HoS Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 I don't know hows its going to end but the US will alienate many of it citizens....What there going to do about it is the question. My little vent,The govement is getting more oppersive, the media is helping it with FUD and other scare methods. The fact that I am losing my right to do "dangerous" things (it is my life, why am I not allowed to risk it) The CSPC tring to sue people for flash kits with flash and devices made from it a legal...
PyroJoe Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 The laws on things may be getting stricter, but there will be no "down fall" of the united states. I am so glad I live in the United States and I never want to move, even if pyro gets outlawed. I'de rather be complaining about my fireworks sucking than complaining about how many times I get shot at in the street, or how many times I see an RPG go through my garage. It's not like the U.S. is the Roman Empire trying to take over the world. We are the ones that help other countries out, countries that ASK us for help. There will be a time though when shit will hit the fan and we will pull out of all those countries we are trying to help and lock up in ours as everyone nukes eachother. Like that drunk ass leader of North Korea, he just gets hammered every night with his vodka and has his trigger finger resting on the nuke button, somebody needs to go over there and take him out. It's sad how we are the only country concerned about North Korea's crap when we are the farthest away.
Mumbles Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 If you guys are so concerned with the pyro situation, do something about it. Sitting here bitching isn't going to do jack shit. Go join the firework alliance, the PGI, and local clubs. Local clubs are probably going to be doing the most actually. There are people who are very involved in the industry, and often times have good connections and ties. They are relativly localised so more can be done in your area, which will benefit you more. They are seen more as people than a corporation like the PGI. You can get them to get involved with your state and local politicians which can definatly help.
justanotherpyro Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Ahhh, the downfall of the USA. How sweet it will be.Fuck you. The USA could never be invaded. No country could have taken on the Roman empire. They killed themselves, and its exactly what our American government is doing to America. The only real way that America could get fucked over by force is by nuclear blackmail. If NYC and LA went up in a mushroom cloud and we were told that there were several more in other cities and if we didn't comply to their demands they would go off, then we'd be fucked. You can't nuke a bunch of spread out islamic radicals. Well, you could, but we never would because of civilian casualties.
PyroJoe Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Thats why I am glad I live in the small town of Idaho Falls with around 70,000 people. Nobody cares about my town! Or Idaho in general. I would never move though, I love it here.
RUUUUUN Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 70,000? thats small town? my town has a max of 20,000! The only way the US would collapse would simply be from internal corruption, bloody politics.
Pyrohawk Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Hahahahahaha I live in the country on a farm to start with. But the town nearest where I go to school at...... It has a population of about 5 - 6,000. Every year the mayor said they have to cheat a bit to get enough people to call us a town!!! Currently there is only about 150 people in my Senior Class. When I was in Elementary School I went to a smaller school in a little village of about 100 people. My school had 28 people in my grade. Ha!! So beat that!!
PyroJoe Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Ok ok, you guys win. It's still small compared to L.A. and N.Y. though! Its perfect though. Just enough population to have things to do, but not enough for bad crime or to be on a list of nuke targets.
RUUUUUN Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Oh, and I live like 15 miles from that town, I live WAY out in the sticks, my house is not even on the map. My driveway and my shop are because they have been there for 4 years, but the house has only been here for like 6 months. My nearest neighbors are 1 mile away... Now for the vent, It is supposed to break 100F friday and maintain or increase in temperature over the course of next week!!! aaaarrrrrg!!!!! stinking dry grass catches on fire WAAAAAAY to easily! I hate heat!! I need to move to the arctic!
justanotherpyro Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Don't take it for granted. Live in the city and see how easy it is to do pyro my friend.
lacrima97 Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Theres only 23 in my upcoming senior class, because they all drop out to go work in the oil fields/oil rigs. Ha, so I win.
Pyrohawk Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Hahahaha ok lacrima you win. Though I'm not sure how many of that 150 people will actually graduate.... I'd guess about 100 of them will. Where the heck do you live??
RUUUUUN Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 You think he wins? There was only one person in my 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8th grade classes, me! 23 is a LOT. Now I go to high school in town I have an hour long bus ride, and about 30 kids per class with 6 classes... Vent: my mom left to go to town, I want to do some testing, I have a whole buncha whiny possibly sick kids to baby sit and I am hungry. lunch time! I never take it for granted, I could not stand living in the city, I can do anything I want out here and no one knows or cares, I love tree farming
Pyrohawk Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 You must have been homeschooled. Or you were put in a room all alone at school because you were "special". Yeah I love living n te country as well Ruuuuun!!! But I do have a vent..... there is only one neighbor close enough to see or hear what I am doing.... Well they told us today that they are moving!!! They sold their house and a small section of their land to some mid 60's aged couple..... This could be a problem for me and certainly can't be good. There is still a little bit of distance between our houses (a small field) and the heavy amount of tree's around their house blocks direct view.
