Fuck you mate, this is USENET! I'll stay out of it when I feel like

Mr Serious.
what you are a fight club member too?
plenty of fight but no gumption right?
how deep are you willing to go down the
sincerity rabbit hole mate? i doubt you
could make the first hula hoop. but then
again maybe you will surprise us all eh?
Nope I save my arguments for real life seeing as I'm getting on a bit
and need all the energy I can focus.
It's just words here no need to get aggro with me, I haven't even been
here for a month or two. I was just surprised that you and Jerome
fell out - who woulda thunk?
My comment about Usenet was that this is completely unregulated and unmoderated, the original wild wild internet. Invented well before
the WWW. So telling someone to stay out of it ain't gonna have much
traction :)
On that note though, I think I'll just observe. I just can't be fucked getting involved, so you're safe.
One observation though. You don't have ready access to assault
rifles, do you? I'm safe, but others might not be...lol

No, i don't own any guns or rifles. But my daughter is armed

everyday of the year. But i don't worry about gettin' whacked.
I do have the sharpest machete on the block.
Lol. I like knives myself and have quite the collection. I'll post
some pics of some of my better and more unusual ones. In my well
educated view on and of bladed weapons, the US comes a clear first in
the world for knife making, even to the extent of cottage industries
all over your country turning out things similar to Buck and so on.
Germany comes second - nothing like Solingen and so on, and some of
the Bowies coming out of Germany are much, much superior to anywhere
else (I know, I own several big German bowies). Then, surprise, Japan
makes good blades (not just samurai either) and France, and some of
the nordic countries. Russian shit is just that, shit. China? Fuck
no.
But I would take a yankee knife anyday, and I ain't just pissing on ya
back and telling you its raining.

Nice. I know this. In WW2, Australian soldiers (not our militia,
those who were professional soldiers) would rather fight the Japs than
the Germans. The Germans were real pros and fought like fury. We had absolute mutual respect for Rommel.

What we actually have NOW is the most un-level playing field ever.
It has never been more about big money than it is now. And yet if they confirm Kavanaugh, that situation will likely become even more extreme.
