I mean, I think every child likes to dress up as a favorite superhero or princess or sports figure. But that usually stops by somewhere in the third grade. A few of the really maladjusted kids may go Goth for a year or so in junior high but that usually ends when they discover it's not going to get them a prom date or when summer rolls around and dressing all in black will make you sweat like a pig.
And why in the name of the Aqua Buddha, would anyone participate--as an adult--in this?
So what exactly does a foam sword have to do with guns?
ReplyDeleteYou always have these big ideas of anti-gun snarkdom but you fail time and again to even make a point.
Of course my favorite from you for "guns and booze" is a pic of a BB gun and a bottle of Kool-Aid. That still cracks me up. So which is it? Guns and booze together are actually so rare an occurrence that you could not locate an actual photo? Or did you just not know the photo you chose was of a toy?
How about someone who dresses in drag on the weekends? Should they be disarmed? What names would you call them?
ReplyDeleteFWM, I don't think you really want to say guns and booze DON'T go together, do you? I mean, don't we all agree there's too much of that?
ReplyDeleteAbout dressing up as an adult, playing fantasy re-enactments, I really don't understand it. I think there's a sick connection between that sort of thing and the gun owner who constantly imagines scenarios in which he will have to save the day. I'll bet too many of you do that too much and it probably leads to psuedo-DGUs every once in a while/
I know, I know, you want to see evidence.
"FWM, I don't think you really want to say guns and booze DON'T go together, do you?"
ReplyDeleteI didn't say that. I simply pointed out that Jade Fool doesn't know a toy from a real gun. Of course, most anti-freedom loons don't know anything about guns is the problem. Carolyn McCarthy and her famous "shoulder thing that goes up" is another example. At least Laci's gun knowledge is based upon Wikipedia.
And this, a---wipe, let Andy make a disparaging comment about me in medieval garb
ReplyDeleteUm, Mike, How about my Participation in Ommegang? That's why I was dreesing up. Does participating in a 500 year old Belgian tradition make it different than playing knight?
ReplyDeleteMy grouse is that he wouldn't tell Andy he was out of line.
BTW, I heard it from a very reliable source that Andy had my info BEFORE I posted his IP address. No futher comment.
Laci, No offense intended to you, what I said is I don't understand this dressing up whether it be those midieval festivals they have in Europe or the Revolutionary War re-enactments in the U.S. My problem begins with the pro-gun guy who lives in the macho fantasy world of coming to the rescue of defenseless citizens, or dramatically saving his family in a blaze of gunfire, or exacting revenge on those "goblins," as Jay G. calls them.
ReplyDeleteI think those things are a problem because those guys, the ones doing all that fantasizing, are downright dangerous.
Once again JadeGold demonstrates how he does not stalk people on the internet.
ReplyDeleteJeebus, Ruffy. Your definition of "stalking" seems to include looking at the websites of others.
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure: I've looked at Ruffy's website.
No, it becomes stalking when you are scouring through websites to find out people's real names. Then using that information to search through their social media sites. Then finding pictures of them and in some instances modifying them. Then taking all of that info and reposting it to other sites in an attempt to shame them or somehow expose them. That goes well beyond "reading someone's website".
ReplyDeleteRuffy: Again, all the info I have comes from their own websites. Apparently, you're demanding that when some puts their own name on their own website that nobody should look.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any examples to the contrary, please share.
I don't recollect putting my name on my websites...
ReplyDeleteJeebus, Ruffy. Your definition of "stalking" seems to include looking at the websites of others.
ReplyDeleteActually Jade, it's the malicious use of that information that makes it stalking.
Funny, because we all know you hate it when we call you by your full name...
Weerd: And I revealed your name...where?
ReplyDeleteAnon: What malicious use? Care to elaborate? As for my name, it probably bothered me 10 years ago when I was outted...not so much anymore.
you were lying about moderating the comments here?
ReplyDeleteWeerd: No, I share comment moderation duties. My policy towards moderation is pretty much not to moderate unless 1. it's spam; or 2. the comment levels a threat or asserts somebody is a sex offender, rapist, etc.
ReplyDeleteIn the 2 weeks, I've mod'd comments, I've probably deleted 5 comments that made it past the spam filter offering deep discounts on Cialis and knockoff designer clothing. I did moderate a comment from Karl Hadley who violated #2 above.
I also deleted a few of kaveman's because they were so vile. In addition to what Jadegold does, I delete the ones asking about my illegal guns because I've responded to that enough.
ReplyDeleteWeerd: And I revealed your name...where?
ReplyDeleteThat was Laci, not JadeGold. JadeGold just pretended not to notice that the Anonymous poster and Laci's IPs were identical.
