Bringing these Turds to heel is going to take some time, M'am. We are disciplined enough to own firearms. We are disciplined enough to bring these people to heel.

I'd rather have the guns.

Just wish I could see the stuff that's getting cut off on the sides of the screen.

The geek squad guy that came to my house to fix my flat screen said the new tv's were designed to last 5-7yrs. Isn't that nice?

As opposed to my no name Scott 37 inch I bought from Rado shack in 2004 on sale (floor model) bastard TV still works I just can't bring myself to spend the cash on another TV. Beside I'm afraid I would just watch even more TV if I had a nicer one. Oh and Walmart had 20% off firearms.........Hmm TV or a few new rifles for less than one 5-7 year TV , just sayin.

If you have a gun, you can always get a tv. Doesn't work the other way around.

Had my RCA TV-as-furniture console TV for about 20years at which time we had given it away, our Mitsu 35" CRT TV-as-furniture console for about 16yrs before it crapped out.

By then, CRT repairs were sadly more money than a flat-screen. Now the Mitsu serves as a stand for a flatscreen.

So sad that in this day and age you can't get electronics repaired; have a Marantz 2240 tuner/recvr bought back in the 70's when stereo gear came with fold-out schematics. It has an issue with the volume and balance.

Hate to get rid of it but time waits for no one, and I can get a tiny 5.1 system that uses less power and puts out more music cheaper than getting the Marantz fixed.

Lots of guns and no bullets to put in them. Kinda like having a pet rock....

Or back in the day - when companies supplied schematics even with a component 8-track player: drugs will get you thru times of no money, better than money will get you thru times of no drugs.
