The 21 Club shut down after almost 100 years...

Growing up in a border state, I learned to speak the language of the neighbor as a young kid;). Even put it down when my command did their annual "what languages do you speak?" as a joke. Loved pulling out a Loonie from my pocket to show that I keep up on Canadian language and culture. Was a funny joke. Until I watched a Navy Captain repeatedly butcher HMCS Athabaskan's name in front of Canadian officers.

Hi,

You all just have to give ol Steve Urban a break, lol.

It must be really difficult and an emotional drain to spend so many years preparing for doomsday yet the sun rises and the world continues each and every day.

The "Poor" comment struck a nerve all the way back to 2013 when our Dollar was supposed to go bankrupt and everyone was going to be panning for gold again.....

And what is it about HKPro that brings out the "expert" in people, lololol

Sincerely,
Theis

I guess the lesson here is to choose a common everyday user name that wouldn't come up in simple search engines, or pick the name of a famous basketball player or celebrity. Anything to keep your entire online history from showing up with a Google search.
 
Well I guess it takes all kinds of whores to make the world happy these days. As demonstrated in this thread, some people have very thin skins

Hi,

I am reporting you for anti anti semantism, lololol

@MarinePMI this is just a welfare check on you. Blink 2x3 times if you are ok and have not fallen into control of whatever the hell is given to the ol 29 Palms guys, ,lolol

Hi,

Not only that but is is vastly ironic when someone is so vocal about survival this, preparations that, wilderness this, etc etc but lays down a digital path so bright that Stevie Wonder has to put sunglasses on to keep his retinas from burning.

Theis
 
Give those 29 palms guys a break. If I remember right, the only good restaurant around there was an old 50s style diner. Good milkshakes though, which come in handy in that part of the world.

What if everyone has called you a celebrity name most of your life? Some days, I can’t separate fact from fiction anymore.
 
Dude, @Steve_In_29 , give it up bud. From a fellow HK owner, walk away.

Btw...... Your online activity is bright enough to light up a city block. That’s just facts.
Anyone with a cell phone, email account, credit cards, etc and posts on ANY social media gives the .gov (or anyone else) all the info they need. No one is invisible if they live a modern life. Even those who think VPNs and other measures will protect them are kidding themselves if someone REALLY wants to get you. I have been on the web for decades (since 1200baud was a fast modem) and could care less.

Most forums have etiquette about posting personal information in open forums, seems this one just employs the libs favorite "doxing" against those they deem less worthy.

Interesting that you supposedly looked me up on the web, yet have to make stuff up about what you found in order to try to denigrate me. Seems I struck a nerve, to make you go all 4chan weaponized autism.

While I'm not a millionaire like my brother and his wife, I am not a "poor" (term thrown around by those trying to feel better about themselves). I retired years ago at 56 and we live comfortably on 72 acres in rural AZ.

Never prepared for doomsday but am on a forum about being prepared. What part of being prepared for things is bad in your eyes? I did live in earthquake country for 30+ years after all. Those of you living in areas that see tornadoes, forest fires, floods, hurricanes, etc don't prepare for the eventuality? Just gonna let Uncle Sugar take care of you after. As you cry on TV in your wife beater t-shirt about how your life is ruined and someone (else) needs to do something to help you?

Heck I first learned about being prepared as a Boy Scout, lived through a major flood as a kid and the Marines reinforced planning for all eventualities. None of those scan-demic shortages to include ammo/guns (that some here are whinning about like little bitches) have affected me at all. I never made comments worrying about the collapse of the dollar nor needing to pan for gold. Though I have (correctly) pointed out that you can't eat gold during a collapse and that people aren't going to trade you their last can of beans for a Krugerrand.

And again what was apparently fake "expert" in your opinion about the HKPro post you dug up? I was a Marine for 17+ years (fact)...we were taught about improvised explosives(fact)...and a simple bomb on an LPG tanker truck would indeed have killed way more people then someone lobbing a few hand held explosives into a crowd or shooting from a hotel(fact).

Que the dildo pix and immature insults in 3...2...
 
I am curious how he got banned off 1911forums...that was a rather benign, laid back forum...
I don't really remember but it might have had to do with pissing off the Kimber fanbois with my description of the POS I got from that maker and its total failure at customer service. Or could have been pointing out the anti-2A infiltrators that the mods thought was being mean.
 
If he isn't Papa_rock_cal and hasn't earned the coveted "Combat Cockfag Award", then I'm gonna go ahead and make the call and issue the award for meritorious service during a panic buying spree.

Steve, this award is highly coveted and was last issued by General Veer_G in summer of 2018 during the battle of fagistan in which another operator was injured when sharp words cut into his jugular.

But I'm thinking you probably just need an oak leaf cluster.

Wear with pride.

The 21 Club wasn't just a restaurant, it was a dining icon and staple of NYC eateries. More importantly, it survived prohibition, a World War and much more- but it couldn't survive the despot Cuomo.

