I occasionally shoot clay pidgeons and accompany my dad on his deer hunting trips, but I'm not big on it. It's just that I'm 20 and I have another year until I can get a permit for a revolver. So for now, the rifles will have to do. lol Kinda dorky I know.

Which rifles you used? I've hunted here in Australia with .22 Hornets as well as .308 lever action rifles. Gun laws were still quite strict in W.A. except during my time in the Army.

To the OP, my ex was Persian and from the stories I got from her, were most men from the middle east act like that. They are extremely forward and aggressive when talking to women; it's just their culture. Many have really big heads, thinking they can get any girl they want. It's not the case for western women but for all women.

you do,however,need to think before posting sweeping,insulting generalizations about an ethnic group. I've nothing against turks or arabs, but we should be able to discuss muslims and islamic culture, their virtues or their vices as they appear to our eyes, as one can any other identifiable group without being called racist. Frankness does not feed racism, secrecy, however, does.

admin Useless anti-italian propaganda. Since the girl in the photo is quite ugly, i bet they were just joking at her. Art out of context allows people to bring their own perspective. Art in context, however, can be more illuminating: www.orkinphoto.com/american_girl.phpI was not referring to the artist as "anti-italian", but to you and I know perfectly that you intention was to use that photo to give a false and distorted reality of italians. Your cryptic allusions to any "italian nerdness" are simply ludicrous.

Frankness does not feed racism, secrecy, however, does. this is not some high-minded,abstract discussion about freedom of speech.you made a negative generalization about an ethnic group.that's not 'discussng Islamic culture.'if you feel that being asked not to make those kind of statements is 'secrecy',so be it.but you are NOT welcome to make those statements here.

I think there are valid criticisms against Islam, just as there are against middle-America Christianity. People who take 'LITERAL' (and I emphasize literal, there are a lot of people who follow religion as an allegory) should be evaluated for insanity.

The Qu'ran explicitly advocates violence against heretics. That's not exactly tolerant.
(disclaimer!...this was disclosed to me by an Islamic scholar, so it's a source that I trust, but admittedly I've never read the Qu'ran myself.)
