And my favotite, Point Reyes State Park (below) Of course someone of your girth could not handle the 4 mile hike through some of the most beautiful land in our country to enjoy it.

Freezing water and waves just get sand everywhere. Funny that the best surfers come from Florida....Go figure.
Anyway....This is a beach

Oh and I may be overweight but you are a pretentious, self-absorbed, nanny-stater......and I can always go on a diet.
Weather is great for goose hunting tomorrow. I couldn't live without seasons! I Know my two coworkers that came from San Diego are loving it. They are both going goose hunting with me tomorrow actually. As for California's population growth, of course it is. It's a haven for people living on government assistance and illegal aliens. How's that welfare system working out feeding all that growth? Perfectly happy with our beaches here and my half a block walk to it from our place at the beach. I'll be down there hunting sea ducks next weekend.Quote:

It happens EVERY day, and you know what happens, that same criminal is back out on the streets committing the same crimes again and again. These are not legal gun owners. They won't be the ones registering themselves, buying guns legally, and Paying more taxes yet again to legally possess a firearm. That will be me, and where will all of those "registration and licensing Fees" go when I comply with the rules? Into the general fund where they will yet again end up paying for medical assistance, welfare, food stamps, public housing for people unwilling to work or support themselves, their families or their various habits and addictions. These fees also create yet another class of citizens that may be unable to afford the various fees and licenses that will be required to legally exercise their rights. Again, the supreme court has ruled these restrictions and tightly controlled permits are a violation of the second amendment. Pass tighter laws like Jag proposed that target the problem of how we own firearms, not blatant bans, and then Enforce them.Quote:

BTW I don't need bathwater at my beaches, 66-74 degrees is just fine unless you are a total puss.
Do it.....post haste!!.[/QUOTE]Quote:

Back to our topic - nice pictures of beaches and waves and snowy mountains by the way. :)
Okay yes, it is MSNBC and some can argue that it is skewed, but I wonder why they don't show the instances of people shooting on self defense (unless no one had to today)

now give us the world shooting and bombing figures
Not true.Quote:

There is also Article 19 of the The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"In Australia it is necessary to remember, when discussing civil liberties and rights, that one of the functions of common law has been to protect the individual against infringement of his or her personal rights"
- Sir Robert Menzies, 17th Jul 1971
"A bill of rights would diminish parliament's authority by transferring decision-making authority to unelected judges, accountable to nobody in the barest theoretical sense.
I've always held the classical view that the public elects members of parliament, who pass laws hopefully in the public interest and those laws are in turn interpreted and enforced by courts.
If adopted, a bill of rights would politicise the appointment of judges, increase the volume of litigation and would not in any way increase the rights and protections now available to Australian citizens".
- John Howard, 27th Aug 2009
Australian law moves and evolves. British law which also has no written constitution and where this website happens to be hosted also shares the same Bill of Rights Act 1689, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and various pieces of Common Law traditions and rulings.
So, no.
sorry fousto, no can do. No TV screen is giving me that info right now so I can't capture it with my camera phone - I had to try to get us back on topic really.Quote:
