do not EVER listen to social media about hate for Tippmanns
596085
I've used this gun a lot over the course of several months, and let me tell you, do not EVER listen to social media about hate for Tippmanns, because they are just PURELY trolling. Not only is the trigonometry amazing on this gun, (even stock) but modifying it to the way you'd like it to be, is one of the easiest processes I've ever seen. Even easier than modding a NERF gun! Yeah... Also, the performance is really solid out of the box. Maybe this is just me, and that I wasn't all too good at paintball in the beginning, but although it was great, it wasn't to my liking, and that I wanted to improve myself, and the weapon. And I did. The very 1st thing I'd reccomend you'd get for this gun is a longer barrel. It's accuracy at long range isn't all too impressive, (close to mid range, you're fine) but once you put on a long barrel, (16 inch barrel by TrinityPaintball) it is LAZER BEAM like accurate compared to other guns. Also, what I reccomend you doing is modifying the top sight rail. There's a piece of plastic at the back of it that if you gut out with pliars, you can see much better through it, aim down sights, and get really good shots off. For some reason, I put on an RDS with it in it's early days, and it didn't go to the dot, but for some reason, it goes almost exactly to where the sight rail goes, (the carry handle) so keep it! I also got a custom foregrip from TrinityPaintball on it, as well as modding the stock and trigger system to my liking, and that I'll show that all off on a youtube video in the future, and that even stock, like I said before, it'll really treat you well if you just practice your tactics! :) Also, it's very reliable, just like a Tippmann should be.

My last words for this gun are that for only $109 bucks, even stock this thing is great, but if you mod it the way you like, and just practice paintball tactics, this thing'll NEVER let you down!

This was a truly sad piece of 'journalism'.  The author can't even be bothered to get the technical details of the weapon correct, much less the biographical aspects of the inventor's life or the political ramifications of the weapon system and it's effect on modern warfare.  As a firearms and history enthusiast, I was appalled that such drivel managed to get published.  If you want to read a good book about AKs, check out Ezell or Poyer.

I bought a copy in an airport Borders, thinking it would make a good present for an AK-loving friend, but after reading it on the plane it now resides in my condo, shimming a loose shelf support.  If I didn't have an almost religious aversion to destroying books, it would have been tinder on a camping trip instead.

This book blew my mind.  The fact that the author condones Moishe Rosen's slapping his missionaries in the face with the expectation that they wouldn't flinch to show that they were ready to be his slaves is disgusting.  She also says that he paid 1.4 million dollars in CASH to buy a brownstone in NY, while his missionaries work 14 hours a day is just another example of how abusive this cult is.  They do absolutely nothing to help the poor or anyone for that matter.  Moishe started this cult to enslave people to make money for him to live the life of a rich man. The group's "worker's covenant" requires the workers to get permission to date people (see ex jews for jesus website for full text).

The author calls herself a historian, and she is living proof of how PEOPLE write history and that they often change things to suit their own beliefs.  She is not a credible source of the true nature of this disgusting group. They brainwash people and work them to the bone so they are too tired to question.  As the author says, married couples are separated for months on end (so much for family values), and though they are told to report any money they are given from family over $500 (see worker's covenant) Moishe Rosen lives quite well.  If you go to his website, you'll see that he is so fat that he can't even walk anymore.  He has eaten himself into diabetes and a motorscooter type wheel chair.  Guess jesus didn't hear his prayers for help with controlling his appetite.

Read the book but read between the lines.  If you know anyone caught up in this group, you'll see clearly why they have to abandon contact with family and friends who don't agree with their nutcase views.  It's sickening and sad, and the only thing this group does is make money for the founder.  The author should be ashamed of herself!!

All these stories are posted everyday for free on FB. I've read them all already. It was a huge waste of money. Plus, I used to like Brandon. He now makes me sick. His latest post on Humans of New York is vile and Anti-American. He gives a platform and voice to a man who spews filth against America (calling Americans the worst terrorists in the world) and him just giving a platform to the man spewing such words that we in America deserved 9-11 (not only did we deserve it but calling it one of the greatest events in human history) makes me think Brandon has let his success go to his head. No more Humans of New York for me. Brandon Stanton's opinions on anything matter about as much to me as that raggedy beard on his face.

Dems worship with no political balance. You might as well read the NY Times or Washington Post, or watch CNN, MSNBC.
The blatant bashing of Republicans is a turn-off. I did not finish the book and deleted it.

Thank God I got this book from the Beverly Hills Library instead of buying it. If I had taken one look at the jacket cover, I wouldn't have even checked it out for free. First thing, one of the authors works for Matt Drudge. Second, one of the reviews on the back cover comes dangerous right-wing schizo Ann Coulter. I made it through about the first 40 pages. It's all typical one-sided Rush Limbaugh-style rhetoric. However you feel about celebrities, this is just a vitriolic hate piece with questionable documentation. If you're a right-wing extremist and you hate celebrities - this is the book for you. Be my guest.

