Krosigrim Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well I live near the DC area. It's a few hours away. Anyway, I've been talking to a few guys and one actually grew up there. I wont get into why what Im saying has happened, but over time, DC has become a slum. This is where the white house is... but in the non secured areas, its a fucking wreck. It is practically a daily occurrence to hear gunshots. Which means, the President of the United States of America can hear gunshots on a regular basis... WTF is that shit. I just find it ironic. I thought anyone who doesn't know... mainly our non American friends here who might be unaware, might find that... interesting. So with this, I summon the anti gun members of the site lol. But whatever you say, since guns are so common in the US, I damn sure want one. I can say that easily since I don't have a kid ( no child to accidently hurt or kill themselves ) I want a gun for the simple reason, that its stopping power, and I want to be able to protect my loved ones if shit does hit the fan. Shit is getting worse worldwide, but for us here in the states... somethings going to break. The U.S. dollar gets thinner and thinner, and it gets harder and harder to hold on to any. The less desirable of our citizens are becoming bolder and bolder, just ask Hera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsley Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Your not alone grimster. That is quite shocking. The sad fact is if your country says "cool buy a gun." then that shit is going to happen, the gun been fired what you can hear wont be people having a "jolly good day out shooting some game" but assholes with drugs in their bodys in a nutshell the people who should not have guns have them. The dollar is thin, the pound is a quarter pounder - "regular people" (as in poor) in england have nothing at the moment, those lucky enough to have a decent job are even in danger of losing them - everything is been hamstringed drained and tapped. Our government is having to sell of huge assets worth 16 billion dollars to get through this damned recession. I currently get 84 pound every two weeks or 132 USD. My cupboards are nearly always emptie - Healthy food is hard to get a hold off so I take multi vitamins and eat best I can and exercise. You dont see people in pubs no more, they are just empty, even on a weekend people who go to the pub take just enough for them selfs, guys i know who have had constant work just say "No money!" working in sporadic patterns like 1 week out of the month then back to the jobcentre to get their dole. (its all they can get construction trades are well paid jobs in england most guys do them who are not educated) We have soaring energy costs anyone poor in england at the moment isnt just poor they are on the poverty line. There is only one solloution to get a well paid job - and move to a god area. Hard when thousands upon thousands of people accuire A-levels every year.I said it before and Ill say it again dont come to england. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah that is pretty fucked up. I've heard that too. They even talk about it in a lot of rap songs lol. My birthday is coming up. I've been debating buying myself an AK-47. I'm not really worried about home defense though I pretty much just want to go shoot shit at a gun range. In order to keep it safe I will probably just not have any bullets in the house. I will buy some before going to the range and then just use them all. Like I said to a friend, if someone DOES break in, and I point an AK-47 at them, they are going to know I am not fucking around and GTFO, I won't need bullets. (Plus if I did have bullets my neighbors would be pissed because it would easily penetrate into other apartments) Turns out AKs are cheap as hell (even cheaper than most hand guns) and you can legally own them if they install this plate thing to make it semi auto. I could even get a bayonet and just stab people with it who break in. I dunno about you but I would honestly rather be shot than stabbed. I was thinking either an AK-47, Colt 1911, or some type of badass single action revolver. Glocks are probably cheap too although I haven't looked at them recently. What I'd REALLY like to get is a badass bolt action rifle with the biggest bullet affordable. But they are not cheap at all. I don't really want to spend more than a few hundred bucks here.

emsley Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Close quarters combat calls for the old shotgun. Cant you guys just get some CS-spray? Ive seen that shit put even the mot enraged men down in a single squirt. Can you imagine pulling a gun on some meth head in your house? Sure it will scare the shit out of them an in america burglers know they will be shot - but what if a burgler comes in armed? Just ensure your entry points are like a fucking vault. big walls and a very secure gate to the back or side of the house. Mad though when its cheaper to buy a gun than improve walls and window locks.... Only in america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT-Vincent Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I wont get into why what Im saying has happened, but over time, DC has become a slum.

