feedle: BillSmith70: When was that mythical time when we had no regulations and no taxes?

I think 1786 is the year you're looking for.

Not even then.

Why did you take your gun to Glamour Shots?

I didn't.

I might have bought something cool if my health insurance premiums didn't eat up 2/3s of my take home pay.

When was that mythical time when we had no regulations and no taxes?

Right before the white man showed up, the Indians had no taxes or regulations.

feedle: 4/10. Extra point for effort, but still not up to our usual trolling standards.

I wasn't trolling, I was just pretending like I knew what I was talking about, like everybody else does. Capital gains tax and another Stamp Rebellion will solve all of our problems.

tommyl66: BillSmith70: When was that mythical time when we had no regulations and no taxes?

A Real American would know the answer to that, and I'd be doing the country a disservice if I simply told you the answer.

Because there was never a time. That is the correct answer. The ignorant keep blaming something that has never existed in America.

I spent many thousands of dollars on a two-week driving vacation from Georgia to Arizona and back.

I thought the drive from Pecos to Carlsbad was going to be the most boring part of the trip, but sure enough Oklahoma proved me wrong.

We made it out of AZ just before the entire state burst into flames.

5219 miles in fourteen days.

squirrels eating your wife's basil plants again?

I use a pellet rifle for those. I destroy less meat that way.

new keyboard, you owe me one.

Does the $4500 I had to drop for a new AC count? That's going to be 'of note' for a number of months to come.

/at least it isn't 88^oF in the house any more, that really sucked
//to be fair, it was 22 years old
///still sucked

Hey, I have an anecdotal story that doesn't jive with the aggregate story the numbers are telling - they must be wrong!

I'm not tied to physical possessions, have a few things that keep me comfortable and entertained, and volunteer at the library and a bicycle recycling and repair co-op. Internet and pirated Wii games are things of note which I consume. Freezer is fully stocked and we have a garden.

I spent a lot on beer. That's about it.

I bought the Yes pack for Rock Band 3. That has lots of notes.

The other evening, I was at the local village pub. It was in the high 80's with humidity to match. Across the street, I watched as a homeowner was installing a window air conditioner in the second floor bedroom window. He was no doubt looking forward to a comfortable night's sleep for a change.

Then he dropped it. AC units don't cotton well to a two-story fall.

nekom: I went on an exotic vacation in June, to the far away distant land of western Maryland.

Wow - I've heard that the people there are that color all over - even underneath their clothes.

Why did you take your gun to Glamour Shots?

I think we all know the answer to that question.

Dropped some serious dough on a guitar amp trade deal @ the end of May. I've bought a few odds and ends, and had a car repair bill or 2 to deal with, but no big purchases since.

No big purchases planned for the future either, aside from acquiring a second job in the fall. I'm making headway, but it's not happening fast enough for my liking.

FlashHarry: BillSmith70: Did not get it for hunting animals.

so, you have a sniper rifle. and you've just stated that it isn't for "hunting animals."

so quit being coy, tough guy, what did you buy it for? or should i say, "who" did you buy it for?

How about none of your farking business?

I've been investing in lead since early 2008 (well more then normal for me) but something tells me you'll need more then lead for that baby. I did get 300 pounds of lead free from a range cleanup recently.

I would love to get one but there are 3 things holding me back.

1) Paying for daughters wedding.
2) Living in the Peoples Republic of NJ
3) I need my debt limit increased and congress hasn't gotten to it yet.

Oh, I think somebody bragging about owning a sniper rifle is everybody's business. Especially the FBI's.

You can always use wheel weights. I pick those up free from tire places. Then you have to learn to load your own ammunition.

Nope, not at all. And it is perfectly legal to own and shoot one.

I spent a lot in Montreal at the end of June. But, other than that I've been paying down my car and stacking my savings/investment accounts. Why should I buy stuff when my job gets threatened by government shutdowns every two to three months?

/contractor
//will be 100% debt free at the end of the month, just in time for the next budget crisis

I bought six more gigs of ram for the desktop.



And a SSD and 9 cell battery for the laptop.

People are free to waste their money however they want.

People who buy guns do so in case we get invaded by another country or if the government starts telling us what to do.

You know, because a man with a gun is going to save the day against drone strikes and nuclear weapons.

I bought a 1926 second edition, first printing copy of the Prophet for 200.

I'll sell it to any of you for 1k.

/Bookseller.
//June kinda sucked. July was worse. It usually is though due to summer vacations and we don't sell beach reader novels.

so why mention that it's "not for hunting animals," tough guy?

you have what looks to be a .50 cal sniper rifle, and you've stated that it's not for hunting animals. that suggests that you bought it to kill people from a distance. did you buy it to kill people from a distance, BillSmith70?

If he bought a .50 cal to hunt anything other then maybe elephant, he's an idiot. The .50 cal has a terrible MOA and is used to diable vehicles in the military. I'd take a .300 Winmag any day of the week over a .50 cal

Why do people need those kinds of guns? I can understand if you are hunting...but still. And I don't understand the appeal of shooting at things in the desert. People do stupid things with guns.

Who said anything about need? They are fun to shoot.
