An Old-Fashioned Resort Perfect for the Young Set
By JAMES SCHEMBARI
Published: November 10, 2002
ON a last-minute impulse, I decided to take vacation the same week my four children had their winter break from school last year. But what to do with them? My wife, Christine, couldn't get the time off, so I didn't want to do anything too elaborate or expensive. I was looking for a good family destination within easy driving distance of our home in southwestern Connecticut.
''That's easy,'' Christine said. ''Take them to Eastover.''
Of course. Eastover is a year-round resort in Lenox, Mass., in the Berkshires about 10 minutes from the Bousquet Ski Area. Christine had taken the children there without me twice; they always returned home talking about the fun they had, the friends they made and the fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. I had been slightly jealous; now it was my turn.
Christine had described Eastover as a cruise ship without the water. For the three days and two nights I was there in February, it was also a winter resort without the snow. Not only did temperatures hover around 50, but it rained, which created a lot of mud and a reliance on the resort to entertain us. Frankly, I was nervous.
Eastover, on the former summer estate of Harris Fahnestock, a New York stockbroker, consists of a Georgian mansion built in 1910 and several motel-like guest houses on about 1,000 acres. The resort is run by the family of George Bisacca, a Connecticut man who bought the property in 1946, several years after Mr. Fahnestock's death.
There are 130 rooms, with 20 of them on the second and third floors of the mansion, which is the heart of the resort. Most of the indoor activities are held there and in a separate annex attached to the main house. That building, which also contains the good-size indoor pool, is like one big recreation room, with a big-screen TV, pool table and the wood paneling popular in the 1960's. This is where the kids play the hardest, and loudest.
The mansion is also where the meals are served, in a sprawling dining room that used to be an open terrace overlooking the grounds. Just off the dining room is the library, where the only other TV is situated and where the nightly children's movie is shown.
Activities include hiking, biking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing. (There is also a toboggan run, although it was closed because of the warm weather.) The resort doesn't offer downhill skiing, but this year guests can ski free at Bousquet; Eastover will even provide a bag lunch. All meals and most activities are included in the rates. (You must bring your own alcoholic beverages, though.)
We were there during what is billed as a family week, but there are also weekends for couples and singles. We were also there during the week, so the resort wasn't very crowded.
Ticki Winsor, the daughter of Mr. Bisacca, who died in 1983, runs the place with her daughter, Betsy Kelly. When I asked Betsy if she was the next generation, she patted her son, Keegan, 7, on the head and said, ''No, he's the next generation.''
We were in two adjoining rooms in the mansion. Our au pair from Mexico, Adriana, had opted to come along, instead of staying home and getting a break from the kids, and she shared a room with my daughter, Marian, who was 14. I bunked with my sons Tonio, 11, Sam, 10, and Joe, 7, in the other room.
Our rooms were large and comfortable, with five twin beds and a double. They were simply furnished -- no antiques here -- with a sofa in the girls' room and dressers in both. (Although the rooms in the motel-style buildings looked comfortable, they were not nearly as spacious.) The bathroom was old, but huge, with two showers and a sink big enough to bathe a baby.
But our bathroom door wouldn't latch shut. A hook and eye had been installed to keep the door from swinging open, and I could see where the hook had been repeatedly drilled into the door after guests had inadvertently ripped it out. It made me wonder why the resort didn't just fix the door instead. It was probably on somebody's to-do list, just like all the projects we put off at home.
And that about sums up the Eastover experience. The place looks worn and in need of some touching up, but it is clean and inviting. In many ways it is just like home, and while that can be disappointing at times, it is also Eastover's charm. I arrived expecting a Resort, but instead got a resort, circa 1965. It is a simple place full of old-fashioned activities: bingo, volleyball, tennis, archery, golf, shuffleboard, and group dancing that seems to rely a lot on the limbo. It seems fitting that the Norman Rockwell Museum is nearby.
The staff is friendly and eager to please. They also seem to be as laid back as the guests, if not more so. A soda that was spilled in the hallway leading to the pool wasn't cleaned up until the next day. What looked like the same empty ketchup bottle kept being placed on our table despite our request for a full one (we solved the problem ourselves by pilfering a bottle from an empty table). A board game available for the children didn't have all the pieces. If the fire in the library started to go out, you put a new log on yourself.
As Ticki told me during a morning tour of the grounds for the guests, ''This isn't the Four Seasons.''

