity to help save lives and make our army better. I remain skeptical for now, but I guess only time will tell.

I guess I'm more traditional than most. I don't think women should be in combat. There is a huge difference in men and women that political correctness demands we ignore. I'm generalizing, so there will always be exceptions to the rule. By nature women are nurturers, which makes combat tougher for them. They also have weaker upper body strength, so if we are applying the same physical requirements across the board less women will make it (you see this in law enforcement, few women can do the push-ups). I think war is a man's "game", we are physically, mentally and emotionally better suited for it. Having women in combat also puts the men in their unit more at risk because we inherently want to protect our women. We have a deep seeded need to be the knight in shining armor.
 
I'm not saying there aren't women capable of combat and performing well. Just that men are better suited for it.

So sorry, Angel. I'm praying for peace and healing for your dad and your family. God has a way of workings things out. It's not always the way we think He should but He knows what he's doing. Trust and believe.
