    It's ok Fremen, I'm all about your likes. It strokes my ego. And a guy with a head the size of mine needs all the stroking he can get.

    You must be confusing him with Snoop Dogg. He's Snoop Lion now.

    It's only hypocrisy if he still likes, owns, uses guns like he did before.

    You mean in such tracks as "No More Guns," which is pretty much what it sounds like, and "Tired of Running," which contains the line "This gangsta life ain't no longer in me"?

    He still makes money off that image. But, yeah, I realize I'm surrounded by people who couldn't care less about gun rights.

    Well in that case, American entertainment is filled with similar hypocrites (surprise, surprise): Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger (to name a few).

    But I can't blame them considering the kinds of paycheques they get. Amiright?

    And if I don't care about gun rights, it's because I don't have to. My country's freedom isn't dependent on a constitutional right to bear arms. Where we're sitting now is fair enough, if you ask me. Though I think government and law enforcement need to do more about handguns.

    Indeed. As far as firearms are concerned, even my personal hero here is an idiot.

    Irrelevant. Your freedom isn't dependent on a fire extinguisher either but it's a good idea to have one of those around for times when things go awry.

    Relevant

    /talking about guns here is a bad idea

    It's a good thing Canadians can own both fire extinguishers and guns. This place is a wilderness. Tavor TAV-21 | Grouse River Outfitters | Canada's Premier Outdoor Store

    You're probably right. I propose starting a gun thread in politics.

    Ka-pow!

    Hahaha... OMFG... look at this guy talking about the Tavor like it's a real gun.

    Silly Canadians.

    I'd rather cut off my big toes with tin snips than listen to Tully and Kir-Stang go back and forth.

    Gotta be more careful and keep my gun talk at other forums. Just wild sex and dope here at TFP.

    Honestly, I was never that much into Snoop Dogg. I missed alot of hip-hop in the period when he was popular. My point is that people seem to attribute rap lyrics to the person that wrote them as necessarily a personal manifesto rather than maybe a mixture of that and storytelling, commentary, fantasy. For instance, Ice T - never killed a cop, never supported the killing of cops, 'Cop Killer' was a story. People don't seem to have as much trouble separating art and the artist with most other forms. I have a good idea why that is, but I'll just leave that there.

    Lol, why would a person with a criminal record be expected to share your point of view?

    So, I just watched the new video/song by the Pixies called Bagboy, and I wasn't too impressed.
    Maybe it was the imagery. I'm not sure. I'll just listen to it later see if I change my mind.

    I knew you liked that model. I'm not a part of that in-joke, but I do recall it. However, if a Canadian really wants a C7, or something similar, I'm sure they could get one.

    It's totally okay to stick to yes-men for things you're really passionate about. It's less of a headache, and it keeps the blood pressure down.

    I won't judge you.

    I actually don't (that was KirStang) but it's irrelevant. Just file away in your Useless Trivia folder that the Tavor has a horrible, horrible trigger pull.

    It'd be like tying a 15 pound kettlebell to your wrist and trying to masturbate. You could it done, sure, but it's far from optimal.

    Totally. As the supercomputer in War Games pointed out, the only way to win is to not play the game.

    Well, you can judge my horrible grammar.

    I was being sarcastic. (I know, it's difficult to realize that in snippets of text.)

    Matthew Broderick is the best. WarGames, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Project X, Biloxi Blues? The guy's a fucking genius. He's such a genius, in fact, that we'll forgive him for Godzilla, Inspector Gadget, Deck the Halls, and for stealing Carrie Bradshaw from all of us.

    Your grammar is damn near impeccable. Get your head out of your ass.

    Especially when you're talking about guns. That'd be like me talking about... uh... Chicago Manual.

    Unpossible. I have a high school education and work in an industry where I manage human feces.

    Monsoon season is keeping me from mowing my Jurassic Park-esque backyard. It's getting bad.
