    Well for one everyone had guns at school In the country anyways. And pretty much everyone knew how to handle a gun and the person trying to shoot up a school would be dead before they did much. At least that is my reasoning.

    As i said before i have no problems with gamers. I just dislike self control issues.

    Bonus points if you reconize the game lol. If you do HMU sometime we will go on a rampage.

    Meh as towards game desensitizing children might i refer you to....so many movies i cant even count them. Current politics and news, and what many schools are pushing on kids. I honestly think with how many release valves and ways to express themselves have been removed from kids that without gaming it would be vastly worse. Though on the same token thats also why gaming is so addictive methinks. In a game your not joe shmoe who gets his face stomped at school and told HE is the issue by everyone and feels like his life is worthless. He is the hero of a story and actully someone people like love and look upto. Or she or what the hell ever. Just my opinion.

    How did I miss this gem of a thread?!?! The first page was absolutely wonderful. Gotta read the rest.

    I think I may lease on with Lizzywhyte. They/them/It seems to have a good grasp on the business.

    Trying hard to stay outta sight outta mind. Slipping around unannounced and unoffensive was just a way of life. Feeding our families was our drive. Hoping for a better life that probably wasn’t ever coming kept us at it.


    You have 3 basic types of young folks out here now.
    Scared of their own shadow truly believe the DOT can and will eat you, and a bad DAC report puts you in hell. If you got a hood your the entire problem, cuz I’m pure vanilla goodness and never broke a single law my whole life. I’m glad the government protects me cuz mama never give me my balls.


    Next type is straight bad ###. I can run hard and get paid. I don’t have a #### to give I’m trying to get caught. I can’t keep my mouth shut either. I’ll never own a truck but I’m tell you all about owning one.


    Luckily every once in a while you find one that though his methods are unconventional you find yourself still rooting for the #######.

    “ well I traded the Volvo for a W-900 because I thought that Would be good for the Channel “

    Great I have it at the house also. Sometimes during serve storms you will lose service for a min or so but otherwise it's great. It's improved a lot over the last year also. If you do get it always order a extra cable. The cables are junk and doesn't take much to break lol
