Umm, have to bring up the new "look"

Sirkit, that wasn't a flame. Believe me, if I was to stoop to flames, you'd know it

Nonetheless, if you perceive me to have spoken inappropriately, I apologize.

Fact is, politics have no place in these here forums. I have my opinions, like they have theirs. Mine are just as inherently valid as theirs, and I have just as much right to express mine publicly as they have to express theirs. When those who would subvert our Constitutional rights rear their ugly heads, it is for all good men to challenge them, loudly and proudly. If you want to point a finger, point it at those who brought up this subject in the first place

I predict that this thread is about to get closed and locked, and I suspect that it's probably for the best. Then it will truly be, as Sirkit put it, a mute (sic) point

"I just plain don't trust the Canadian government to know that kind of information, remember the big brother scandel, ug!"
Everytime I hear the comment "big brother" I have to ask:
Have you actually read the book that that came from? I hope you have, because its not about us, its about Communism. I don't see how anything about BB is relevant here, because we have a tried and true democracy, no matter what any dumb jerk wacko type ultra radicals say. Everytime I see a radical dumb(insert word of choice here) group demanding something about the government, I get so ticked. I bet those "militia's" don't even have their members vote. So they are dumb (again with the choice words)
As for the bullet, I have to say its close to neutral. If it was a picture of dead bodies, then I would be offended. But here in this forum about war, I think it could be considered appropriate.
(Who said that the .270 was twice as big as the AR-15? I thought the AR-15 was .223, which isn't close to 1/2 unless I am forgetting one of the wacky rules)

I don't the book "1984" was about Communism, it was more about total government control of your life. Animal Farm was Orwell's book about communism. At least that is what I remember. Can't say he was to accurate about 1984 though.
I don't mind seeing the opinions expressed here and I hope Shrapnel doesn't close it.
They are only opinions and I don't think anyone is out to change anyone elses mind on any subject. Actually between this thread and the how old are you thread we are getting to know each other quite well.

I don't like the bullet for aesthetic reasons. 1) The bullet is pointed out. It shold be pointed in, drawing the viewer into the forum. 2) It's a pretty cheesy cut and paste job. The background is a different color than the forum background. 3) The bullet itself is not very attractive or impressive. If Shrapnel is going to use a bullet, they should do a better job.

Thank you sir for the appology, It just sounded like a bit of a flame to me, but it appears I was wrong my appologies

I was. Here's a scan I did of a .270 and
a Winchester 5.56mm NATO spec round (.223
loaded to higher pressure)
