Sup dawgs. 9/11 conspiracy? Here's a bunch a experts how say the conspiracy theories are wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories#Criticism

Nope, but I bet many people who have read the first few pages of this thread have come to the same conclusion.

Absinthe, hmmmm, I wouldn't recommend it. A high-vodka like Grey Goose or Absolut are good options for your first drink, as higher end vodkas do tend to go down like water. If you go beer, I would suggest a "green beer", like Rolling Rock. It's pretty cheap and has a taste to it without being overpowering to a first timer. Personally though, I enjoy Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Also, might I suggest weed?

Well, yea you proved your point. I suppose if you wanted to take down an aggressive bear, you are better off with a gun. However, my choice not to shoot a bear isn't grounded in the fact that bear spray is better, but there isn't a need to debate said groundings. Point well proved, good sir.

Godwin's law. In addition, I suppose I have no ties to this site, or the people here. I have no reputation to uphold. That being said, redneck diaper boy is an idiot, and some of you aren't much better. To lighten the situation, here's a sweet comic. http://xkcd.com/308/

Hmmmm, interesting. I'll concede when you bring up some examples. But I will give a little; bears that wake up from their turpor during the winter are bad news, and have been shot on occasion.

Incorrect. There has never been a person killed by a bear in my town in Southeast Alaska, and there are more grizzlies in Southeast Alaska than the rest of the U.S.A. This summer there have been two bear attacks, in both cases the sow knocked down the lone hiker and nothing more. I have a few friends that work out at hatcheries, two of them have used bear mace and have gotten away safely. I think we come from two different mindsets.

True enough. It should be noted though, bear mace is much, much, stronger than pepper spray. If given the chance I would rather spray a sow with four cubs than shoot it.

12 Gauge 10 Gauge 308 .30-06 22 ruger The top four are for hunting (I live in Alaska) The Ruger is for competition Even in self defense I don't think I would pull out a gun; I have bear mace anyways.

I consider myself conservative in the sense that our central government should have less control over the people. I'm pretty moderate in the sense of our current issues.

I voted for I am Legend. I watched and found the film to be pretty good. Like the movie Signs, faith plays a big role in the plot. Will Smith played the part well. Just a suggestion, check out No Country for Old Men. Although somewhat experimental for a mainstream film, it is still the best I have seen I've seen in the last year.
