Sorry zundfolge, but it's just not true. The economic data aren't even close to ambiguous for things like median real income, net wealth by quartile, indebtedness, percentage of families who can make it on a single income, or any of the other rock-solid standard measures. That's the simple...

It's not just the gun control thing. I see that as more of a symptom of the underlying problems. Bear with me a moment on this one. Like Americans, this generation of Britons is poorer, less secure and downwardly mobile compared its parents. The good jobs have left in the Global Race to the...

My friend Bobbe has been going to Indonesia to train every year for about the last 10 or 12. He's got several systems' kerambit techniques. They almost never flip it around. There's a couple specialized moves, but that's about it. On the plus side they're hard to disarm, work well close in...

Bad advice tmil, pretty close to "felony stupid" advice actually. It's "just a rule" that will get you expelled with extreme prejudice if they catch you. A university is allowed to make its own rules and enforce them. Claiming that the Second Amendment (laaa!) protects you will get you a speech...

The Saracens are coming! The Saracens are coming! Seriously, even though there is a lot of Muslims in the UK including some pretty primitive curved-knife hillbillies it's not going to be them that does the killing. Consider the numbers. Consider the color of Parliament. Consider whose living...

Sometimes heroism is just desperation that gets noticed :rolleyes:

T'warn't broke, so it didn't need fixin' :)

From Christopher Moore's hilarious "Coyote Blue".... Coyote, the Native American Deity, has invaded our hero's yuppie LA lawyer life, trashed his apartment, eaten the neighbor's cat and is currently making the Sign of the Aardvarking Bandicoot with his firm's secretary in the Senior Partner's...

Especially since it was set for "Roadrunner"

There's a very good reason to watch rush-hour traffic - ROAD KILL!

Desmond Doss is the only Conscientious Objector to win the CMOH.

Why design a "modern" "tactical" gladius? The old version is just about as perfect a short sword as was ever devised by the mind of Man. Hundreds of years of R&D, battle-tested against everyone for hundreds of miles around.

Why would you want to make a "silent kill". If you're in a self defense situation the more attention and noise the better. You want people to take notice and call the cops. If it's not a self defense situation I really don't want to know about it.

Nope. For less-than-lethal situations I don't really need it. For deadly force situations I wouldn't trust it.

They do take some getting used to. Kerambits are trendy right now, but they aren't The Unholy Ichor of Great Cthulhu or anything like that. They have limitations like every other weapon. A friend who spends several months in Indonesia every year doing Silat says they are more assassination...

Gonzales is just one example. His underlings like Yoo and his colleagues like The Torturer's Apprentice - Dick Cheney - also need to go. Preferably to somewhere with bars on the windows and daylight piped in every second Thursday.

You have a good knife and a small club. What else do you need more than 9,999 out of 10,000 times? Maybe one of those lead-filled book weights?

It pretty much confirms what I thought. He decided a long time ago that laws didn't apply to him unless he wanted them to. He learned a bunch of pseudo-legalistic twaddle to justify what he wanted to hear. He just "had faith" that reality would change to accommodate his wishful thinking. And...

There's an alternative to being terrified or killing a passing coyote. If it isn't causing problems by attacking livestock or denning under your house, then leave it alone. It's not going to attack you unless you do something monumentally stupid. And no, they're not completely nocturnal. Like...

I don't see what the problem is outside of a fetishistic obsession with The Sacred Gun (laaaa!). These have either been voluntarily given to the police or confiscated. I suppose the cops could make a few bucks selling the few that were worth something, but they're under no obligation to do so...
