    collect feodras instead

    The funny thing is that the "OMG 'they' all have guns!" paranoia is the exact reason that some of my family went and bought a shotgun and a crossbow for home protection. Gun ownership is gonna happen. It's way to ingrained now to go away. But damn I hate it when people do it for silly reasons.

    Yeah that's true too. If I went to that part of Jackson, at the most I'd be offered drugs. As long as I minded my p's and q's I'd be just fine.

    I might get a few "Crazy ass white boy." comments.

    Also, the death rate of machetes falling from the sky is probably lower than bullets.

    (non-fatal shootings have, unsurprisingly, a higher rate of incidence than firearms homicides in the US, at something like 200,000 year url=http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/TUTORIAL/GUNS/GUNSTAT.html]link[/url)

    I live in one of the few households in England with a shotgun in it, so I don't really have much fear of guns. That being said, the US' gun culture is mostly retarded, and every gun control debate I've seen has been a grim reflection of this.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    on the other, statistics. You will not get murdered.
    Not how statistics work.

    Exactly how statistics works.

    You will not get murdered is true within an acceptable accuracy range.

    That sure isn't how statements work.

    But I get my puppy today. So my emotions are a bit confused!

    whoa what happened stacey?

    also do you have puppy pics?

    Just some differences we've had for awhile and we finally decided it was best to call it.

    This is the most recent pic of the pup at 8 weeks:

    Replace "guns" with "machetes" and see what that does to your thoughts.

    I'd rather get shot, tbh.

    I had exactly the same thought.

    Most people don't carry a high enough caliber weapon for it to really "maim" you like a machete would. You just gotta roll the dice and hope that whatever they hit doesn't cause you to die in the next few hours.

    Machetes.. you're probably going to lose a limb and/or bleed out. Fuck that noise.

    Then there's the hacking. It's not like it'll go through clean on the first swing. Nope they're going to be going at it more than once.

    Who knows when they will stop.

    Maybe some concerned citizen with a gun will rescue you though.

    And seriously - statistically your odds of getting shot / murdered in the US are low.

    But even then, most of the people getting murdered in the US are involved in drugs and / or gangs.

    If you're some normal white guy in the suburbs, the odds of getting shot / murdered are negligible.

    I forgot to mention I kicked ass at the interview

    he was doing a standard interview question dealio - where do you see yourself in 5 years? Well, not at this gas station.

    and the lady sitting in added some better questions about how I'd deal with narcomanics pilfering goods from the shelves and such

    (which I could confidently answer that I'd deal with well because hulen.)


    what I know about fixing cars? Well, not much, just changing oil, wipers, lamps, wheels, that sort of thing

    (which I do - I've been doing that on our cars forever, I did that at the previous gas station I worked, I kept two M113s running on my own in the army)


    I am actually kind of very well suited for a job at a gas station.

    At least this won't be solitary work.

    I went through a phase where I very nearly bought a rifle, but ultimately decided against it. My wife and I both suffer from depression. Neither one of us is suicidal, but I mean, it's just not worth it being there. Honestly, I have a really open floor plan. I think one of those industrial cans of bear mace would serve us quite well.

    Yikes, sorry bro. Ok. You were kinda bad. You kept not only hitting my creeps, making it hard for me to last hit. But you also kept using Morgana's pool as support, making it again hard for me to last hit and also pushing the lane faster than we could safely ward for ganks. Also, you didn't buy any wards other than your trinket.

    Zat better?

    /I still love you though. Best canuck good luck charm evar, eh.
