Guns don't kill people; people kill people. But we can't outlaw people...

On Monday, September 13th, at midnight, the national ban on military-style assault weapons will expire.

Many people are upset with this because it will allow these extremely deadly weapons to be legal in the States.

You tell me... is the lift of this ban a good thing or a bad thing?

note: the gun pictured will not be effected by the lift of this ban and will still be illegal.

iPod update, again.

This morning when I checked, I had all of my referrals ready for approval. Just a few hours later...

Your Status:
Congratulations! You have completed your requirements. Now just get 5 friends to complete an offer.

You have not received credit for 1 or more of your referrals because they do not appear to be unique user(s).

I had heard of people being surprised by the free ipod offer not working for various reasons...

But cbent1... did you really think they'd let you get two ipods with two different email accounts? ;-P

Now neither of them count, but I'm hoping for myself that at least 2 of the other 7 referrals I have will be completed.

You know I'll keep you updated ;).