Sharp Netwalker Z1: Mini-Netbook with Ubuntu
With the PC-Z1 Netwalker Sharp presents a first mini-netbook based on ARM chips. The device runs with a 5" touchscreen and comes pre-installed with Ubuntu 9.04.
The PC-Z1, which follows in the footstep of the Sharp Zaurus, runs over a WLAN module to communicate with the outside world, while a 3G modem can be added via USB. The Netwalker measures about 16 x 11 x 2.5 cm and weighs 400 grams.
In the inside is an i.MX515 processor from Freescale running at 800 MHz. Apart from a 512-MByte main memory the Netwalker provides 4 GBytes of Flash memory, with Ubuntu using about half of it. The small 5" screen has the typical netbook resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, while the keyboard is tiny by most standards. Battery life is 10 hours, according to Sharp. So far Sharp has featured the Z1 on their Japanese website only.

Kid Galahad Feels Ready For Carl Frampton, Scott Quigg
London - Kid Galahad believes he is now "ready for anyone" after making it a knockout return to the ring.
The WBC International super-bantamweight champion showcased his speed, timing and punch power to give Isaac Nettey the first stoppage defeat of his now 31-fight career.
"I'm ready for anyone - if Scott Quigg wants to fight we'll get it on, if Carl Frampton wants to fight, we'll get it on," Galahad said.
Kid Galahad, 23, fought tough Ghanaian Nettey, who took Rendall Munroe the distance for the vacant Commonwealth super-bantamweight title in 2009, on the James DeGale undercard Saturday night, at Glow, Bluewater, on Channel 5 in the UK and Wealth TV in the US.
From the first round Galahad showcased his superior movement and speed to measure shots and pick off Nettey at will.
Utilising his speed and punching accuracy, Kid Galahad was connecting with solid shots, switching between head and body.
A crunching left uppercut in the third wobbled Nettey and was swiftly followed by a combination of lefts and rights.
Galahad's punching accuracy was paying dividends, making Nettey miss and catching him with counters.
Nettey came out for the fourth throwing flurries of punches in an attempt to get back into the fight, but again Kid Galahad utilised his speed and movement to land a powerful straight right that visibly buckled the durable African fighter.
A solid left sent Nettey off-balance across the ring as Kid Galahad again showed his class.
By the fifth Galahad was punishing Nettey with his accuracy, measuring him with the jab before delivering a solid left and right combination to the head and body, sending Nettey down for the first time in the fight for an eight-count.
Kid Galahad then moved in for the finish, forcing Nettey back into a corner, landing solid body shots before referee Mark Green stepped in to stop the contest 2 minutes 35 seconds into the fifth round.
"I wanted to box and take my time, make it look flawless," Galahad said.
"I haven't boxed since December - so I just wanted to take my time and just show my fans a bit of class.
"I wanted to get some rounds in and he got a bit cheeky, so I thought, 'I need to get him out of here.'
"I put a bit more pressure on him and gave him a bit more."
The win maintains Galahad's perfect record, moving to 14 wins from 14 fights, with seven knockouts.
On the Hennessy Sports show there were also impressive wins for young heavyweight star Hughie Fury, who demolished Czech fighter Ladislav Kovarik in one round, while top of the bill James DeGale MBE defended his WBC Silver super-middleweight title against Stjepan Bozic.
Chris Eubank Jr also passed his toughest test, breaking down the tricky Tyan Booth for an eighth-round stoppage win in his 10th professional contest.
I welcome Galahad to the mix, I don't think he's as good as Quigg & Frampton are however, at only 23, plenty of time to improve. His record is starting to shape up for a 14-fight veteran, would definitely benefit…Comment by Bodyshot3 on 06-13-2013

"Hello my name is Kid Galahad and im some stupid british type of kid!"Comment by Gypsy John Fury on 06-12-2013
Channel 5's coverage of this fight was woeful. They basically told the audience that Galahad had won by KO before the fight was aired; literally said 3 or 4 times that the opponent "has never been stopped in 30 fights"...which…Comment by toshmurph on 06-12-2013

