• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Can I run a personal poll?

This one will basically ask:

Should Wayne own guns? Should Wayne even be a member of the boards?

A simple Yes/No but I don't know if you can break it out so that you can do a yes/no to either/or question.

The reason that I want to do this (and it won't be a public poll) is for self learning. I'm going through this deal where I need to "find myself" and this is one/two of the biggest questions that I have.

I mean, I'm been on the boards since Shooters.com, joined in with THR and then FFF when GunSlinger gave Alan the point of doubt and started up the other forum, left, came back, etc.. to the boards.

So, in a way, instead of a Republic, I am asking for democratic way of things, majority rules.

Also, would be interesting to see the results. Even Staff would kinda like to know I bet :).

Wayne
 
ARGH!!

Is Wayne a drama queen?

At least one time a week I see a post from Wayne about his personal issues, or something that stikes me as drama queen. I continue to bite my tounge.

Usualy I follow the "think twice, post once" rule-

This time I thought only once about this post, but a hundred times combined in al the other comments I didnt make.
 
Relax. Stay. Have guns. You're a good member and you contribute a LOT.

Is there any particular reason that you feel that maybe you shouldn't have guns though? I sorta have to ask, since you said "should Wayne own guns?".

But off the top of my head my vote is that there is nothing wrong with Wayne. He might be a little introspective but this is a good thing, if nothing else. Not enough introspection in the world these days.
 
Y'know Wayne, I'm an Australian. I really don't know what it is like to live in America.
I get the feeling, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that you blokes get wound up a lot quicker than we do over here.
We are a more socialist kind of people. We get four weeks annual leave per year, we get all the public holidays as well. For most of us going to the doctor is free and so is hospital care.

I have read some horrible tales of wage slavery in America. Our minimum wage rate is $13 an hour.

It seems to me, as I've said before, that you need a break, and a damned long one at that. If you were here you'd go on the dole for six months to a year. They'd pay you about $200 a week. Even if your Govt won't pay you anything can't you just 'Drop Out' for a while?
If you keep on dancing and singing when the music isn't in you- you'll end up ...
