YOU are the one using a pic that looks like a penis. I'd suggest you tone the glitter down a few notches. LOL.

How freaking ironic is THAT? When did that change? I was looking into this about a year ago, and at that time it wasn't allowed... at least, according to my research.

You must have seen an awful lot of them up close and personal if that's what you believe, penis breath.
Don't reply back like an idiot LP poster and you will be fine and taken off probation. You mean if I promise to color between the lines and learn to admire and praise European socialism? No thanks. I would like to see you back there and normal again like you were a long time ago. Can you do that? Of course I can. I won't,though because what you mean is surrender to your Euroweenie socialist way of group think. I just won't do that. I don't post anywhere to make friends. Or to make enemies. I post to make people think and learn. Including myself.

Yup. That's why I say the communists all morph into fascists the instant they gain power. Once they get to the top they are no longer interested in sharing anything.

You may be right about that,but they sure as hell don't have freedom of speech.

How freaking ironic is THAT? When did that change? I was looking into this about a year ago, and at that time it wasn't allowed... at least, according to my research. It was made a part of their new Constitution after Yeltsin was elected,and signed into law in July of that year. I WANT to say July 4th,but that may just be wishful thinking. It may have been on July 7th. One of my friends over there was (he's dead now) a professor at a local university,and he had to be the biggest gun nut I have ever met in my life. The first time I met him in person was when I was invited to dinner at his house,and after dinner he plops a big book down on the dining room table and says,"So,tell me what guns you have." When I started out with Browning Hi-Power,he said something like "Oh,yes! That is page 936!" and opened the book to that page so we could discuss it. He knew the exact page number of every gun I mentioned. When I asked him why a gun freak like him only owned a pellet gun instead of a real gun,he got serious and told me "It may be a trick! They might tell you this now to sucker you into buying one,and then change the law in a few years and then arrest you for it!" Vladimir grew up with a father that was a Major in the KGB,and tapped his own phone to make sure nobody in his family was doing or saying anything that could get them into trouble. Paranoia wasn't a mental illness for people who grew up in the old Soviet Union. It was a survival trait. BTW,I MAY be wrong,but I SUSPECT you might have to become a Russian citizen before they would allow you to buy or legally possess a weapon there.

The Mrs. and I will be discussing this issue (among others) when she gets back from vacation. (I don't get "real" vacation, because all of my time off is for my studies.) Anyway, we've thought about this quite a bit... IIRC, you can get a permit to have one, provided you know someone, and have sufficient funds to make sure everything goes smoothly. But as you mentioned, things could always change. I've seen some of the Russian 9mm pistols- I wasn't impressed. My wife would like to have an XD or a P89-94 Ruger, but the question is always *how?* I won't live anywhere that I can't own firearms- which is why I recently turned down job offers in Boston and D.C. This is one area that is non- negotiable. :-|

http://www.russianhunting.com/planning-your-trip-to-russia/ There are no problems bringing your rifle or shotgun into Russia. Handguns are not allowed. We will handle all the necessary formalities to obtain the permits. This may take up to two months and will require informing us of the make, model, serial number and a caliber of the weapon. You are allowed to bring 2 firearms and 100 rounds of ammunition for each weapon. Lead shot is permitted on all waterfowl hunts. Shells for waterfowl hunts can be bought in Russia. The gun permit will be given to you at the airport by one of our staff who will help you clear customs.
I have never known anyone to be banned from that board for political opinions. Endless crude references to abnormal sex acts along with personal attacks could do it however. I realize that for some here to take away sexual references and personal attacks is to render them mute.

The Makarov is a excellent handgun. No kidding. You may even be able to own one,since I saw AK's and SKS's in the racks when I went to a couple of Russian Gun Shops to drop off copies of The Shotgun News. Doing my little bit for person to person diplomacy,don't ya know?

That's for tourists coming into Russia to go hunting,not resident aliens living in Russia or for Russian citizens. There was an attempted bank robbery in Russia about a year after Yeltsin took office that I remember reading about in the St.Petersburg Times. A bank robber came into a bank in one of the smaller cities and when he stuck his gun in the face of one teller,another teller picked up her Makarov and shot him in the head. The response of the local police chief was "Good shooting,huh?",and he did mention she had a legal right to own the gun.

Of course not. You are a leftie that posts on boards that are right of left. You won't get bounced for expressing your opinion. Seeing as how you are a leftie yourself,there is no reason you would even notice someone getting quickly banned from a leftist site.

