If you don't have a lock, hold open the action and verify you are clear. No Tom, it would never happen to me. I have dealt with many many firearms that don't have slide locks. Yeah. Ok...it'll never happen to you. Ok, then explain to me what exactly you seen when you held open the action, checked t...

I've been playing with firearms most of my life and lived in the desert where everyone had them- usually sitting around leaning up against walls in rooms. The military helped me clean up my skills somewhat, but not honestly as much as people think. I've known folks that claimed cleaning accidents. I...

IF it werent for some of the wealthy BM goers, we wouldnt have Art Cars and/or parties/music at BM....do yo know how much it was to get that Duck to BM Uhm yah. I haven't read the whole thread- but apparently you don't know jack shite about art cars. Before the new 'art cars' that are around the pl...

Radical self-expression is not a synonym for "loud, rude, obnoxious, unspiritual, anti-community behavior. You do realize that this is all opinion, right? Your spirituality will not be the same as another's. Your definition of 'Community' is not that of others. You observed a bunch of rude drunks. ...

I get the Temple. Its a bunch of BMORG funded wood that gets burned at a big desert party. Anything beyond that is personal interpretation. By saying that others 'don't get it'- you instantly put yourself squarely in with the elitist Art snobs whose concepts of art are beyond ours. If you are intere...

A portcullis? That is freaking awesome. I wanna party with you guys, and deny access to your camp from behind the portcullis. Do you have a pot of molten acid you can pour on the really annoying ones? Next year it's all about the moat! Anybody know where I can get a good deal on a Lava Monster? Wel...

Yes it bothers me that a forum that used to be open-minded is so swamped with the need to brutalize each other---but maybe I'm missing the new culture. Uhm...huh? Which Eplaya have you been on? I've been trolling these here waters since 97. This is the mellowest its been in years. Which is why I do...

I schtupped Demi Moore at the Temple Burn, does this count?

omigosh i love this thread :) fuck the popcorn, I've got rotten fruit and old eggs! *clinging to outside of eplaya-der-dome, heckling madly* go Badger, go heh fuck him up good so we don't have to and more importantly, is it really wrong to sugar the gas tank of an asshat driving around on the playa...

i ate, just not a 'good meal', So I was right. You were lying for sympathy. Not eating for two days is a little bit different than not eating exactly what you wanted. and I was NOt belittling him, calling him names, only getting him to lighten up.. By telling everyone around you to get him some dru...

Ok, you must be kidding me. First off, if you haven't eaten in two days- you are either an utter idiot or a liar. What do you think a desert is? It dangerous to pull that stuff in extreme conditions. It sounds like you are trying to justify driving on a heavily crowded street because you are lazy. E...

I don't have advice, but I do have a story. A couple friends of mine were coming home from a bar down the street on their golf cart. Unfortunately, the cart had broken down so the guy was pushing the golf cart along the side of the road while his girlfriend and her friend were in the cart. A drunk d...

I question the religious tolerance website. I've heard rumors that its backed by Scientology. I have no way of knowing whether this is true or not, but some of the reading I've done on that website makes me seriously question their impartiality. Regardless, it looks like the same spin put on the rec...

Why good Lord no! Burning Man is most certainly NOT institutionalized. In order for an event to become institutionalized- you would have to have internal commerce of a brand name product during the event, a zealously litigatiously guarded trademark, a highly publicized CEO, T-shirts/hats/calendaers/...

Higher Evolution equal higher compassion and empathy. HUGE assumption. If you look around you at how animals evolve, you would be hard pressed to say they are very compassionate or emphathetic. If you look at the entirety of our history, you would say the same. From a strict standpoint of "survival...

Well yes, but what is the difference between Tom Cruise and any other hard core religious fanatic? You can be an utter off-the-wall nutcase in any religion, they all have their fair share. Lambasting Tom Cruise is like lambasting Fred Phelps. From my (non) religious beliefs, I don't get any of it. B...

That's what I'm talking about.

Its not a REAL religion unless SOMEBODY gets smited. Please tell me L. Ron had lazer eyes. Or a pet shark with lazer eyes. Or a bear that carried a pet shark with lazer eyes.

Cause that would just be too cool.

No I don't fucking charge for a measly half-assed theory that I concocted in the shower - yeesh.

I'll take the full assed shower theory for $1000, Alex.

Just make sure there is a fluffy bunny in it, and somebody smiting something or other.

Since I plonked the fair Donna way back when she insulted people for not jumping on the Ron Paul bandwagon, it's hard for me to know if she's really as stupid and self rightious as everyone's responses would imply. Can someone give me the skivvie? And where is Oneeyeddick with his ruler to put some...

Individuals beliefs often were quite different from organized Christian totalitarianistic theocracy . Many "modern" Scientists were "Christian" and the "Church" had little or nothing to do with what they did. The Church (in what ever day) is often FAR different than individuals beliefs. To equate t...

There were many many underground groups during the inquisition that kept their faiths. Jewish ones, Christians one, and probably Islamic ones, but then they were kicked out by Queen E and King F. I never said anything about torture, not was Galileo ever tortured... Where did that come from? It wasn...

Lot of people kept there faiths during the Inquisition. You seriously must be kidding me... I started watching this thread and thought I saw a fairly intelligent person with a Christian faith being beset by everyone and holding her own. My first foray into this thread was in support of you, in a ma...

We are using words. Words have meanings. Therefore when a person uses a word it has a distinct meaning. This is called a syllogism (logic). Syllogism have a major premise, a minor premise and a conclusion. We are using words. Words have meanings. Therefore when a person uses a word it has a distinc...

I am a scientist and have studied the histories of many of the European scientist. They were, as a group, mostly Christian. Pascal (inventor of Calculus) wrote more theology books than math books. Newton - the same. Mendel was a monk. Etc. etc. etc. Now most people site Galileo but though famous fo...

Dana - you actually believe that Western Culture is not Christain Culture? Wow... okay... where did Western Culture come from then? the moon? What date do you use? If you are using 2008 - that's because Jesus was born around 2008 years ago... All of Europe was Catholic and then some turned Protesta...

Atheism- I can't believe you just said that.

Toolmaker, did a Catholic priest scare you as a kid or something? Seriously. You are trying to 'debunk' Genesis? I'm an atheist (and no, most definitely NOT an agnostic), but less of a 'YOU ARE WRONG AND EVIL BECAUSE OF IT' atheist- and more of a 'non-existant until proven otherwise' atheist. But yo...

Do I flirt? I have no idea. I don't think you will find a person more utterly unable to comprehend a flirt. You would be astounded as to how many times I have been told that such and such was flirting heavily with me, and I turn a blank slack-jawed drooling expression to them and say, "Waaahhhhhuuuu...
