your mother is calling you the cartoons or MTV is on.

 

bump

 

it's what's inside not your possissions or any material thing

 

Why would i own a bong if i didn't smoke pot?it's what's inside you that makes you own what you do.Non violent people have non violent possessions.Once again for those of you who are slow.You are what you are.Why call it something else.

 

now now la douche

 

thats an idea!

 

bump

 

Maybe to smoke Egyptian tobbacco, or sage, who knows, but its not just for pot.

 

When I was 13-14 we used to go to the desert and kill things for fun. One day I shot a rabbit. I went to where he fell and when I got there his right leg was gone. He had a tear in his eye and was crying. I put him out of his misery. Then I cried too. That was the last time I ever used my gun.

Having said that, when the human grid finally fails and chaos reigns, I intend to survive. My Browning Sweet 16 is still in the closet.

Which raises a philosophical conundrum. If civilization falls and anarchy takes hold, should someone who believes in love and peace use any means necessary to insure his survival, so his message can be taught to others?

 

at least you didn't say cloves.
My brother used to smoke valerian root through my pipes.i'd have to throw them away...
The premlse is the same though.A bong is to smoke.A gun is made to kill white men,black men,birds,and etc.The premise is to kill.

 

i hope you have a good cache of bullets cause in the end they'll have control of the munitions plants.

 

I wouldnt worry about munitions plants, theres enough surplus com-bloc ammo floating around that munition plants arent really needed. you know it is very well possible to own a bong and not smoke, or intend to smoke, I got 3 myself, but i dont toke anything. I am really not impressed by all of you, arguing on about this subject, at this point there isnt a resolution, the gun owners dont want to give them up and the anti gun people want them banned, i dont see any of you ever agreeing, and frankly it's getting annoying, I own several firearms, I dont kill anything nor intend to kill anything, being a gun owner in no way makes you a killer. This discussion is going no where, gate68 your an idiot and all that fun stuff, have a nice day assholes

 

dont worry any idiot can make black powder. and proper stored ammo can last over 100 years.

 

good point,you just like looking like a stoner and pretending that you're violent.You're just another pro gun redneck.Wanting power and control over other living things,afraid to open your doors without "protection".Another paranoid rabbit.