I would say everyone seems to be getting along pretty darn good for an alleged dive bar. I'm enjoying seeing people in here talk more civilly today, and your worries about Pete's manners is just mud dumb. I know that had people left sneakypete to his own devices and overlooked the initial fire for effect that you called LP behavior, he would of settled right in and would of just been guilty of being a darn good and valuable poster. Just my observations, which is based on experience and from knowing him, that's all. But you can believe what you want.
When I was at Salon, they thought I was a rightie. I guess political orientation is in the eye of the beholder.

Quite the catchy slogan. As Communism is the masses running things in joint ownership, it does bring up images of how much a joke something can be if it is horribly convoluted being designed by committee, and when power is in a few hands a state can move on something really quickly and outflank any competition. This is not something I quite agree with, but it gives food for thought, thanks.
When I was in the Army at Ft. Bragg, N.C. or my S.F. Guard Unit in Utah they thought of me as a flaming lefty, and many of my friends and acquaintances here in Eugene, OR think of me as more rightie than is good for me. It is a matter of perspective, but it has a wee bit to do with my propensity to act in an iconoclastic manner wherever I am.
There is nothing wrong with getting older and losing patience with idiotic people and behavior. I remember when I was considered anti-social by nurses when I was broken armed out after my fall and they told me to buzz them if I took a BM and they would come and clean me up. I asked, "What the fuck is a BM?" Nurse - "A bowel movement. Me - "Oh, you mean if I have to shit." Wincing Nurse, "Just buzz and we'll help. ~a few days later ~ Nurse - We are concerned, you have not gotten help with cleaning up after a BM." Me - "You mean a shit." Wincing Nurse in ignore the crude bastard mode - "No, I mean a BM." Me - "Well darling, I just swing the handicapped bar in place, wrap it in ass wipe paper, and rub my ass on it to floss it clean." Bewildered not believing the in-credulousness of my statement Nurse, "You are what?!?!" Me - "Relax, my sister brought me ice tongs so I can preform the toxic shit clean up myself, all is well cool and under control; now, go way." I understand Pete's impatience with drama queen control freaks. get good tips and information from him that will allow me to be a better thorn in the Nurse Ratchets of the world as I ..... mature. I never want to make people happy as a prime directive, or to be manageable. I prefer to make people think and to keep learning until the day my body expires and I move to the next level. ;-D
It didn't do it for the foul-mouthed liberals who attacked me. Any criticism of "Dear Leader" or his policies and they unleashed an unending torrent of abuse on posters.
Which is a pretty good indication of how far left they really are. I guess political orientation is in the eye of the beholder. Oh,yeah. That is a universal truth. Hell,I get called a commie every once in a while.

ROTFLOFAO!!! Said well by someone who seems to have a talent for reading between the lines. I remember one really earnest kid who was brown nosing Ken Kesey really horribly at one of the three New Years Parties I got to go to at his farm in Pleasant Hill, OR when I worked for Merry Prankster Mike Hagan (He was the man who filmed the trips around the country on Further the bus) and Ray Sewell. He had memorized much Kesey prose and was torturing the man who was recovering from a bad cold. Kesey had enough and he and three friends lured the kid outside, panted him and did a one, two, three, heave of him into the cold wet swampy area near the big barn. He looks shocked and was mortified, and Kesey said between laughing snits, "sorry, but you'll thank me later." The kid left an hour later long before the merriment was over. Kesey was always much more easy to get along with if you treated him like a regular dude and ditched any try to impress him with any pretentiousness of any kind. ;-D
Yeah,everybody seems to really hate that. They want to pigeonhole everybody into identifiable groups and feel betrayed when one of their on-line "friends" suddenly disagrees with some aspect of their favorite dogma. Since humans are by nature pack animals,it is a natural reaction for most people. It's a survival trait. If humans hadn't been tribal animals we never would have survived to form civilizations. It's just not necessary for everyone to be so ready to agree with anything in order to be allowed to join the collective anymore. Or even healthy for society.

Those must have been some interesting parties. Those guys REALLY "thought out of the box". Regardless of your political viewpoint,you have to give the hippies of the 60's credit for one thing,the creation and popularization of the phrase "Question Authority!" Unfortunately,too many of them grew up to BECOME authorities themselves,and pompous ones at that.