I suppose some might find that humorous or merely a symptom of New York's descent into despotism under their new tyranny of a majority.

Maybe.

But it's more a canary in the coal mine and what's to come for freedom and liberty. Not just in New York, but everywhere the liberal scourge is allowed to stand.

People's livelihoods are being stolen from them. Restaurant owners and workers who have toiled hard to build businesses are having it all taken from them. For what? The mindless, purposeless dictates of rulers who do it not because they should, but because they can.

These are our brothers, and we should not let them struggle alone.

It's about time we stood together against this tyranny. We must ignore the voices of division trying to pit us against each other by race, sex, political party, and forge ourselves together around one cause- liberty and the fundamental rights enshrined in our Declaration.

Freedom lost is seldom regained easily or without mortal struggle. It's about time people realized the truth of this maxim, and joined the fight.

Considering any Mod worth their salt can verify who I am, I'm gonna just say...Fuck you...to you and your award.
 
Another one gone....

This is the KEY part of the closure...
coupled with the federal government which has delayed signing a long-term lease are factors in the decision

Bottom line is that NOTHING lasts forever....current state of the USA proves that.

For a business that is (was) presently operating under a valid lease, I tend to think a "lack of customers" (due to covid restrictions) might have a wee bit more to do with it. :unsure::whistle::rolleyes:

Did you happen to see the headline from Michigan yesterday that because of Witmer's closure orders, one third of small businesses in Michigan were folding permanently ? One third. Permanently. Let that sink in. And, I'd seriously bet that's not the end of it by a long shot.

What is it with your infatuation to defend the people that are literally gutting this Country right before your eyes ?

And, you probably still haven't figured out why you're catching so much shit around here........:rolleyes:

It seems, "reading comprehension is an uncommon virtue" on here.

Please point out where I "defended" ANYONE in this thread.

I simply pointed out that covid or not, if the .gov doesn't renew your lease on land they own you are toast. They were operating under short term leases that don't allow for proper business planning nor the ability to secure credit if needed. Bank isn't going to loan money if you might be out of business in a year.

From what I have read, nationwide it's something like 60% of small businesses that are gone for good.

I figured out the catch shit part long ago. People are falling all over themselves to prove their loyalty to the in crowd and get promoted among the herd.
 
Friend went to a popular NE region chain restaurant last night........The 99s.

American Pub style place that is appreciated for popcorn served at the table, pub cheese and crackers and cheap steak tips with fries.

Their thing is also a big draft beer served at the table. He orders a Budweiser version of one of those big drafts.

They were out of Budweiser. OK Bud Light - out of it. He asked for some other brand of piss on draft - none.

OK Bud Longneck than - none.

Saturday night.

This country is dying.

Bernie will have his way.

Why do you need a whole aisle of deodorant choice if one deodorant will work for everyone.

I fear Patchouli will be the fragrance soon.

Jesus, people like you are fucking dense. You and people that think like you do just can't get past this idea of "groupthink", can you ? It's a simpleton's way of baselessly dismissing other people's opinions that you don't happen to agree with. Except, it doesn't hold water.

I'm not trying to prove any type of loyalty to anyone. I could give two fucks if anyone thinks I am "loyal". Jeesus, what a load of crap. What you are witnessing when you get pushback on this site is independant thinkers that coincidentally, think in similar fashion with each other (And, they don't agree with you). Oh, and in the verbal form, it is called Freedom of Speech. Just in case you were unaware, possibly due to your crappy education from our liberal/communist educational system.

I'm out. Ignore button. You're a fucking waste of time. :rolleyes:

Ya know there hard charger, you "really" don't know your audience, do you? It's a damn shame. I bet you're not a half bad Joe when you're not being a "Cuck". Here's a hint. You're being fucked with because you're displaying a Sandy Vagina, Jimmy.

Enjoy your Ribbon. You've earned it. For reference, it goes just before your NAM. Get your shit all squared away and give us a pic of your Salad Bar, mkay?

And again with reading comprehension, I have given my rough age in this thread which shows I sure didn't go to school under the recent liberal/communist system. Yet here I am being accused of being some liberal youngster.

I understand there is mucho knowledge on shooting and other subjects here (I originally joined for the NVG stuff) and I bow to that expertise but that doesn't bestow some special protection in general chit-chat.

Second time the "group think" comment has been tried to be put in my mouth in this thread, must be a pat reply on here, Never accused the board of group think but there are some who think piling on once the cool kids start is fun it seems. Even resorting to using slander, mis-representtaion and doxing intimidation to try to shut down the perceived offender.

Though now that you mention it
independant thinkers that coincidentally, think in similar fashion with each other
sure does seem to be a valid definition of your "group think" bogeyman.

Ignore button is for pussies that can't deal with other opinions. Over 30 years on the web and I have never used it yet. It will be tough but I will try to not lose too much sleep over the ignore from someone whose opinion means less to me than my dogs.
