Plastic coffee stirrers are about ten for a penny. If that guy was
working for me he'd be gone with the wind.

Who would hire a guy that puts sugar in his coffee in the first place? Too
needy.

Besides, you can't measure with a plastic stirrer

IMHO, he'd be gone cuz he drags his files backwards and doesn't wear his
safety glasses.

Just goes to show..that cops tend to be butt ignorant of firearms, and
firearms safety.

That moron picked up that Booya (sawed off shotgun or rifle) and with
his left hand..pulled the trigger while his right hand was in front
of the noisey end.

Shrug..Every watch the gun handling on Cops? Some reallllly ignorant
cops out there when it comes to guns.

I shuddered when police departments started carrying Glocks..with no
external safeties..and my fears have been warranted...

A single example...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...lice4page1.htm

Google "glock police accidental shootings" and read a
few....brrrrrrr.....

There is a popular video out there of a woman cop nearly shooting her
partner and a prone perp because she ****ed up....

Remember boys and girls...finger OFF the ****ing trigger until you are
absolutely positively sure you want it to go bang!!!
Its NOT a finger rest.....

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)

them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Yes, but...

(shrug) they're often replacing revolvers, which also have no external
safeties. If a cop is gonna squeeze the trigger while the loud end is
pointed the wrong place, they're gonna do the same with an external
saftied pistol.

Not a Glock problem, it's an operator problem. And it's "negligent
discharge" far as I'm concerned, not "accidental".

Yup. All the external safeties in the world won't prevent stupidity.

Verily! Amazing, isn't it? The most-armed and supposedly best
trained peacekeepers in the USA, yet they're involved in so many
accidents.

I just about soiled my didies when I saw that.

I'll remember to do that the next time I see the show.

Unbelievable!

How about the Chicago vice cop shooting himself in the foot
during a weapons demo (and bragging session about how well
trained he was)? It was posted here early this or late last
year. UFR!

That's how I put a round between Dad's and my feet the first time I
shot his hair-triggered match pistol, a .22 Colt Woodsman. It fetched
$900 a few years ago. Anyway, I learned to handle a semi-automatic the
-hard- way that day, and I'm glad it wasn't bloody hard.

A friend of mine is a probation officer. We got into a discussion one day
concerning civilians with hand guns. He informed me that we (civilians)
aren't trained to safely handle guns, so they should be banned from us. Of
course, he has the proper training, so it's OK for him.

15 minutes later, he was telling me about the raccoon that he found in his
mother's attic. She lived in a very populated area. He took out his hand gun
and shot at it 5 times!

Real machinists (or is in engineers) put the sugar and cream in first,
then pour the coffee, and let the pouring do the stirring. More efficient,
donchaknow?

I'm sure it will play well to art crowd who actually believe something
like that is possible. IMO the producers should've done a short
documentary of a real tableware factory in China. They could show the
six year old girls standing in front of the polishing machines inhaling
dust and fumes all day.

If I wanted to make a spoon I sure as hell wouldn't even think about
chucking a round bar in the lathe. Have these people ever been in a
real cutlery works?

I do so wish that google would use an open format (or even swf) rather
than crappy flv for their videos. It's almost impossible to save
anything on there to your hard drive.

Google uses that format to prevent copying and thus protect copyrights of
the artists. There are ways around it using some capture software. The
courts are trying to keep distribution of information in the artists and
their agents hands.
