 Try not to project your deficiencies onto others, Shantz.  Underneath 
 all that vitriolic language and sometimes vile insults I think perhaps 
 there's a scared little boy wanting to get out. 
  
  Be kind  to others and others will be kind to you.  It may not be the 
 same "others" , but kindness always comes back in some form or another 
  and at some time or another. 
  
 Were you able to clean up your language and your anger enough to get 
 your gun license, or did the new screening processes for licenses 
 gitcha. ;-)