This is true. And reminds me - as long as I'm reminiscing on the Merry Prankster set how disappointed I was to find they were just people too, many of which were an annoying cross between carnies, con men/women and people who were disturbing enough to make you wonder what they had against you. They were not at all like I had stereotyped and glorified them to be when I watched them from afar. For example, Hagan is from a rich cowboy/rancher family from Pendleton, OR in Eastern, OR and a raging drunk. If he owed you and you caught him before his first drink, he would pay up, but forget it if he had had even just his first drink of the day. The guys still owes me almost 200 dollars I'll never see. Not that I was the only person stiffed when his and Sewell's restaurant, Chez Ray's went tits up.
They were pretty crazy. Though the Pranksters and people around them were/are experienced with the foible and down side of infamy and fame and anyone that tries/tried to exploit or use them or a situation of socializing with them quickly found these seemingly unorganized iconoclasts and individualists would act in well oiled concert to do you in or fix your wagon good for thinking they were an easy target. I know that though there was always the best LSD on the planet at a large gathering like this, they left the frying to the guests and others who were like moths fluttering around them like they were groovy black light or psychedelically painted bulbs. The generally sat back and watched the strap hangers entertain themselves and things often looked on the verge of going out of control but never did as they were savvy on keeping a lip on things to the point it needed to be. I know that Ken himself could always afford to be laid back, merry or detached as he wished. As it wasn't him who would take you out if you crossed the line. It was his wife who at her best could scare a pack of raging pit bulls to death she could get so intense.
Most of the biggest assholes and leftists in this country came from rich families. Hell,it was American leftists that financed the Russian Revolution that ended with Marx and Stalin. Must be some kind of guilt thing that comes from having too much after too little effort.

Didn't she haul his bus out of a pigpen a couple of years ago and sell it to somebody that wanted to restore it?

Mike Hagan is the gray haired man with the blue shirt standing second from the end of the line of Pranksters and usual suspects standing next to the new Further. This is from the Kesey website, Key-Z.com http://www.key-z.com/KenKeseyPics7.htm
Oh yeah, the restore Further project. The Keseys allowed them to pull the original bus out of the swamp with the thought of restoring her. You know how noble ideas are when they meet the reality at how decrepit a bus can get after spending decades with trees growing up around it. It's sort of a project in deep stall mode. Ken had always resisted this sort of nonsense, he always contended the bus should rust away in place. Here she is after we all got muddy as hell tug of war style pulling her out of her grave. Her when she was alive. The New bus, still a very important Eugene, OR Icon always around during certain events. It matters not if a bus is dead; pull her out of her swamp and sooner or later someone will clean out her inner self, and move into her. Here is much what the inside of the old bus looks like these daze. Two old codgers, 2001