A week later after I had calmed down from round one of this place, I decided to place an order for the kids quad. I chose to do it over the phone because I didn't want any confusion in my order. I told them the model I wanted and that it had to be yellow and be here before christmas, and if it wasn't going to be yellow I didn't want it period. He said it was no problem. I placed the order on Nov. 20th the ATV showed up Dec. 15. It was the wrong color!!!!
After i placed the order I had read on the websites fineprint (it is the longest disclaimer I have ever read) that wrong color was not an acceptable reason to refuse the shipment. I was in a situation...so I looked the shipping box over for obvious damage, I didn't see the cardboard torn up or anything so I accepted it and just sucked it up. As I unpack the unit there were large scratches on the atv that had been covered up with some kind of white paint. the color of the body panels that were face up were dirty and badly faded like it had been stored outside, the headlight bulb was ripped out of the headlight and the mount was broken. The front bumper guard had all of the paint rubbed of on the box side. Ok, now I'm pissed!
I call and talked to a sales man he told me if I tried filling a claim online they MIGHT be able to help. I said I wanted to speak with someone now because this was not the color I ordered and it's broken. They transfer me to their shipping person Delilah (she's a piece of work!)and I calmy explained to her my situation and asked what we can do about it. She asks "did you sign for it?" I said yes. she then tells me there is nothing we can do for you. I said wait a minute you sent me the wrong motorcyle, and it's damaged! She said that because I sign for it it was mine period. If i would not have sign for it she would have helped me. I knew this was B.S. because I read on the website that I couldn't refuse the order based on wrong color (which was the only thing I could tell was wrong when it was boxed up). I told her it says right on your website that I can't refuse this order based on wrong color and that if i would have, i would have had to pay $ 275.00 return shipping! she said can you hold, and puts me on hold for like 5 minutes. she gets back on and continues with the there nothing we can do for you bit again.
I then told her about all the damage to the ATV that I couldn't see until it was unpacked. Then this B*itch has the nerve to say to me "How do we know you did damage it!?" she continues and tells me it"s my responsibilty to completely inspect the shipment BLAH BLAH BLAH. How am i supposed to check the whole unit over when it's wrapped bolted and all wired onto a crate! At this point Im boiling! "I am the customer here!" I said and you are going to accuse me of damaging this? I want to talk to a manager RIGHT NOW! She tells me there is no manager that I can talk to about this.
Needless to say this arument went on until I was so mad I litterally smashed my phone. This company has an unsatifactory rating with the BBB for a reason DO NOT lets these people do this to you!

The numbers speak for themselves.
With the 37-year-old talisman playing, AS Roma won their first seven league games of the season, scoring 20 goals at an average of nearly three a game. Since his thigh injury, their last six matches have produced three wins, three draws and only six goals.
One club-man Totti, who limped off in the first half of the 2-0 win over Napoli on Oct. 18, is in a remarkable 22nd season at Roma and shows no signs of letting up.
Playing just behind the forwards, his ability to find space, produce a defence-splitting pass or rifle in a long-distance goal from out of the blue means he is still hugely influential on the team.
"Roma are a very strong team and the captain clearly makes the difference, finding answers which no tactical system or model can give you," wrote columnist Alessandro Vocalelli in La Reppublica.
"Totti is a man who inspires, invents and concludes. The music is different when he is around because Totti is Roma's soundtrack."
Described by Garcia as "a humble guy like all the great players", Totti, who scored three goals and produced eight assists before the Napoli game, is not expected to return for at least another two weeks.
In the meantime, Garcia will have to hope that Gervinho and Miralem Pjanic can provide some inspiration in Totti's absence.
The Frenchman had apparently adapted well to Serie A but this week admitted he was taken aback by the media attention in Italy,
"After the match, it takes me an hour to get to the media conference with the written press," Garcia told the French newspaper La Voix du Nord in an interview.
"I have to answer questions from four television stations, in an exact order, and one radio. What took me 15 minutes to do at Lille takes me one hour here."
Garcia has closed off training sessions, banning even the club's own television channel from filming, in an attempt to relieve the pressure.
"I had to pull down the blinds," he said. "There were old, bad habits, but everyone has adapted quickly. It was indispensable so that we could work and I could protect the group."
Roma have drawn their last three games against modest opponents Torino, Sassuolo and Cagliari and face more midtable opposition on Sunday when they travel to Atalanta.
Monday's goalless draw at home to Cagliari meant they were knocked off the top of the table for the first time this season and replaced by defending champions Juventus who are one point ahead.
Juventus, who have won their last five games without conceding a goal since their 4-2 defeat to Fiorentina, host Udinese on Sunday.
"Our results have improved over the last month and a half, but I don't think the performances were that different," said coach Antonio Conte. "When you get the slap in the face we did against Fiorentina, it dented our pride.
"As I always say, I trust this team because I have great men even more than great players, so they know when something is wrong and are critical of their own performances."
AC Milan, who moved out of crisis mode with a 3-0 Champions League win at Celtic on Tuesday, can put their troubles further behind them by winning at bottom club Catania on Sunday.