I saw Laura Schlessinger's recommendation was enough to turn me off to this book. Anything recommended by that phony, crazy racist should be avoided. I am shocked that they would even what to use her review.

Wow, where do I start. If you're a Hillary loving Liberal Snowflake you'll love this book. I should have stopped reading it at the point where the clueless author writes "With an Ak-47 that they purchased online". First of all you can buy whatever you want but it requires by federal law to go through an authorized FFL dealer for purchase you CANNOT JUST BUY A WEAPON ON THE INTERNET FOOL. (That was my first clue), then second the author wants you to feel all broken up and sorry for people that decide to use heroin, like it's not their choice and that they should be coddled and taken care of because of their poor choices.

Please!! I am thankful I didn't waste any time on any of the other volumes of this series and equally thankful for Kindle Unlimited so I didn't have to pay any actual real money for this drivel.

I read a couple of chapters and threw the book away. It's a typical German-hating story by someone who probably would be appalled if it was a story about a Jew-hating German. I threw the story away when mention was made of a crowd of 'hostiles' who were all white, which is supposed to upset us. This, to me, is disguised racist ranting. I don't read stories of seething hatreds.

As a free thinking, independent minded individual I was intrigued to read Keith's take on various issues and people of our time.  Having been a big fan of his from his sportscenter days I started reading and was immediately turned off by the ranting and hateful remarks about people that have done much more for society through arts, entertainment, charity work, etc. than he has.  This book is tilted FAR LEFT which disappoints me because it should look at all spectrums of our society not just the right.  Also, I found the attacks on Bill O'reilly very self-serving.  How can you write a book that personally attacks someone who you compete for audience members from and still consider yourself an objective, responsible person of the media?  Before you buy this ask yourself a question:  Why isn't this book on the best seller list?  ANSWER:  IT ISN'T WORTH BUYING!

" This author is a BIGOT, he strongly and unfairly dislikes, hates and refuses to accept other people.
He is a Neo Nazis; white supremacists
He settles for clawing for attention by being scary and upsetting, committing heinous hate crimes, and he has decided to spend his one life on this Earth being a hater. "

Wow.  As I read this rant from a reviewer I realized he pretty much encapsulated their whole act.  Zero tolerance of other points of views.  This book merely states what few in the U.S. and Europe are aware of or do not wish to face.  A clarion call to the West before it's too late.

I find it incredibly ironic that anyone would suggest that Paul Offit offers a biased view of vaccines and BOB SEARS is a good unbiased alternative.  I'm a fellow pediatrician practicing in the same community as the Sears clan, and for those not familiar with "Dr. Bob", he's the Glenn Beck of the pediatric world--loud, uninformed, making giant specious arguments based on small outlying inaccurate pieces of minutia without any deep understanding of the topics he's discussing and drawing connections between completely unrelated pieces of information, all with an underlying profit motive at the expense of his smallest and most vulnerable patients. (Yes, there is a small rabid fanbase who worships at his doorstep, but that doesn't make what he preaches any more rational or fact-based.)

Paul Offit does offer a one sided discussion, but the side is science and rationality.  Sears, who damned well knows that vaccines are the single safest, most tested and closely regulated product manufactured in the world, has made himself a very wealthy man playing on the fears of parents who deserve honest legitimate information, and takes absolutely no responsibility for the recent local outbreaks first of measles (for which he and the completely discredited Andrew Wakefield were largely responsible) and pertussis (in which his completely irrational "alternate" put-your-kid-at-increased-risk-from-life-threatening-diseases schedules is only one of several factors currently killing babies in San Diego).

If you have an anti-vaccine agenda, lack critical thinking skills and are just looking for someone to reinforce your uninformed preconceived ideas, you will hate Paul Offit.  But if you are a parent who is truly wondering what all the noise is about, and whether or not you should be worried about vaccinating your children, and you want the real facts then read Dr. Offit's books.  He is the single best source for accurate information on vaccination in this country, and probably in the world.  He and his program also make huge amounts of accurate information about vaccines available for free on the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia website--google CHOP Vaccine Education Center.  (You want Dr. Bob's schedule?  You gotta buy his book.)

And, as is the standard in medicine these days, I will give you my disclaimer:  I have no profit involvement in either of these gentlemen, and no personal relationship with Dr. Offit (and only a very casual professional acquaintance with Dr. Sears). I am a pediatrician in private practice with a strong background in, passion for and knowledge of infectious disease and vaccinations whose sole agenda is acting in the best interests of my patients.

This book promotes Peace. Make love not war. The following is what war does. It takes away freedom. It takes away love. This is what is covertly happening in the United States.

Please read the entire article including the PS. Its a letter to a liberal program called Democracy Now. I filtered out everything else but, the military video. I found what I viewed not a liberal or conservative issue but, injustice.

