No comment. You can't prove that was me. If it was me, I don't think I was dueting with Capt. that night. P. S. Where did you get that pic?

Uh oh. There's pics?

I'm the world's worst singer. I sing in the key of OFF. I'm worse than a dying cat in a hail storm. I can be swayed though if I sing a duet with Captain Morgan.

Doesn't matter. Just do it Chappie! Please?

So I was thinking........ (stop laughing!) XI members singing karaoke is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. What if we make videos of members singing Christmas songs? No talent required. In fact, non-talented singers are preferred. I think it would be fitting.......and hilarious. Who's first? Post your videos here. Please? I'm sure there's sites out there for karaoke and I haven't really checked it out. I did find this one though. http://www.thekaraokechannel.com/online# Funny songs. Serious songs. Doesn't matter. Include your family if ya want. Dogs too. Santa suits are okay but no "birthday suits" please. lol Plug up those webcams and go for it!

Very good point BB, But gratefully, neither do I... *s* Whatever. Apparently Canada is Utopia. The US isn't. We have home invasions and gang violence here. We have rapists and child predators. People break into our homes and businesses with all sorts of weapons. Baseball bats are used more often to kill people. Ban baseball? Do things the way you want there and we'll do it the way we want here. So far, I've only heard from NON-AMERICANS who want our guns banned. Mind your own business. Im really not sure why you would have to react to harshly BB. I was agreeing with you, and mentioning that I personally didnt have to. I wasnt commenting on any country or making comparisons. I leave that for others. Pete (ter) My apologies. I thought you were saying that you didn't feel we needed hand guns to protect our families. I'm just a bit sick to death of people outside of this country having that opinion when they have no clue what they're talking about.

Awww and you gave Chile gifts too. That's so sweet! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I've heard that Phillip Morris was initially trying to sue and/or aid the FDA in getting e-cigs banned at first. Now I see that PM was going try their hand at producing e-cig vapors. http://www.ecigadvanced.com/blog/philip-morris-jumps-in-on-electronic-cigarettes/

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Nice.

Hi! Welcome to the forums! Glad you joined us.

Dang it Pete! I told you not to tell!!! Great work Hxtr! I'm looking forward to hanging out on your porch again soon.

Praying for strength and comfort your family.

You have ignored my point. I am interested in what happens down there for the reasons that I have stated. Given agreements between our countries and the porous nature of our shared border, there is a real danger to my country and way of life from the gun culture that is so close to me geographically, economically, and politically. I do not want it. You have ignored my point. I am interested in what happens up there for the reasons that I have stated however you're country must do what they think is best for the particular circumstances there. Given agreements between our countries and the porous nature of our shared border, there is a real danger to my country and way of life from the NON-gun culture that is so close to me geographically, economically, and politically. I do not want it. The likelihood of my culture's perspective on unrestricted civilian ownership of weaponry being imported to yours is directly proportional to the ratios of our populations; that is to say, the threat from your side is 10 times the threat that mine is to yours. You have nothing to fear. Canada, on the other hand... So, because Canadians don't want/need certain weapons, Americans shouldn't be allowed to have them either. I get it now. Makes perfect sense. We have to agree to disagree. You believe certain weapons are a danger to your society. I believe the lack of certain weapons is a danger to mine. It's all about protecting the ones you love.

Still praying. God has a way of turning bad situations into great blessings sometimes. Please keep us updated.

The lobbyists from the gun industry have not won. They are forever fighting to protect our rights from people that want to remove them because they could care less about us. My only hope and goal is to contain that particular anti-gun culture and situation out of my country. There's a lot to love and admire about Canada. The anti-gun culture/situation is not one of those things. You have my sincerest hope that you make it through your life unscathed by it. As it is apparently is peaceful non-violent existence there, I hope it remains that way. I hope that your women never have be afraid to go to a shopping mall or even to a convenience store. I hope that your citizens can rest easy at night knowing that no one is going to break in to harm them. I hope that your towns never see gang violence (which uses automatic weapons by the way). I hope that none of your cashiers die while being robbed or children killed at schools. We don't have that peace of mind here. We have to live in fear and look over our shoulders in nearly every town in the USA. Now we also fear losing rights to protect ourselves from such harms using weapons of our choice while the morons in Washington are protected by the biggest and best guns. I am just as firm in my opinion that we should keep our rights to bear arms (even automatic ones) as you are in your opinion. Best of luck to you.

Bottom line. Gun control will not prevent incidents like school shootings from happening. Period. It will only prevent law abiding citizens from owning the guns they choose to own and use for whatever legal activity they're involved in. Whack jobs and evil thugs will always have automatic weapons. No gun law will change that. As for small caliber hand guns, you better make sure you hit them in the right spot to kill them. If you wound them, THEY can sue you even though they were breaking into YOUR home and trying to hurt YOU. I'd rather have a little more insurance personally.