Hey up Davey lad, always a pleasure to read your posts on this board. I think we are all guilty of viewing our team through rose tinted bifocals. One of the great beauties of this fine game is the abundance of meaningless stats and past glories to further cloud the argument...ah the mists of time....so......back to your post, which I believe further illustrates my point, littered with the following expressions ;"HAVE spent many seasons""there WERE 5 great years""we WERE not only a top 4 side ""PLAYING football to be proud of""HAVE played more seasons in Europe"all very good and valid points, but……..past tense dear boy, past tense.Blind optimism can be both commendable and laughable....come on...when you come to the Boro board you are talking to bleedin experts in the field of Stevie Wonder says the glass is half full...ism...errr where was I...o yes, the past....and you are only as good as your last game ahem....(8-1 I believe!! hee hee)So....my point is the future... 2012 to be exact...the date set by FIFA regarding the number of foreign players in one team...to be reduced to 5 max. What every club will be crying out for will be decent home grown players who are good enough to play at international level...now just as an example...say a certain team has just had 4 youth players on duty for the under 21's ...that could be viewed as a good building block for the future.....a team with a good youth academy...in fact one of the best in the country...another nod to the future.Anyway you lads have nothing to worry about...what with the local lads you lot are .....O Dear...KK cut your youth team on his last visit to Newcastle …..DOH!Yes hope is a funny word...I suggest you started hoping & praying cos the times are changing, and no hopers may suddenly may be the future……and in my rosy bifocals the future looks bright......the future is BORO.Long runs the fox.

Getcha Program!
Inside and outside ballparks and arenas, there are always people vending programs. Most of the computing we do is the result of other folks' programs and of programs we tweak or rewrite. That's fairly obvious.
However, as I've written before, writing good, useful programs that aren't excessively verbose and flabby isn't easy. Despite a number of really splendid books (Fred Brooks', Knuth's three volumes, Kernighan and Plauger, Kernighan and Pike, Bentley), looking at code shows a lot of untidy, repetitious slovenly work.
I admit to taking old code, snipping a few lines, typing something in, and voil<\#224>--a new driver. Fast and sloppy.
Looking at the 40 million lines of Office 2000, I realize just where the difference between open source and Windows lies—perhaps where the chasm is.
I've pointed out that if you go to the BSD manuals, you can count the number of contributors to the CSRG's (Computer Systems Research Group) efforts over 15 years. It comes to about 600 individuals. In 1998, I heard Bill Gates refer to 2000 programmers in Redmond, WA. There are most likely far more now.
Good programs are written by individuals or small groups. Brian Kernighan told me that AWK was the most difficult thing he'd ever worked on, "because there were three of us."
Take a bunch of bright programmers, assign them to teams, assign a product to each team, and put them to work. The results will be slightly inferior to what the most feeble-minded member of each team would have produced.
I was surprised when I read The Pragmatic Programmer by Hunt and Thomas (Addison-Wesley, 2000). It's a nicely done volume which is intended to take the programmer from a "requirement" to a real "product". I must admit I'd always thought of this kind of thing as somewhat comic, but it may be that Hunt and Thomas have good ideas. The book is certainly worth reading.
With all this in mind, I started thinking about the tools I use every day: shells, sed, awk, grep, sort, pipe, etc.
There are several decent books on shell programming, but none covers even most of the available shells (sh, bash, csh, ksh, tcsh and zsh come to mind, and I know there are many more). Robbins' AWK volume is excellent and there was a book on sed a few years ago, but I know of none on grep (nor egrep, which searches using regular expressions). In fact, I know of nothing on zsh. In these cases, we are actually driven to read the on-line man pages.
Just how we get to tools in everyday use is, I think, instructive. I still use troff, for example.
In 1967, L.P. Deutsch and B.W. Lampson took the TECO (an editor) that was running on the PDP-1 at MIT and implemented it on the SDS 940 as QED (= Quick Editor). Ken Thompson took QED and rewrote it for CTSS (compatible time sharing system) on the IBM 7094. He and Dennis Ritchie wrote a version of it for the GE 635 at Bell Labs. Thompson then took that version to create ed in August 1969.
That allowed for editing, but what about printing? J.E. Saltzer had written runoff for CTSS. Bob Morris moved it to the 635, and called it roff. Ritchie rewrote that as rf for the PDP-7, before there was UNIX (it was an evolutionary dead end). At the same time, the summer of 1969, Doug McIlroy rewrote roff in BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language by Martin Richards, 1966), extending and simplifying it at the same time. It was McIlroy's version that first Joe Ossanna and, after his death, Brian Kernighan turned into the troff we still use.
(By the way, TECO is also the ancestor of Emacs.)
Nearly a decade later, Ted Dolotta created the memorandum (-mm) macros, with a lot of input from John Mashey. Thereafter, Eric Allman wrote the BSD -me macros. I still use them.
No teams. No large groups. Just a lot of good programmers trying to make code into something truly useful. And the open way does that.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

