  1. hxtr “Who is the strongest, who is the best, who holds the aces, the East or the West. This is the crap our children are learning.” Roger Waters this has deep meaning to me... Does not sound like crap to me, nothing wrong with teaching our children to be the best they can be.
  2. hxtr I think this guy is full of shit.. but just my opinion. Maybe I am not getting the context but... number one why would you ever give your honor to never leave a circle... and second he would not die first before leaving... no one would. Food, water, taking a shit or piss.. all factors. Well, even hostages get bathroom breaks if needed.....lol. Anyway as in as many of the older Anglo - French wars officer prisoners could often give their "Parole" which was a pledge not to try and escape or bear arms against their captors. It was a honor pledge and once given the prisoners were usually free to wander around town at their own discretion. Parole is the agreement of persons who have been taken prisoner by an enemy that they will not again take up arms against those who captured them, either for a limited time or during the continuance of the war.” Parole agreements are promises given the captor by a POW to fulfill stated conditions, such as not to bear arms or not to escape, in consideration of special privileges, such as release from captivity or lessened restraint. Once upon a time, in a land far away, "honor" actually meant something.
  3. Not sure is a topic like this is of interest but it was in a previous clan I belonged to. Quotes can often a short interesting read, Here are just a couple: "I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls--walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground--there is a possibility that in some way or another I may escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I'd die first!" Karl G Maeser. Utah Educator Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even. Will Rodgers A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. Mark Twain Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed. Winston Churchill

  8. Dark Asylumn - This Puts A Damper On Things well as some of you may have read I got challenged to do alot of posts in one day. I am off to a great start but the freakin Parts store just called and said my parts were in. Shit I gotta stop being a whore and fix my dam truck. be back later to take over the forums once again. with useless nonsense I do hope the truck repair takes a very long time. For me the less useless posts I come across the better
  9. The section of the paper is called "Our World", it's the back section and all on Chile and of course ads. It an entirely separate section of the paper on Chile and does not appear to be accessible via the web.
  10. Someone tell Chile that in todays USA Today there is a section dedicated to Chile. Cannot find the appropriate link
  11. I would say that 2000 posts should take you from Apprentice to Journeyman Spammer.
  12. I have passed the article along to the parents of my grand children. Since my family are all shooters it is worth noting that this type of battery is used in red dot sights. In the past I have bought each of my kids good size gun safes. Hopefully they use them as intended and add these batteries to the safe. Wifey thought I was wasting money buying them gun safes but after digesting the idea, and the grand kids got older, she thought the safes were the best gift I could have ever given. Just took he awhile to realize the wisdom

  21. I was at my Pocono house along with my youngest son, forget what I was watching when programming was interrupted. went and woke my son and we spent the day watching the news. I was also the first to call my wife's place of employment and alert them to the event. They immediately began a off site back up of bank records as best they could. I did go home that evening to be with wife and family.
  22. This commercial only aired once in tribute to the victims of 9/11. Only made the Budweiser horses even more of a favorite of mine. The commercial aired only once so that it would not be perceived as a commercial advertising benefit to Bud.
  23. They would scare me............unless I had a gun.
