After every mass shooting I republish my article The ABC's Of Gun Culture In America.

Surfpirate comments on Oct 27, 2018:

Americans are surprised when they find out how many guns there are in the country just to the north of them, a lot of guns, not a lot by American standards but compared to most western countries it's a lot. Then when you tell them how few mass shootings we have they really just can't figure it out, I mean how could we have so many guns but so few mass shootings? Educate people on the responsible use of firearms, do not teach people to believe that guns make them safer when the statistics clearly show that they do not make you safer and then start screening out the mentally deficient and mentally ill people who try to buy guns and are refused access, it doesn't catch all of them but it stops a lot of the potentially homicidal types from killing a bunch of people. Also that whole military hardware thing has got to stop, you would never use it to shoot a varmint or a deer for meat so wtf do you need one for? ditto for handguns, they're only good for hunting two legged critters.

Surfpirate comments on Oct 27, 2018:

Here's a great idea, why doesn't everybody get all ramped up and paranoid over this, break out the guns and then wait for the next spark to light this powder keg country? People can blast away at each other for a week or two and then Trump can declare martial law before the mid-terms come down and boot the GOP out of office. It's like Halloween every damn day.

What's your favorite Halloween memory ? ???

Surfpirate comments on Oct 26, 2018:

I remember telling my mom I was going out collecting for my paper route on Halloween night, I was probably 11 years old and since my parents were Jehovah's Witnesses I had never been Trick or Treating, just heard about it from my friends at school. My mom gave me that look that says she is seeing right through my ploy but she let me go anyways. I didn't collect a dime but I did fill up the newspaper carrier's bag that was part of my lame-O costume with candy. Candy never tasted so good because it was like pirate loot. :D A couple of years later when my dad was no longer a JW and about to divorce my mom, my little brother who was 5 years younger than me asked my parents if he could go out Trick or Treating and my mom said NO but my dad said "Let the kid have some fun for once in his life' so Morgan was allowed to go but he didn't have a costume. So my dad cut two eye holes and a mouth out of a paper bag, taped the scraps on top of the bag and put a couple of whiskers around the mouth with a marker and stuck it on my brother's head. 'There' he said 'You're a Cat'. I took him around the neighbourhood and he got his candy, happy as a little pig in shit with his paper bag on his head. No wonder I fucking hate all religions, the shit they do to kids is completely twisted. :D

Surfpirate comments on Oct 26, 2018:

There is a support group for people who are dealing with family or friends with mental illness, it's called NAMI. I have a brother and a nephew with schizophrenia so I took their course which was very enlightening and informative. One of the things that they covered was how people with mental illnesses seek out support persons to help them survive in the real world, in order to cope they develop a sense for those of us who are caring and empathetic to their plight and when they find us they automatically try to attach themselves to us as a survival mechanism. However, because this relationship is dependent for them they also develop a loathing for the very people that support them and help them survive; it's a bit like the Scorpion and the Frog fable.

Surfpirate comments on Oct 22, 2018:

Dreams are your subconscious mind talking to you when you sleep, so trying to stop these dreams is going to be pretty difficult but you can learn to take control of your dreams by moving from vivid dreams to lucid dreams, dreams where you become aware that you are dreaming while you are in dream state. You will still have dreams with your grandfather in them but you will realize that it is a dream, so more like watching an old movie with your grandfather in it, nostalgic but not painful like waking up expecting him to still be alive and then the let down of remembering he is dead.

Surfpirate comments on Oct 15, 2018:

It's only my opinion but I think that sometimes our subconscious mind expresses things through our dreams so your dream may have been bringing things to the surface that were buried during your waking hours. You would have been concerned about your brother and this may have manifested itself in these dreams with your brother in it. Some people would suggest that your brother entered your dream to try and communicate with you, his fears and concerns but that is very difficult if not impossible to prove.

Surfpirate comments on Oct 15, 2018:

I'm reading this exchange and I am thinking 2 things, High IQ and a personality disorder that might go with it like possibly Asperger's. I click on your profile and what do I find? It's not about right and wrong it's about social norms and those of us who live outside those norms. Most people operate on a subliminal level and body language is a huge part of that, observe a group of dogs at a dog park and it gives you an excellent idea of just how this works. The Alphas and the Betas get it right away but the Delta dogs generally don't and that really freaks out the Alphas who see it as a threat and the Betas who don't know how to function outside of the pack structure. I'm trying to take this outside of the human condition so it isn't clouded by preconceived notions about human society being separate from natural social structures in the rest of the animal kingdom. Think about it, do a bit of research and then let me know what you think.

Surfpirate comments on Oct 14, 2018:

I should add that I have had female friends that over time I became attracted to and even though we gave it a shot and it didn't work out we were still able to go back to being friends for the most part. I have had a couple of instances where the female friends went over the top and started taking their clothes off as an indication it was time to move to the next level and that doesn't go over very well because it leaves a man feeling like his is perceived as a life support system for a penis. It's the flip side of a man treating a woman as a sex object and not a person, never a strong foundation for a lasting relationship. I just don't see why a relationship has to end because you try to move to a more intimate connection and that doesn't work out, the friendship shouldn't be effected.

An intelligent and beautiful woman but she had been married to my corporate lawyer and I hadn't seen her as anything but a friend, I even called her my little sister. Thankfully, a good friend took me aside and slapped me upside the head, called me the smartest idiot he had ever met because I kept pissing and moaning about not being able to find a decent woman but there she was right in front of me, so I asked her to dance. Later she told me she had just about given up all hope of me ever making a move, thought maybe I was too shy (nope, not me) but I was just confused. That was in 1997 and my best friend and I have been together ever since.

I had always heard that it was a revolutionary thumb in the eye towards Britain and the monarchy, the Brits can be so anal about their 'Queen's Good English' so it makes sense. All of the misspellings that I can think of (I'm Canadian, EH?) are contractions where letters are dropped in a more utilitarian and practical manner, so that would be in keeping with the Puritanical ideologies of the Founding Fathers as well.

I needed this laugh!

What a bright and uplifting way to start my day with my morning coffee in hand, so much better than the usual darkness and offensive tales from the Trump monkeys.
