Btw your rack is fucking nice make me wanna squeeze them
Bella, do you let them get squeezed?
Heads up, if you desire to gift her or are inclined to comment and vote on her only picture, please do so before she goes POOF!
I give the member credit for posting such an eye catching picture. So many to choose from the internet and she chose a juicy one
The one posted picture was good but in my opinion, good pictures often seem to scream "fake" at me.
I like peanut butter.
A lot.
That is all.
I eat peanut butter all the time. I like it with Ritz Crackers, with a cream sauce and cashews on chicken, in cookies, by the spoonful, and of course in sandwiches.
CHEEZ WHIZ AND PEANUT BUTTER IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I have mentioned it here before, but my all time favorite is a peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. Seriously! Very tasty.
Makes me think about a hundred years ago, my friend was 1 of 9 children in a good Catholic family. The mom was a stay at home mom, the dad a mechanic. Bottom line, lunch for the kids was peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwiches. Peanut butter was cheap and Miracle Whip was less expensive than jam or jelly and had a sweet taste to it.
What's the matter with you guys???
What was unique about the matter was that she provided her(?) name, an address, telephone number, email address and a link to her website claiming that the pictures posted on SYD/SYC, Showitoff was an unauthorized use of her image.
The first member comes along and votes to delete but acknowledges admin should be involved. The second member votes ABUSE NOT VALID and agreeing that admin should be involved and the third member comes along and also votes ABUSE NOT VALID agrees admin should be involved and freezes the voting. Okay? Did anyone contact admin?
So I jot a quick message to admin asking him to review the report and out of curiosity, I send a message to the guy who froze voting and asked him if he had.
Apparently, when admin saw my message or perhaps reviewed whatever paperwork is generated when a referral is made, he quickly deleted the fake profile established under the nickname of RandyRaz and kindly responded to my message advising me that that was how a real DMCA Copyright stolen report should be filed and he hadn't dealt with a "real" concern like that in 5 years.
So the person that freezes the report and voting gets back with me hours later and asks me what the freeze button was for. In his message he said basically it is not his responsibility to follow through with regard to touching base with admin. Really? Your not responsible? How long would the personal information be available to who knows whose eyes? If you think you are allowing people time to "react", what reaction did you want and from whom?
One of the things admin made clear to the voting members of the Evaluation Panel was, there were no rules however he did stipulate, "If you do not have any common sense you should not participate here!"

GUNS DON'T KILL, PEOPLE KILL
LET'S RESCIND THE SECOND AMENDMENT. IT'S TIME.
To blame the gun for a bad event is to blame a hammer for a out of square house.Or to blame a fork for a fat person.
The PERSON using the gun is the guilty 1.
No need to continue as I am singing to the deaf without alot of animated signage!

You do know that amendments have to be ratified by states in an election?
When we call a cop,when they get here 20 minutes + later,they at least have a gun to level the playing field if not put the situation to their advantage to gain control. And of they also bring the pen and note pad.
How the fuck did I get dragged into this anyway?
If you think all is hunky dory in the US, with the amount of gun deaths and your rates of incarceration, who am I to lecture you?
I asked you a question in a previous thread that you failed to answer, so I'll try again:
Who do you think is more likely to be killed with a gun? Me or you? Still happy with your system?
Now, fuck off mentioning me in something that I have very little to add to.
Brazil has 4 times higher amount of firearm homicides than US, Venezuela - 5 times higher. Both have very strict gun control. In Brazil you can be arrested even for carrying a screwdriver if you are not a professional in need of carrying such tool.
Also, you can see that gun-related deaths in US are mostly suicides, not homicides while in Brazil and Venezuela suicides by guns are almost non-existent i.e. guns are mainly used for murder, which is natural, considering that they are used mostly by criminals.
This shows that just taking away guns from law-abiding citizens does not lower gun-related homicides by itself. However, it opens more opportunities to government to establish a dictatorship. Which has happened in Venezuela relatively recently.

