The more people are talking about something, the less they are doing it. The more an xtian talks about honesty, the more dishonest you know they are. The more a star is talking about sex, the more you know they have nothing to do with that. The gun owners keep talking about their commandments and other religious things so you know they're not living by them.

Someone down the mountain from me got a new AK-47 type gun for Christmas and I had to listen to them firing it off for 40 minutes this afternoon! When they finally stopped another person further down the mountain starting firing theirs off to show they also had one of these rifles. Scary is all I can say.
