  3. I drive a 98 Camaro
  4. BTW. Here's an interesting look at the Foreign Legion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbuBSnP-01E I'll take the punishment of Marine corps training over that, thank you.
  5. One of the real-world advantages to online gaming is that you get to meet and chat with folks from all over the world. I have played games with people from just about every European country including France. Interestingly, I have found that MOST world cultures seam to be the reverse overall to what most Americans seam to think. For example, most people I've met from the Netherlands are modest folks who describe their country as a very relaxed, middle class country, most Germans I've met were extremely polite and seamed to have a "collage town" mentality and similarly describe their country. Most people I've met from developed Asian countries (Philippines, Taiwan etc.) seam to have very similar personalities to Germans. Most of the french people I've met, both online and in person sound remarkably similar to Americans, boasting allot of criticism towards their government and overall similar life values. In fact, most french people I've met would probably get along on this board allot better then most British or Australians. And unlike the British and Australians, the French are still a relatively well armed nation. As far as their "surprising" attitude towards US soldiers. When it comes to pretty much any part of the media, Americans are known to be rude, arrogant, hypocritical and slobs not just to the French but to pretty much the rest of the developed world. I've actually come across online gaming communities on the Playstation Network that strictly prohibit Americans DUE to their overwhelming problems with belligerent behavior by American gamers. Interestingly, none were hosted by French, most were Asian. And if you look at your usual youtube comments, talk on message boards and US media, it's really hard NOT to get this impression of Americans if you don't live here. I don't know what the typical military demeanor is like but every marine I've ever met was always respectful, curious and ready for a fight at a moment's notice if need be. That goes directly against the common "youtube" attitude most people around the world have grown accustomed to. So, yeah, that article for the most pert makes perfect sense. To me anyway.
  6. No surprise. But the Hellcat is ugly as sin while the new Corvette Stingray is pretty close to being among the prettiest cars on the road IMO. When it comes to drag racing, this is the match that initially really took me by surprise. And now that I'm driving one, that match only figures. These things don't have very good top speed but they accelerate insanely fast. A couple dozen times now I've gone from parked at a traffic light in the turn lane to going 50mph by the time I straightened out. I'm guessing around 2 seconds. And I wasn't racing, just trying to squeeze in.
  7. Merry MishSquish to you!!!
  8. "Just like the modern clown, the mantis shrimp has a psychopathic killing instinct." "It can taste and smell what it touches. This is an ability I'm glad I don't have." "Regretted asking when the live demo ensued." I LOVE his way of putting things. His "imagine this" examples are great too.
  9. I just did a fact check and I guess you're right. But it gets worse. Sounds like a James Hill is not a vet but some scumbag who put a WW II vet in a coma who later died. I don't know what to think of that. Anyway, it's just something someone shared with me on facebook and thought I'd pass it on.
  10. It seams the brilliance and creativity of the average American that Hollywood has tossed to the wind is finding it's way on to youtube channels. Remember Honest Trailers? Well, here's another one I found recently. These are sort of like short, 2 to 7 minute documentaries about wild life but; like honest trailers, they're funny as hell. I laughed my head off all night last night, watching these.The narrator is a white guy who sounds exactly like Morgan Freeman. Here are just a few of my personal favorites. Enjoy!!
  11. Get a load of this: http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/usa-ww2-veteran-emerges-from-coma-after-69-years/#comment-195714 That may sound like good news but if you really think about it, he's probably in living hell right now. Being brought back by the work of a GERMAN scientist and it's probably only a matter of time before someone offers to give him a ride in their Mitsubishi will probably make him feel like he's living out an episode of the twilight zone. But the really messed up part is that he was a young man when he clocked out. Most people I've met who have been in a coma describe no experience or passage of time while in it. If he's one of those cases, he went to sleep a 20 year old young man with dreams and ambitions only to wake up a crippled elderly man who's probably getting ready to die of old age. On top of that, he's probably thinking allot about what sacrificing his life really bought. With the war seaming like very recent history to him and only being alive for a short remaining time, he's been given a uniquely and brutally accurate look at that which few; if any people ever have. Poor fellow.
  12. Apparently they think gun owners are stupid.
  13. I'm kinda with you. I have never quite understood the need for cross platform. I say either make the AK as accurate as the AR or make the AR as reliable as the AK. From what I understand, both have been done and done without being very expensive; relative to usual costs.