Thanks for the sceed. I learned French when I was a preteen living in Quebec. I never learned German when I lived over there in years earlier then that. But francophone/ French speaking youths my age always seemed to know how intimi-motivate an appreciation of their culture and language into you when many were larger and they outnumbers you. ;-) I like Canada. The Last time I was up there was when I rode a bike cross country one summer.
No, you are a kook.
The Pranksters were lysergicized proselytizers, the transition from the Beats to the hippies, a rainbow-hued crew seeking to wake America from two decades of self-satisfied slumber. They were harbingers of a tectonic shift in American culture -- a shift that doubled back on them in the early 1970s, submerging the subculture once again. Furthur is one of the enduring symbols of that time. But it was road-weary and 50 years old when Kesey towed it to oaky, bottomland at his farm near Eugene. He built a replica from a newer bus as the original languished in the swamp, and Kesey, who died four years ago following liver surgery, stoutly resisted all suggestions to move it. That's why the most recent journey on a late October day was more significant -- heavier, even -- than its distance might imply: Zane Kesey and crew towed the bus just a couple hundred yards from the swamp to a flat spot up by the barn. Short as it was, it was a journey that many of the Pranksters never thought they'd see. "It's sweet to see it back out of the swamp," said Prankster Mike Hagen, a quiet man who uses the word 'sweet' often and can even get away with the occasional 'far out.' "Who would've believed it?" "I don't know what Kesey would think about it, but we can't worry about that now. I've been trying to e-mail him, but the server must be down," joked Ken Babbs, who knew Kesey for 43 years. "It's been a miraculous day because we had no idea what would happen. We didn't know if the brakes were seized and the wheels would even roll. We didn't know if it would break in half when we got a chain on it, but the vibe was right." What happens next is the question. "Our goal is to restore the bus and tell its story," said David Houston, who owns Barney's Beanery, a famous Los Angeles restaurant. "This is a priceless piece of American history." Lit by full sun for the first time in years, Furthur looked the part. Festoons of moss drooped from its flanks; ferns grew from its fenders; mice had colonized the interior, which was stripped bare except for the driver's seat where Neal Cassady often sat. Furthur's once flamboyant,fanciful hide is faded and rusted making it look like the relic of a lost civilization that it is. But it's beautiful and imposing for all that -- or because of it: it's a faded Renaissance fresco or an aging beauty still possessed of the most amazing cheekbones. It's imposing because history happened here. This was the locus of many lives and so much energy that you want to encapsulate it -- moss, rust and all -- in a block of Lucite and appreciate it as the cultural artifact it has become. "This feels like a perfect time for a new subculture," said Stephen Greene, Houston's partner in the possible restoration of Furthur. "It feels like something was pulling it out of the swamp. Since Jerry Garcia died, another of the doorways to a different culture closed. We want to restore Furthur and take it on the road for kids to learn different ways to live and how to take care of each other. " But which Furthur do you restore? Set aside the problems of restoring a machine ravaged by age and you face a philosophic question -- Furthur was the constantly evolving work of dozens of creative souls. As inspiration enshrined, its livery might change overnight and then again in a month or a year. "Oh, I remember when it was that color, I think I painted that," said Mountain Girl, a longtime Prankster and mother of Kesey's daughter, Sunshine. "I remember every one of these flakes." She pored over multicolored paint chips that flaked off the bus when it was pulled out from between two trees that tightly flanked it. (So tightly that the trunk of one had to be notched to allow the open bus door to pass without snagging. "Those trees didn't use to be that big," a bystander said.) Mountain Girl (her driver's license may show a different name, but the world knows her as Mountain Girl and her friends call her MG) looked up as people pushed the bus around a corner to ready it for the tow up the hill. "We used to do that a lot," she said. "We used to have to push it to get it started when the starter motor didn't work. Usually one of three things -- the starter, the brakes or the clutch -- was always either busted or just fixed and ready to go out again in about three days. We got to know every junkyard and parts store in the West." Zane Kesey allowed two days to extricate Furthur, but it was out of the swamp shortly after noon of the first day. Which is not to say the operation went off with military precision -- that's just not the Prankster way. No, the scene down in the swamp (a mercifully dry swamp, thanks to a lack of rain) was marinated in the same cheerful anarchy that Kesey and the Pranksters brought to those long ago Acid Tests. "No control freaks," Sunshine Kesey said. "Keep it loose. Dad encouraged randomness." Dogs and kids romped, mostly ignoring the trampled blackberry vines. Characters milled about -- young neo-hippies, one of whom later unslung a mandolin to sing "All You Need Is Drugs"; a documentary film crew; silver-bearded Prankster Izzy Whetstine in Technicolor tie-dye: Zane Kesey in purple tie-dye of his own; and Phil Dietz, who calls himself the last Prankster and who tapped a hand drum as people took a strain on the ropes and chains. Picture this: Zane Kesey on a small farm tractor hitched to a Chevy flatbed where seven people crouched to increase traction. A yellow tow strap hitched the truck to chains looped around Furthur's rear axle. But it wasn't enough to overcome years of immobility. So they lashed a thick rope to the tow strap, and people grabbed the robe in a tug-of-war with Time itself. Black smoke snorted from the tractor's stack, the truck's engine revved and its rear wheels spun, then bit. The pullers put their backs into it and Furthur inched backward as David Tipton walked alongside and shouted steering commands to Prankster George Walker in the driver's seat. "Is there a new plan?" Izzy Whetstine asked Hagen as the crew readied for the third and last attempt. "It's a constantly moving plan," Hagen said. "Was there an old plan?" "It was old the moment it became a plan." But Kesey's daughter was OK with the plan, whatever it may be. "My dad would've been thrilled that there's a new surge of energy behind the bus," Sunshine Kesey said. "It's not necessary to leave it as a story of the past because he wanted other people to take the craziness on the road. "To him it wasn't just the bus, it was the action of people coming together to make something happen. His philosophy was live in the moment and call the dance."

Yet, less people are in actual jails in Europe than they are in America. So your "Land of the free" is an illusion. Because in practice Europe is not a police state - the USA is.

Russians even have the right to possess private weapons now.

In practice, there was one difference between communists and fascists. The communists killed the goose that laid the golden egg, while the fascists exploited it.

Switzerland has a freer economy than the U.S. and almost everyone has an automatic weapon in their closet.

BTW,I MAY be wrong,but I SUSPECT you might have to become a Russian citizen before they would allow you to buy or legally possess a weapon there.

I posted there and lasted about 5 days despite the gang attacks. I've posted on a few other leftist sites, but was unceremoniously banned from each within a matter of days.
#128. To: Capitalist Eric (#125)
I've seen some of the Russian 9mm pistols- I wasn't impressed.
#129. To: Ibluafartsky (#126)
There are no problems bringing your rifle or shotgun into Russia. Handguns are not allowed.

