Is it safe to assume that Americans who purchase Assault Weapons like an AK-47 have no intention of using the assault weapons to assault other human beings with, just used to assault empty beer cans and small woodland animals with?
Assault weapons in America are not used for assaults on other Americans, so why not just call them Recreational Plinkers or something like that?
It’s like my Uncle 20 years ago, he bought a shoulder mounted rocket launcher on the black market and when I asked him “who you gonna blow up with that Uncle?” he said “Nobody, this is a Gopher Eradicator, not a rocket launcher.” I said “oh,ok”.
How did the assault rifle get that name anyway? What was it created for? And really, people who think they should be allowed to have a secret and private arsenal of ASSAULT weapons are not people the Government, entrusted to protect LAW ABIDING American citizens, should be checking up on?
Really, you are my neighbor and you see me sneaking dozens of assault weapons and dozens of clips into my house and you won’t stick your nose into my business?
Of course not, I am white.
Agree or disagree?

I know that this is traditionally affiliated and intended to train people for the Virginia militia. But now a days has the focused changed? Is the intention more on preparing the cadets for a branch of the military? And how is the uniform worn at this school? Is there a differential between the different ROTC branches uniforms? And is all training together or what

Because of my view of Islam my parents think i’m becoming an extremist because I think pictures, tv ,music, certain soap is haram etc. while they’re more lenient and think many rulings were of “zaman moayan” ie. almost everything is halal as long as you have good intention/almost everything has an excuse. I love them but things are becoming difficult for me.
Okay so basically My parents won’t let me pray sunna salahs and qada salahs (from years past) (because they believe the amount of time I spend praying daily is making me fall behind in school/make me anti-social/) and I have about a week of qada (of sunnah and qada) salah to make up. I’ve been thinking of methods to make them up without my parents knowing, for instance I pray during lunch time, but I can normally only make up one salah, maybe two and when my parents are out etc. I’ve been trying to pray in bed, but sometimes I accidentily sleep + sometimes I don’t have wadu and if I make wadu after isha my parents get suspicious. I have also been setting my alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night, but my mother sometimes unplugs my alarm clock when I’m not looking. Is it okay to do “secret salah” in whatever means possible? like sitting in the car, pretending to do homework/reading a book, while in stores and super markets pretending to be in “another section” make small motions with my body and then cut salah whenever my parents talk to me? my father has ” ‘adaytny dag” several times, and one time even got out a “sikeen” when he was really mad but my mom convinced him to put it away. Is it okay for me to do it faster than usual? Read surat Al-fatiha without pausing? Isn’t it wajb? Any exceptions because of circumstances?
ps. I also want to make qada for some years I didn’t fast but after fasting 5 days in a row my parents physically force me to eat. Is my fast valid if I have intention to fast but my circumstances prevent me? So far for the past 2/3 weeks or so I have been fasting every single day and don’t eat unless my parents force me to eat
p.p.s I realise that I am making qada for sunnah, but that’s a personal decision, even if I don’t have to I want to.

Posted on 11 April 2012. Tags: Chiefs, contract, Crossrate, Date, Eod, fall semester, full time, intention, navy eod, pst, pullups, pushups and situps, recruiters, time and money, time hours
I have a really important question. I am currently in Navy DEP since July 2011with an EOD contract and original intention is to go SEAL. I switched from regular contract to getting EOD so that I can extend my shipping date and have more time to work on the swim portion of the pst and get it under 8:00-8:30
I was told I was allowed to switch to SEAL when my numbers get drafted (pst scores improving) so I took the EOD contract s so I have more time to work on that swim. now I most likely would have gotten a SEAL contract the first time, however, taking full time hours at school during fall
semester AND this semester I only have so much time to work out after setting hours aside to study after being at school all day. if im lucky I have time to swim 2x per week not everyday like I would want to. I have the other areas set run at sub 9:00, pushups and situps above 80, pullups going from 13-15, but swim is around 9:20
I was told by many of the recruiters at my station that I can crossrate after finishing EOD school and taking the pst test for SEAL but with way higher standards and 18 months after finishing the school. a couple of them told me I don’t have to wait 18 months because the 14 months of EOD school covers the enlistment length but instead 4 or 6 months. one of the chiefs I spoke to the other day told me that as long as I were to get really great scores on the pst after EOD training then I really wouldn’t have a problem crossrating. but then I come across some SEAL websites online saying that I cannot become a SEAL once I am an EOD because of time and money used to train EOD and how it is way undermanned. my recruiters are telling me I can still crossrate but after EOD training. the nsw affiliated websites I found state that I would have to do my entire term of EOD (my contract is 5-6years. I am about to be 22) before going SEAL. that means I would be borderline age limit AND I am sure I would not get picked up right away making it possible I miss my 28th birthday deadline. I do NOT want to miss out on becoming a SEAL. like I said I got an EOD contract to extend my ship date, did not have enough time to workout, or especially swim, as much as I wanted to and this past February I missed a deadline stating anybody with a specwar contract in the navy has til the end of february to switch contracts. my pst scores at the time were 9:20, 75, 75, 12, and 8:57 . so obviously would have been alot better without being in school full time and being able to swim everyday, working out 2x 5-6 days perweek, and staying consistent with my track/xc experience.
so my question is: Can I really crossrate from EOD to SEAL? if so when and how?
and if I cannot. I finish my semester in less than a month then no school after that. if I were to leave DEP (I ship out a week into may) to use 1 1/2 – 2months to get in the shape I wouldve been in several months ago , and citing these reasons and explaining how serious I am of becoming a SEAL and giving my detailed information of this whole long paragraph I just wrote, my other question is:
Would I be allowed back in the navy and be able to do the SEAL challenge?
at that point I can definitely pass with flying colors because I would have no school and time to do my normal workout routine.
as I said I am quite serious about this and probably shouldn’t have done full time school, however, I understand you cannot go back to school for a really long time after becoming specwar so I wanted to get as much done as possible before leaving. its not like I would leave DEP and never return. at least I wouldn’t be having the navy use money, time, and space in a class to train me in EOD which is not what I truly want to do. If I were to get a waiver for DEP re-entry would I be allowed to get a SEAL challenge? I am passionate about becoming a SEAL and I am quite serious about needing some time to fully commit to more rigorous swimming and pullup schedule. I would not let down my second chance on joining should I get a waiver for DEP re-entry.

