NA, is this how I come across???- if so, I might actually have to shoot myself in the face.


Turn on the webcam first. I need a new pic for my background.
Damn, can't get a hold of a gun over here.


Dont feel bad. Your one of MILLIONS effected by oppressive gun laws.

This outrage needs to stop, people should be free to shoot themselves in the face if they see fit. Its simply not fair that misguided efforts to curb violent crime, should make victims of poor chaps like yourself. Poor worthless bastards who have nothing to live for and every reason in the world to die a violent, self inflicted death.

Its just not fair.

I'm sure he can still buy a cross bow. Guns are so... cliché.

Shocked

I think I'd rather commit seppuku...

I suggest Sungam ninja stars himself in the face until it takes.


They probably banned those things along with switchblades and Uzi's.

Fascist pigs.

He types while sitting in a van out side of Sungams apartment, patiently awaiting the arrival of his prey.

Hey, no worries here. I've got a .40 cal sitting on the desk next to me. If I decide the time has come, I wont have to scrounge around the kitchen for a sharp knife.Smile

Anywhoo, I decided not to do myself in. Sorry, but there is a route I need to do first.

After you stoped posting early this morning zeke got worried and started PMing me, talkin about how bad he would feel if you actually blew your face off. Emotion doesnt come through real well in the written word but I think he may have been crying a little. You should give him a cyber hug, just to let him know your not taking it personal.

WTF is it with this t2stone guy?

Anyway, back to the topic we drifted to a while ago:
So, what will happen when no one in the whole world wants to do things that are repetitive, low-paying and boring? Well, we could all die, we could depend in the poor people that pretty much have no choice, although that will have consequences, OR we could make sure that no one has to do the ugly jobs. How? the answer has been there for years: Machines.
It turns out that things that are repetitive and boring are the jobs machines do best, even better than human beings because they can work with stricter tolerances, will never go on strike, and will never bitch about nasty work conditions, discrimination issues, and the fact that the CEO gets to have a beemer and aprivate jet while they have to take the bus.
The cost is the only (and major) problem. Only when machines cost less than your average chinese sweatshop laborer can this finally work.
Of course then there will be a whole other set of problems, such as former sweatshop laborers bitching about how it's so hard to go to school and how they wish they were exploited instead, but I honestly don't care about that.

And back to the original topic:
YES, I DO care whether my stuff (not only climbing gear) is outsourced to elbonia. It's not racial discrimination, it's just that, statistically, their stuff USUALLY sucks ass. Some made in china stuff is actually good though (price is almost always correlated with quality, irregardless of the manufacturing country, you get what you pay)
I still do buy C4's though, but only because they're tested and certified. Besides, I've never heard of a C4 failing badly (like the alien thing)

(and yes, I love parentheses)

Glad someone did. I sat behind a desk and then went to a cookout at my grandfathers, with family I never talk to. Life can be so rewarding sometimes...