quoteThat's completely baseless and you backed it up with nothing. I proved it wrong on the last page by saying the country wouldn't have existed without firearms. Anyone with a basic knowlege of this country would agree because they know how defensive the indians were of the land, plus how dangerous it was without the constant native attacks, like from the wildlife and other countries. As I clearly stated last page. But you just skipped by it and pretended to know what you were talking about.
quoteThat's a contradiction. So what's the point of anything you said? How can America be a better place if guns weren't introduced but it would be impossible to actually get anything accomplished here? How could it be safer without guns when the entire place, before colonization, was a bunch of savages going around raping and killing each other without any law? How is that safe at all? How would it be safer if white people came, without guns mind you, and be even more defenseless than the people living here for a thousands of years that were still getting killed daily? Please explain that to me, because any way I look at it, you said nothing but were sure that you were right. dafuq
quoteWhere the hell was that? Saying Australia had a rough start? What? Nobody wanted that place. The biggest superpowers of the world weren't fighting for that place. It wasn't nearly as big. Nobody called it "The New World". It wasn't important. There is no comparison to be made. Your "logic" is awful.

Jan 12, 13 at 11:20pm ^re: At it again.
As a matter of fact Australia didnt always have so many gun restrictions. When it was first colonized guns were common for protection an hunting.
But after a mass shooting in the mid 1900s more laws and restrictions were brought in.
most people can live without them in the 21st century.
Using examples of why guns were needed hundreds of years ago doesn't hold up in this day and age.

quote DemonfurbyWell it was fricking hilarious. Well done.
quote DemonfurbyNo, I continued to say how I felt towards guns, and now I've got another question, after the USA united, why did it legalise guns? By this point, surely they were powerful enough people not to need them. And I did say that it is likely america wouldn't have been founded without firearms, however, without them, in modern context, it would be safer. Yes, I did override some of these points, because I considered them redundant because I was trying to get back to a modern context, and how places without legalised gun laws are safer.
quote DemonfurbyI said that prohibiting guns in america is now impossible, however, that doesn't make gun use any more right in modern society. Does anyone actually need a gun now? And why is that now? Savages is a rather...biased term. Personally, I don't believe technologically backwards people should be forced into advancing. Remembering, england/wales/scotland/ireland 2000 years ago had a similar outlook. Continuous fighting/wars until eventually it was united by one culture, england. However, I'm going off-topic here.
quote DemonfurbyThe similar start aka the natives. Nobody wanted here, however, the natives were just as numerous, vengeful, and frustrated. Your logic saying guns are good is awful too, so the feeling is mutual.
quote DemonfurbyYes, I was rather pissed off at the time of sending this message. I've had a rough enough time here let alone needing personal attacks from strangers who don't even know me. I actually didn't mean what I said, apologies, however, you do come across as very offensive and troublemaking. However, I try not to make a judgement on someone based on immediate discussions, so I'll stop there. I've said enough. I've got across my view on guns, and that's it.

