Why?
Is it that every time there is a tv show or a story on tv news someone feels they have to tell everyone on GB about it? Do you think we all live back in the mountains and come out once a week just to check GB for news? I have five tv's and I get two news papers. I read Readers Digest and Time among others. I don't need old news! A lot of us knew about the things you are reporting before you were hatched!

I've been trying to figure out for years now the benefits of having a button-up fly on combat uniform pants instead of a zipper fly.
ACUs have a zipper on the blouse, but they still use buttons on the fly (which never stay closed for me).
Can someone enlighten me as to the reasoning behind having a button fly instead of a zipper fly?0 -

Why is it when Saxon states his opinion there has to be a comment about his degree of education?. No remarks about his opinion. Is this board not about opinions?.
I think Saxon more than anyone here has laid his life open for all to see. He has spent his time on the street, In the bars, And on the ground. This has been backed up by people who have known him for many years.
When I first came on this board the very people that bash Saxon for his education. Bashed me for my poor spelling. After being humiliated, And ready to go off in shame. A private E-Mail showed up from Saxon. Telling me how to cut and paste. Also not to give up. So what we have is the same people bashing those with more education than there selves, And the ones with less.
When a member falls on hard times is Saxon not one of the first to respond with words of encouragement. If a member has good news. He is right there with praise.
I think of this like building a large stone wall. We need the educated man to design the wall. We need the man on the pick and shovel to build the wall. I guess the bashers are what we use to fill in the cracks.
I have herd it said we fear that we don't know. I think some here fear men who do know.
So bash on varmit the un educated for a spell.

1. If your auction is set up, with a "no reserve" why is there a reserve starting price?
2. It appears, that most of the black powder sellers are not being realistic. if you can but the revolver from cabellsa for $190.00 new, why would you pay $225.00 for used, or new old stock.?
3. If after three tries on auction and no sale, why not lower the price. Doesn't no sale, say, the price is too high. Same with no bids.
4. It an automatic, I'm not going to buy your black powder revolver, if you stae ffl only. Da! That adds $25.00 MORE TO THE COST...
5. Presentation makes the sale. Why post a pic, thats so dark, the item is not clearly visible?
Just some points, I'd like to make with sellers.0 -
Why is this Florida murder trial news worthy?
We had a woman (not in our town) put her infant child in a washing machine, the baby died. That did not make a dent even in local news.
Could some one let me know why we have to have 24 hour coverage of the Anthony woman? The news folks go on and on about how pretty the little girl was, does that really matter?

why on earth would anyone want to shoot a bear, deer is one thing but a bear? i just dont understand why you would want to kill a bear is the meat that good? or is it so you can tell people you shot a bear? i have news for you trophy hunts and safari's are about how much money you have not about hunting. i will remind you trophy hunters once again like some guy named steve says"it aint that hard to kill a really big animal with a really big gun" i know i will take heat for this but i dont care.unless someone convinces me otherwise i see no reason to go kill a bear thats not threating human life. 0 -

By ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press Writer Angela K. Brown, Associated Press Writer - Mon Aug 24, 11:06 pm ET
FORT WORTH, Texas - The skeletal remains of two infants have been found in a box and a storage container under an abandoned mobile home porch in rural northern Texas - a year after another baby's remains were discovered in a suitcase in a nearby field, officials said Monday.
The son of the land owner who rents mobile homes to several people on his 5-acre lot said he was cleaning Sunday when he found some bones in a box in a plastic bag and others in a plastic storage bin.
Authorities plan to compare the infants' DNA samples to that of the other baby whose remains were found last year in a suitcase in a field on the same lot, said Tarrant County Sheriff's Office spokesman Terry Grisham. In that case, the medical examiner was unable to determine a cause of death, and authorities had no leads because they could not identify the baby or say whether a crime had occurred, Grisham said.
Justin Southern said that when he saw the bag and storage container under the stairs, he remembered his father's gruesome discovery.
"That thought just flashed in my head, and I thought, 'Surely Lord, no - please' and I jerked that trash bag open," Southern said. "It's overwhelming. It's sad someone could even think about doing that to a baby."
The brother and sister who lived in the mobile home for about three years before recently moving out denied knowing anything about the remains found Sunday and said they were surprised to hear about the discovery, Grisham said. They have been cooperating with authorities and have not been charged with any crime, officials said.
Detectives also were trying to find out if anyone else stayed at the mobile home or lived there before the siblings, Grisham said.
Authorities were still investigating how and when the infants died, said Dr. Roger Metcalf of the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office. He said a report could take several days, but a cause of death may never be determined depending on the state of decomposition.
"We'll have to look at the evidence to see if it was a fetus, stillborn birth or was born alive," Metcalf told The Associated Press.
If the infants were born dead or died of natural causes, someone still could face charges. Texas law prohibits concealing a human corpse if someone knows it is not properly buried, and penalties for the Class A misdemeanor are up to a year in jail and maximum $4,000 fine.
Crime scene tape surrounded the gray mobile home Monday as county workers cut down 3- and 4-foot-high weeds and brush, and cadaver dogs searched the area for a couple of hours without finding anything. Some chairs remained on the front porch of the trailer near Rendon, a community about 20 miles south of Fort Worth.
"We're looking for any type of evidence such as clothing or any more remains," Grisham said. "We'll be out here as long as we need to be."
Bo Pavelka, 29, who lives across the street from the trailer, said he had seen a man play with a dog in the yard but had never talked to him.
"I'm curious and worried about who it is," said Pavelka, who has two young children and a third child on the way. "Is it some girl having a baby and then throwing it out, or someone taking babies? We need to find out what the hell is going on."

(This version CORRECTS that land owner's son found remains.)
If there was a pregnant girl living in the trailer, no one seen her after? no one asked about the baby?....or if a guy is just killing kids, no one seen the kids around there?...Have we learned to be blind to what is going on around us?...or is it Not my concern?0 -
Why does our government waste money on illegal aliens to feed, house, educate and medicate them? Why do they bring these unvetted immigrants into this once great country to give them everything their hearts desire?
Our country has lost all respect and honor of other nations/peoples it ever had and is so close to, or on the edge, that we will never recover.

