I'm with you all the way. Even professional athletics are rather subtle in their delivery of "trash-talking". Unless its soccer. In which you can fake your own death to get a foul on the other player. Or its boxing, in which case...well...you beat eachother into oblivion.

I will never respect people who trash-talk in video games. I think pretty much all of us have that one friend who the trash-talking bleeds over into the rest of his/her life. You know the guy. REALLY vocal while playing online, then you go to give him a ride and he quietly mumbles that you need to "learning to f*ing…

I am an American soldier, and I really do not agree with the sentiment of being upset with this. It just doesn't bother me. I agree with Sol on this one. Twelve years ago something terrible happened to the American people. This has nothing to do with China or its inhabitants. Why, after more than a decade, would they…

When you forgive two souls are freed

having something as permanent and guady as a tattoo on your body loses any societal value when there is zero tradition behind it. For those of you in the US this comment is aimed at us. in b4 'I did it for me not for anyone else'. mhmm.

All I can imagine is how they consecrate their love. Two physically unfit and hairy mid aged gentlemen sweating and grunting against each other. Cute.

IF he is guilty, IF....then he is getting his due; the death of his career and the death of his reputation. Let's hope that he is innocent.

Here is the real question. When those things become possible, will you be able to afford it? That is why people seek alternate avenues to gain experience in firearms operation. It is certainly not cheap and not convenient or accessible on a consistent basis. You need a good bit of time and money to conduct in it. That…

I also live in Georgia. And I can tell you that if you are living in a metropolitan area, which comprises the majority of Georgia's population, you are more than likely not part of the "gun culture". I myself reside in Dahlonega. Big time gun culture there. The statement that most southern males begin operating…

I for one am all for this. Easier avenues of approach exist to get your hands on a very realistic looking replica weapon which you can use to commit a crime, so I believe that any criminal attempting to do that would defer to a 40 dollar airsoft gun as opposed to the 225 dollar complete with colored buttons rifle…

I don't believe this to be very accurate. In specific parts of the south, and I mean certain cities in southern states (Dahlonega for Georgia or Birmingham for Alabama) you may find that to be close to accurate, but the larger the population center the less "gun culture" exists, and ironically the more gun related…

The study only put out the numbers, statistics behind probabilities of members of those groups to do engage in those specific behaviors. However, our unofficial conclusion was that exposure to violence leads to acceptance of violent behavior, but the effects or measures of the input are not relative to the output. We…

We never got it published. We decided that it needed another study with a larger sample to have considerable merit. There were things missing from certain aspects of the study, like the nature of the video games which the gamers played, and the amount of football players who would consider themselves gamers as well.…

I helped in a study in my academic days comparing the rates of violence reported in outh who conducted in three things: football programs, self-proclaimed gaming, and neither (the control). Both the kids in the football program and the self proclaimed gamers displayed higher tendencies to commit acts of violence than…

Oh....:/ Reading the Swanker description mirrors my own playstyle in Hawken. Hrm.....

The fact of the matter is, when you train in anything, you must train from the core. Your foundation is the most important function of your capability. It provides stability for all other critical functions. People are taking away the need to refine their foundation and instead shortcut their way to performance with…

I still have to disagree with you. I am not going to disclose anything about my personal life, but the individuals you speak of include myself. Our current training standards do not bring us to our skill wall, and our method of instruction has degraded to a dependence on accessories. When you go into combat, you…

I would disagree with the idea that Magpul Dynamics, or any other accessory manufacturer, is the most important manufacturer in the firearms industry right now. You are looking at only a portion of the global firearm industry, which is the U.S. recreational shooter. Granted, there are military units who do utilize all…

Video game legislation is pretty far and inbetween, it also has not had effect enough of the industry to warrant any true measure of response. Simply put, video game legislation is (currently) not a threat to the industry. Therefore, no power-lobby.
