Men's Health article
Anybody read the load of crap written in this month's Men's Health magazine? There is an article about men and guns and the guy does nothing but talk about how if you buy a gun you are more likely to kill yourself and he rants on the suicide angle for half the article. Then he describes his range trip and he is upset because he can't tell how the safety works on his Buckmark .22 and that it "goes off the second he touches the trigger".

yeah
I was thinking - this is not the guy that I want at the range with me if he doesn't even know how to work the safety. He said it should have a "red dot" and he also complained that there was no "indicator" that there was a round in the chamber. Do people need EVERYTHING done for them??? If this guy can't even figure out if his gun is loaded he shouldn't be out there. I think Men's Health should stick to fitness advice and keep their social commentary to themselves. OK...rant over.

I agree with WildhelpmeAlaska. There are several members of this forum who are (substitute whatever hateful term) and I have no problem with their lifestyle or freedom to live their life.

Men's Health use to be an exeptional magazine for both men and women. However the past year I have seen its quality go downhill in all aspects of content. I haven't read the newest edition yet. It's sitting on the computer desk where I tossed it out of disgust thinking of last month's. I'll have to flip throught it now.

I read the article in a grocery store this morning, its pretty much a steaming pile of crap. I guess its what you get when an article is written by a sissified 'man' (I would say woman with a penis, but it would be an insult to most women I know who have more of a backbone than the author will ever have) for other sissified men.

I believe the reference that you are looking for is "metrosexual" (or whatever the new term is).

I saw something small and wobbly, wandering along I-35 yesterday near Waco.
