ATF Raids And Arrests 23 Year Old Gun Loving Girl That Blows Up Toilets.

Dunno Bill. I'm sure a .50 would blow the $h!t out of it.

Don't make stupid remarks that trigger the "100 words" that bring you attention on Facebook...

Is there anything positive about this website? I've never been there, and have no intentions of going there. But I don't think I have read one single positive thing about it anywhere, any time. Everything you read about it, from it's over inflated value on the stock market, to your potential employers spying on you in it, to police and various government officials using it to build a case against you with it. To criminials using it to find out when you won't be home. Is there any just reason to make a person want to go there in the first place?

So yes, the pipe bombs must have been the tipping point.  Pretty bad choice to not put one's brain in gear to consider the ramifications.....all fun and never thinking of consequence is a trademark of youth.

In this new permissive and tolerant society we can't sell dynamite down at the feed store any longer because today's society cannot handle the freedoms that the society of my childhood took for granted.  

That's right all you guys under 50...you used to be able to drive to the feed store up to the early 60's and buy dynamite.  No waiting period either.  Need to blow some stumps up or a rock pile...no problem, better living through chemicals.

Just so that you guys who are younger can file away something lost you probably never considered lost.  This is a truism  like, "How can you miss ice cream if you've never eaten any?"

The thing is you can legally buy Tannerite at Cabela's, along with dozens of other places, in most any amount you wish. They'll even ship it to your door. Stick 3 or 4 pounds of the stuff in an old toilet, back off 100 yards or so, and slam a APIT .50 BMG round into it, and it will blow apart better than a Dynamite charge could ever hope to. Lot's of billowing smoke along with a thunderous roar too boot! And the best part is you've done nothing illegal.

$18 a case and they threw in non electric caps and fuse free.
The last time my Dad bought some he was irate for a month, they made him show his drivers license.
The only rule was you could not carry the dynamite and blasting caps both in the cab.
If you were going to put the caps in the glove box you had to put the dynamite in the back.

It's the only way you can play "Jeopardy!", or "Who wants to be a millionaire" online.

It is a great organizational tool when used properly. You just have to be careful about what you post and who sees it. For the most part I agree with you that in most cases it's more trouble (read DRAMA) than it's worth. But just like a firearm, when used for it's intended purposes, it can be a powerful advertizing tool. I use it with great results for my non-profit work. You just have to stay away from all the personal crap.

I've been able to reconnect with friends and relatives I haven't seen in 30 years through Facebook.  It's also allowed me to get to know some DRTV members a lot better.  I've learned that Andy Langlois has something called an "AGA" that he's apparently quite smitten with.  I've also learned that Marshal'ette missed her calling and should have been a comedy writer.  I don't post anything political, just family stuff and photos.

It all depends on how you choose to use the tool.

Is there anything positive about this website?

I don't think so!  I was able to connect with some folks as well but it wasn't that much fun to find that thirty or forty years later they either had changed too much or hadn't changed at all!  It's also hard to reconnect with old girlfriends that now look like someones grandmother!  Actually, they ARE grandmothers!

 

It's an advertising tool that manipulates the members in order to keep them occupied to stay on the site longer.  If you're not online, they ain't making any money!  Recent articles have suggested that the excitement is waning and that 1 in 3 users are tired of Facebook in it's entirety and opting out.  I find it hard to believe that Zuckerschmuker wasn't aware of this and was instrumental in them going public recently.  I find it rather amusing to know that he's lost about $7,000,000,000.00 since the IPO last month.

I really pisses me off that you can NEVER entirely delete your account, EVER!  It stays dormant on their servers forever and can be re-activated by a fat thumbed hacker who's got some mischief in mind.  Facebook accounts get hacked constantly and one of the leading source of computer virus attacks of late!

I'm out....have no personal information other than my name but now you can't even delete a photo...

Yes, there are positives.  I organize and run a benefit rugby tournament that has raised over $25,000 over the last 9 years.  We get players to show up from near and far and help out local individuals that really need a helping hand for one reason or another.  It wouldn't be nearly as big as it is and raise as much money as we have without being able to get the word out through facebook.  No other site would be nearly as effective at reaching so many people.

My dad and I also promote and run a strongman competition and facebook is one of the best ways to get the information out there to get competitors.  As with the rugby tournament, we get people from all over.  We've had guys come from as far away as North Carolina for this contest.

And I'm thinking that the ATF doesn't like that.  I would not be surprised if there weren't more raids on technicalities that focus on people who use tannerite.  I guess I better hurry up and get some and try it at least once while I still can.
