In lieu of being able to spell license, one must be handsome to get a ham
radio ticket. actually, I didn't say that. I said that THEY said that. ;) |
Maybe they thought you were Bryant!
actually, I was, in a way!!! I used to use webtv, and the webtv IP pathway adress always had the word "bryant" in it!! ;) .. |
regarding a few of my local ham radio operators:
no, I wasn't being paranoid and am not paranoid. So I don't get my ham liscence that I should have gotten since I had answered most of the questions correctly. So what? 1. Since that's the kind of people they are, I don't want to be talking to them on the radio anyway, and definitely don't want to be hanging out with them and don't even want to associate with them. and don't want to be associated with them 2. Besides, there's plenty of other radio bands that I can get on, which they can't do anything about, "Family Radio Service", "GMRS", "CB", "Murs", etcetera. And I can even legally operate one transmitter I have right in the middle of one of the ham bands, without a ham liscence. (low power part 15), but they can, of course, override my signal with the higher power that they're allowed to transmit with, if they do. So hah hah to them. I can legally transmit right in one of their ham bands that they tried to keep me out of. I can't transmit as much power as them, but I'm there. so to them: You can't keep me out of there. Unlike you, I'm legal. |

That's what I do. As long as you carry on an intelligent conversation and don't get abusive, no one cares or even knows. |
I just love the anything/everything goes attitude!

You should grow up and realise that: 1) There is a big difference between operating a motor vehicle and talking on the radio. 2) There is no license required for gun ownership in the US. 3) There is a big difference between operating an airplane and talking on the radio. I hope I have cleared up any confusion you may have had on this issue. |

That's true (although Europe is catching up) however, that wasn't the topic of conversation. |
8 times the per capita murder rate than Canada: most are with guns. 20
times the murder rate of European countri that isn't correct from a lot of the stuff I read. those figures are counted from the U.S. having more people killed by that than Canada or Europe. But what those statistics left out is percentage wise, the U.S. has less murders than Canada or Europe. Canada has a smaller population than the U.S. If both counteies murder rates were completely equal with 20 percent of Canada's people murdering and 20 percent of the U.S. people murdering, those statistics purposely make it sound like the U.S. has a higher percentage of people murdering by purposely leaving out any mention of the percentages and simply saying that a higher number of people in the U.S. commit murders than the number of people in Canada that commits murders. The facts in the U.S. show that the cities where guns are allowed have almost no crime at all, and the cities that prohibit guns or severely restrict guns have the most crime of all. And these weren't just some organizations claims, but government statistics show it is so, also. |

of conversatio of course Europe is catching up by having more murderers. They outlawed guns. In the U.S., government statistics already show that the cities and states where guns by the citizens are the most prohibited happen to have the highest crime rates in the U.S. and the cities where guns by the citizens are the most allowed happen to have the lowest crime rates in the U.S. You know you just might be a redneck if you think that "gun control" means using both hands. |

And these weren't just some organizations claims, but government statistics show it is so, also. "Per Capita" means per person or group of people. It applies the same mathematically whether the group is 1 or 1,000,000. It is a ratio of murders to the given population. In other words, if there is one murder per 10,000 people in one country, and one murder per 100,000 people in another country, then the second country's per capita murder rate is 10x higher. |
