  1. Given the lack of any evidence for such a place I wouldn't worry myself over it.
  2. I wouldn't change a thing about the life I have led, it got me to the here and now, and I'm happy...
  3. Yes, it really does sound that good. I have pre-recorded tapes going back to the mid fifties, but mostly from the 60's and 70's some of them are extremely good, others not so much. The best of them are as good as any other media you could compare them to.
  4. The NRA is just a lobbying front for the arms industry. So, nothing much has to be said there. Arms makers want to make and sell more arms. They give NRA a pile of money, which NRA uses to bribe Congresspeople. Nothing important to be said. Our entire system is based on this formalized bribery. Congresspeople are not complicated. They want to stay in office because it's the greatest job in the world. It takes money to stay in, so whomever has the money is a friend to the congressperson. We need to get much deeper than that to understand our gun obsession. We get what we want, so why is it we want this? It obviously creates a massive benefit somewhere, right? It does create a massive benefit. A small number of rich people get massively richer, at the cost of the lives of the people they claim to be helping. Yup...It's a clever system...not fair..but clever.
  5. I never proposed a solution, am only pointing out that there's a bigger problem than the availability of guns. Blaming our forefathers on this is silliness. 1...I know you didn't, but I was simply asking for your solution. 2...Yes, now all we need is someone to point out what the problem is...not what it isn't. 3... I wasn't blaming our forefathers, but blaming those who interpret what they wrote or intended.
  6. If you're talking about the 2nd amendment, I don't agree with this if no other reason than the fact that other countries have guns and they get along just fine. Everybody tends to look at places where cool guns are banned when talking about other countries, such as England and Australia, but consider the UAE. There's guns everywhere at least among nationals. Kids are brought up using them, full auto AK-47's are common. And, they have the lowest violent crime in the world. No, really. So!! Therein lies the problem...."that other countries have guns and they get along fine".....So what's your solution?
  7. But it all sounds very good to the "masses"....That's what is so very clever about it.
  8. Would it be treacherous or un-patriotic for me to suggest that the founding fathers are to blame for this shit? People hold the constitution up like it is a holy book....either of which were written by men, who are fallible....But no, I don't think so, I think the problem lies in the way people like to interpret it, another similarity with holy books....No consensus will ever be reached. It's funny how people will yell and scream "It's in the constitution" when it suits their argument...But will say "F### the constitution" when it's held up as an argument against them.
  9. I totally agree with this....Mine never sounded so good as when they were paired with a quality amplifier...I run mine also as a stereo rig using Luxman seperates and 100+ watts, for Home Theatre I use a Harman Kardon AVR3600 receiver, while I found this receiver to be the best of anything I auditioned, it can't hold a candle to the Luxman for sound quality, the improvement is very apparent, especially in the low end.
  10. I would whole heartedly recommend the RF5 at $600 if in nice condition. Mine are paired up with RB5's for surround and an RC7 centre. The real cherry veneer is a beautiful finish on them.
  11. Don't these things also exist in other countries?
  12. Try looking at those figures in a different way....Unbelievable that someone would try to skew a favorable view from that....
  13. Many vintage receivers have passed thru my system, only three have remained in my possession thru out the years....HK 730, HK 630 and my trusty Marantz 2045 (champagne faceplate).
  14. I was lucky enough to see Hendrix as a kid in the UK, he played the Civic Hall in Grays, Essex on February 14th 1967. My sister has Hendrix, Mitchell and Reddings autograph signed together and also a machine head off of the guitar he smashed and also set alight. It was a night to remember as a 16 year old.
  15. Went to a yard sale just because it was just around the corner from me. This was in the free box because the remote was lost. I took it, I thought to myself it's free, what have I got to lose, and I need a new player on my deck? Turns out it's quite a good find....
  16. When it comes to cars the name Hyundai still sends shivers thru my spine...Glad to see they have improved.
  17. Age before beauty...or shit before the shovel...
  18. I don't need to volunteer it...It's a given...as is your space...
  19. It may be a good idea Dave, but the poll that you started says the majority want to regain control...Find another cause, there are plenty of souls to be saved by other means...Not that this planet needs more souls.
  20. Yeah, there's a few of us saying the same thing....one side is right, and the other side is claiming it. John
  21. C'mon Dave what did you expect, there are enough things being foisted upon us, and taking away from our freedoms...And here you are trying to gauge support for yet another thing to take responsibility away from the individual. Look it's pretty tough on the suicyclist who gets killed, but life itself is dangerous, where would you stop this insanity? Heck man I wouldn't want to bring up a kid in the kind of world that it seems you would like. If this seems like an over-simplification to you then stop thinking so darn hard, buy a motorcycle and enjoy the breeze and the freedom.
  22. Oh yes I'm with the MAJORITY...Let all of them who want it stand in front of one...
  23. LOL....plus a fee to avoid lamp-posts, sheep on the highway, etc etc....
