Sadly I gotta go but you can email me at [email protected]

Wish I could speak tonight, Came back from a gun store, empty Handed, trying to buy Ammunition in California. I haven't been this pissed off in years

SHOW!

Arigato?

@Dangerous Spaces Thank you in Japanese

yes.

Ah yeah. I did recognise the word. Couldn't place why though!

What was the purpose of the last caller's question?

And why doesn't that occur for people to ask BEFORE they proceed to answer said question? "Why is the answer relevant?"

Just be a man

^^

Do what a man does and protect his family and all he is committed to protect

Be an animal... but only if neesscary

Be a savage

"Never start a fight..... but ALWAYS finish it..."

And sadly, caller sounds like he tries to give too much without asking for a return

Here's some honest tough love: stop making excuses and DO what you know you should be doing

And if he doesn't know?

(most don't these days)

something to note about the caller before the last about guns: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/hicrc/firearms-research/gun-threats-and-self-defense-gun-use-2/

@ManAnimal Then crash course that dude and show him

EXACTLY

Cautious ... but not too Careful. To live is to risk and if you don't know what matters to you, you are being TOO SAFE

Move... you aren't a tree..

@ManAnimal I'm talking military basic training crash course. Zero tolerance when it comes to failure & build people up in a positive way when you crash them to their breaking point. It's the only way

It is a good way ... but not the ONLY way

@ManAnimal It's the most effective way

Not for the overly cautious....

Pressure turns coal to diamonds.

You and I are coal.

Presure allso crushes stones to dust

@ManAnimal I'm not coal nor diamonds. I just know what works. You break someone down to their foundation, then build them up

If they never have any confidence, if they are smarter than most.... they will see avoiding risk as 'success'

Works for only one type of person though.

I am quite familar with the military style of deconstruction.

No it doesn't. It can work for anyone...as long as they are willing to change

Also drives many over the edge as well

how long are the call-ins usually

If someone is scared of their own shaddow, expecting them to march into a recuiter's office is beyond naive

One needs a degree of confidence and beleif they WILL OVERCOME to even have that thought

recruiters aren't even intimidating, they'll do nearly anything to get you enlisted
