Do I Look Like a Maternal Copulating Opossum?
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 07:30It seems that particular parts of humanity wish to surrender their place on the top of the food chain and force that decision upon others. Every week there is a new article showing how bad this situation is getting. Lets start off at the beginning and work our way up to the idiocy which indicates how how we are ensuring our own destruction.
Starting off there is the wolf issue that has been created by a bunch of tree huggers that don’t have to live with the problem. The wolf is endangered I hear you cry. Well when you introduce a predator into an area with 0 other predators you end up with a serious problem. Doubly so when that predator is a non-native species. They start decimating herds of animals that aren’t used to the new predator, and nothing kills the new predator. They multiply like rabbits, meaning they need more food to survive, further destroying the local herds of elk and deer.
How bad can it really be though?
An Open Response to Joan Peterson
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 12:16Joan,
One must be very careful when writing a response. If you’re not careful you can come across as two possible things:
- A hypocrite
- Crazy
Your response (link warning) does both of those quite handedly. So I am not sure you will be able to understand any of this or comprehend the logical reasoning, but as one of the men who is responsible for what the CSGV considers the most offensive response I can’t sit back and ignore this. I cannot sit back and ignore it as you spread lies and attack those who are my friends. My comments will remain open as always, and the only thing to be deleted from this thread will be SPAM, personal attacks, and things that wouldn’t be allowed in a decent society.
So first let me apologize since I have no doubt this post is going to go Kevin Baker. So lets get the broad facts out of the way.
The Stupid, It Hurts

Watch this….
Then watch this…
Now I go all JayG on this shit.
Uhh, no dumb ass, what you’re doing is teaching kids is that when you forget something or inadvertently do something you will be severely punished for it. That kid could have just left the knife in his bag, buried, for the rest of the day and not gotten in trouble. What dumb ass planet are you from!? In what !@#$ing world does any of your statement make logical sense.
You acknowledge it was an accident, he brought it to the attention of the instructors, and you punish him to show the school is safe.
News flash dumbass, the people you have to worry about aren’t telling teachers they have weapons. They just carry them and you never find out about them.
Oh by the way, I carried a knife every day through school from about 7th grade on. Guess what dip shit, that knife never stabbed anyone. Just the same my gun just doesn’t magically hop out of its holster and stab people.
Dear fucking god, what the hell is wrong with these people. You know they say those who can, do, and those who can’t teach. Well obviously this guy couldn’t understand logic if it was beating him to death with a hammer. The dumb is most certainly strong with this one.

A Security Theater - Veteran Edition
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 18:55I was sitting across from a Marine tonight and the subject of the TSA came up. He had this to say.
Nothing confused me or pissed me off more when flying home and we switched to a commercial charter flight off of a military transport. They went through and made all of us throw away our lighters. We still had our M16’s and bayonets, but those lighters were mighty dangerous, especially since we could use them to take over the plane.
The saddest thing was, he was dead serious. Flying back they made everyone toss their lighters for “security reasons”.
You Can’t Make This Up
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Sat, 01/07/2012 - 06:00This seems like something out of a joke, but it’s absolutely real.
Now this choir boy had just gotten out of prison and did a bunch of stupid stuff and most definitely should be charged, if he was still alive. Can someone please explain why it’s necessary to spend money and time filing charges against a dead man? What the hell are they going to do, hang the corpse?
Things like this do not inspire me to allow the legal system to regain my confidence. It actually does quite the opposite since they feel it necessary to waste time and money on a dead man. All the while criminalizing everything under the sun. If anyone has a logical reason for this please let me know.
Accountabilibuddyable: Wisconsin 12/09/2011
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Fri, 12/09/2011 - 00:30Remember the cop who thought that holsters were stupid and unnecessary and did an ND into the ground at the mall? If you don't, well you should for no other reason that the chief attempted to claim the officer did nothing wrong.
Well I stumbled across this one today.
Sgt. Michael Edwards was charged Thursday with endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported online court records show Edwards pleaded not guilty.
According to the complaint, Edwards was at a pretzel shop at Southridge Mall in Greendale on Nov. 2 when he reached into his back pocket for his wallet. The complaint said Edwards' gun slid out of his waistband and went off. A woman standing nearby suffered a welt on her leg.
That man is unbelievably lucky that no one was hit or otherwise severely injured. I find this charge fitting considering his negligence in this instance. His department has placed him on administrative duty.
I say leave his ass behind a desk permanently without a weapon. He has shown a lack of care towards the carrying and use of a firearm and he needs to prove he no longer has the mental capacity of a fly and takes carrying such a tool seriously.
This is also a prime time to remind everyone about Rule 5 given the gun slipped out of his waist band and it shot into the ground.
Say it with me now, "Don't try and catch a gun!"