I have never known anyone to be banned from that board for political opinions.
#131. To: Godwinson, sneakypete (#95)
This website is a dive bar and I treat it as such.
#132. To: sneakypete (#130)
Seeing as how you are a leftie yourself,there is no reason you would even notice someone getting quickly banned from a leftist site.

Endless crude references to abnormal sex acts along with personal attacks could do it however.

"Sue them and get your tuition back."
ANYBODY that falls for the rhetoric of the political theorists of ANY stripe hook,line,and sinker is cruising for a fall. Theory is fine,but reality is where people have to live,and the reality is far from the theory.

It is a matter of perspective, but it has a wee bit to do with my propensity to act in an iconoclastic manner wherever I am.
#140. To: Ferret Mike (#135)
I never want to make people happy as a prime directive, or to be manageable. I prefer to make people think and to keep learning until the day my body expires and I move to the next level. ;-D

I remember one really earnest kid who was brown nosing Ken Kesey really horribly at one of the three New Years Parties I got to go to at his farm in Pleasant Hill, OR when I worked for Merry Prankster Mike Hagan (He was the man who filmed the trips around the country on Further the bus) and Ray Sewell.

"Yeah,everybody seems to really hate that. They want to pigeonhole everybody into identifiable groups and feel betrayed when one of their on-line "friends" suddenly disagrees with some aspect of their favorite dogma."
#143. To: sneakypete (#141)
"Those must have been some interesting parties. Those guys REALLY "thought out of the box"."
#144. To: Ferret Mike (#142)
For example, Hagan is from a rich cowboy/rancher family from Pendleton, OR in Eastern, OR and a raging drunk
#145. To: Ferret Mike (#143)
I know that Ken himself could always afford to be laid back, merry or detached as he wished. As it wasn't him who would take you out if you crossed the line. It was his wife who at her best could scare a pack of raging pit bulls to death she could get so intense.

Thanks for the clarification. The only thing I was left unsure of is whether or not you are a U.S. citizen or Canadian.
so ya,...Parrot knows the riddle of steel : )
History affords some reprieve,....that opens doors to meet others who might share about their family's experiences in historical events,....and sometimes you meet people who were in the exact area of discussion or knew one of your family members.
After history,....my interests converge in the arena of Space science....in this case,....Electric Universe/Plasma cosmology and Celestial catastrophism ...aka Immanuel Velikovsky etc.
My first forums mid 90's were Graham Hancock - Ancient Civilization and Amarna Group [heavy Egyptology - Authors,proffessors and novices getting beat up for making mistakes.
Amarna E Group broke up with some becoming the Hall of MAAT
MAAT and Hancock's site scrap....one see's itself as pure,..with Hancock as pseudo science.
Hancocks site's message board has the same problems as many forums do with posters and their absolutism agenda's.
In my previous post to you,....mentioned Norman Dodd and his discovery of the US Foundations from Carnegie 1908 forward,...their design to bring America into continual war to create change,....their plans to control Education and the Judiciary.
Dodds discovery that the Foundations plan to merge the United States with Russia.
Most of the time ,...be it LP or just about anywhere's,...this topic gets no traction.
and ya,....most never both to go study the links provided and see the broader scope of whats been going on.
At this point,....I look at a nations situation and say,
Your being vaccined by socialism,communism and fascism,.....and its going to change you
In a redux form,...its easy to understand what is going on,
and as opined,....Obama is just another cutout from the Foundations and Bankers as the Bush Crime family was.
Obama is unique inthat he is out of left field [pun]....where as,...the system is kinda beholding to the Bush crime family for its historic reach going back to Prescott Bush,Walkers,Harriman and all the Nazi banker history.
All the US presidents since WW-2 have been cutouts.
Clinton is Rhodes,Jesuit Georgetown, etc.
They can bring their workers out from so many avenues....and spin that person via the media to appear the answer to the peoples request.
Bush played the so called compassionate conservative christian,....[what a joke]
I have no idea why Americans line up for the koolaid,...but they do.
They seem to believe the next one in will right the wrongs and make something good for the people.
when in fact,...its usually just foreign intervention,weapons sales,...wars,micro conflict and corporate expansions.
America is being used,...its middle class gutted,...and who knows what else they itend.
I'm a realist,.....these Elites and Bankers burned Europe down several times over since Napoleon.....anythings possible with this malthusian crowd.

Ken Kesey's original bus rises from the swamp Four decades ago, the late Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters rolled across the country as psychedelic shock troops in a brightly painted bus called Furthur. Recently some remaining Pranksters -- plus kids, companions, young acolytes and dogs -- met at Kesey's farm to help his son Zane make Furthur roll again.

You mean if I promise to color between the lines and learn to admire and praise European socialism? No thanks.
