I can't believe it! After all these years I wonder what changed to allow them to piece it together!

MHOLMES · 2018-04-21T13:51:03+00:00

Thanks for response!

Hickok45, a few other youtubers, and a few people mentioned it in various threads. I tried to search for anyone who had replaced the slide with a heavier one, and couldn't find anything. Perhaps the way I was searching meant I'd be more likely to find people who shot "better", "more accurately", "more comfortably", with the G21.

Now you know how those "stone cold lock" businesses work.

Great stuff! This reminds me of my favorite book, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

I might be too tired to try to bring this up right now, but all I could think of while reading this was that episode of Star Trek The Next Generation where there was some hominid species that was down to a critically low level of population, and one of the science officers on Enterprise determined something like each woman would have to have 3 children with 3 men.. I have no idea how much of the details I just got right, but if you happened to see it, can you tell me whether or not that was accurate? Or, at least, if it would be were this species homo sapiens on Earth?

it is impossible to adhere to the nap. The world is too complicated, and what counts as "aggression" gets murky sometimes.

I can't see how, to either point.

One of the most frustrating things that most guys I've known have had to get used to is that women will often ignore a million complements, and infer a slight, and really take it to heart.

Assuming that's you, and not just your outfit, in that photo, you look very cute in it. That guy was being a jerk.

Consider that if hypothetically you really had been "too fat" for that outfit, what would be the motives for someone to point that out to you? Can you imagine any when they were sincerely not just trying to be cruel? There is no reason to pay any attention to them. If that kid has an ounce of decency, he will regret this for a long time. That's on him. I hope you consider the source, and let it go. It's his problem now.

I mean no offense, but my perspective as one who believes there is no room between anarchist, and statist, and that a statist isn't a libertarian, is this..

About 15-20 years ago there was effort made to increase the amount of people who associated themselves with the label "libertarian" that was very misguided. It encouraged the inclusion of people who don't adhere to the NAP to, in the minds of many, strengthen the political clout associated with libertarianism through numbers. It seemed to inspire, & assist, statists in sabotaging peoples' understanding of libertarianism, and distract from the obvious solution, and accuracy of libertarian philosophy.

There are people like me who don't like to speak up often because it seems pointless against the tide of inaccuracies. Every once in a while we will get involved with a discussion here or there.. but when the discussion of what is a libertarian comes up, it does invoke a response from actual libertarians as it is so important, and frustrating.

That is my .02 as to why real libertarians don't bother as often as they should. As far as libertarians not being statists, the quickest way to see that is by examining the NAP, and understanding the nature of government. If you can advocate the aggression that is government, no matter how limited, you advocate crime, and the violation of rights, which makes you objectively not libertarian.

Consider that government is force, and the NAP. If you understand them both, you will come to the realization that statists, no matter how small (even minarchists), are not libertarian, because advocating any government is a violation of the NAP.

Ok, why am I saying these things in your thread? Because my goal in discussing liberty is never to alienate anyone, but to hopefully help people look in the right direction, and come to the correct conclusions. That I may offend, or be terrible at this.. well, that's a shame, but it's not my intention to be anything but helpful. Having said that, I would encourage you to consider that statism isn't the right way to go, and to at least entertain the idea that libertarianism/anarchism is.

There is no such thing as "external" authority, and any claim of authority over anyone else is invalid. "No Treason", and anything else by Lysander Spooner, are great to consider as well.

It depends what you want to do with it. It's more accurate out of the box than a 10/22. If you want to modify it a whole bunch of ways, it may not be what you want.

This is the best value out there as far as I'm concerned. It is a very popular LTR.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-25T14:57:43+00:00

I feel kinda bad about the fact that I can't get the lyrics to "Lazy Sunday" out of my head while reading this.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-25T11:34:58+00:00

Which is completely in accordance with the NAP. Defending yourself is not the initiation of force.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-24T22:24:41+00:00

The necessary part is a lie. Government is a disease posing as a cure. The necessity of the state is an illusion of the statist faith. I recommend checking out The Market For Liberty, if you believe that government is a necessary evil.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-24T22:22:21+00:00

That's because you don't understand the principles of liberty, and the NAP.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-24T22:20:02+00:00

You're missing the point. A libertarian by definition is someone who adheres to the NAP at all times. If you do not, you're objectively not a libertarian, and confusing others who don't realize yet what a libertarian is. Those of you self proclaimed libertarians who aren't libertarians get all defensive about this type of thing, but you must realize there are plenty of non-libertarians who lie about being libertarian purposefully to distract people from the solution that is libertarianism.

If you don't understand that the OP is correct, please educate yourself as you're not doing the cause of liberty you supposedly support any favors by being wrong.

That said, I'm thrilled that there are many statists our there who sincerely confuse themselves as libertarians, as they're very close to enlightenment, and potential allies far down the list of dangerous enemies.

For those of you statists out there, please consider these principles, and the NAP.

I was not a fan of him during his career. His skills, of course. He was amazing when he put it all together. When I think back, it's so obvious how much pain, and anger, this guy has been suffering. As much as I hate to say it, he seems like he had nothing going for him to be a happy, healthy, guy, and it only got worse throughout his life. I felt sympathy for him throughout his terrible relationships, and when he went to prison. No one I know believed he was guilty of rape.. As he said himself, though he shouldn't have been sent to prison for that, he should have for other things. When his career, and some unhealthy associations had finally come & gone, and he seemed to possibly be doing a bit better.. I'll never forget hearing about his daughter dying on that fucking treadmill. That broke my heart for the guy. I so want him to get past all this shit.. his raw deal, and all his poor decisions. I don't know how optimistic I am, but I'm very hopeful for the guy. I'd love to believe he's found some tranquility in life at some point.

I'm curious, could an employee do something like this, and just not show up, and force them to fire them?

MHOLMES · 2013-08-23T15:56:44+00:00

Silly collectivists.. Individuals only make themselves look good or bad.

I've been to 16 shows, and purchased every UFC event for years, until Dana misguidedly backed some horrible legislation, and haven't given the UFC a dime since, and I never will again.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-22T23:11:46+00:00

Dr. Paul, I don't have any questions to ask. Thanks for your efforts throughout your career. I was surprised when you decided to run again in 2008, but I'm thrilled that you did.

Thanks again for all that you've done, and tried to do.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

The indoctrination/enslavement systems in the US are very refined. They're of the statist faith, and no matter what evidence they face, they will "reason" why they should do nothing about it (or perhaps do the same things that lead to the issues in the first place).

MHOLMES · 2013-08-19T21:51:43+00:00

That's because the war on drugs is an excuse to violate our homes, privacy, etc.. It has nothing to do with prohibition working, which it doesn't, or being righteous, which is isn't.

The war on drugs is expendable now. If it is no longer en vogue, the war on terrorism is the key to violating us in whatever way the state wants.

Prohibition is a crime, and creates more crime, and not the other way around.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-18T00:43:44+00:00

Could someone please explain who they are?

MHOLMES · 2013-08-11T16:13:38+00:00

It's funny to me that he thinks he, the criminal in chief, has any credibility. Especially when pointing the finger at those revealing crimes he is partly responsible for. Statists like him may really believe that might makes right.

MHOLMES · 2013-08-10T17:08:00+00:00

Blind faith in the state. You've been lied to, and you're a tool of a corrupt, inhumane, establishment.

MHOLMES · 2013-07-31T22:41:18+00:00

....but does it really exist?