AprenticeChemist Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 It appers you are just as kewl as you were 4-5 years ago on totse as 'masterchemist'. Hahah thank you guys wow. I really didnt think anyone would take that seriously it kinda makes me sad at the same time because it means I have been forgotten among the people of APC I guess when you leave for a year or two people forget you. None of what I said was true I was being a "Troll" MEaning Iw as trying to see how many noobs would think i really was a kewl and flame me while the people that were around when APC first started and KNew me then would realize it was a joke. Nope never been MASTERCHEMIST ive always been Aprentice CHemist. Come on now do you think I could have gotten as many posts as ive got and been here that long without getting banned if I was really a kewl? I missed this forum and wanted to stop by just seeing who remembered me. Guess no one remembers poor old AC. To those that flamed me you did the right thing and the first to flame me well said senor thats really what I push and wish all kewls would see. Sorry mumbles and other mods(dont know whos the mods right now) for my troll posts.
RUUUUUN Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I thought it was funny... but I knew you from the old forum, I about busted a gut when they started talking about you being an anarchist.... woooo hoooo 7 whole posts, you can elarn alot about a person from 7 whole posts, the HE qualified should ahve tipped them off though.. @pyrohawk, you better ask the husband if he was in vietnam, if you start detonating HE, he may jsut come a knockin at your door with some green face paint on... other than that it shouldnt be a problem i have talked to a whole buncha peoples in their 50-60's and they were in the military so they loved explosions, especially my grandpa, he was a stump blaster before he joined the military,(helped his dad on the farm when he was about 16...) And yes I was home schooled those years, best school years of me life vent....vent.... Nope I am all vented out for the day....
dragonman586 Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Damn aprentice. I got worried for a moment I thought some idiot stole your name and started posting. You were one of the more intelligent people. So how are you holding up. So any plans on returning to pyro? And as for my vent.... I just re read the stats on The college i'm going to and i found a bit of distressing news that i missed earlier....... ITS A FLIPPIN SAUSAGE-FEST. It's only 15% female and I am not gay so that meager number of women is rather distressing, as I am not exactly that good looking.
Mephistos Minion Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I remember you AC, I would have kept in touch more but AIM always reamed my computer when I was on it. I am pretty annoyed at myself for I am a failer at buisness. I can't get my shit together atall, I loose addresses, forget to grab stuff from my site, misplace money and am currently between jobs. I would ask my parents for money but I don't think they will lend it to me for the purpose of shipping glassware and chems to people I owe. Anyone I owe stuff to (you know who you are) please bare with me, I am broke but a working on it.
AprenticeChemist Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Oh shit I forgot it was a new forum the old post count isn't there. Haha thats probaly why they fell for it haha. Because at the old forum I had like 750 posts and such. Hey thats cool im HE quailifed yay me. And yea ive been doing pyro again latly. Ive made a few batchs of BP and plan on trying a few star mines and the like and trying my old rocket boat(Used Estes rockets but still) out again, and made a few semi failed salutes(they popped but not relaly a bang but nice fireballish effects. I also want to try some fountains again if I can find my old sites with the formulas I used to use. Yea I did bust my gut when I saw them refering to me as an anarchist I firgued it might not have worked haha. Im going to be trying to post here as much as I can in threads I can help in but most the threads here are already got the info I would contribute to them but ill try to stick around since I been posting at TOTSE and its mostly just shitty noobs(more then usual sadly ) Its really awesome to be back into pyro again its such a great feeling.
Boomer Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 AAARRRGGG. My latest chem shipment has come, and I am too broke to fetch it. Has to stay at the pharmacy till next week. Which means instead of doing new synths, the weekend will be spent in drunk stupor, or mindlessly stoned. Yes that's still within the budget...
Rogue Chemist Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 500g of -600 mesh mischmetal should not cost 600USD... that is all... Oh AC, yeah I remember you, could have sworn that was you on totse 5 years ago, but yeah, my sarcasm does not convey well over internet, oops lol.
Pyrohawk Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 I remember ya Apprentice. When I saw that post I just assumed that it was someone else using your name...... Ya the old pople should be ok. Like I said even if they arn't, there is enough distance and tree's between us that they shouldn't be a problem.
hst45 Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Pyrohawk, RUUUUUN, you're right, the country is the only place to live. The best neighbors are TREES! i work in the city and drive an hour and a half to live out here where nobody screws with me. What really pisses me off is when flatlanders move up here to "be closer to nature." The bastards buy half an acre, put a "posted'' sign on every fucking tree they own, but think that my fields and woods belong to them to walk their fucking poodles and pick berries. Fuck-em! i've hunted these woods all my life, and i'll stay off the "posted" pieces when the deer do!
Swany Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 AAARRRGGG. My latest chem shipment has come, and I am too broke to fetch it. Has to stay at the pharmacy till next week. Which means instead of doing new synths, the weekend will be spent in drunk stupor, or mindlessly stoned. Yes that's still within the budget...Want a hug? Hugs! Yes!!! Hugs, not drugs!! Oh well, even if the shipment is delayed due to financial issues, you can still be comforted by a 15 year old boy who lives thousands of miles away! Curious, whats in the shipment that we perhaps should know about, in anticipation? EDIT: Anyone with issues with land should move to North Dakota. Very low population density, and you can come visit me and my lonelyness.
AprenticeChemist Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Damnit you dick my girlfriends in north dakota i miss that girl. Dude fucking neighbors being bitchs. This bitch lives next door and she calls the cops on us for no fucking reason, shes called the cops about how are cars are parked like 10 times its bull i wish i could just punch her but i odtn hit bitchs no mater how ugly they are, and pshit fuck that. IM mad but also damn high ad good hahahaha go herb
