In other words, you participated in the totally unjust and unrighteous US invasion of Panama?! OMG. That is certainly nothing to be proud about!

Not that I want to get into a political argument, but that was 1989, a few years before that.

What was your point then? That life in the United States is like Panama jungles? I'm sorry, but it isn't. But it can be like the inner city ghetto of large US cities. We were referring to gun control in the United States, were we not?

My point is you have no idea what your'e talking about and the fantasy land crap you are spewing is spewing forth quite clearly from a source that has no grounding in reality. I haven't said word one about gun control, I was telling you about locks. Or are you too caught up in your rhetoric to realize that fact? In fact, if you are some place I am going to be, soon, I will be happy to give you a demonstration as to just how ineffective your lock is, assuming you give me permission.

Is that avatar picture you? I suppose you're one of those guys that other hikers/mountaineers laugh at out in the backcountry - the guy with the gun and bowie knife on his leg - is that what you're like?

Yes, that's me in the avatar... and if you had even the slightest clue what you're talking about, you'd realize that's a camera bag on my back, I'm in a t-shirt and I'm standing at the top of one of the nice Australian rainforests. In that camera bag, I have a Canon 5dMkII and a bunch of lenses, it weighs about 30 pounds. There is no knife, nor a gun anywhere in the vicinity.

Nice try though, care to comment more and make an even bigger ass out of yourself?