[While I was in school I was amazed at the number of people who completely lacked the ability to survive on their own. I think the funniest thing was when I had to explain what the puncture side of a bottle opener was for.
This is what happens when parents do everything for their kids and never bother to actually teach them how to take care of themselves. -B]
It's That Time Of Year Again
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Wed, 12/07/2011 - 09:00Many people when they need more outlets grab a power strip. They don't really consider what the load is they're running off the strip as a whole. Many will do the worst thing in the world and cascade power strips for more outlets, or plug a very large current item into the power strip. There's a couple things going on that make ignoring these factors a bad idea. The biggest is that this is the result.
The cause:
According to fire investigators, a power strip started the fire, which caused an estimated $250,000 in damage. Multiple computers and a space heater had been plugged into the strip, but what role that played remains uncertain.
I'm going to explain now exactly why cascading power strips, and ignoring load concerns is a bad idea and results in the above.
TSA - Defending Freedom From Terrorisim
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Sun, 12/04/2011 - 15:51Seriously every time I think the TSA couldn't stoop to a new level of stupidity they prove me wrong.
First up is an incident involving an 85 year old grandmother for refusing to receive an unnecessary dose of radiation provided by the local high school drop outs. The results:
An 85-year-old woman said Saturday that she was injured and humiliated when she was strip searched at an airport after she asked to be patted down instead of going through a body scanner, allegations that transportation security officials denied.
Of course as usual the TSA claims that this never happened and that it violates their policies and procedures. There's one problem though, we regularly hear about incidents like this and the TSA always claims it never happened. They only admit they screw up when it's caught on tape. Just because policy says you don't do that, doesn't mean one of your agents demanded it because she wasn't a compliant sheep. The can verify before and after but not during the screening as it wasn't recorded. Why not record it if there's not strip search involved and it's just a pat down?
Then as if the TSA needed to further display their stupidity and show exactly why none of them were able to graduate high school we hear about this incident.
Well, maybe it was a really realistic gun design and they had good cause.
See what happens when you try and justify the idiocy of the TSA, they just show you how much of a bunch of morons they really are. Then the TSA agents babble on as amateur lawyers to intimidate passengers.
"She was like, 'This is a federal offense because it's in the shape of a gun,'" Gibbs said.
So the agents delayed her long enough to ensure this girl missed her flight and for what!? A lesson to her about how she should just be a good little sheep.
The list of problems with the TSA is long and distinguished. Anyone who says the TSA is necessary to prevent the next terrorist attack is lying. The score board currently says otherwise because it's been the people the TSA has been violating that stop the terrorist attacks. The TSA is a security theater and needs to be done away with. Even a congressman that called for their creation thinks they are bloated and need to go.

Next Time, Shoot the Asshat
Submitted by Barron Barnett on Fri, 12/02/2011 - 11:15There is no such thing as winning a lawsuit. At a minimum it costs you time and money even if you're the prevailing party. So when I saw this I though it another prime example of why you do not cower or negotiate.
Obviously the idiot has never heard of duress and it's effects on the nullifying the terms of a contract. What is most interesting though is the following:
The armed individual intimidated the home owners into allowing his entrance and into hiding him. When they escape he sues for breach of contract!? Given the evidence provided by the Tuller Drill at that range lethal force is justified. It is also another lesson in not opening the door for stangers, talk through side glass or a peep hole. At minimum put a safety chain on the door. It may seem paranoid but it is nothing more than safety and preparedness.
Even if someone really wants in your house the safety chain isn't going to stop them. It will buy you time though to create a safe engagement distance.
Some might expect this law suit to go nowhere, but there is no correlation between the law and justice. So I don't hold my breath. Besides even if it's thrown out, I doubt the defendants will ever actually recover their legal bills from the plaintiff.