quote Ben73It does when you look at the history and add everything together. It's apart of the culture. It's a right, and alot of people find it to be a need.
quoteNo they weren't. We were in a war with England, and another one was coming up in a few decades. Not to mention there were still shit loads of smaller and proxy wars being waged as we continued pushing West. When the Indians were pretty much done, we were coming close to a war with each other, then Mexico, then Spain. And I'm only mentioning the major major ones
But that quote illustrates why you shouldn't be in this thread at all. You're arguing shit you know nothing about.
quoteBUT THERE'S NO POINT IN SAYING THAT. That's like saying "well if that girl didn't have an abusive father and neglectful mother there would be no reason for her to be a prostitute. Look at all these other girls with good parents that didn't turn out to be whores."
quoteyou're basing this argument off your own vague moralities. Congrats, you don't think guns are nice. There are plenty of people who disagree. You aren't making your case, you're just continuing to hammer in the fact that you are anti-gun. Who are you to say there's no place for guns in modern society? In your country, maybe. I don't know, I don't live there. But here, there's an inherent need and desire for them.
quoteWell, England, Spain, France and the Netherlands disagree. And they alpha'd the shit out of the Indians. So right and wrong doesn't matter. It's just natural selection at that point.
quoteSo one minor similarity makes the entire colonization comparable? No it doesn't. Every colonization had an opposing force coming in and trying to take over the land of the natives there. No other place grew like America. No other place had the diversity of America. No other place had the prejudice of America. There's almost nothing similar about the two beginnings.
quoteYou have yet to prove that
quoteThe only reason for that was because you came here acting like you knew stuff about America and didn't. This forum is filled with shit like that. And it comes up mostly with threads like this, where most of those types of people come in and say "well it works for us, *bleep* you guys, we're better, learn to be us". It's frustrating.

I give up. Guns in modern society are just tools used to kill others. They shouldn't be felt as a necessity, and it's easy to prove that countries with stricter gun laws have less deaths by firearms. You can't deny that much.

quote DemonfurbyI was going to ignore this, but I swear you just don't know when to stop. Okay, so what are the modern positives to guns? And don't say security, because the only threat guns are going to keep at bay are animals that people have wrongly treated, and other people weilding weapons (which is somewhat rarer in countries with stricter gun laws, wow, what a surprise!) Police have tasers. Rape victims? How the hell are you going to get a gun out of your bag when the disgusting rapist is doing it? Also, 2 wrongs (raping and shooting) do not make a right, even though the scumbag rapist deserves it. There are also much more ethical ways of killing an animal than shooting it. What I was saying in the first place is that I hope nowhere else legalises guns, because they do nothing but damage, and that if the USA hadn't got these lax laws (despite all reasoning why they have it, and the fact it's honestly too late to change it), there would be a lot less deaths in the USA. I'm arguing against guns, nothing else now. That's something I do know. Any positives they may add to the world are completely counteracted by the life loss they cause.

I am an American. This topic is about firearms in America. Nothing else. Don't bring up politics of other countries, they don't matter regarding this topic. Stop living in your Australian bubble and try a different perspective. This close minded shit is pathetic.
How much more do I have tobring this to your attention? I swear every single thing you say is prefaced with "in other countries not having guns works". No shit. Pay attention
quoteYou're the one who can stop at any time bud. I refuse to let out of touch idiots plaster ignorance here.
quoteOh ok. So a dude living off the grid in the woods has nothing to worry about when a bear gets into his house. Yeah, walking around and not smelling where an animal has marked its territory is really the evil evil person's fault when they get mauled.
quoteSee bold
quoteYep, because a taser is really going to do good twenty feet away from a gunman. Or a group of unarmed idiots terrorizing people. Police need much more than tasers here. It doesn't matter how the police work where you are. This isn't about that.
quoteHolsters. If you can get the person off you for a second and reach for your gun, you're pretty much good.
I'm sure every girl going through the most traumatic experience of her life would agree she should just let it happen, because killing is "wrong".
This isn't an after school special kid. I seriously don't know if you're trolling or not. In the real world, "two wrongs doesn't make a right" means nothing.
quoteOh yeah, that deer is really going to wait for you to get close enough to administer an injection. Ever tried hunting big game? The only way to kill animals like that without dying yourself and actually getting the job done is with firearms. What the *bleep* is the point of that sentence anyway?
quoteOh yeah
quoteHow are you not dead by now? I mean surely you can't last too long if your heart keeps bleeding like that.
What a close minded thing to say fo real
Shit like this is why you should just stop. You're consistently missing the point and only keep needlessly projecting your own petty, hypocritical moralities on this thread without any relevance to the topic or point made by me.
And for one last time. I GET IT. NOT HAVING GUNS WORKS IN OTHER COUNTRIES. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHEN TALKING ABOUT AMERICA. IT JUST DOESN'T.
Every time someone says something like that, an angel gets shanked.

