when it's 48 degrees outside, your house is likely to be around 65 or 70.

Try ~50. Living 'mongst the pines in a 75 year old house. No sunlight to warm the house during the day.

It's always easy to tell when someone's never even been camping.

I've section hiked nearly 400mi of the Appalachian Trail and I've completed the Palmetto Trail in sections. The coldest I've ever camped was near Mount Rogers near the Grayson Highlands in January. I think it got down to the minus 20's.

I slept in a hammock, comfortably.

Total pack weight, minus water is 5lbs or so. It bumps up to around 8lbs in the winter for weekend trips.

Now try living outside in the same temp.

Living in it would be cake. I'd hardly call 48F extreme...and I live on the coast of SC.

50 degrees f below your body temperature is extreme.

average human body temp.

98.6F

minus 50F.

48.6F (I used vernon's calculator)

I don't even turn the fucking heater on for that. That's extreme?

Yet another reason to require all cc permit holders to pass rigorous testing before ever being allowed to carry.

If you think dependency is moral failure.

lol.

protestant work ethic.

Considering the final report was a mere 5 months after Walker the program must have fallen under Democrat Governor Jim Doyle.

For the sake of consistency, the moment he won the election...before he was even sworn into office, Walker was responsible for every program the government of Wisconsin was running.

You know. Like Obama.

who?

No. That's paranoia from the gun lobby.

I think we long ago established on a thread concerning magazine capacity and Jared Loughner that you're incapable of carrying on any kind of discussion about guns because you're only qualified to sit inside and write books on programming.

I was mocking those who have opinions about firearms but have no idea what they are talking about.

Doesn't read like that, but Okay. My apologies.

This link is by a guy from the National Rifle Association. It's his job to scare people that the government is coming to take their guns.

Officer Leroy Pyle isn't from the NRA.

@JPW -- I got so excited about calling Vernon a dipshit, I forgot to post it. I think this is the video you mentioned above.

Sorry Axiom, but nobody will fall for your bullshit.

It's not bullshit. Look at the law, dip shit.

Fast forward to 6:30, watch what happens with the mini14.

perfectly legal semi-automatic rifle to at-one-time-banned assault rifle in two minutes.

I tried selling my yugo sks to someone who lived in california and he wouldn't be allowed to buy it because it still had the grenade launcher which is really only good for launching tennis balls.

I'm pretty sure you just linked to two images of the 10/22 there. One's just all modified to look "intimidating".

If you know the answer, you're not supposed to say anything. Now I can't make a point and make the responder look ridiculous.

But he's right folks...an innocent old Ruger 10/22...America's most popular .22 rifle would be an assault weapon because it has a detachable magazine, a telescoping stock and a pistol grip

Drop the plastic stock, put it back in the factory furniture and even with the 25rnd magazine, it's a perfectly safe rifle...even though nothing about the action of the rifle has changed.

Before we can go any further, we have to establish whether or not any of us has the knowledge to be capable of having this discussion.

Instead, there is discussion about wanting to ban assault weapons

Please pick out the assault weapon from these pictures...

How is the headline supported by the article?

Err...From the article

What could possibly be more fun than rape?

More rape.

Hedley Lamarr: Qualifications?
Applicant: Rape, murder, arson, and rape.
Hedley Lamarr: You said rape twice.
Applicant: I like rape.

When was the weather or climate ever consistent? Just more lib pseudo science.

When was it 75 and sunny in winter in South Carolina?

Oh right...historically speaking...only every day this winter. Prior to that? Cold.

It's so warm now that the Easter Lilly's my grand mother planted when I was a child are blooming. They're not supposed to do that in January...Or February.

I don't remember any Republican saying food stamp recipients are living the life of luxury.

Task Force 88 conducted the raid, most of which is ex or current Seal Team 6 members.

There wasn't a raid. They dropped two 500lb bombs on it and someone went in to clean up to sort through the rubble afterwards.

and see that actual state of affairs.

Do you think she'll show him where she found the headless bodies in the desert?

their = there.
advocated = advocates.

eat a box of dicks, zat.

So Chavez is a capitalist now?

No.

Chavez is most definitely a socialist. But if you'd ever paid attention in history class, you'd remember a period called the industrial revolution when capitalism ran wild and free as Republicans wish it to be.

It wasn't until people began to organize that a middle class developed. Much to the chagrin of people, such as yourself, who wish their to be no unions and no advocated for workers rights. Just fat-cat elites and the people who work for them.

I think we, the upper class could crush the revolt and chase the welfare scum back to their ghettos and trailers quick easily.

You're middle class at best.

And you should be careful about the trailers crack. Many of those salt-of-the-earth types are the ones who vote for republicans as if their life depends on it.

... I almost forgot to mention the armed sentries w/50 Cal Barretts on the perimeter?

Flag: Won't be eating a lot of side-o-beef paying 5+ dollars/shot...

Typical "Fiscally Responsible Conservative". Uses 5 bucks to do what could be done just as efficiently with sixty-five cents.

Those unable to care for themselves (i.e. liberals) will be killed.

Your world-view is twisted. Of the dozen or so people I associate with that live either 90% or 100% off of the grid, only a few would even come close to being considered conservative and, based on your extremist views, you'd consider them liberals.

I voted for paul in the sc primary. media outlets didn't even want to publish his name in the results. friend who are avid gingrich supporters say that he'll tap santorum as his veep.

to that i'll reply that he'll loose more independents than he's loosing right now.

Zat... it's actually a CME. Not a solar flare. Headline fail. I thought you were a scientist.

The guy who uses his peer reviewed swimming pool to gauge global warming?
