I'm planning on buying a glock 19, i've delliberated quit a bit on it. I like that ammo is affordable, readily avalible, relatively low recoil, and has substanitial ballistic performance. also the 15 round clip is a plus, I plan on stacking it w/ 2fmj, 2hp, 2fmj, 3hp, 1 fmj, 1wc, 3hp, 1wc. I don't plan on keeping a round in the chamber because though I know the glock is safe from my mistakes I don't want it to fire if someone else manages to get their hands on it and pulls the trigger. It will be my first personal gun, I'm getting it for 2 main reasons; 1, I'm a bartender and walk home late at night hopefully with a good deal of cash in my pocket; 2, I think it is likely that at some point in my lifetime $hit is going to "hit the fan" no better time than the present to start working towards proficiency with a tool of self defence. So I've thought all that out, my question here is; what does the compensator do exactly? am I better with it or without it? the $30 differnce is no concern.

1) I would say Alexander the Great would be the one who falls in the ground in 50 seconds.

2) General Maximus would fall next in 1 min & 30 seconds.

3) Achilles would be next to fall on 4 mins & 50 seconds.

3) Winner King Leonidas would be the victor. With wounds & one lose eye.

After 2 years of lies and coverup in the case of Jean Charles DeMenenzes unlawful killing by anti-terrorist police on the London underground it seems the truth might now be emerging with the acknowledgement that he was neither dressed in a jacket potentially concealing a bomb, did not run or jump over a barrier, and was not challenged by police before being summarily executed by police on a London underground train. He was an innocent man sitting on a train reading a paper on his way to work.

Written statements made by the police at that time totally contradict the facts which indicate a deliberate attempt to coverup their incompetence, unlawful killing hence deliberatley perverting the course of justice.

Of the months of surveilance and so called intelligence reports and the eleven officers involved how could something like this happen, and why has no one been brought to task for his death. It could not have been simply a trajic mistake.

Incompetence or cavalier policing?

The major party in taiwan is the Developing Democratic Party and the. The DDP insists that taiwan should have the right to be a country since it has a government, army, navy, and even a S.W.A.T. team. Also they have elections every 4 years. On the other hand China aa communist country declares taiwan as a province of China and threatens to invade taiwan if taiwan doesnt declare themselves as part of china. So is taiwan a free country or a territory thats about to wage war between a country that wants independance and a communist country that wants war in asia?

Red Fridays.

Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority." We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that .. every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent"
majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is. "We need your support and your prayers." Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

I was reading in the newspapers this morning that the war in Iraq is now costing the US $4000 a second working out at over $126 Billion a year. This is a staggering amount of money which is being simply wasted in order to pursue the NeoCons dreams of global conquest. Think about how many schools and hospitals could be built with this money, instead it is being used to bringeven more death and destruction to Iraq

Take a look at the numbers below and then ask why we didn't hear about the service deaths when they passed 1000, 2000 or more in the years previous to our being involved in a war.



As tragic as the loss of any soldier is, consider this: below is a list of deaths of soldiers while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2004:

FIGURES ARE CONFIRMED ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SITE
1980 2,392
1981 2,380
1982 2,319
1983 2,465
1984 1,999
1985 2,252
1986 1,984
1987 1,983
1988 1,819
1989 1,636
1990 1,507
1991 1,787
1992 1,293
1993 1,213
1994 1,075
1995 1,040
1996 974
1997 817
1998 827
1999 796
2000 758
2001 891
2002 999
2003 1,410 534*
2004 1,887 900*
2005 919*
2006 920*

* Figures are Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom fatalities only

Now, are you confused when you look at these figures? I was. Especially when I saw that in 1980, during the reign of President Carter "Nobel Peace Prize" himself, there were 2,392 military fatalities of U.S.soldiers.

What this clearly indicates is that our media and our liberal politicians pick and choose. They choose NOT to present the facts.

Another fact our left media and politicians like to slant is that these brave men and women losing their lives are minorities. The latest U.S. Census shows the following:
European descent (white) 69.12%
Hispanic 12.5%
African American 12.3%
Asian 3.7%
Native American 1.0%
Other 2.6%

Now, the fatalities over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom are:
European descent (white) 74.31%
Hispanic 10.74%
African American 9.67%
Asian 1.81%
Native American 1.09%
Other 2.33%

Hmm.......

All we hear is how our average citizens have to live in fear because terrorists are jealous of our lifestyle. I don't buy it. No one on earth would want my weekly schedule or choose to kill unimportant people like average American kids. To think otherwise is just an ego trip being played on you. You just aren't that important, nor am I. A terrorist worth his salt would go after the "important" people, not a nobody. It's a scam based on a false premise that strokes average joe's ego while he looks for work.

Imagine if bin Laden and all his men were secretly hiding inside the U.S. Wouldn't you be scared of a terror attack? Well what's the difference between that, and all these hateful anti-American liberals who are already in this country? They've been spewing so much anti-American hate lately it has become scary just to go to Yahoo answers! Think about it. Liberals share the same views as al-Qaida on Bush, our government, Christianity, America, Israel, and Britain. Liberals and terrorists also agree that al-Qaida in Iraq and other foreign insurgents are "freedom fighters defending their nation against the invasion of evil America." We've heard that Bush was the mastermind of 9/11, that he's worse than Hitler. We've heard that he and Dick Cheney should be impeached and executed. We've heard that America has no business "policing the world," should get out of all Muslim countries, and America is to blame for 9/11 due to siding with Israel. Have liberals become domestic terrorists?