A Windows Microsoft company gave me a call and suggested to help me remove malicious files on my PC. I was vigilant at first but as they claimed to be affiliated with Microsoft i of couse said why not, I can always hang up if something’s fishy.
I’d never gotten a call from Microsoft, at least not that i’m aware of but i don’t know, anyway. The directed me to www.windowspcsecurity.com (safe?) and had me Connect to Tech Support; I wasn’t too sure what it meant but it gave them access to my computer and with that they explained the sources to certain problems on my PC and such.
Come the end they referred me to their website onestopplus which i KNOW has a bad reputation, i had No idea this was their intention and after seeing the prices i passed.
I shut down my computer and now i’m wondering if thats enough to revoke their access to my computer?

Posted on 30 January 2011. Tags: Australia., call, gay male, guy, hottest guy, intention, kicker, little bit, lol, person, relationship, relationships, text, these girls, two minutes
Gay male in my early 20’s here. A few weeks ago, I met this guy. At first I never would’ve considered getting involved with him cause he lives nearly 2 hours away but we have so much in common, more than probably with anyone I’ve ever known. We started talking all day every day, and he made no secret of the fact that he really likes me and was falling for me. He’d keep telling me I’m the hottest guy he’s ever seen, I’m amazing, he’s never felt like this before. I thought it was really sweet, but at times, veered off into feeling a little bit too much like idolization (For example, I’m an actor and he watched a movie I was in and told me “You first come on screen two minutes and 42 seconds in”). Anyway though, we began seeing each other. He came here, then I went there, and we both kept saying how much we like each other. But here’s the kicker…he’s leaving for Australia next week and doesn’t come back until June! However, he’s kept talking about our plans for when he gets back and the summer and stuff – even mentioned us living together (yet we’ve never really talked about what we are, if we’re officially in a relationship or what)
So last night, we’re texting and he tells me loves me (which he hadn’t directly said before) and then tells me to check Facebook. He sent me a message, which I found VERY strange. It was saying about how he’s happy that he’s leaving because he’s crazy about me and he knows that if he were staying, he’d push me away because that’s what he does with people. He said that because he’s “always gotten screwed over” in his previous relationships, that’s all he knows (He’s only been out of the closet recently and has never been with a guy before. He’s only dated girls – all of whom he deceived into believing he was straight. So I find it a bit hard to swallow that he supposedly got so screwed over by these girls). He then said that I shouldn’t wait for him (As if I had ANY intention of doing so) and said that while he’s away, he’s gonna be dating guys who he can make these mistakes with because they don’t mean as much to him as I do and said that when he gets back, he’s gonna call “the only person he’s ever loved” and that I should expect that call.
This message bothered me a little – I didn’t like how he was whining about getting “screwed over” and pushing people away, I also didn’t like having to hear about all the guys he’s gonna hook up with – but I thought maybe I was being irrational and I’d let it go. Then he keeps texting me and asking if I got it. I said “I did. So am I really the only person you’ve ever loved? hehe ;)” He writes back saying “Psh yeah! I mean well, I haven’t been on the market long but still” …Not so much the answer I wanted to hear. His whole demeanor felt different. So I “jokingly” wrote back saying “Oh you’d probably say that to any guy who was here lol” So he writes back saying “Well I love everything I know about you and being with you. It’s too soon for I love you’s though now that I think about it [Um who’s the one person who said that though?! Not me!!]. I could be hooking up with lots of guys that are closer!” That was it, I was really mad! I didn’t respond and then like an hour later, I get another text saying “Lol, that may have been me impulsively pushing away”.
I felt like I had had it, so after a lot of thought, I sent back a text saying “And Matt, this is me doing the same.” So he immediately responded “How so?” but I didn’t know what to say, and it was like 3am so I just went to sleep. It’s annoying because I can’t even say in words how he’s gone on and on and on about how nuts he is over me. He said one night he was paranoid and binge drinking and freaking out cause I hadn’t immediately responded to a text of his (I was at work, it took me a few hours!), he said how he talks about me to everyone, his entire Facebook statuses and everything are always about me, there are nearly 2000 texts between us in my phone, etc etc etc. I’m just not sure what to do
Another is… I do like him. On paper, we’re perfect for each other. That said, I don’t know, maybe I’m crazy, maybe it’s just that I’m not used to it being easy, but….something’s missing. With the few guys I’ve previously really liked, I was SO certain. When we kissed, it felt like fireworks going off, I wanted to know everything about them, and be around them every second of every day. I do really like him and think I’d miss him terribly if we were to just stop talking. But I don’t have that fireworks feeling, yknow? He’s attractive but he’s not a good kisser and he smells like an old lady’s attic. Now I don’t know
