I'd love for you to provide proof of that assertion.

I'll be waiting. :)

DHS DECLARES THAT SECOND AMENDMENT
SUPPORTERS ARE "RIGHTWING EXTREMISTS":
TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN REPORT!

Dear Concerned Citizen,

Did you know that your government considers you to be a "rightwing extremist?"

IT'S TRUE!

According to news reports, the Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," labeling citizens opposed to new firearms restrictions, returning veterans and conservatives as "rightwing extremists" and associating them with white supremacists and violent antigovernment groups.

You read that right -- it appears that the Obama Administration, and especially the DHS under Janet Napolitano, is trying to demonize political dissent. And it's no big surprise who's directly in their crosshairs: supporters of the Second Amendment, including veterans and gun owners.

Who is funding this kind of nonsense? Well, YOU are. Why would your government spend your money attacking YOU, instead of spending your money PROTECTING you?

This calls for grassroots action, on a HUGE scale!

TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENT
ATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!

The report also says that Congressional debates about immigration and gun control make extremist groups suspicious and give them a rallying cry:

"It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law; nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists," the report said.

Why are they worried? Because since November, more than 7 million people have applied for criminal background checks in order to buy weapons. And as far as the Obama administration is concerned, buying guns equals "weapons stockpiling," buying ammo equals "hoarding of ammunition," and expressing concern about Congress passing gun control legislation qualifies YOU as part of an "extremist group."

Therefore, you and I are now being viewed as dangerous rightwing extremists that law enforcement officials need to be watching out for!

This is OUTRAGEOUS!

TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENT
ATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!

This report was released "hot on the heels" of another (state) government agency report in February: the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report titled, "MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement." In this horrific "law enforcement sensitive" secret police report, Governor Jeremiah (Jay) Nixon; John Britt, Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety; James Keathley, Colonel, Missouri State Highway Patrol; and Van Godsey, Director of MIAC categorize certain citizens as being potential violence-prone "militia members."

According to the MIAC report, if you oppose any of the following, you could qualify for being profiled as a potential dangerous "militia member":

The United Nations
The New World Order
Gun Control
The violation of Posse Comitatus
The Federal Reserve
The Income Tax
The Ammunition and Accountability Act
A possible Constitutional Convention
The North American Union
Universal Service Program
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Abortion
Illegal Immigration

Well, there you have it! You see? You ARE a dangerous rightwing extremist!

As ridiculous as that report seems, it was distributed to law enforcement officials across the state of Missouri. And it wasn't until the state government was FLOODED with protests from patriotic Americans across the country, that they finally came out and denounced and retracted the MIAC document.

Now, it's happened again -- but this time, at the Federal level! Our own government is turning against us, and unless there is a HUGE outpouring of outrage from every part of this nation, it will just keep getting WORSE!

TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENT
ATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!

Interestingly enough, no left-leaning political ideologies were identified. No Islamic extremists. No environmental extremists. Only people holding "conservative" or "right-wing" philosophies were identified in BOTH the MIAC report AND the Homeland Security "assessment."

This shouldn't be too surprising: both of these reports are similar to several other reports currently circulating around various State police agencies, courtesy of DHS-sponsored "Fusion Centers." MIAC is one of those Centers, sponsored by the DHS!

So now, even veterans are targets of our own government: The Homeland Security assessment specifically says that "rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat."

PLEASE, don't think we're making a "big deal" out of nothing! Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban specifically told the press, "This is nothing unusual," and added that the Homeland Security Department did this "to prevent another Tim McVeigh from ever happening again."

The authors of this assessment are pushing an "Us against Them" philosophy. You and I are being marginalized -- labeled as fringe kooks, "rightwing extremists," so that it will be easier to violate our liberties and take away our right to keep and bear arms in the future.

The only thing that will put a STOP to this nonsense is a huge public outcry opposing it. If we do nothing, however, it will soon be too late to do anything. We either stop it NOW, or it will grow into an out-of-control monster that will monitor and control the personal opinions and speech of every man, woman, and child in this country.

Oh Boy. This is gonna 'troll' real fast methinks.

I believe in the right "to keep and bear arms" It was already decided as law in USA 240~ years ago. Without our squirrel rifles, the British Empire would still be America's governing body. I will go further by adding with the advent of Homeland Security today, and more Federal control trying to micromanage our personal lives, that the possesion of a gun by citizens may become more important. Thomas Jefferson worried that a big federal government would just become another monarchy. I do not posess my gun currently, having small children in my home. I will retrieve it when they leave, however.

