Well morfy, I don't know NJL personally, but my impression of him is that he is a good guy, and not anyone I would mess with. He has issued no threats, unlike you.

I hope your short stay at talkbass was enjoyable. I wish you luck in your rock star aspirations. Unfortunately, you won't be a member here to tell us about your fabulous successes.

Well, it seems to me like its not all in good fun anymore is it now ;)

It's taken me a while to realise that this was perhaps the wisest post in the whole thread. Still, wouldn't have missed it for the world, guys. Catch y'all later.

Sorry, my mistake.

Yeah, it's true different types of ammunition can penetrate varying levels of bullet resistant vests. But knives will usually go through most vests except for ones with trauma plates inserted.

Soft vests will typically stop .22LR, shotgun and handgun rounds (depends on the specific vest obviously). You're right, without some sort of metal/ceramic/polyethylene plate they won't stop a knife.

Vince S.,

C'mon, you know that you can buy a full auto M16 under the NFA as long as you pay your $200 fed tax stamp and the greatly inflated price due to the fact they're not allowed to release any more to civilians...

Oops, forgot about that. Thanks Diggler.

On a side note, my local PD purchased some M4A1s earlier this year. Hopefully we (the explorers or "cadets") might get to try them out at the range when we do our next firearms training course. I know some depts. have allowed their explorers to shoot the autos at the range to see what it's like.
 
Rule #1: Respect
Address all forum members with the utmost respect at all times. If you do not agree with a fellow member, be courteous in your response. Thomas Jefferson said it best: "When I hear another express an opinion which is not mine, I say to myself, he has a right to his opinion, as I to mine".

Because of the limitations of text based communication, the expression of intent can be tricky. One of the most common triggers of rule violations is the misinterpretation of intent behind a post. Use smilies often, and remember, it never hurts to begin a response with "In my opinion"...

If you do not address everyone on the board with respect, be prepared to lose your membership.

Oh yeah, rule 1.
 
Actually I didnt insult a mod, I insulted an ex mod who insulted me first. I did probably break many rules though, insulting members who also insulted me first. I never insulted anyone who did not insult me first though, so if the mods are fair, and seeing as I dont know any of them I have no idea wether they are or not, you bunch will be surely banned with me.
 
eh... nm.... simply: it was insulting to me even reading your post... i feel like i lost braincells... morf, you are not far behind.


man you guys and french jokes brought me back to this thread... why!

I am out again...

Ah young morf, what you fail to realize is, the key is knowing where the line is, and not stepping over it. You jumped over with both feet.
 
Actually the line is drawn when the person you're making jokes at asks you to stop, which I repeatedly did. The line also draws when the person you've been offending apologises to you sincerely and you keep at them like you didnt give a damn. If the mods are fair, you'll be banned with me.

If this rule was enforced, then most of the people who posted in this would be gone.

:hmm:

Can't we all be friends? Please? Can't we just talk about fun things like trampolines and mulled wine? If anyone comes to my house I'll make them white chocolate and macadamia cookies. Even you Kserg, maybe you'll like NZ.

I know the airfares are expensive but hey, cookies!
