The appeal is that the theory, once stripped of the verbosity, is something so simple that even someone who majors in Transgender Studies can understand it. I mean, its really so obvious and true, you know, just like its obvious that the Sun orbits around the earth.

They’re never going to leave you alone. That’s the point. Always in your face and ready to run somebody else’s business.

Ya know, Subotai was really on to something when he pointed out the anti-social tendencies of this character – interesting how the juvenile determination to offend whenever possible (by means of thinly veiled racism and homophobia, no less, that he’s constantly projecting onto others) coexists with and warps what are probably sincere pleas for respect. Not to mention the hyper-magnification of what he’s done here – which is basically to put his own immaturity and psychological warts on display – as an accomplishment, accompanied by pathetic bullying threats to anyone who’ll listen about how he’ll go anywhere, anytime to “stand up” for his “beliefs”. And then he dares us to reveal it all to his boss. No wonder he speaks of “staring into the abyss” as if it were something everyone does first thing every morning. Sad like a time bomb.

I don’t even believe he’s the grocery bagger in Des Moines anymore either.

SR/405; the Kulaks? Who cares? (catch the letter @ 4:55) and, for a look of the contemporary:

391. LFMayor:
I felt a little bad going OT but this thread has been driven off a cliff by “you now who” anyways. So.

The Austrian M-95 rifle and carbine are decent guns, they balance well and are very well made. Compared to the bulk of a Schmidt-Rubin they are almost elegant. The idea of a straight-pull bolter scared me a little at first but I’ve banged through a thousand or so rounds without any problems. The biggest problem is recoil, the very straight stock and heavy (200g) bullet make for a pretty sharp bite. In 6.5 they would be much better behaved.

If you like straight-pulls there are several others out there, my favorite is the Canadian Ross. It is a gresat bull of a gun but a real tack-driver. The US Navy had a 6.5mm straight pull back in the 1900s but I have never had the pleasure of owning one.

“So what’s the appeal?”

It’s a fundamental flaw in the leftist’s character which was never properly addressed by their families in childhood or our education system. They covet what they do not have and will stop at no length in order to secure what their callow minds believe is an equitable condition, including the destruction of those around them.

David the Marxist: “That’s Dear Leader Commander-in-Chief President Barack Hussein Obama to you, monkey boy.”

Spoken like a zealous Marxist collectivizer of the Kulaks – in love with his dear usurper-in-chief. Aaah, what a beautiful golden calf you have – just bow down a little lower and kiss the ring. Ain’t that good ole manifesto-thumping religion great?

Marx has had lessee 2010 -1850 = 160 years and the only success it has had is in keeping keeping a few tyrants in office forever (by filling graveyards with those who exercise their human rights) and their surviving proletariat as poor & needy as Job’s turkey.

That’s the record. So what’s the appeal?

Personally, i think a lot of ‘em, in view of history, must have some sort of vision of themselves wearing those great-looking black SS uniforms and loading everybody else, especially the neighbors, into those railroad boxcars.

David, if it should ever come to pass that the average American worker were to work for $1/day rather than $150/day, then a loaf of bread would cost a mere penny or two. Who cares about what nominal wages are? It’s what those wages can buy that is important.
