*belly-crawling slowly into the room*....

I LIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!! No more finals. I'm DONE, dammit!!! I'm so happy!!

Are you really SO surprised, Soy? As self- periling as my post may be, I must say something.

It amazes how the liberal left decide what is "funny", what is "appropriate" and what is "over-the-top". Simply amazing. I don't suppose you or many other of our Canadian brethren saw the GOP response to Obama's recent speech but, it was interesting at how the left tried to discount Gov. Jindal's message. Make fun of his mannerisms and speech. Compare him to the nerd on "30 Rock". Posts on youtube of Jindal alongside that character then wait for the so-called "serious" media to pick up on it.

Conservatives are not afforded the same leeway when it comes to political "humor", of course. Nor can they express "outrage" as the left is entitled to do. This is a ONE WAY street.  Make fun of a conservative because of mannerisms, it is funny. Do the same to a liberal, it is "racist". The self-righteousness of it all is appalling.  Take our friend Rush. He once laughed when a caller to his show quipped that their kids thought Obama looks like "Curious George". Recall that?? (I am almost certain you don't) But I am equally certain most liberals remember the calls for apologies, the demands for the Fairness Doctrine and the screams for advertiser boycotts. Was ol' Rush's caller out of line? Sure. I think so.  But it was not meant as a demeaning attack... It was a child's comment! PLEASE!!

In Jindal's case, the left hammered away at HOW he said something, not WHAT he said. Nice. Would anyone ever do that to say... Jesse Jackson?? HA!!! Of course not! Ridicule is reserved as the exclusive province of the liberal left....apparently. Very funny. HA HA. Seems to me there is a clear double-standard and, from what I see in your post, an incredulous attitude when it comes to how conservatives view humor.  At least that seems to be the standard for political discourse these days.

What Susan mean is an "Jäger" or a "Förster" You can own firearms if you're a member of an shooting club. Or when you are a member in a club of sport gunners. His father was a member, that why he legal own his firearms and all the ammunition.    (Quoting Message by spapad from Wednesday, March 11, 2009 7:13:09 PM)   spapad wrote:   So he was a Yager miester?

I know.... I think that if someone wants to top themselves then fine!, just don't take innocent people with you.... I'd really like to know what goes through these people's heads when they are considering commiting a mass shooting ( that's my inner criminologist speaking)... 
 

In all my years i have never handled a live firearm... The only gun i used was a pellet gun when i was doing firearms training in the cadets. ( I'm a good shot too  )

This was all over the news today. They said that after the shit at school, he drove downtown and killed (or was it wounded) three more in a mall, where he was then killed by the police.

Looks more like a report from a battlefield than anything...
