I will say this, before my brother landed a full time job and just had a part time job, he played xbox 8-12 hours a day. So much so that at one point he was ranked in the top 50 players on call of duty. If anything he its the most "normal" kid you would ever know. You would have never known if somebody didn't tell you.

I worked all day and I just heard about this on the radio a bit ago. It's a sad deal for sure. I said a prayer for the families and that's all I can do. My concealed carry paper work is being processed.

You can't pin actions like these on anything in particular. It's a shift in society. It's not just violence in the media or a mental health issue. I've reviewed some research and in fact violent crime has been declining in the past few years. I'd rather not be a pessimist, but I'm growing concerned about our future as a nation.

[ellis93]

So the lone ranger wasn't violent? What about bonanza? Sure, not as violent but still had violence.

Man that's comparing apples to oranges to what's being produced today. Now days it seems to have to have blood and guts flowing from every orifice and the killers seem to enjoy it. There were moral lessons taught on those old shows that are nothing like now,hell what show now would ever teach a decent moral that's not on the commie PBS network were Elmo is tring to tickle something. You can't even watch a program with out have somekind of nasty a$$ perversion bein thrown in your face,oh it's ok if you want to dress up like a woman and tape you wanker to your butt,give me a break. TV is a freakin joke......I'll guarantee you this John,as your kid gets older you'll notice more.

Was 3.75 in Des Moines last weekend, at the QT truckstop on 35/80.

My Ma' and Pops taught me that there was (still is!) always a consequence for everything you do and I'll be damned if they weren't absolutely, positively 100% RIGHT!

Cut and dried, just as an astute observer, WHAT these kids do, violent video games, playing "soldier" or learning how to shoot, isn't what causes them to do what they do.

It's all about attention as a child, let your kid run wild and more than likely they'll be criminals, pay attention to them, give them guidance and support and they'll most likely be a good member of society.

A sense of right and wrong also helps immensely, instilling it with corporal punishment certainly can be quite effective, a good assthumping from Pops as a kid sure got my attention an made me fly right.

To-day's children learn from the most corrupt system in the land, PUBLIC EDUCATION, where bad values and bad habits are forced on them at an early age, by both their peers and their educators, yet we wonder WHY they act like they do?

Bingo!!

I'll add another thing- many forget the sanctity of life. I watched plenty of "bloody" movies, but I have NO desire to kill anyone in cold blood! Self-defense only, if needed. Hopefully, a day will never come to have to use deadly force. But, have no qualms about it. A POS like today needing their head turned into a canoe, I've got NO problem with it.

Brian, with your stature, all you have to do is use your boning voice and hold up s vision saw. They will run!

I've walked through a group of tattooed guys and they parted like the Red Sea. I was scruffy, tired and in a pissy mood, with scowl. It worked. Was bigger than a lot of them.

Have no problem punching a cow in the head, twice, hard enough for them to change their mind! Cracked a few bones in my hand, but I didn't get any more chit from that one again. Prod and paddle didn't do anything to convince her, but my fist did. That was after fighting for 1.5hrs trying to load them by myself. Only time it's gone that bad, and I load there alone every week.

I cracked a finger doing the same thing.

Got the 360 in my crew cab started tonight! Fired right up! My 93 lent the battery for it, and the 950CAA battery got that starter zippin' right along! Got most of the crap burnt out now. Smoked out the shop til then.

[Mark Nixon]

That carb on there is J-U-N-K, if I didn't tell you already.
Of course I did! That's why I included the other one.
I may have a home for that 360 when the time comes, BTW.

I remember you saying that. Seems like it may have an accelerator pump issue. Idles good, and if you run the throttle up slow, it runs smooth. Just doesn't like getting goosed.

For me, it wouldn't idle for crap, flooded, burned my eyes, a real POS.
I had been driving it for a couple days when it started doing it, parked it for a week, and it was clean, then started dumping again.
It's a POS and needs rebuilt or used for target practice.

We'll see if I can swap it out for the other one and get the vac lines hooked up properly. The extra one has a "reman" sticker on it.

A guy goes in an Adult Store and asks for an inflatable love doll. Guy behind the counter says, 'Male or female?'

Customer says, 'Female.'

Counter guy asks, 'Black or white?' Customer says, 'White.'

Counter guy asks, 'Christian or Muslim?'

Customer says, 'What the hell does religion have to do with it?'

Counter guy says, 'The Muslim one blows itself up.
