Sounds like abandonment of your homies lives for profit to me.
Whatever it takes to keep the graft flowing on both sides of the pond.

I would think that more ukes are going to learn to speak Russian willingly or not.

If my government turned thier back on me (to that extent) I would probably chose to replace it.

Oh, my bad. That's what started this in the first damn place.

Putin would have probably stopped with the Russian speaking oblasts and called it a win for him and "his" people. I would bet on it.

But no it was "operation stuff my offshore bank account " from the onset.

Sad that I don't see my "arch enemy" the commie basterds as the bad guys in all this. Maybe the Russian cyops team has spiked my coffe.

It seems our efforts would be better spent in Mexico and South America killing cartels weather thier crooked ass governments like it or not. Maybe thier people would go back home where they belong on thier own.

We have more important battles to fight on our own continent than any other place on the planet.

Not stating that you were complaining man, just reinforcing in myself why I physically put my hands on everything that I determine to be a factor in accuracy.

I have a Bergara with the heavy barrel for sale if you are interested!

"We hold to the 1689 London Baptist confession. To view our statement of faith follow the link below."

I am ignorant of Baptist ideology, but do know many 3rd generation Mayflower Families chose it over the First Congressional Church.

There are multiple Baptist ideologies, as some churches are adopting more modern views of the world. I would guess that is probably common in most denominations, as I was watching a video yesterday as to what has happened to the United Methodist Church regarding homosexuality etc... and I would be willing to bet that some churches (hopefully) walked away from them.

I think that trying to find two completely aligned views among churches is probably more difficult than finding two identical snowflakes... which only further adds to the hypocrisy that a lot of churches have become a symbol of. A quick search of stuff like the Pentacostals will see separation over apostolic beliefs (people who babble in "tongues"), and the charismatic movement started from them too.

Basically, the 1689 confession laid the groundwork for what all of the 'sub-denominations' of the Baptist faith used to be. Then, over time you had small divisions over stuff like predestination/Calvinism etc... etc... I guess the closest group of Baptists still holding onto the 1689 confession might be the "reformed Baptists" - of which I would say that as an independent - I am most closely aligned with. However, I don't hold onto a lot of the cult-like beliefs that the Botkin family apparently does.

No dancing. No drinking. At least, that’s what you tell people. Lots of “bless your heart” and “he needs Jesus.”

Little known fact… Footloose was a documentary.

Why do the liquor stores in the south open at noon on Sunday?

Because that’s when the Baptist church lets out.

What’s the difference between a Baptist and a Catholic?

A Catholic will say ‘hi’ to you at the liquor store.

Got a laugh out of that. In many cases, you aren't wrong.

Never understood the "no drinking or dancing" crowd. Literally there are many examples of that in the Bible. I've had the "Bertha better than yous" make stupid comments along this line before too. My response question is always: What was Jesus' first miracle? John 2:1-12. Drunkenness is a different story.

About the Botkins. I don't know where this will end up, and all we are probably ever going to get are partial truths. It sucks that their personal lives got opened up over the internet for all of us to witness, and it sucks more that they will probably never be able to make amends with each other fully.

I have two brothers that hate each other, even though they grew up in the same house together. It is bad... Like 40 year olds fist fighting and mudhole stomping in the front yard bad (although my oldest brother had it coming). Crap like this not only affects the current generation of family, but possibly future generations as well. The one that it hurts most is our dad, but since dad was something of an asshole himself to all of us he kind of sowed that seed and now gets to reap the harvest. This might be the case with the old grandmaster Botkin too.

Disbarred but he will still be on the hook for student loans

This is a cool thread.

My gun story is about my dad. Dad was a kid in Italy during WWII. They lived near Monte Cassino and his mom died during the Battle of Monte Cassino. She heard the whistle of a bomb and threw dad under a stone bench. He survived but she died when the bomb leveled their house. Dad was raised by multiple people in the town. His formal education was only up to the 5th grade. He saved enough money for a boat ride to Venezuela. He worked there for 3 years and saved enough for another boat ride to NY. There he enlisted in the army and served in Korea. He did well for himself, using the skills he learned in the army to become a sought after operating engineer.

Dad always talked about his M1. He remembers miserably failing his rifle qualifications. Paraphrasing the drill sergeant, "You guinea dumbass--you're closing the wrong eye!" (LOL-I think he did that again in the photo below.) Dad never handled a rifle before enlisting. After getting chewed out (and corrected), he had the top qualifying score in the group and earned a weekend pass. I heard this story every Christmas dinner for decades.

It became a goal of mine to get an M1 in dad's hands again. I got my FFL03 and ordered a M1 Special from the CMP. (Side note--I lived in the people's republic of massachusetts at the time--I took special pleasure in getting the rifle delivered direct to my house). Dad came to visit and I put the rifle in his hands.



He was in his eighties and was getting forgetful. At first, he did not recognize it. Then he put it to his shoulder and gave a big grin. He was so happy. "It's my M1!!!" Then I heard his qualification story again. His stories would be like hitting the play button on the tape recorder. He wouldn't stop until he reached the end. I miss that now. The next day we went to the range. He shot until we were out of ammo.


I think about that weekend every time I go to the range myself. Dad had a stroke a year later and passed soon after that. After everything he has done for others all of his life, it is one of my life highlights to have given him that special moment.

Damn allergies....

Drink alcohol to regret, not forget!

If this falls through, let me know and I'll take it.

Finally watched Downfall a couple of days ago. Sounds familiar.

I shoot red dots on carbines from 0-200 regularly, sometimes 300 (all 12" targets) although more often than not I'll have a 6x magnifier on if I'm shooting to 300. With an Eotech EXPS 3-2 (so double dot reticle) I routinely shoot out to 500 using a 6x magnifier.

I only had two beers.

Most common lie ever?

Doesn’t matter if it’s a lie or not. Admitting to two beers, even “low alcohol” over a time span, is an admission of drinking, and gives cause for further work up.