Which means, the President of the United States of America can hear gunshots on a regular basis... WTF is that shit. I just find it ironic. I've never been to DC, but I have heard the stories. I think it's really more of a sad reflection of our country than a surprise. I mean, how many major cities can you really say are nice places that you'd want to live? Even Pittsburgh, which I live very close to is a hell hole despite being rated as "The Most Livable City in America". Sure, Downtown doesn't look THAT bad (if you ignore all of the hobos) but the surrounding towns are almost all ghettos which don't show any sign of getting better anytime soon. As a country, we need to rethink urban development. The dollar is thin, the pound is a quarter pounder - "regular people" (as in poor) in england have nothing at the moment, those lucky enough to have a decent job are even in danger of losing them - everything is been hamstringed drained and tapped. Our government is having to sell of huge assets worth 16 billion dollars to get through this damned recession. I currently get 84 pound every two weeks or 132 USD. My cupboards are nearly always emptie - Healthy food is hard to get a hold off so I take multi vitamins and eat best I can and exercise.

(its all they can get construction trades are well paid jobs in england most guys do them who are not educated) Honestly, at least in terms of the financial situation things haven't really hit where I live yet. I'm gainfully employed and can look forward to a 4-digit pay check every two weeks and I also bought my first new car about 6 months ago. Unfortunately though, it is a frightening situation because we know it's going to hit at some point - it has to. The dollar is very weak and getting dumped as a reserve currency, our government is printing money out of control and credit lines have frozen. All of this in combination is going to hit this country like a ton of bricks. The problem in America (and I'd be the first to say I'm guilty of it too) is that we're not willing to change our lifestyles. Despite this disaster, spending hasn't really slowed that much and our government knows it can't ask anyone to make any sacrifices. Instead, we're trying to maintain and unmaintainable level of debt and standard of living. The most frightening thing of all is that our government refuses to acknowledge the problem - according to them, we're almost out of this "recession." (like hell we are!)

emsley Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The only job I have considered "learning" is IT. You can earn up to 20 Pound an hour and the course only takes one year. It's annoying though becasue its shit I allready know - piece of paper means everything. Our government is predicting early next year for shit to get better here if's that's true why the fuck are they selling the channel tunnel. Lets face facts - when the chips are down humans will tear each other apart and our leaders will be flown some place safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face facts - when the chips are down humans will tear each other apart and our leaders will be flown some place safe. I would highly recommend the IT field, it pays well and doesn't require an enormous time commitment. You'd be surprised how far certifications and experience will get you in this field. I don't see why any government (including mine) thinks this is going to get better. There are really no signs of recovery out there. I think this is a case of "if we convince the investors it's all ok, maybe they'll start using their money to prop up our failing companies again". If the worst should happen and this or any other country slips into another Great Depression, I am hopeful that people will remain civil and work through this like human beings instead of ripping each other apart like animals.

Krosigrim Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well Id love to get a P90. But thats very impractical. Unless shit does hit the fan then yes, an assault rifle would be handy.And a gunbladeLOL this would be nice tooMount this somewhereAnd this for the backyard But Id just like a firearm. Clip based but a revolver isnt a bad choice either. But anyway, yes things are getting worse. Were practically in another depression. The dollar isnt based on gold OR silver. They print up more and more. The banks are in controll. Im not saying go to a scialist society... but the rich are getting richer and the poorer poorer. There are so many things wrong in our society alone, where do you start. It's like a Jinga puzzle, pull a few blocks out and the whole thing falls. Shit has yet to hit the fan, but it will. I can feel it. It may be some time, but how the hell can it get better as is? Not a damn thing is changing. Gas industry makes ridiculous amounts of profit. Why? I'll not get into political debates, but fuck this shit quite frankly. Bah. LOL Im off to go pickup my Fallout 3 GOTY. How ironic... LOL Honest... I didn't even make the connection until just now. The game in no way made me think of this topic! Wow thats is hilarious. For all that don't know, Fallout 3 takes place in a post apocalyptic Washington DC. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsley Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah heh , I was been a bit extreme then - poverty leads to crime thats why grim and DCL are buying guns. And buy crime I mean not just burgelry, but evrything goes up, violence, divorce , deppression, anger...take away a few basic needs and a human being can become a diffrent animal alltogether. What we need are some ED-209s ... I have one guarding the 1em server right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT-Vincent Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Personally, I would like to see a full gun ban in place in the US. I think our country would be a better place without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