The newest gun issue right now is actually the chokehold which anti-gun lobbyists are placing upon the aquisition of ammunition. If they can't disarm the population, they'll make getting bullets harder instead.The Obama administration is working toward a bill which classifies gun owners as right wing extremists in certain record keeping practices, also. Our Declaration of Independence includes this line:

"..That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government.."

I continue to hold to my gun, because should my government get 'destructive' on my people, I will not yeild to them simply because they command it. You know that there isn't any government body that would ever disarm itself, anyway, and criminals can get guns withoutany lawful considerations. So hate me all you want for this-but keep in mind that you are allowed to have your opinions without government regulation still. With or without a gun.

YIKES ! I started playing in the mid 1970's. Don't ask how many! You're free to snoop through my profile's game list, but I only own 112 titles. However, from those 112 I can say they are still in my collection for a good reason, although some of my systems aren't made anymore. I do own a functional NES still! (Old School)If you want me to pick just one, I'll easily tell you Populous; The Begining. (It's my avatar pic, also). That game is still my personal favorite.

Never been big on flight sims, but the one I do own (WW2) is called B-17 Flying Fortress [The Mighty 8th]. Have it for PC. Made by Micropose / Hasbro. You can fly different European Theatre aircraft (American or German) Either the Flying Fortress or its escort fighters, and an option to fly some German aircraft against them. I picked this game up in a bargain bin at GameStop, so it wasn't a big seller because it was a monstrous thing to learn to operate on a PC. I never found one for a console. Once you got the tedious controls down, especially for the B17,it played fairly well, IMO.

Well, you asked. That's all I have for WW2 flight sims though.

1. Has to be for a system I own. Won't buya new system just for one or two games.

2. Needs to have been around long enough that it is familiar to players (reveiws).I like themalready playedout, away from the hype.

3. Should have a solid majority of players who agreed upon it being good.

4. Because of all the above, it's usually a used game purchase, or in a bargain bin. I can get more of them this way.

Around 1976~ (mid 70'S anyway). Commodore 64 with 5" floppies. Fav game at time for me I can't recall the title (Martian Invasion?) Your lunar lander touched down and you had to find your abandoned crewmates from earlier failed misson, but there were martians around too-looking like your crew. The best memories came from Castle Wolfenstein, though. In 2D-it was like an arcade scroller, only the view was from above. Ha! can youimagine that?

Maybe 3x a week, but anymore that's getting to beway too much.

[QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"]well, I work in a daycare, and I know the daycare isnt the world, but the ones I have seen who kick their parents, same can be said of teens of today, spit on em, treat them like trash, and are spoiled to the max, havent had a good beat down. Parents are now afraid to discipled their child and its sad. I hat e seeing some spoiled brat talking to their mom in such a way and getting loud on them. Sometimes I wish the parent would just KO them right on the spot to remind them they are the parent and you are the child.-_Rain_-

There are two general types of discipline:

Authoritarian. This is the guy who goes "because I said so" whenever the child asks why. Unreasonable punishment, no particular reason to it (or if there is, then a half-ass explanation is given, if at all), typically the guy willing to lay out the belt just because "that's what mah daddy did and ah turned out just fahn."

Authoritative. This is the guy that goes "because when you hit people, they can hit you back and everyone will just end up hurting" when the child asks why his gameboy is being taken away for a week. The punishment is usually reasonable and a reason for the punishment exists beyond "because I said so."

Children raised under an authoritarian household are far more likely to end up sheltered, anxious and aggressive later in life. They won't be spoiled; they'll be scared. If they have children, they will most likely emulate their parents.

Children raised under an authoritative household are more likely to be neurotypical with fewer social problems. They might be a little spoiled, but not so much that they throw temper tantrums in the middle of the mall at seventeen. If they have children, they will most likely emulate their parents.

There are other, more liberal types of parenting, but they inevitably lead to spoiled brats. Authoritative is the best known form of parenting.

This is well put, butto avoid the inevitable argument this general-form question can generate, the question should be "In what situation should a child be spanked?", perhaps.

Last and Only time I disrespected a parent; "Hey Mom-you're full of s**t" Enter dad, WHAM!!! I am across the room on butt. I said owchies.

Without the walloop on me; "hey mom-you're full of s**t" Enter dad, "Now son, you need to have a time out" I said haha.

"Stop in the name of the law and release those hostages!""No" BLAM!! (headshot) -nicehit there, officer.

"Stop in the name of the law, and release those hostages!" "No" Alright then, we'll agree to your demands -if you start to play nice.

Famiking

waaa. you're right. I made a mistake- for posting an experiencedparental opinion in a Video Game website's troll thread. Never Again-my new GameSpot nik, maybe! Interesting that the majority of votes here were "Pro-Spanking".
