All is quiet that I decided to make a little noise. I finally sneaked the M1 Garand in the firing range this morning and hell, when they said its a very...
I can hear you noise from here Rey. Wow, copper bullets, perhaps, do not penetrate a 1/4 inch thick steel plate at point blank. To penetrate a 3/4 inch thick...
No, I specifically chose a clip of FMJs but yes, there are bullets that came with the rifle that are piercing bullets as marked with black paint on the tip and...
Saan ka, Rey? Maybe I can work out where you can practice that damned thing without too much risk on yourself and others. Jeez. Men and their guns. Email me on...

This is so true, the generation to come will lose it's value in our culture because it's not their cup of tea, even in the true traditional culture. I went to...
Wow, thanks for your reply. I do think that any effort to perserve the language and culture should be encouraged. Chauvinism, the thought that either speaker...
It's ironic that people who try to mobilize people into taking this or that cause usually do the least to further the cause. In this group for instance, some...
I think that the partial data presented is to give evidence to the age long debate on the imperialism of tagalog over other Filipino languages as if it's not...
The study you are writing about here is old, and supported by new data. In Pinas there is this idea like most countries around the world believed that having a...
Tumbaga, In desperate times for man in search of meaning, his own culture and language are his ultimate retreat or fall back. He must come home to his...
I appreciate all your points, but at the same time there is some value in having a medium of exchange. I do agree that knowing how to speak English is almost...
