17 parts ammonium nitrate, 3 parts ammonium perchlorate. It's called "tannerite". Mix it together and hit it hard and you can send your refrigerator across the state.

'Bout $7 a pound if you buy by the boom. Buy in bulk and the price drops precipitously. Order it this second and I'll be delivering it to you tomorrow morning. No black market, no dark web. Walk right into Bass Pro or hop on Amazon or any number of chemical co.'s or....

That device is incredibly easy to construct, but I never tell people how or especially wouldn't put in on the www. But that's me. I could describe how to take 90% of the electric grid down for a thousand dollars or so, plus pizza. No way would I publish it. There are crazy's out there, who haven't thought of it on their own. This is a G rated site after all. : ) But yeah, 1st and all that.

As long as we are talking sinister stuff here, does anyone know what type of explosive the Austin bomber was using? G- powder?

Dalex in the house, asking the real questions. I'm with you, man. Tired of digging up these GD ground bees.

petro, you got any M79's in your parts? Spring is here and I need it.

Too bad you ain't local. I still got a pail of the best stuff. Enviros forced them to re-apply for their EPA # so they pulled it from the market.

I was across the table from the lead activist in Rochester. Suburban housewife with too much time on her hands. There with some high up in the college, going over her concerns. I said it was off the market. She said "GOOD!" I said. "No, not good. It worked well and in small doses with no odor. Now we have to use more chemical to get a lesser result."

She was not used to an industry person talking back to her. My bosses always wanted to be nice to those people. Never worked. I later got published in the local paper with a rebuttal to those people. My boss was less than happy. The manager of the local association loved it but mildly upset I did not give him a heads-up on it. A competitor or two thanked me for it.

Rant over.

I was just talking about this yesterday.

I look around and see so so very much potential for disaster. The grid is one I was just talking about, having lived through the '03 blackout. Incredible disaster and destruction isn't some hard to do, difficult to accomplish thing. It doesn't take military strategy, doesn't take superpower might, doesn't take comic book super villainry. The reason wild s#$% like this doesn't happen often is because a vast majority of people don't think to and don't wish to reign destruction on their neighbor. Is Babs in here? Ah, nevermind. The things I observe number far too many to even bother listing examples. But doing incredible damage isn't hard. There's just, usually, a lack of desire to do such things.

That's where the answer lies. Not what model rifle is available, not what fertilizers can be used, not what meds can stay on the shelves. Maybe start putting people's well being first, making spiritual wealth a priority, maybe you'd see some Good start to happen. Maybe people wouldn't be so GD unhappy and hopeless they revert to acts of desperation.

But nah. It's prolly the videogames.

This is part of my argument about all these terrorist cells in country. Either the 3 letter agency's are really that good, or there really aren't that many that wish to destroy us.

If constant violent visual and audio stimuli doesn't effect how kids think, why are there commercials?

You bellered?

Surely you don't think I wish to rain destruction upon my neighbors. Well, there is this particular one...

And, not calling you Shirley, but I think the kids deserve total respect for taking a stand and making the effort they have to change the world. Not so long ago, you were doing the same. "Burn it all to the ground" is, I believe, a.direct quote.

I still don't agree with their agenda. I don't think all guns should be banned. Some of them are sending that message.

There are so many common-sense things that could be done to start fixing the problem. And if they don't do it, others. Until it does get fixed. Some of the kids are talking about them. Most are going too far, IMO.

But all this bs about bombs and whatnot being equivalent is just more dazed and confused deflection. The problem is guns. Illiterate morons and psychopaths off their meds can buy a gun or rifle in 15 minutes, no license, no background check. So can felons, domestic terrorists, and angry spouses.

How much more proof do any of you responsible gun owners need that, unless YOU work with the people for sensible regulation, protecting YOUR right to bear arms, you WILL eventually get your hot steel pried from your cold, dead hands?

Because commercials enter the consciousness and influence wants and desires. Commercials make a kid choose Deadpool over Spiderman figures. Commercials put a kid on a PS4 instead of Xbox. Commercials generally don't result in a kid stealing cc's or identities and racking up five figure sums at Toys R Us, and the very, very few times they do, it makes national news as either the most wicked case of affluenza, or an extreme failure of the system surrounding the child. It's a profound thing. And I notice they don't usually blame commercials and/or Hasbro for these extreme breaches of society. Maybe because it's obviously not their fault?

I wasn't even looking for it because I've already known forever that the claim is horse flop, but in looking at other stuff I did see where they found that in these latest, from Columbine on, over 80% of the perpetrators had little to no gaming in their life whatsoever, let alone a strong influence or obsession. Blaming this stuff on vids is like blaming Ice Cube for the LA riots.

Maybe, but it's not commercials that give children the desire to play or to want toys to play with.

Good god man, how many school shooting has there been? Is that a large enough sample to be quoting statistics? Only 20% of these murderers played violent games. That is not a comforting stat. I say these mass killers or school shooters are on SSDI meds and psychologically out of their ****ing minds.

Do you not believe that a steady diet of porn given to kids will influence their sexual attitudes? Glamorize anything and the behavior increases. Kids minds are moldable. How would you go about brainwashing someone? Start them young and give them drugs and a steady diet of violence, is how I would create a Manchurian candidate. That is also what the military does, is first dehumanize the enemy. Teach them to think of the enemy as Japs, gooks or Hadji's, instead of people. Thats how it's done.

That is what Jihadi's do as well. We are playing catch up on that one. The military drone controls https://www.90percentofeverything.com/2010/01/21/xbox-controllers-used-in-the-millitary-life-mimicking-art/, coincidence, I think not.

So cigarette commercials didn't influence people to smoke? Got it.

And I've not said anything decrying it, despite it being directly against my interest. My only statement was that it won't make a lick of difference. Cynical, yes, but tell me I'm wrong? And in case you were curious,... I do share a lot of the sentiments of our more enthusiastic Righties. I don't think it's arguable that it's all organized by powers that be (not to detract from the fact that students made real effort to participate) and I'll add it is based on the idealistic fantasy land of the 16yr old mind. They're nice thoughts, but...they won't work in the world we live in. They're too pure, and purity is a resource to be plundered for profit or destroyed for same. Again, tell me I'm wrong? But, I will say, for every reason I stated it won't work and doesn't matter, is exactly why people need to wake up and realize it should work and it does matter.

In any case, I trust you now better understand my sentiment of "Burn it all down!" =

I didn't say that at all. In fact, I'm one of the few people in here who doesn't watch cable news, satellite TV, or engage in modern media. I have stated countless times in myriad threads that people need to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Give TV a break for one year and see if your life don't change, precisely because of the bending it does to one's will. But while I not only believe in its influence but know it to be a proven and well tested fact, I do not believe it to be a trigger for this far out, hyper extremist behavior.

I fully believe a large and steady diet of video games can result in some actual and serious issues. Beyond the obvious health stuff of sedentary life, I think it promotes a need or expectation of instant gratification, engenders a harsh and cutthroat way of communicating emotion, and sets the bar of comfortable stimulus at far too high a level. These are certainly problems and can certainly cause later life strife. But playing "No Russian" over and over just isn't going to convince anyone to start spraying. It's not going to break someone in that manner. "Saving Private Ryan" didn't break those old folk, WWII broke them. Remove SPR and you still have a broken person. You need to fix what broke them, and see that no others are broken that way again.
