    Not all Law Enforcement Officers are bad [Youtube Video]

    I figure that with all of the bad LEO videos going around, we could use some examples of good upstanding LEO's. Here is a video of a police officer stopping and talking to a citizen filming him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iryk9xVIkfE&feature=g-vrec He explains how his laser detector...

    Finally obtained my CHL

    The great state of Texas finally granted me the right to legally conceal-carry a firearm. I'd take a picture of my license and post it, but the entire thing would be blotted out with all of the personal information on it. I can however provide a pic of my shooting qualification. For those...

    PSA: There are legitimate uses for firearms that do not involve uses against people

    I am tired of all of the gun-bashing threads and posts that show that a gun's primary purpose is to use against people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy#Tools http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote#Livestock_and_pet_predation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_lion#Livestock_predation...

    Am I the only one concerned when FuzzyBabyBunny hasn't post here in a while?

    For some reason, I always assume the worst when I don't hear from him in a while. He was very detailed on his experiences just after buying it, but now we haven't heard anything since after his mishap with his bag falling off of the bike on the highway. FBB, I want you to enjoy riding as much...

    Our Motorcycle Ride - Sept. 11, 2010

    Hey guys, Just wanted to share our ride that we went on. Has to be by far the longest ride I've been on (about 8 hrs total). It was a blast, but probably would have been better with more frequent breaks, and if it weren't 95 degrees outside. Here is the route we took...

    Is Verizon's network down for anyone else?

    Am I the only one experiencing an outage? My phone has no service and Verizon's website is missing a lot of my account information. Anyone else experiencing the same? Edit: I forgot to mention I'm in the Austin/Round Rock Texas area.

    Tonsillitis *edit* it's strep throat

    From the little research I've done (WebMD), I think I might have Tonsillitis. Towards the end of last week, I had a fever of ~102. I'm a 24 year old male, so I didn't think anything serious. It was accompanied by a mild sore throat, runny nose, and headache. Well, I'm done with the fever...

    Dungeon Runners - Free MMOish game

    http://www.dungeonrunners.com Made by NCSoft, the guys that did Guild Wars. I think it's a cross between Guild Wars and Diablo II. You have general "towns" where you can meet and talk with other people. Then you have instanced combat zones where it's just you and your group. It's fairly...

    Verizon Wireless Math

    Did a search before creating this topic. It's quite a hilarious story. The guy is on the phone with Verizon for more than 20 minutes, talking to at least 6 people who all think that $.002 = .002¢ It's very interesting. Here is the Youtube link with his initial contact with Verizon...

    Why isn't Link left-handed in Twilight Princess?

    Anyone notice this? I was at EB the other day playing Zelda and I noticed that Link was right-handed in this installment. Why did they make the change? So it would feel better with the Wiimote and Nunchuk? And if you haven't noticed link being left-handed, fire up some of the old Zelda's...

    Flurl video hosting

    There was a locked post earlier linking a video that was hosted on Flurl. The video was pretty horrendous to say the least. Well, I started browsing a few videos and I'm thinking to myself, "I can't believe this sort of stuff is on there." Has anyone heard of this site? Definitely a lot of...

    Do you feel that civilians always need to be armed?

    Inspired by the thread on is a .22 enough for self defense (found here). Do you feel civilians need to have a leathal weapon on their person? I argue that it would escalate the situation in the case of an assailant. If he wants your money/wallet/whatever, is it really worth your life? If...

    Everquest II or WoW?

    Ok, I'm deciding between playing Everquest II or WoW. I've played a little bit of both. Nothing too in-depth though. I played and EQ2 character to lvl 20 and a WoW character to lvl 10. Coming from playing EQ1 for 4+ years, the best thing I like about both games is that you don't have to...

    Has anyone read "Natural Cures they don't want you to know about" by Kevin Trudeau?

    The other day I was watching TV and the commercial came on for the 100th time about his book and how he is the "underdog," revealing that drug companies are "out to get us." Has anyone read this book to see if it's actually legit? I'm just curious because I see the commercials all the time.
