peacefuljeffrey 0 #28 June 26, 2004 QuoteHey I dont' like guns and I'm a guy. I liek cars, bbq's and boobies does that count? I never grew up around guns so I just never felt comfortable around them. My first experience with a gun was at a buddies house when he was playing around with his 45 and tells his roommate to go grab 2 phone books and they're gonna do the trust test. He held up the 2 books and he shot him. He laid there on the floor, I got up and left. They were fucking with me, firing blanks. I still didn't think it was funny though cause I had never been exposed to guns and won't have known any differently if 2 phone books could stop a 45 or not at 10 yards. Now computers and cars etc I can tell ya anything about I'm not big on people not being at least competent with a gun, but I can see why you were off-put by these two morons. Anyone with that kind of attitude should probably not have guns. (And blanks can kill too, you know. They are not, at least, 100% harmless.) --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

peacefuljeffrey 0 #29 June 26, 2004 QuoteQuoteWeak men who can't change a tire or jump start a car should be removed from the gene pool! Really? So let's turn the tables....I can change a tire, change my oil and know how to use jumper cables. Do I have to give up my female card? Nope. As long as you can cook, clean, and "satisfy," you get to carry both the Woman AND the Man card! P.S. The"satisfy" part should be both a male and a female requirment. I'm not trying to hold you to something that I'd let guys slide on. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

sundevil777 94 #30 June 26, 2004 A mechanical engineer I used to work with could not drive a stick. He once asked me to move his wife's car for him! He was a design eng in the body group at Honda no less! Even though we can do it, most do not enjoy rowing a shifter as much as you. How's the CL holding up (edit- holding up to your abuse )? Has the 6MT TL been tempting you?People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crwmike 0 #31 June 26, 2004 QuoteI was joking with a trainer this morning when I was leaving the gym. As he pulled up in his Infiniti G35, I observed an automatic transmission. He's a young fella, affluent, well spoken, etc. So, I ribbed him a little, "You know, you can get this car with a 6-speed." He said, "I don't like manual transmissions. I get bored with them." I said, (just to be sly and add an angle to the conversation) "How do you feel about barbeques?" He said, "I don't know, I don't have one or know how to use one." I ribbed, "Okay, hand me your 'Guy Card'. You're banned from using a TV remote and must report weekly to Lowe's or Home Depot to look at tools, charcoal-only barbeques." Then I started thinking, even certain things I don't know much about (like guns) still interest me as a guy. I'm drawn to them. Guns, cars, tools (even though I'm not too skilled), etc...you know, "Guy stuff". So, should guys know certain things, just by being guys? I think guys and gals should be free to make their own choices. But then, I'm a guy and a Registered Nurse, so what do I know? Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,651 #43 June 26, 2004 QuoteGuys should be able to grill a steak, they should be able to work on their cars/trucks (atleast beable to change tires, change oil, and do minor repairs/mods like welding up a new exhaust system). Guys should know how to shoot, they should be able to drive a stick. Guys do not have to know anything about interior design, beyond mounted game on the wall and cinderblock/plank wood shelves. A guys should be able to do basic carprenty, basic plumbing and basic home repair. A guy should be able to weld and work with metal to a point. A guy should be a guy! Agreed. And that's just a start. Guys should be able to do all that, overhaul a synchro transmission, cut down full-grown trees, change struts and ball joints, do quantum mechanics problems in their heads, fly a plane and helicopter, and work a sewing machine too!...
