Footballs & baseballs have already been covered by this thread & even by
professional throwers found quite wanting. And, should you be able to
throw a hand grenade 100 yards or better, it would explode before
landing, pretty well obviating the reason for throwing one in the first
place. It's simply not a feasible feat. Any rock you might throw (by
hand, but I most seriously doubt it) 100 yards would not be an effective
weapon.

Someone around here needs to look up "figure of speech".


*I* certainly didn't even imply that anyone would try to throw a rock for
an 1/8 of a mile as a weapon.

No, but now you've implied that there are 800 yards to a mile.



Seems like folks here, on a group *allegedly* focussed on survivalism,
prefer to avoid talking about the probable collapse of their civilization.

Pretty funny.

But understandable. They think that they only way people can have a decent
life is to live as they do now, or how their ancestors lived.

Which is bizarre, considering that by any rational standards, the quality-
of-life in America just plain stinks.



And their fool ancestors wiped out people who had a significantly superior
culture.

What they need to face is the fact that ALL totalitarian regimes control the
people by controlling the history books.

The Soviets also called their country "The Greatest Country on Earth" and
had libraries full of books that "proved" this "fact".

America isnt even anywhere near the top, even by its own standards.

37th in health care, 14th in longevity.

See trendsresearch.com

And even the lifestyle of the Europeans is based upon exploiting the lands
and lives of people in the "3rd World", and those folks are purely fed up
it.

Industrial-Capitalism is simple too destructive of the land and non-member
populations to continue for long.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Alan is getting so, well, so....... blah.
