I didn't just quote another post for no apparent reason, Pastor. You're just being paranoid.

Yes please? (so long as the song is done well, preferably in some form of cross-genre) Headset or headphones + microphone?

Now look who's maintaining the off-topic stuff... It ain't me is it. OT: Quite pretty even for a work uniform. (and yes, I did see all those things in your pic) What phone is that?

Artists? (Possibly another image heavy topic)

You can always post a link to it's location in a spoiler tag with a disclaimer. -
So you think removing the freedoms of everyone in the entire country only affects the minorities? (that is what is actually going to cause war if it ever happens) Racism is an extremely minor issue anymore, it just gets blown way out of proportion by the media. ("there are very few locations in the USA that have any significant form discrimination, and more often than not it is the minorities that are being intolerant of straight white people" - a quote from 5 different black guys, 3 homosexuals, and dozens of hispanics I've known over the last few years)

Indeed. That doesn't mean that they're infallible though, just because they're 'peer-reviewed', and haven't been challenged for a few years. (that is what ThePest179 has been implying consistently throughout all topics)

That is not what an "accident" is. That is called collateral. Not even close to the same thing. More guns at one shootout doesn't really change the statistics for the shootouts, however the location of the shootout does significantly. (also, 4-7 total incidents is less than lightning strike kills per year) As for true 'accidents' increasing proportionally to the number of guns in an area, I would like to see the statistics you find on that. (that means the gun discharged and injured someone, and the gun was either unintentionally fired, or was never intended to injure a person) Concerning no-knock raids... They deserve every shot fired at them if they go to a non-criminal's house. (not saying that they should stop doing them, no-knocks are intended to keep the cops from being shot through the door because they are waiting to serve a warrant to a suspected "armed & dangerous") Who the hell would believe that someone that just broke into your house in a violent manner with no forewarning wasn't there to intend you serious harm? (or for that matter, believe them just because they yell at you that they're police) Why would you use no-knock raids as an argument concerning 'accidents' anyways? (unless the cops go to the wrong house, there is no 'accident' involved) And finally, do you really think size and color changes of the text, or writing [what I can only assume to be] a mocking line of very poorly written gibberish, makes you look smarter? Just an FYI, it doesn't.

Nice little preamp... What do you use currently for an analog-to-digital converter? Might want to check and see if CorridorDigital can give some pointers.

Pixel Piracy. That would be interesting, and he could do a good pirate voice for it too if he wants. lol

will there be a download or torrent of all episodes?
BTGBullseye replied to Templar_David's topic in Freeman's Mind
You can always use mine, but it only goes up to episode 54. (I will be making an up-to-date on with all the episodes, as soon as Ross uploads them) -
Big money controlling news in USA
BTGBullseye replied to Ross Scott's topic in Civilization Problems
That's been going on for decades... I'm surprised it isn't common knowledge yet. -
Currently, if things stay where they are and don't change in any way, we won't have open conflict. (but it will remain tense, and there may be a few minor riots and large demonstrations) If it goes the direction the NSA is pushing for at the rate it's pushing for, I'd say no more than 10 years till Civil War 2. If it goes the way it looks like it'll go, no conflict, because a lot of the tyrannical laws and violations of the constitution are being scrutinized and removed. Things have been changing in recent months, and the two factions in power are now fighting between the different ideals. One for the NSA surveillance-state and violating the Constitution, the other for removing the NSA. ***[PLACEHOLDER FOR EDITING AFTER CHURCH FOR RESPONSE TO ThePest179]***

I can't find any instance where that has happened, and can however find a very prominent one where the release of gun restrictions in Texas was heralded as "returning to the wild west", but in reality all forms of violent crime dropped dramatically. Because if a gunman enters a room and manages to take down one of the civies with guns in the first shot/salvo, there are enough left to have time to take some form of cover and return fire. It also means there is a very high likelihood that at least one will remain uninjured to perform basic first aid, and call for help. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/15/texas-gun-group-charlie-hebdo-paintball Of course it's hardly a scientific experiment. Very unscientific. 2 well trained assailants with automatic weapons will always outclass one civilian with an unfamiliar weapon. The trick is whether that civilian managed to 'kill' one of the assailants or not. (your source doesn't say whether they did or not, just that one of them was hit in 2 exercises) Also, one civilian with a gun is a huge distraction, and theoretically could have save many or all of the lost lives by sacrificing his own. (this is a part of the topic that nobody seems to touch on)

Pipe bombs, most other explosives, (99% of which are unregulated, and I know of at least 30 different formulas that I could whip up in a couple hours from inexpensive household chemicals that could make a 250T explosion when filling the trunk of a car) rocket motors, (when properly arranged and triggered) gasoline, (as an accelerant for arson) a car... I can list quite a few, (and some very obvious ones like the car) are you sure you want me to clutter up the thread with all of them? (tip: plain old flour can be used as a low-power fuel-air explosive in a contained area, and wouldn't be difficult or significantly suspect for an employee to set up in a school cafeteria) On the topic of avoiding the weapon, you can avoid a military grade firearm pretty easily by having 3 people in the room with handguns, all of whom return fire. Also, at very close range, (10 yards or less) 5.56mm NATO rounds fired from most rifles will do minimal damage to a person because they are moving too fast, and are too narrow. (they would have to manage to hit one of two extremely small target areas [brain stem or heart] to have any hope of killing someone, as medical support in the USA is very good) Also, automatic weapons are already banned, and I agree that those should be reserved for trained individuals, as they currently are. (military, militia, specific law enforcement sections like SWAT, and licensed individuals) Automatic weaponry is a completely different animal than a semi-auto, as it has massively different handling requirements and performance, or you can't hit shit with it. (it also eats ammo like crazy) And yes, poverty levels definitely have a lot to do with some violent gun crime, (it is a separate subsection of gun crimes in general, as gun crimes include illegal modifications, possession, concealment, transfer, etc.) but so far as I can find, has nothing at all to do with any mass shooting in US history. If you can find one, please let me know. (this means it was listed as part of the defined reasons someone used them, not just that the person was robbing a bank with a gun, or happened to have low/no income as a side note to their actual criminal intentions) I'm seriously considering posting a decidedly graphic (possibly forum-rules-breaking graphic) video of a medical lecture on firearm injuries... Nah, I don't want another ban.

TES Creation Kit is remarkably easy to use and create with, the problem is that the engine is almost as buggy as the Source engine, and much harder to record frame-by-frame of a demo recording. (last I heard, it was not possible)