Venezuela is certainly authoritarian. Dictatorship? Maybe, depending on your definition. You have, however, failed to show a causal link between "taking away guns from law-abiding citizens" and establishing a dictatorship.
PS. if I were a US citizen I would be more inclined to compare my Nation to other developed, mature democracies. On that reckoning the US does terribly when compared to Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy (need I go on?).
You seems to be smart so you should be able to figure out how they are connected from history of 20th century. The only reason you don't is that you don't like it. Ok, name me one dictator who was pro-guns for everyone (not just elites or pro-government paramilitaries). Even Pinochet, who was right-leaning and whom I rather respect was for gun control.
As for linguistics that left seem to like so much - it does not matter how they call it, it does not matter how it's theoretically classified. It may be Gerontocracy or whatever, technically not dictatorship, but they all look like oriental despotism from inside. Linguistics won't ease your suffering if you happen to occur inside of one unless you will be one of the ruling elite class, indeed. only registered users can see external links
1) My "proof" is in a book I haven't read!
2) Shift the onus on to ME to disprove you, and then
3) Hair-splitting over what we call things.
How about I name you liberal, mature democracies that aren't "pro-guns for everyone"? That's surely the flip side of the same coin. In other words: you can have a "free" society without absolute freedom to bear arms.
However, I would point you in the direction of Article 10 of the Mexican Constitution of 1857. A right to bear arms that wasn't changed until 1917, 2 years after the death of dictator Porfiro Diaz.
Secondly, although you may shout "Godwin's Law" at me, the Nazi approach to private gun ownership is more nuanced than you might think. They loosened some of the aspects of gun regulation that existed under The Weimar Republic. The Wikipedia entry below gives a more rounded picture.

I'll pick out one quote for you:
"law professor Mark Nuckols says Nazi gun control hypotheses are part of a "shaky intellectual edifice" underlying "belief in widespread gun ownership as a defense against tyrannical government."
I like my edifices built on something less shaky!
Having said all that: are there despotic regimes (Oriental or Occidental) that don't like the citizenry having access to firarms? Of course. I would still contend, nevertheless, that you have failed to prove that causal link I previously referred to.

By the 1980s, worries about eviction and eradication were beginning to give way to violence associated with the burgeoning drug trade. Changing routes of production and consumption meant that Rio de Janeiro found itself as a transit point for cocaine destined for Europe. Although drugs brought in money, they also accompanied the rise of the small arms trade and of gangs competing for dominance.
Maybe the average Brazilian goes with these laws but th drug gangs don't. Since they operate mostly in the Favelas no one really cares.
But, most South American countries are not gun happy like the USA. We are known as the 'cowboy buckaroos". Venezuela was somewhat americanized because of it's oil. We've been in there since the early 20th century until Perez Gimenez was overthrown. And Cuba, this country's **** and brothel during the 20th century, not to mention helping liberate the island from Spain
Not being mean persay,but using you as a example since you bragged about your "law" enforcement not carrying a gun.
You are likely to have acid thrown on you or a knife put in you as much as I am to get shot. Minimum risk really. I doubt you go into trouble spots and I avoid them as well.
Evil is everywhere,and anything can be a tool used by evil. Ban bricks,ban knives.
Don't you realize the human brain is the most dangerous weapon we have folks?
If it can think it,it can make it happen.
If I don't like someone bad enough , I still don't want to kill them.PLay with them like a cat does a mouse.IF I want to mess with them, I can buy stump rotting chemicals at the hardware store,put it around the foundation of their house and cost them 1000's of dollars ,breaking them money wise. I can poison thier garden soil so they can't grow food. I don't have to shoot the bastard,just make him miserable.Never went that far and don't want to.
"Trouble spots" doesn't quite cut it though - does it, phart?
Remind me of where some of the US mass shootings have been. Those notorious "trouble spots" like schools and cinemas?
If you really believe that an evil person with a brick can do as much damage as an evil person with a semi-automatic assault rifle, I'll leave you to wipe the dribble off your chin and cherish that flawless 2nd amendment.
The routine for the club is taking shape though - "persay" is comedy gold!!
But no,regardless of happens around me,I will not support gun control.Guns are the only option most folks have to level the field and be able to protect themselves.
Plus, didn't I tell you to fuck off?
Oh well - fuck off again, weirdo.
With that logic you would still have the 18th amendment in force, thanks to your wonderful forefathers.
PS. if you ever hear me bleating about how UK Politicians are so much better then elsewhere in the world, my SYD account has been hacked.
One of many interesting takes on the matter:

