My point is, they figured if they had heaps of guns and lived in a fortress the cops would be too afraid to do anything. All that happened was the cops arrived tooled up to the back teeth, and smashed them. What else should they do? look weak and admit defeat/fear? You won't win by being heavily armed, they'll call in the army if they need to. The army will call in their allies (like our army, and England's etc) if they need to. The only way you'll kind of get away with something, is hiding and shooting civillians. But you'll end up dead, and folks wont see you as a hero at all.
Its all good, but in a way only proves my point... You can have ten AK47's or whatever, they'll turn up in a helicopter gunship if they need to. The likes of David Koresh have found this out the hard way.
I guess if there was a single thing I could say to the general population of America- Dont be at all afraid of reasonably strict gun laws, the sky will not fall. I know plenty of people that have guns of all types legally, and I also know some shady characters always complaining they cant get a gun easily. The ones that can't get them, are certainly the type that's better off without them. Yes, they can still buy fertiliser or BBQ gas refills, and all drive cars, but that first small step prevents a lot of problems.
I think secretly hating women is rare. Plenty are open about it with their statements and actions, but covert hostility is far from common. I think our experimental ranga prime minister a few years back was a good example of a very mediocre person playing the misogynist card every time she made a crap decision.
I quoted you hex, its the post you replied to... As for that ridiculous scenario you describe, the cops will always have more and better guns, and be actually trained how to use them effectively. Me thinks you've been watching too much doomsday preppers...
Hmm, I dunno... gun culture being what it is, the cops are ready to shoot anyone first. Probably partly due to every second person waving a gun around. You can't see a connection? yet you ask why the cops have military gear...
Actually, I'm really happy with myself. As my toilet is outside my house, I installed a solar security light in it. An advantage of this will be that I dont have to touch the excreta-laden lightswitch before I clean my hands with antibacterial handwash.
In the Pacific, it started with American weather people giving them male names. It was changed, so they're named by the country where they originate, and they alternate between male and female names.
Yeah I reckon. Today I'm hitting the Swedish snus, its weird gear. I should have got heaps more, customs didnt specify I couldnt have it, but I've never seen it here.

RE: a 48hr day
Why would I do that? I've got an awesome bed, and not much is happening between about 11pm and 6am anyway.
