so in college I learned of a band that sounded like reggae crossed with heavy metal. I love it. Band by the name of Skindred, I especially like the track on album “Babylon” named Pressure. SO cathartic.

wait… I’m not the only one who was driven nuts by how *boring* that book was? You too know the torture of sitting through WEEKS of reading that thing in high school when as a clever and bookish individual I […]

taking a sick day. fatigue, aches, just enough fever to make everything woozy…

yup. make tea, sleep lots, catch up on papers. I can do that.

Blue corn you guys. I would breed me some blue and green corn and enjoy every last kernel of it.

Time to get some Mendelian genetics on!

I’m with you on the victim-blaming, heaven forbid a lady should do anything remotely dangerous, a dude might just leap out of the bushes… it’s also dumb that women need to dress conservatively or what have you […]

science! XD

Hi! Thanks for getting you point of view out here, I appreciate it a lot.

I agree that safety training for new gun owners is a great idea. I too went through hunter’s safety as a teen, and the training has […]

Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate the fact that you came back to state your point of view more clearly–thank you.

As for the magazine thing, I see it more as a “why should we ban them?” question […]

What I’m getting at is that I think it is silly to punish the majority of law-abiding citizens with sweeping bans and restrictions rather than focusing on the small number of people who actually do these horrible […]

No, you are right, this is not meant to discuss US gun law. I was just dismayed that she seemed to portray all other US gun owners as crazy and that the NRA is somehow evil; as far as I could tell they were an […]

Hi there!

So how is passing more laws restricting the ownership of a certain item *not* going to affect those people who already legally own said item? Or folks who seek to own said item?

The author did […]

Definition time!

If you pull the trigger and the gun fires one bullet, it is a semi-automatic gun.
If you pull the trigger and the gun keeps firing until it is out of ammunition OR if it fires more than one […]

Hi there! I have experience operating both cars and guns legally, so hopefully I can help answer your questions.

There are federal regulations in place, and some things vary from state to state. For example, […]

Law-abiding citizens are, well, citizens who follow the laws. Criminals do not follow the laws. Explain to me how putting more laws in place somehow does not affect those who already follow the laws and punishes […]

Hi there! Sorry it’s been so long.

Thanks Annie for the input! Nice to hear from a fellow lady-gun-owner out here on the interwebs :)

tl;dr grew up with guns, SAFETY you guys, for fun and for protecting […]

Adult, female, legal gun owner here with my two cents from the other side. Going to stick with the laws I am familiar with, which means some federal laws and those from the state of MN.

1. Fully automatic […]

huh. when I was growing up, my mom, sister, and I would all sync up, so I always thought the idea had some weight to it. But everyone and their situations are all different… kind of nice that it’s not a […]
