I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I posted this, went and took a shit, and when I refreshed the page it had 50 replies and had been locked. How it was received was not how it was intended. I came in swinging and trying to bust people's balls, but I guess I need to establish myself before doing that. The background for this is that many of the discussions I see on here remind me a lot of the "Thanksgiving" discussions I have with my dad. He is a very mainstream right wing guy, and I am decidedly more libertarian. I think if I had phrased it in this way it would have been a lot less upsetting. A little about me. I am a tanker, and it is in fact the best job I have ever had. I grew up bowhunting whitetail south of Atlanta and have shot guns since I was little. I bought my first AR, a DDM4V5, after graduating college and I love shooting. I found ARFCOM a while back and I love it, my wife said the other day "All you do all day is look at pictures of guns, stop torturing yourself." Nope. So I apologize for what I said and how it came off, and would take it back if I could. I hope people will forget this in time. I am the furthest thing from a troll, and am absolutely not a reincarnation of some long dead asshole. |

No one will forget it,especially Deej.
He remembers everything. Except you. |

Saw "Apology for yesterday" in the thread title and "cowboy" in the username and thought BarstowCowboy was trying to come back already.

1. Right-wing republicans- Practically all of the old people, most of the LE guys, and many of the military guys. If you are military and old, guaranteed you are here A. Says things like: "Is it radical to support the constitution?" "Men and women have died fighting for our freedom..." "Judges are too easy on criminals and too hard on the police..." "Why don't we just build a wall?" "Disrespecting the American flag should be a crime" "The Patriot Act and the NSA helps stop terrorists..." "Edward Snowden is a traitor..." B. You are on ARFCOM bc you grew up with guns, and made the jump to ARs either through your LE/Military job or around 2000. Before that you only had bolt guns bc "ARs are inaccurate." You think the 2nd amendment is the most important in the bill of rights. 2. Libertarians of different flavors- Some hard, some soft, some minarchist, some anarchist. Practically all of the young people, some of the LE guys, many of the military guys. A. Says things like: "Why don't we legalize marijuana?" "Police have too much power..." "Iraq was a stupid war..." "The federal reserve x & y..." "The TSA is an abomination..." "I think the Constitution is overrated..." B. You are on ARFCOM because you grew up with bolt guns and maybe a Marlin .22, but like ARs bc you are convinced that there is going to be a revolution and you are going to need it for fighting in it. C. You were introduced to libertarianism by Ron Paul, but pretend you have been around it for a lot longer. Am I right or am I wrong? View Quote |

It's unsafe to make any assumptions here. They will inevitably be wrong. The only exception to this rule is "Them". If you've really lurked here as long as all that, you know who they are. You can always depend on them to live up the stereotype.

View Quote that was a good thread. |

Apology threads generally result in some asshattery. Just he name of the game. Roll with the punches and it will all blow over eventually.
Deej really does remember everything, though. |

Damn!! I missed it... That's what I get for not coming to GD all that much any more.
|
|
Never apologize.
It's luck chuming in shark infested waters. Post a pic of your girl and get on with it. |
|
Dam. If you started a thread on here with your first post and it was locked your probably headed for some type of legendary status here. Maybe even site staff eventually. |
|
|
Better get some thick skin here. Someone will call you out on anything so be prepared to defend your position.
Especially being a teener. |
|
I missed that thread (probably working outside like a peasant farmer) but I'll accept the apology anyway.

Seems everyone is a little too sensitive, lately. |

I have never made a mistake, so I am unsure of what this "apology" thing is. But o.k., accepted. Surviving in GD is like kicking out your windshield, wrapping your car in chicken wire with a railroad tie for a bumper and then gunning it.
NEVA LOOK BACK |

I like to say this as kindly as possible ... liberals are leading this nation down a path we will never recover from.......

Not to get personal, but you seem ............................ wishy-washy.

Most people here have short memories. Just lay low for a little and everything will blow over.

If I got to play with a tank like that one, I'd probably have a big shit-eating grin, too.
