I sit at home and wish I were out in my car... On a nice sunny day... On some back-road... With a hot chick in the passenger seat giving me road head.

I haven't seen any official policies from this administration having anything to do with firearms. When I do, then I'll worry about my guns.


I bought mine in the Bush era when they were cheap. Suckas.



*Oh yea, I realize I do like arguing, even when I'm wrong. I guess that can be a hobbie.

You need only look at Obama's website to see where he, Pelosi, and Clinton are going. He wants to redo the AWB and make it permanent. 10 round mags, etc. It's coming, believe it.

BradC 01-23-2009 08:41 AM

Other then cars??

Hiking, fishing, anything outside.

Guns.

Reading, history, etc.

Video games, music.

Good beer, good wine, good food, cooking.

If you can't have more than 10 rounds in a mag, thats Un-American. The founders of this country would roll over in their grave... then again when they wrote the constitution I am pretty sure they were using muskets... how many rounds did that hold?

Those muskets held one round, just like the firearms that the army's had.....

Remember, the second amendment was put in place to prevent the government from having too much power over the people. It was a way to keep our leadership in check. That is why it so dangerous to disarm the populace. Worked great for Hitler though.... I know this probably sounds crazy but we can't afford to ignore those things that are happening around us. Don't be a sheep.

Hitler is thrown around so much in arguments it really doesn't have any impact anymore.


While I agree with the idea that the government should be a servant to it's people, and the citizens should have arms to defend themselves from the abuses of their government. Sadly I think our government has gone beyond the point that we the people can post up a valid resistance.

The reason Hitler is brought up so much is there are a number of striking similarities.

- Hitler's rise to power was due to the general displeasure of the ruling government.
- The economy in Germany was in horrible shape and Hitler promised change.
- Hitler was for the little people, ie the VW Bug, the peoples car. Share the wealth.
- Hitler banned guns, wonder why?

If you somehow think that even during the war that people would have risen up(with their guns) against the fuhrer, you have no clue about what happened.

Perhaps on a very small scale some groups may have risen against Hitler, but the country was unilaterally united in nationalism.

Your argument has no place here.

Anyways, I don't know what you gits are getting upset about; Congress and Obama only have so much power. With the judges currently chairing, you should be okay.

These same striking similarities that apply to Obama also apply to Jesus and Ghandi.

That may be true but it takes nothing away from the original point.

But I digress, Heller was a wonderful thing but it doesn't stop Obama, Biden, and Pelosi from "defining" limitations. It's all very incremental. Such small steps that no one notices until it's too late.

Nationalism is also peaking here of late. Everyone follow the messiah for change..... National ID cards, warrantless wiretaps, cameras on street poles, show us your papers commoner! But hey, I'm just some middle-aged ex military guy, what do I know.

Funny I thought it peaked around 2002-3 when everyone was putting flag stickers on their cars right next to the W stickers.

I agree, "National ID cards, warrantless wiretaps, cameras on street poles, show us your papers commoner!" are all bad things, hardly an invention of Obama or even Pelosi (you really give her that much credit?). I don't think you can hardly blame Obama for any of thoes at this point, give him at least a month in office LOL. I'd suggest the enemy you hate is the same as the friend you love. Our government industrial complex is fucking us from both isles. To blame one side while blinding yourself with the flag to the actions of the side you associate with is playing into the trap of the two party system.

Alright, who says you guys are just a bunch of grease monkeys! :)

You are right, (no pun intended) we are getting fucked from both sides. The republican party that used to stand for small government is no more. The left used to be worried about civil liberties but is no longer. I'm a libertarian myself. Do what you want as long as your rights don't infringe upon mine it's all good. Live and let live. You are right, I am over-simplifying by pointing the finger at Obama but he does stand for many things that I believe are horribly wrong. Gun control worked so well in Chicago (seen their murder rates lately?). He did great with public education as well. Ill has one of the highest dropout rates in the country. He's consistently voted left on every issue that has been brought before him including gun control. He likes affirmative action and in general has done everything he can to enable the "entitlement mentality" of the poor. Socialism doesn't work, gun control doesn't work (look at Canada, UK, England, all gun control failures). I lived in Delaware so I'm unfortunately familiar with Bidens track record. Just keep your eyes open folks.

Kotomile, if that question was addressed at me, the company I work for is based out of the UAE, and I fly there about 6 times a year. Though i have spend more then 4 years in the middle east, i have not been able to acquire the local tong.

kotomile 01-24-2009 10:50 PM

You or Nicasus. I want to visit UAE, either abu DHabi or Dubai would be a fantastic trip. It would be a good opportunity for immersion in the language (Gulf arabs' dialect is closest to what I'm learning) plus the car culture there is insane.

nicacus 01-25-2009 09:45 AM

I'm not really there.. I've never been further east than the border of utah and colorado.

My other hobby is road racing motorcycles. It is like an addiction. I know it could kill me, but DAMN it is so INTENSELY fun. One of these days I will have to give it up and honestly I have no idea what I will replace it with. Maybe karts.

I definitely inherited the thrill seeker gene from my father. He raced karts in his younger years, and bought a Pantera for his DD even though we could not afford it. One time he took me for a drive. I was so young I barely remember it. I kept asking him to go faster and faster on some twisty roads until I hurled in the passenger seat. In retrospect he thought it was funny.

Saw this thread hasn't been opened in a long time. Thought I'd bring it back and share. Aside from drifting, working on the car, and messing with my buddies cars, I play guitar and sometimes play in bands when I have time. I also love to go up the top of the mountain and hike. I'm also an avid music collector. I truely have a love of pretty much all music. My last hobby would have to be photography. I have a nice DSLR camera that I have a few different lenses to take either beautiful close pictures, sweet action shots, or nice night shots.

adamhershner 10-07-2010 10:10 AM

Here lately;
1. Studying
2. Xbox
3. Beer.
4. Random drives through the countryside
5. Photography
Probably about it, I keep saying I'm getting back in the gym but I'm not allowed in the cpa since I cussed out a (read) really bad ref at a flag football game and I don't have money for a membership elsewhere .

1. Used to overclock computers for a while. Held 2 world records actually...
2. Call of Duty 4
3. Used to hack networks as a hobby - now I do it for living.
4. Porn is by far my favorite hobby.

Thought to myself, "hey I know those sites!". Thought about admitting it then remembered I don't care what anyone thinks about what I enjoy. And who doesn't like porn!

rider384 10-07-2010 06:24 PM

1. Fixing car
2. Blowing up car
3. Swearing at car when it blows up

It's a vicious cycle.

Serially though:
1. All things computers. Built all mine, have fun dicking about in programming.
2. Electronics. If money permitted I would love to build a full custom RC car. I seriously have fantasies about this.
3. Electronics again... Old ones. Record players, I have an Apple IIe sitting around.
4. Engines that aren't my Miata... Two strokes, chainsaws, that sort of thing.

Many, many small ones that I do to keep myself distracted.

redrider706 10-15-2010 10:17 PM

The car addiction is draining me financially. Can't afford to pursue other hobbies like electronics, computers, photography, motorcycles.
