Task Force had a good matrilinial marriage that resulted in the destruction of his family, he tried to assassinate his wife but killed himself instead and then he was eaten by Mongols. :yep:

You know, the only thing the OP wants are views and posts; the content of which are not important. He will see the fact that this thread has gone to four pages and 600+ views as a victory, and will give him cause to do it again.

Just sayin'.

True, but on certain subjects, particularly that of gun control, people are always going to post and there are going to be certain members who will unwittingly (or otherwise) spiral into a heated debate about the said subject, thus given us four pages of anger and snide comments, instead of four pages of talk about an excellent Paradox Interactive game. Well, ok, two pages of Hunter attempting to be a redneck, and two pages of talk about an excellent Paradox Interactive game.

Unless Yubbas threads are locked on entry then there will be views and posts, the best victory I think we can get out of it is to derail it utterly.

Post history can show you that this simply isn't true. For a better example, look at Vendor. People finally wised up to the fact that he was after exactly the same thing as yubba; a person that also measured his success in replies and views. People stopped replying to his super controversial current events topics, and so for the past few weeks we haven't been drowning in pages of Vendorspam. Same thing here.

Or, maybe you guys are just happy this way. Then forget what I said. Always give the people what they want, no?

You do have a point, I shall stop here.

I never understood those people who are so afraid that the government will take away their guns, but then create a papertrail like that.

Does the NRA still sell insurance where you had to list the guns you wanted to insure?

Just because someone is an NRA member doesn't mean they actually own firearms.

Good point, but Yubba and Vendor in the same ilk?

Vendor is alot tamer. Yubba is one of those guys that are outright honest.

I do not think either are famewhores, they are what they are.


Just like when I spout my crap, I am not post counting, I am simply conveying my thoughts.

With all due respect daimyo-sama (and I know you dislike me, so I expect you not to listen) but both serve a need here, to invoke discussions, which is exactly what this thread is doing.

Good day, and great for your Eagles with the Reid Firing, the Chiefs deserve him, and Philly deserves better.:salute:


On guns? ...My cold dead hands, as Charlton Heston once said.

Now mind you he may not make sense to you or me, but he makes sense to himself. No need to invalidate his opinion.

Try debating his points rather than mocking him...

Ohhh, gotcha!


You can't can you?

You see Yubba as thread originator, and get your jokebook out, alot of you do. He barely defends himself, but I will defend him, and I typically do not agree with him in most things.

Yeah, I am white knighting to no benefit to myself other than ridicule, bring it on.

You won't get ridicule from me. Well said.