Jan 13, 13 at 2:58am ^re: At it again.
quote ShadowCrystalluxOkay up until this point I thought everyone who said guns should be more regulated, and having stricter laws on guns had a fair point, I mean yeah I don't think that the average civilian should be carrying around an automatic rifle.
But then you come up with this saying that EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE shouldn't have a gun?
I'm going to ignore the part about self defense, simply because that I have no say in that matter.
But saying that there are more ethical ways to kill an animal other then guns? Guns are the most ethical way of killing an animal, shoot it in the right place and instant death, no pain felt.
I come from a small village in Alaska, and the animals we kill counts for about 80% of our diet, and I'm just talking about one village, not counting the rest of Alaska and of course America. We can't just start eating solely from our local store, since the food has to be shipped up there by plane the prices of everything is doubled, if we tried to do that we would go broke instantly.
We can't go back to the old ways of hunting, because that would be way too inefficient. Hunting with a spear or bow and arrow would kill a few, and probably feed a small group of people. But Alaska has grown and now the only way to feed our people is by hunting with guns, because it is the only way to catch the amount of animals we hunt.
Tell me please how would banning guns help us natives in Alaska?

Demonfurby, seriously, if you didn't have guns legalised there, there would be a lot less deaths there, end of. Any idiot can work that much out, don't be a smart ass, and try presuming the limits of what I know thanks. The cold kid I can understand your point there, thanks for being civil. The impractalities of non-gun hunting would be somewhat severe as I can now understand. So far Demonfurby, one of your points has actually been valid. Well done! Now, other than killing animals for food, what else can guns do that are good for humans? I congratulate you on having one good point in this entire thread. Also, why is that gunman shooting people? Owait, lax gun laws. Summing this up, yes, now taking away guns from the USA would be pointless, there's no chance in hell it's going to work, as I've already stated. However, I still stand firmly that guns cause nothing but additional violence. I'm going to ignore any further notifications from you Demonfurby, because this whole time my statements have actually been somewhat agreeable to yours, we've both agreed that guns in the USA aren't going anywhere, and that's final. We have different views on why guns are/aren't necessary, but that can wait for a later date. I've wasted enough time here.

It is a catch 22 situation, to be put simply.
In places in America criminals have guns. So that makes the people need to protect themselves and have a gun for self defence.
If American bans the possession of firearms regular people will have to give up there weapons, whilst criminals would hang on to them or find a way to get more, making people more vulnerable.
Is that what you mean Demonfurby?
Until America can take firearms off individuals who are not fit to carry them without putting people at risk, the debate is going to just go on.

Zola has been hampered by a hamstring injury in recent weeks and the problem resurfaced again against Aldershot on Tuesday night, forcing the striker off after 58 minutes.
Albion boss Gary Rowett will hope Billy Kee can recover from the knee knock that ruled him out in midweek. If Kee remains out and Zola is sidelined again, Matt Paterson could come into the starting line-up.
Leading scorer Jacques Maghoma also missed out against the Shots due to a knee injury sustained during last Saturday's 3-1 home win over Cheltenham and, like Kee, the winger will be assessed.
Paterson is joined by defenders Andrew Corbett and Marcus Holness and midfielders Jack Dyer, Jimmy Phillips and Chris Palmer in providing Rowett with options for changes.