Yes, the great slogan baseball is as American as the big apple pie is true. New York is the second largest apple producer in the country and NYC is called the big apple. "The AMAZING Met's" have their opening game today and New York Presbyterian has changed their slogan to "where doing some AMAZING things." Unfortunately, some of the people in this country care more about money than health and human life. Monsanto, an agent orange defense contractor, has their mind control and other chemicals to control and make people sick in 70% of our supermarket products. Therefore the Big Apple and the great American slogan have been changed to an "Aspirin A Day Keeps The Doctor Away." Japan has practically no cardiovascular disease. Looks like New York Presbyterian and the Mets have to stand up to the plate and win one for the United States and Japan. Both love the game. After 911 and 311 we might be down but, where not out. Go George F Will and son.

Sincerely,

Tom TL

PS: How come the three major networks didn't air the Chelsea Manning video? I only viewed it recently on Democracy Now. That video shows our troops committing murder. The issue has nothing to do with the transgender community but, some communities don't look at the video in that way. I was taught by my father, who was an MP, if an officer gives you a order that is morally or ethically incorrect you have a duty to the Constitution of the United States of America and it's people for which it stands to not obey that order but, you better be right. That video shows that unarmed citizens and much later medics trying to help the wounded where fired on and murdered. This is what that war has produced in our country. Look at the shootings around the country. Read the entire article again and think before that's illegal.

If you want to read a condescending work, then this is the book for you.  Their "attitude" in this book goes against everything that etiquette is intended to be...a life-choice where a person feels  comfortable in any social situation.  Their take on smokers and how they usually are the wittiest of the party obviously means that these young women are smokers too.

This book is full of generalizations making their opinions seem ridiculous.  Although they state the proper place-setting and the appropriate dress, a person can get those lessons without the pretentiousness and discourteous behavior.  I just find it interesting that the inappropriate behavior admonished by these young women is oozed out of almost every paragraph in this book.

Don't waste your time or your money buying this book.  It is definitely not worth it.  I had to force myself with sheer will to finish this book.

Most everyone will find something to hate in Eric Schlosser's book, and perhaps a fair number will find a lot to hate about the author himself (he is very left wing, and he is long at pointing fingers and short on providing viable alternatives).  'Fast Food Nation' was a bit of a surprise.  I expected a lot McDonalds bashing, plus depressing reading on how unhealthy junk food really is.  And yes, Eric Schlosser does deliver these messages very clearly.  But fortunately he has a lot more to say.
'Fast Food Nation' is a seemingly endless hate-a-rama by Eric Schlosser.  Fortunately, what he hates is really bad stuff: abused animals, abused meatpackers, abused employees of money hungry corportate giants, abused consumers, etc.  Some of his observations, seemingly well-researched, are most shocking and horrific.  He doesn't blast so much the fast food companies as much as he blasts the terrible social costs incurred by them.  And he is mercilous to the (seemingly all Republican) politicians who collude with these companies (and their suppliers).  The best I can say about 'Fast Food Nation' is that I learned a lot.  Yes, probably much of it is biased and unfair journalism.  But sadly most of it is undoubtedly true.
Bottom line: mandatory and uncomfortable reading.

This is an awful, ghastly book, full of hate and anger. One can certainly understand why the author, a German Jew, would be so quick to see anti-Semitism in Erasmus' works. However, this topic was addressed with far more erudition and intellectual integrity by Shimon Markish, another Jewish scholar, in the book Erasmus and the Jews.
The book is filled with angry rhetoric and verbal excesses. He calls the German people of the time "semi-illiterate". He manages to apply just about every invective he can to his victim: cowardly, brutal, stupid, vicious, hypocritical, hate-filled, shameless, and on and on. It really is an embarrasmment to read.
Avoid this book! Read instead Erasmus and the Jews by Shimon Markish.

The hate on this page is horrendous! I can't believe that these "reviews" were even written by people who actually read her book. If they had read it, they would understand that Jordan was simply sharing her own experiences after living a vegan lifestyle that unfortunately lead her down the road of extreme dieting/orthorexia...caused by her eliminating so many food sources from her diet because she feared that she was not staying true to the vegan lifestyle, that she so badly wanted to uphold. NO ONE is pointing fingers or saying veganism is BAD! As a blogger who was promoting a vegan lifestyle, she had to remain authentic, and by doing so, shared her issues and then shared the changes she had to make in her life for her own health and well-being. Quit putting people in boxes! Be vegan, be paleo, be healthy, eat processed foods, do whatever you want but stop bulling a person just because they don't follow YOUR lifestyle choice. I'm happy Jordan shared her story and hopefully by doing so, has helped another young woman or man, pause to take a moment to listen to their bodies when their not feeling well and hopefully keep them from going down the same rabbit hole! Read the book to learn her whole story - not just these angry rants from a community of bullies!