US's most powerful nuclear bomb being dismantled
AMARILLO, Texas (AP) - The last of the nation's most powerful nuclear bombs - a weapon hundreds of times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima - is being disassembled nearly half a century after it was put into service at the height of the Cold War.
The final components of the B53 bomb will be broken down Tuesday at the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, the nation's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility. The completion of the dismantling program is a year ahead of schedule, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration, and aligns with President Barack Obama's goal of reducing the number of nuclear weapons.
Thomas D'Agostino, the nuclear administration's chief, called the bomb's elimination a "significant milestone."
Put into service in 1962, when Cold War tensions peaked during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the B53 weighed 10,000 pounds and was the size of a minivan. According to the American Federation of Scientists, it was 600 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, killing as many as 140,000 people
and helping end World War II.
The B53 was designed to destroy facilities deep underground, and it was carried by B-52 bombers.
With its destruction, the next largest bomb in operation will be the B83, said Hans Kristensen, a spokesman for the Federation of American Scientists. It's 1.2 megatons, while the B53 was 9 megatons.
The B53's disassembly ends the era of big megaton bombs, he said. The bombs' size helped compensate for their lack of accuracy. Today's bombs are smaller but more precise, reducing the amount of collateral damage, Kristensen said.
Since the B53 was made using older technology by engineers who have since retired or died, developing a disassembly process took time. Engineers had to develop complex tools and new procedures to ensure safety.
"We knew going in that this was going to be a challenging project, and we put together an outstanding team with all of our partners to develop a way to achieve this objective safely and efficiently," said John Woolery, the plant's general manager.
Many of the B53s were disassembled in the 1980s, but a significant number remained in the U.S. arsenal until they were retired from the stockpile in 1997. Pantex spokesman Greg Cunningham said he couldn't comment on how many of the bombs have been disassembled at the Texas plant.
The weapon is considered dismantled when the roughly 300 pounds of high explosives inside are separated from the special nuclear material, known as the pit. The uranium pits from bombs dismantled at Pantex will be stored on an interim basis at the plant, Cunningham said.
The non-nuclear material and components are then processed, which includes sanitizing, recycling and disposal, the National Nuclear Security Administration said last fall when it announced the Texas plant's role in the B53 dismantling.
The plant will play a large role in similar projects as older weapons are retired from the U.S.'s nuclear arsenal.0 -
I know this will get poofed or locked quickly.
But, why are we so unforgiving of someone's believe of a higher being, God? Why can't we just say: So be it if they belief in it and we don't. We get Homosexuality shoved don't our throats (figuratively, lol) and we are supposed to accept it, the media, government and Hollywood is running rampant with it (accept gay marriage). Some here even have showed some support over the issue. We wrestle with the Anti-gunners and Veg's., they wish to shove their belief's down our throats. We stand together in these belief's, or at least I assume we do.
The question of life itself may never truly be understood the how's and why's (Sorry Stephen Hawking, I don't belief in you). The very existence is such a mystery, how could it not be so that maybe in the "Big Bang" that started it all, produced the almighty himself, and so the "Beginning". I've heard people state they believed in spirits/ghost, but not sure about God. If there is the possibility of any kind of entity, spirit or Aura, there must be the possibility of a supreme spirit, (my thoughts). I've heard people say that when they die, what they see of their life, how they lived, will be there Heaven or Hades, Look down from where?, if there is no God, no Heaven, there's nothing to look down from. We Accept the request for prayer, I do appreciate the ability of this forum to recognize this request at troubled times. If you don't belief in Prayer, good wishes or hopes are at least acknowledged.
Didn't mean to get deep, But why can't we just acknowledge our belief in God and we'll try not to get too Preachering and the non-believers just move on to the next post if you don't share the belief or wish to get involved in the discussion, no different than if you don't want to get involved in a Glock, 1911 to mouse gun discussion.

I have noticed a couple of things about the ppl in this forum, and the same may hold true in other forums, but for now its this one I have seen it happen in most...
Why is it when a "hot topic" like illegal immigration, abortion, gun rights, child molesters etc hit the news and then hit the discussion here, we get a whole lot of newbies who already know how to post, know the first names of most of the other posters, and type a whole lot like other ppl in here?....why only on hot topics?..
Yes I know I am going to be "bit**ed at for ranting, but I have just washed my floors, did 2 loads of laundry, and deciding what to have for dinner when classic comes home so go bit** at someone who really cares...*LOL0 -
Was filling classic's thermos this morning (range morning) and when purchased it said to "activate" by pouring hot water into it, let is sit, then filly with desired beverage....
WHAT THE HELL FOR?...You are filling it with hot coffee,...why the need for hot water?....its not a hot/cold thermos, which by the way, tells you to "activate" by putting EITHER hot or cold water into it, depending on what you are going to put into it after...
The thermos is always washed after he uses it, rinsed then put away till needed again....when taken out, I rinse it out again, then start the "hot water activation" mode....that is so senseless....
Does anyone know why?...Cant the hot coffee activate it?....or is it just a manufacturers thing?.0 -

Cindy Sheehan asked President Bush, "Why did my son have to die in Iraq"??
Another mother asked Harry Truman, "Why did my son have to die in Korea"??
Another mother asked Franklin D. Roosevelt, "Why did my son have to die at Iwo Jima"??
Another mother asked Woodrow Wilson, "Why did my son have to die on the battlefield of France"??
Yet another mother asked Abraham Lincoln, "Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg"??
And yet another mother asked George Washington, "Why did my son have to die near Valley Forge"??
Then long, long ago, a mother asked, "Heavenly father, why did my son have to die on a cross outside Jerusalem"??
The answers to all these are similar: that others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom.
