ignored? wow that just jumps out at you doesn't it. you win. i wrote at least two somewhat lenthy posts in direct response to your own, if you really feel i missed something that's one thing, but to suggest i purposefully ignored you is ridiculous. i would suggest in the future that you...- towndrunk

Vocabulary Today
are you saying here that the precise definition of murder can change from jurisdiction to jurisdiction? if there is a single common law definition, why would various other jurisdictions need to define it further? do they all define it the same? exactly? which one is more correct? how can they...- towndrunk

carebear said: "I do think there is a negative effect to language drift, the loss of precision in meaning." those are two different things in my opinion. drift doesn't always equal a lack of precision. sometimes words are used imprecisely such as what you provided as example, but even...- towndrunk

sorry about the digression, i was pointing my post to your last post along these lines: "Our society, as a whole – rich and poor – simply no longer values proper grammar in routine daily use." I am not saying we are moving toward less words at all. in fact, i think we are merely using...- towndrunk

I suppose I will step up to the plate and defend Englisch properly. I spell it this way to illustrate our language's Teutonic origin and its subsequent evolution to modern English over the last several hundred years. First allow me to state that I am not suggesting modern, or correct...- towndrunk

Buying an ipod
the difference is simple and somewhat important. the 8 and 16 GB ipods are flash memory as opposed to an actual hard drive. the obvious advantage a hard drive has over flash is space. the hard drive is basically a mini version hard drive like what's inside your computer. the flash drive...- towndrunk

Reproduction 50s stoves and fridges
If you get a vintage fridge, have a look at a Servel. you can find them easily on ebay and they are virtually indestructable. they work better than modern electric/compressor fridges and no electricity required either. they still make them too by the way, but the new ones don't have the...- towndrunk

Well then, for the edification of the community, here is a specific (note: specific *snicker*) list of all fifty states and what you can legally own and where. the list was compiled by James Bardwell as noted at the top of the page. By the way, Bardwell's page is probably the most... -

Luckily, KL15 lives in Arkansas, at least his profile says he does. had he lived in a state with restricted constitutional rights I'd have made a note of this regarding his particular state. Generally speaking, (note that I'm speaking generally) the states in the Southern US have very few... -

That the state must allow the ownership and use of title II goes without saying. that said, you can't buy a 2007 two-stroke vespa px150 scooter in california either but you can in the other 49 states. -

Two great places to start your research on what you might want and what's available are: www.subguns.com Subguns has resource info on laws, forms you need in pdf format, a classifieds page, and a recommended dealer list. the owner of the site, Tom Bowers, also manufactures middle to high... -

Favorite Small Arms of WW2
yeah, before 1986 machineguns were fairly cheap. thanks to ronald reagan anything manufactured post 86' is not available to the public, hence the significant price jump on a sudden finite supply. as for BATF and endless paperwork, nothing could be further from the truth. in ten years i... -

It is in fact VERY legal for a US citizen (corporate or private) to own Title II firearms. (machineguns and silencers) I own three machineguns and two silencers myself currently. If you wish to know how I will be happy to point you in the right direction. B.A.R.'s are very expensive as... -

What was the last TV show you watched?
Weeds on Showtime is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time. Satisfied with Heroes so far... well done in my opinion. The Tudors on showtime is kinda cool too. I'm on strike with those people at HBO because they first stopped producing Deadwood with only one more season to go and...- towndrunk

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
My brand new Fed Deluxe. First day out today and it was a downpour. Worked great though. Kept the rain off my spectacles and my bald head dry. I'd have a better pic, but I am sitting at a coffee shop and the camera is attached to my Mac. cheers
