Actually, here in the UK, we have always had just as much paranoia. People can no longer protest outside parliament, we have the most CCTV to landmass in Europe and, for a while, security or police forces can detain you if you take photos in shopping centres.
Jet, I too am interested in the anecdotal evidence that you think dismisses 200 years of unbiased study, which has amassed a mountain of empirical evidence. What miracles have you witnessed? Don't get me wrong, if I sound sarcastic it is likely due to the ignorance that, frustratingly, many who...
So he predicts a civil war in... 9 months. Yeah. I don't think this possible with the patriotism present in the USA or in such a small time-span. I think their unity is a little stronger than that and it's funny how this guy's ideas fit perfectly with Putin's vision. Maybe he needs a promotion...
I'm sorry I don't happen to see what you see in your hobby. Would it make you feel better if it did? :cheese:
All I'm saying is that I personally don't see why people would collect such a thing? You explained why you wished to do so. I don't like guns. My opinion. Your free to disagree with...
You obviously know more about guns, replicas etc. so I'll trust you on the latter point.
However, the world does evolve largely around utility. At least it does for me. Everything that I want and need usually has a function. Its function is what gives me pleasure, but this is all for another...
We could argue semantics as to what "replica" means if you like? ;)
And and as you so intelligently observed, my opinion is of no consequence to anything, as I have mentioned several times already. I was simply wondering why he would want such a thing, as I didn't see the need. He explained...
I didn't say they needed a reason. I said I did, and as I reiterated numerous times that is how I feel, personally. Plus when somebody posts on an internet forum, generally they are going to have to understand that some people won't be able to feel the same as them on numerous subjects.
And...
Yes I have. Then I realized that it was money down the pan and felt the sudden urge to tighten nooses around those little beanie-babies, delicate, soft necks and hanged them. That was a lesson to all those other money-grabbing cuddly toys with those puppy dog eyes... Yeah. That showed them...
Like I said. I couldn't give a rats ass if you are doing it or not. I was simply saying I don't see the purpose of it. Just as collecting stamps seems like a waste of time to me, guns/replicas are the same.
Sounds like your brother collects movie paraphernalia rather than simple gun replicas.
Anyways, I don't think he has something morally wrong with him. I don't think he is going to go on a mad rampage or anything, I just personally don't see the point and was wondering as to what people see in...
No... But they're replicas of something which is. At least if you like guns that shoot, you know they have a purpose. What exactly is the point of replicas? So you can feel hard and admire the craftsmanship?