Sober people are less apt to kill because they have a consceince.
The golden age where organised crime disappeared and nobody ever got shot. Wait a minute …
So reflect upon some of the stuff that happens in OUR COUNTRY. You piss me off when I'm driving, I'm apt to run you off the road or shoot at you. I'm admiring your designer glasses or jacket and I want them, so I rob you at gunpoint or slice you with a box cutter. You are a student and another student talks smack, the teacher doesn't have any control, in fact they need to be careful not to put themselves in harms way.
Drugs are more prevalent and parenting just isn't a priority any longer and guns seem to be really accessible for our fucked up world.
Even on the TV, and in movies, Americans in restaurants etc. when asked what they would like seem more likely to say "Black coffee" rather than "Could I have a black coffee, please?". If two Brits bump into each other they are both likely to say "sorry" no matter who was at fault.
Having said all that - from personal experience individual Americans can be delightfully hospitable, generous and gregarious.
To ignore that the US general populace having "a right to bear arms" does not contribute to the alarming gun death rate seems, to me, to be incredibly naïve.
Most UK towns are a bit "Wild West", to borrow dgraff's phrase, when the pubs and clubs shut at the weekend. If a proportion of those revellers were armed I dread to think what OUR rates would be. Combine being armed with the rates of recreational drug use and poor parenting (both valid points) you have a recipe for … well, what you see in the US. Add to that the levels of inequality the US has, the strange penal system, the materialistic society, the sense of entitlement - I wonder how, as a society, you will ever find a way of bringing those numbers down. Enough to make you weep.
The fact that you have prisons run as private companies. Making a profit out of incarceration seems perverse to me.
How much of your economy relies upon the cheap labour of those incarcerated.
The harsh (in some States) application of the "three strikes" law.
Life without parole has always struck me as a blunt instrument, as well.
It probably goes without saying that I'm also vehemently anti-death penalty.
Again, I've watched more TV and YouTube over the last 9 or 10 weeks and I made a comment the other day regarding CAN'T PAY? WE'LL TAKE IT AWAY and the High Court agents that execute a writ for collection or eviction.
I get the impression that the court system in the UK is confusing. I could Google but I wonder if you know how many court systems you have and what their jurisdiction encompasses?
Magistrate's courts for less serious stuff (traffic offences and the like).
County Court for more serious stuff then I think we progress to Crown Court, High Court, Court of Appeal.
That stuff on the TV where the "Sheriffs" take goods to settle debts is something I have never seen or heard of - EXCEPT on TV!?
Like most systems, it's far from perfect and we have a lot of people incarcerated for crimes that are NOT offences against the person. There's quite a push towards restorative justice in this country, but it's definitely in it's early stages.
There was an episode where a couple were evicted from their home that they allegedly owned 30% of, the other 70% was owned by the Council, which is still a term that is murky to me. The couple was evicted for falling behind on payments and were evicted by agents who appeared to be late 50's early 60's. The agents impressed me by being so polite under such a stressful situation. There were a number of episodes that were about people who failed to pay rent, for various goods and services, cars being repossessed. What I was able to ascertain was that there were court proceedings prior to the High Court and it was the creditor that ramped up the decision rendered and pursued the matter further. This was done at an additional cost to the creditor and effectively sped up the process of collection, eviction, repossession, etc.
What I found rather sad was that cases involving the Council, the Council may have advised the debtors that they had several weeks until bailiffs would come to put them out, but because the creditor didn't want to wait weeks, they paid "x" amount of money, their case was heard probably immediately and provided them immediate resolution.
So you think licensing drivers to drive cars is too much? How about mandatory seat belt use? Why can't we operate a tracked vehicle like a tank through the streets of your town?
Should we allow people to carry Japanese katana's? Maybe allow an Indian swamy to play with live cobras in the sidewalk of a busy Detroit downtown (if I was the snake I'd be petrified. Rough town.
The reason I don't give a gawd damn is you are bold, you are brash and you like to stir shit up here. That's not enough for you, when you're finished here, you take things over to Aussieman187's thread that you hope will encorage lix and/or leopoldij to comment on with the anticipation of them insulting me.
You're on your own, here and is your life really that dull?
But, I'm overstepping my welcome.
Not only do I hate guns, I think they should be outlawed.
Arrivederci, baby.
I recognize that you enjoy taking snippets of posts, some that I make to Aussieman187's thread. This is done in malice in order that lix and leopoldij have an easier opportunity to insult me. So, exactly what is your motive?
Is this with malice? Yes and no. You have a bigger audience and because of your posts about me, many ignore me. My motive is showing what you and your friends are all about. Four years of your put-downs are hard to wash off
I sure didn't know our prison system here in the US was run by private companys? Wow,being the state has prisons in each county just about and state employee's work in them and the state retirement covers them and state provides insurance,doesn't sound like a private company to me.

Note the suicide use of the gun is larger than the "killing" use numbers.
A suicidal person might use a gun because it is a simple point and clic but if it is around,pills ,bridges,run in front a car as my neighbor tried to,and many other ways.Gota do something about the root problem,lack of desire to live!
Ok,HUx, can you kinda see where I got the acid thing from?
I remembered it but oh my god I didn't post a link in the original post to back myself up.And being you are IN EUROPE supposedly, you are alot closer to all that mess than I am.
Sad you can't remember something that was in the news just a few years back.
Why do you continue to go after members that are not insulting or abusive to you? Andthisisme's only downfall was that he didn't share the same views as you. Please stop.

Has your "reliable source" really convinced you of something as stupid as what you suggest? Hey, just my opinion, I would use your points and trash the page of your unreliable "reliable source".