    Any you keep putting words in my mouth.

    "Fury"

    I watched it the other day. A relative treated me to it as an early Christmas gift. It was a good film. Apart from the fact that it had a Tiger in it, the only thing really unique about it is that they did a pretty good job of depicting the "not so cut and dry" nature of tanks shooting big guns at one and other and some of the hazards ground troops faced when caught in the middle of it. As far as blood and gore, to any who haven't seen it yet, it's basically got allot of people getting shot by big guns. If you recall the scene from Saving Private Ryan where those GIs got shot to pieces with a 20mm Flak, well, it's got allot of that. Otherwise I'd compare it overall to Enemy at the Gates in terms of realism, quality and Hollywood distortion. One bad thing that got my blood boiling is the whole "rape" thing. I am all for reminding people that some of our troops raped women in that war as it is vital people be reminded that good and evil can be found in every culture and army but to have a soldier trying to get away with raping a young girl and then spending the rest of the movie glorifying him really pi$$ed me off to say the least. I nearly found myself briefly rooting for the Germans when they splattered his stomach all over the tank. That's my only complaint though. It appeared to me that they took a bunch of true stories from WW II and blended them all in to one. Perhaps the one thing I most appreciated about the movie was bringing to life so many subjects you occasionally hear whispers about but have yet to be treated to in a recreation of WWII on screen. For example, the SS forcing women and children to fight or die, the sometimes sick and demented behavior by some of our troops, the radical nature of the SS (though I think Stalingrad probably did a better job then any modern American films about portraying just how evil and sick in the head true radical Nazis were) and of course, how outmatched we were by German tanks. And yeah, allot of weapons in that film that you usually don't see in WWII films like the M3, Sturmgewehr 44, Panzerfaust and I think I even saw a G43 in there. Overall it was a good film and worth watching. I doubt the movie was a direct true story, rather a bunch of true stories all blended in to one but if you're not up to speed on your history, you'll probably find it educational.
  16. Actually, the idea that western civilization (and the Christian church) oppressed and/or persecuted scientists and chemists out of ignorance is a false rumor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_Flat_Earth
  17. You too
  18. LOL. hint... Apparently some people skipped chemistry class.
  19. No, this is not Photoshopped or a prank. It's all for real. So, what's wrong with this picture?
  20. Quite putting words in my mouth. I'm asking you nicely. You're you're starting to make enemies now.
  21. I'm not going to play the "which is better" game. I know better then that. But I have fired dozens of 1911s including Springfields, Colts, Kimber, LAR Grizzly, Taurus, and probably 3 dozen others I don't recall or never got the names of. I also have a HK USP .45, The LAR Grizzly was super accurate but fired a cartridge that's almost impossible to come by anymore (.45 Wind Mag). Beyond that, I'll take the HK USP over any 1911 I've ever fired any day. That's just me and my own preferences.
  22. hu?
  23. A man was leaving town on a long business trip and he didn't want his wife getting "lonely" so he went to a sex shop to buy her a dildo. As he looked around he noticed one dildo in a case that didn't look like anything special but had a $20,000 price tag. He asked the store clerk what the big deal was. The store clerk said, "Oh, I'll show you!" and then said, "voodoo dildo....the door". The dildo magically rose from the box and began pounding the door hard and rapidly. After several seconds the clerk said, "voodoo dildo.....the case" and the dildo magically returned to it's case. The man said, "WOW!! That's amazing. I'll take it!! So he returned home and his wife wasn't there. So he left it for her in a pretty gift box with instructions on how to activate it. His wife returned later that day to find it. She decided to try it out and said, "voodoo dildo... my vagina" it magically rose from the box and started pounding her, causing orgasm after orgasm. But it eventually started interfering with her responsibilities so she decided to put it away. That's when she realized her husband forgot to leave instructions on how to turn it off. So she left for the hospital to see if they could do something. But the voodoo dildo was causing her to drive erratically which got the attention of a police officer who pulled her over. As the officer approached her window, he noticed her squirming around and said, "lady.... have you been drinking?" She replied, "No officer, it's a voodoo dildo." The officer replied, "Voodoo dildo my a$$."
  24. My sig is a joke. What I said about Stalin wasn't. COME ON YOU PEOPLE!!
