I just went to a discount furniture store, and I think I just saw a transvestite in person for the first time in my life. Which is not a big deal, but it was sitting on the couch I wanted.

I've decided to become president of the United States of America. Olly 2032!

First step, congressman.

Get out of the sticks.

When I was 21, I was still a small town boy and started dating a city girl artist. Her and her friend liked to go dancing where they would not be bothered. When the cover charge for women was more than men, it seemed curious. When I was sitting at the bar, and this large muscular woman sat near me, I started to realize why. When she spoke with a voice far deeper than mine, I figured it out. Yep, we were going dancing at the gay bar

Nah I'm going straight to congress. Then make a name for myself there slashing programs and voting against wasteful spending. Once I have a reputation built up I'll run for president under the independent party.

Having experience running large government entities is an asset far grater than pissing off senate democrats.

So you have no chance.

Go be a used car salesmen, weight loss miracle salesman, penis enlarger salesman, community organizer, or any job that involves telling people what they want to here with no bearing on the truth. Work on your smile, a good tan (or even a bad Boehner tan seems to work), etc. Then you have a chance.

Doing the right thing. No fucking chance. The era of no such thing as a free lunch is over. People only want to know what their country can do for them and fuck that shit about doing for your country. Shared sacrifice. You sacrifice and I get the freebies. That is the path to power.

Sorry convincing people that being a sniper is not cowardly is simply not going to cut it. You have to sell things that that fat ass, little prick will buy.

"My uncle killed by sniper in WW2," Moore tweeted. "We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse."

No, but I have no doubt. I think I can shoot OK until I see somebody that can actually shoot.

There is a long range shooting class that is held around here. I plan to take it.

I thought about trying to get a job shooting deer in the park districts around here. You had to take a "marksman" test. I guess every 12 year old where I grew up is a marksman. The test was a total joke. I thought I would have to go practice to past the test, but when I saw the test I wouldn't have had to even worry about making sure my rifle was sited in. I never ended up doing it, but I could have past the test with my bow back when I used to shoot regular. Marksmen my ass. You just had to no which end of the gun the bullet comes out.

Woke up to my laundry room flooded.

Rental company is on it's way now.

Spinner, I take it you were never in the military and, by military I mean Army or Marines. I have no idea about Navy and Air Force. In the Army and Marines "Marksman" is the lowest rating and is bare minimum. It means you're a shitty shot with open sights. Sharpshooter is second and Expert is the best rating prior to going to any other training. You receive the initial training and rating in basic training and can not proceed with less than a marksman rating. Depending on your job, how often you qualify on a range, is dictated by job and special circumstance. In my job, in the last unit I served, most of us qualed on the range every 3 month, pending circumstances. We went through gas chamber 2 times a year. Most units go to chamber 1 time every 2 years and some less. Of course, that could be different now and is affected by deployment and special "situations".

Interesting info paw. Read stories of people qualifying as marksman and thought it was a bigger deal than that.

In the CG it goes. Marksman, Proficient, Sharpshooter. Which is worst to best.

I qualified "S" on the Beretta, Sig, and rifle which was a old ass M16.

Been years since I've had to go to the range though. Don't shoot a lot of guns being an IT.

What kind of requirements does that take? Just out of curiosity.

Nope, never been in the military.

However, I hope the minimum standards are far higher than the minimum standards for that qualification test I was talking about. Like I said, a good, not great archer could qualify. A fucking joke with a rifle and I could have just about any 12 year old qualified by the end of the day even if they had never picked up a gun. I hope it takes more than that in the military, but maybe not.

No clue. I did all that back in 2007 and have forgotten what the score had to be. Now all it's gotten me is I get to have a cool shiney "S" on my pistol and rifle ribbons.

Just to see how many of you will find a way to disagree with me on this:
Why do people think that it's my problem how far they have to drive to come buy stuff off craigslist?
I could understand if I listed something somewhere else that it would appear that I was willing to travel. However when I list something locally and a buyer from the next state over says they need me to discount what I'm selling bc it's going to cost them a bunch in gas to come get it I just don't understand how they can really think that way..

Not at all.

The value of your stuff to you is obviously not a function of whether you sell it to your next door neighbor or someone in China.

If they bought the stuff from a business, do they think they will get a discount because shipping costs are more?

So why do they think you should eat their cost? Sadly, I believe they are serious and not just using this to try and talk you down.

I almost went with it bc at least the guy made an offer and didn't say "what's the lowest you will take?"

Thought you were the guy who liked haggling, which is clearly what the fellow was doing. You sure you don't just like bitching?

Ding ding ding!

But yea, not your fault how far they have to travel

No arguments here, I agree with you 100%.
Craigslist is a pain in the ass, to many dip shits that just want to screw you over on price rather than agree on one that fair to both seller & buyer. Typical thought pattern in this country today, many folks want something for nothing and feel they are entitled to it.
Don't get me started, people today just generally suck and consistently piss me off with all their me, me, me, bullshit.

I like to get the most I can out of something but I'm not out to rip anyone off. A boat I sold last year a guy offered me way too much to split up and sell him just boat and trailer and I had to tell
him I couldn't take his money like that.

Not to many folks left with that kind of thought pattern.

I actually agree with you on this. If you want to buy something on CL it should be up to you to go get. After all you're the one that wants it.
