Why are you still talking? I thought you were leaving?
Reverse psychology approach: Don't leave, we really wish you would stay...

As much as I would like to stay out of this opera, I've got to add my 2 cents now.I've been fighting for almost 20 years, always alone. I'm not giving up. I'm just accepting my mortality and the fact that no one else will lift a finger. I'm not going to win all by myself. It's just a fact. I have always been alone in this fight. No one wants to restore America.
Oh the drama....
cue the silent movie heroine placing the back of her hand over her forehead, in a overly dramatic fashion.
cue the rapid batting of the overly accentuated eyelashes.
cue the swooning posture.
Oh the drama....
First off, let me state that I do think ixtow has a superiority complex, particularly when it comes to firearms application. He may be the greatest gunsmith in the wolrd, but "Dustin" lacks real world application and practical knowledge. I have, and will continue to, take his "advice" about firearms utilization and combat applicability with a grain of salt.
I hope this elaborates our personal "non-close" relationship.
In short, I don't really like the guy, although I do have to state that he is right about the cataclysmic downfall of this nation.
We have become a nation of self-important entitlists, convinced that our personal securities are standing tall even as our government steamrolls them over.
One of the biggest reasons, as he alluded to, is the lack of any form of critical thinking. People simply lack the intrinsic ability to sit and run internalized processes against external theories, such as our enumerated rights.
It is very often that I hear that there should "naturally" be a variety of opinion on the keeping and bearing of arms. We have an enormous scope of individuals within the movement, and on the forum, but at some point those of us that engage in open carry made the decision, based off of not just personal choice but highly mulled over, scientifically derived critical thinking.
The nation lacks this. Bigtime. We have become, even furher, a pop-culture driven, emotively based, consumption oriented, decision making entity.
What we need more than anything is the calm, collected, rational enforcement (not just passive opinion casting) of the very well considered, intensely debated, and eventually enumerated Bill of Rights. We do this on one hand by forcing the hand that reaches out to slap us (suing police departments, etc.), but that is merely one approach.
I am of course, not advocating civil war, but if history is an indicator, that path will find itself at some point in modern history.
There are other places to go to escape the "hypocrisy" of our nation. One doesn't have to go to Cuba, North Korea, Somalia or otherwise to merely leave the country. Other countries have it reasonably well too, so there is no need to cast our country as the only beacon of rationality in the world.
However, I would simultaneously agree that we have the most enumerated rights, regardless their enforcement and defense, in the entire civilized world.
The difference is, for somebody who is a thinker, the stench of hypocrisy, stupidity, gullability, and passivity can only be withstood for so long. Some other nations may not have it as well as we do, but they don't marginalize it or pretend to be the most free place in the world while they are at it.
This can be relieving to some minds, because it isn't like living in the middle of a feaux existence.
Another thing before I end this post.
It is so often that people with a lack of meaningful intellect, or those who simply feel they don't have time to put the effort or thought into these kinds of things, that they attack those who are most intelligent. This usually begins at grade school. "Nerd", etc. Right?
I am sure that Hawking, Einstein, Gates, Galileo, DaVinci, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and the like were all labelled nerds (I know for a fact at least 5 of them were), but their existence forever changed the world.
Philosophy and Sociological Theory are pretty important to the survival of our species, but so many people would rather meet up at the local bar and drink, while others worry about what kind of shirt they should buy, Armani or Versace.
So, I can understand why ixtow wants to escape if this is his situation. I have though intensively about simply retiring to some Mexican or even living in a bungalow somewhere here stateside, out of the range of normalized society.
C'mon fellas, its not like its not understandable.
One man against an army of people on both sides laughing as they collapse themselves into oblivion...
An un-pitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. I've been fighting for almost 20 years, always alone. I'm not giving up. I'm just accepting my mortality and the fact that no one else will lift a finger. I'm not going to win all by myself. It's just a fact. I have always been alone in this fight. No one wants to restore America. Lots of talk... Actions that further undermine it... I'm wasting my energy on something no one gives a damn about anymore. Why should I give my life for that? I'm the only one trying to breathe life into this place. Why?

...but you forgot to cue the overly dramatic piano score!
Hey metalhead47 Where do you get the extra emoticons from? They are so funny!
Usually pilfered in the dead of night from other forums that actually have a decent selection of smileys but not nearly as much amusing banter. View attachment 7539View attachment 7540
The best ones usually come from the Zuwharri zuki forum: bbs.zuwharrie.com
