    Gun control

    Let me clarify, then. The people who drive the NRA and its legislative agenda, the ones who own far more guns and ammo than they need to in order to fulfill a legitimate self defense need and shriek constantly about the gubmint coming for their guns and freedom, are pussies. If you own, say...

    Anybody have a good source for lead-less backing tracks to play along with? I prefer blues stuff, but anything blues/rock/country/whatever would be fine. Just not metal, since I don't have much desire to shred.

    Gun control

    Actually, gun owners are the most cowardly pussies on the planet, in general. They're so afraid of some nebulous (usually black) boogeyman that the only thing that makes them feel safe is stroking their assault rifle as if it were their penis back in the days when it still worked.

    Claims to have 50+ examples. Comes up with two links referring to the same study, that he has already linked in this thread. Also, from your own goddamn link, the first one: "In fact, they go out of their way to stress that their study neither proves that gun control causes higher murder...

    Again, that's about the NRA selling propaganda to stupid people. Any slight restriction gets turned into DEM LIBRULS IZ COMIN' FOR YER GUNS and boom, more gun sales!

    We already can't hire and retain enough good teachers, and now you want to make that even tougher by painting a giant target on their chests, for the minimal chance that they might be able to take down a guy who might be wearing body armor and/or carrying long guns with tons of ammo? It's one...

    Those are certainly issues, and major ones. However, you'll find very few people that say, for instance, that poverty is a good thing that we shouldn't try to work on eradicating. Guns are so heavily embedded into our culture, and the NRA does such an effective job of propagandizing the...

    Uh huh. Why don't you look up how much money Midway USA gives to the NRA, through a variety of methods, to ensure that the NRA continues to be against even the most reasonable magazine size restrictions, since large capacity magazines and the ammo to fill them compose a huge amount of their...

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    Oh, well, that's retarded. Umpires do pretty well on those calls overall anyway. Strike zone consistency is the best opportunity to leverage technology to improve the game, and the technology is already 95% of the way there.

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    The only real payroll problem that baseball has right now is the Marlins, and that's because Jeffrey Loria is a giant scumbag that games the revenue sharing system. Eventually they'll figure out how to get rid of him and it'll be fine. Teams are locking up young players at an unprecedented...

    Gun control

    Not nearly as much as the NRA, which is squarely in the pockets of the gun manufacturing industry. I can't even have a rational conversation and discuss reasonable measures that might help limit potential harm, because the NRA has framed the conversation into a strict "you're with us or...

    Yeah, the last couple of pages went pretty much as I expected. There is a reasonable middle on this issue, but that doesn't fit the pro-gunner narrative. EVERYONE who isn't squarely on their side is a gun-grabbing Communist.

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    Selig by a long shot. He turned a blind eye to steroids when they were helping him win fans back after the strike debacle, then tried to convince everyone he is worried about the purity of the game.

    Gun control

    I'm for reasonable ownership for home defense, hunting, and hobbyists. I'm against people who fetishize guns or think they need home arsenals to defend themselves against the gubmint and/or because freedom. Those people are potential dangers to everyone around them, me included.

    Don't mind tad, he's just an idiot. The actual quote is "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." It's widely debated what Benjamin Franklin actually meant by the quote, but it pops up in various forms all the time among...

    Yeah, that's pretty endemic with any F2P games. It's why I'm distressed to see the industry heading in that direction. Turbine was like that with shit in LOTRO, refusing to refund even things that were bugged and didn't work as advertised.

    Alright, so someone more experienced than me should probably chime in, since you've actually been playing longer than I have. But I've been collecting information pretty extensively lately, so here is what I would suggest. Get a Fender Blues Junior. It's about $500 most places, and while I...

    Do you have a shop anywhere near you where you can go and play some stuff? Gilmour's got great tone no doubt, but it's not going to be an easy thing to get. How long have you been playing? What kind of guitar do you have? Also, what's your budget?

    They can price it however they want, but what they're doing is pretending that the pricing was determined by the Kickstarter and that it's somehow out of their hands. It's lame.

    Gun control

    That's not the point they're arguing though. The point they're arguing is that unless you own guns, you don't understand guns and thus you shouldn't have a voice in gun control legislation. Funnily enough, people who own guns also tend to want less restrictions on their ownership! It's a...
