America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
Published on August 21, 2007 By Moderateman In Current Events

While it's not hunting season for any kind of serious game yet, before my surgery I need to get out in the woods and just kill something, maybe a bunny or a birdie or a squirrel, anything will do right now.

While my preferred game has always been another armed human, this is against the law except in war time and since I am not a member of the armed forces and not in a war zone, hunting another human is a huge no-no. darn it.

So I have cleaned up my 22.250 mounted a small 4X scope on it and set some rules for myself, no shots to be taken under 100 yards. Only one round loaded at the time. If I miss the one shot the target gets to live another day. If I wound it, I will load another round and finish the deal.

So look out bouncer, look out screwy, and woody, here I come ready or not.

Don't you people know a joke when you see one? Why so sensitive?


Go back and read what you wrote from the perspective of someone other than yourself. There is absolutely nothing there to indicate humor as opposed to sarcasm or derision. You have to remember than words alone do not communicate tonal qualities or body language. That's why we have emoticons to help communicate these things, otherwise people will take such comments in the wrong way.

also have a nice assortment of weaponry. Mine includes not only a broad range of firearms from .223 to .50 but edged weapons as well. Hell I even have a belt buckle that is a fully functional .25.


first I believe charles was being funny not mean minded.
second one of my favorites is an over and under .41 derringer so small it almost disappears in my hands. 10 feet and under someone is in BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG trouble.

I did notice I did not put one of those smiley faces that could have helped with the "tonal qualities or body language". My bad.

Just to let you know, I tend to joke often when the conversation is not a heated debate. Kinda in my nature, hard to control.

Yeah, I got that now. Like I mentioned above, without anything to indicate a tone words alone can be read any number of ways.

Yeah I'm pretty fond of my little .38 Derringer.

Charles, I recall you raining on someone's joke recently when it was posted in the "Humor" section. I'm not so sure why you are so defensive and calling Mason here being 'sensitive' when you did the same thing. I'm not saying this to create a quarrel but to just make you aware (if you weren't already).

I would suggest that you find ways to point out that you are joking such as j/k, emoticons, etc...

It's not nearly as funny when you have to tell everyone it's funny.

I am telling you all someone needs to come up with a font that substitutes for sarcasm, or humor.

See? I don't even remember if I was being sarcastic or serious.

MaYbE If wE TyPeD lIkE ThIs! it would work for sarcasm.

Too much effort. If I wanted to put effort into it, I'd research and make clear, concise points, not be sarcastic.

Humor section? I haven't been there in years. Either you have the section wrong or the person wrong. I did the same? I'm comfused here. I usually notice a joke when I see one and would only complain if the joke was actually insulting, kinda like the way Col gene does it. Otherwise I am not that sensitive to jokes. Takes more than a joke to get me upset.

Hey Charles, you are right I had you mixed up with someone else. My deepest apologies.
