really for 45 bucks?  and I bet the bullets are free too.  how in the heck do the arms dealers of the world stay in business.  take 1000 ak47's to a dirt hole and sell them for $45,000.

20+ years ago I knew drug dealers, a lot of them, up close & personal, who told me they bought AK's all the time(Used beat-up shooters) south of the boarder for $45 all day long. It was used to make a point. I never said new, nor did I ever say this was your experience. You should never arbitrarily tell someone their knowledge is BS...

How do you "RAISE" the price of 3rd world manufactured AK's & SKS's smuggled and bought for $45 in any dirt hole around the world?  :ahand
Supply and demand.... IF demand is constant, reduce supply, price goes up.... econ 101.  :ahand

Don't want AKs crossing the border, get more/better border control.... fix two birds with one stone :aok

Actually I just jump into the threads that long ago stopped making sense like this or the 'other one' one I was agreeing with you but you did not read it correctly I guess. I then went on to explain where your error was and I was actually gonna  quote your jealousy vs. resnetmen quote to combzy but forgot.

I went back and looked becaus eI think it was the Unperk the f4u thread(haters gonna hate) you and I had a discussion in Shida not the Market Garden one and in fact I only have 1 post in market garden. In short you  misunderstood  a satrical reply in the F4u-4 thread to a guy being an idiot in a decent thrread. coombzy simply got what he dished out returned to him and cant take it.

Actually I went back and looked at the market garden thred and Shida you and  Engfnder were argueming not me. I guess some people have difficulty  telling satire from the real deal. I will note however you Brits do infact seem to spend awful lot of toime being snarky towards Americans  and I know its  a 2way street there so yes I am flippant tpo those that are flippant in themselves.

Everyone sets their own criteria of what is acceptable.

that is true, does not change the fact that just because someone has tatts, it automatically makes them a bad person, I have been discriminated for my ink so many times....... it gets quite old.

It doesn't matter if one agrees or not, but each society has a set of norms.  When an individual decides to step outside of what is consider normal, they will be looked upon differently.  If one wishes to set themselves outside of the norm, then they should expect a reaction.  Now don't get me wrong, I have a tattoo myself, and I could care less how much ink someone puts on their body, but anyone going to the extreme should expect a reaction from those who consider themselves in the norm.  Right or wrong it is just basic human behavior within a society.   Classic example is Jane Elliott's Blue Eyes - Brown Eyes experiment.

your original quote:

sorry I didnt know you were an expert in gun prices all over the world as you claimed that you can buy one for that price in every crap hole.  see 20+ years ago I lived south of the border and for 45 bucks you could get a .22 handgun.  an ak47 was a premium gun back new or old and sure as heck wasnt going for 45 bucks then and sure as hell cannot be bought for 45 bucks now. 

there's places where ak47's are plentiful but that is not the case  "any dirt hole around the world" as you claim.

Predjudice is just that, pre judging, my father went into a property wearing his black overalls and gloves, the first person who saw him jumped and said "oh thank god, for a second I thought you were a biker!". :bhead

Some people get tattoo's specifically in order to illicit this kind of response, same way that UK punk movement dyed their barnetts pink and pierced their fisogs in the 80's.
Others have a genuine love of tattoo's and are totally ambivalent about anyone else's perceptions of them.
