- subfusc, on 03/30/2008, -3/+53We are Nihilists, Lebowski. We believe in nothing. Yeah, nothing.
- Cpd4224, on 03/30/2008, -0/+40Not really "Nihilistic"...
- mightytribble, on 03/30/2008, -1/+20Most of those shots are from the Royal Armouries in Leeds, UK. A really cool place to visit especially when they're doing live demonstrations.
- freshyill, on 03/30/2008, -1/+18Nihilistic? I don't think that makes any sense at all.
- bimtott, on 03/30/2008, -2/+14Don't worry Donny, they're nihilists. They're nothing to be afraid of.
- Cyrus042, on 03/30/2008, -1/+11The expression of the lion is fitting.
- Flamekebab, on 03/30/2008, -1/+10Here's a few more shots of the display in Leeds, I took them a few years back:

http://i25.tinypic.com/15cbsqo.jpg - Tecton1c, on 03/30/2008, -0/+7My first thought exactly.
- StevesJobs, on 03/30/2008, -1/+8Don't know if Nihilistic is the right word...
- ohmysac, on 03/30/2008, -1/+7Umm.... I don't see any death there. Maybe you clicked a different link.
- SanFran216, on 03/30/2008, -2/+8War! What is it good for? Taking its surviving weapons and making interesting geometric patterns!
- tokyo, on 03/30/2008, -1/+7the word nihilistic does not apply here
nihilism |ˈnīəˌlizəm; ˈnē-|
noun
the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless. - lamiaconfitor, on 03/30/2008, -1/+6you sir, are a supercilious, loquacious, braggart. I defy your assumptions and replace them with my own.
- thcobbs, on 03/30/2008, -1/+6lol... what a short sighted moron.
Vehicles killl hundreds of thousands in America every year. And Guns won American independence, defend many households from attacks, and have provided food for thousands EVERY DAY. - bigj480, on 03/30/2008, -1/+6No, he's one of those people that thinks an inanimate object can be inherently evil. Pretty dumb, huh?
- richbleak, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4...and this is how a botched edit attempt turns a simple movie reference into an epic failure.
- lamiaconfitor, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4Most of these are out of date, historical weapons. In the correct hands, they are tools to deal with one of the most unfortunate but necessary evils. these aren't Ingram sub machine guns in a crack house.
- bigj480, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4This is what your argument sounds like:
I don't see how anyone can be into cars, driving recklessly is dangerous and ignorant. What are they showing off at car shows, their ability to break traffic laws? Those are instruments of death.... what would be more realistic and artistic would be if they were splattered with the blood and brains of the people they caused to be splashed onto the road.
BTW: Cars kill TWICE as many people. Do you want to ban cars because some people use them recklessly? - djAnakin, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3That is incorrect.
If that center package was loaded [with the 8 CALCM's] you could not load all those bombs, and vice versa. Plus, you can see there are already bombs hanging from the external bomb racks, so they couldn't load the two trailers full of CALCM's [left] and nuclear/stealth ACMs [right] [which have now been retired and are being converted to non-nukes].
There are singles of a couple bombs behind the rows, I see a couple JDAMS, Harpoon, a high drag MK-82, and a couple laser-guided GBU's. The bombs all pretty and lined up in the front are 500lb MK-82's, 750lb M-117's.

Whereas guns help solve conflicts quicker and helps thin the population, and made humans the rulers of animals. If wars werent fought by guns, theyd be fought by swords, spears, and bows. - yosempai, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3I love the fact that one of the bayonets is skewed. If it wasn't the display would have been boring.
- sarixe, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3i dare you to lick it
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -1/+4those are pretty cool. This one is the best tho http://uploadingit.com/view/510824_9x36k
- Emnsta, on 03/30/2008, -6/+9I love guns so much...
Beautiful rifles... - cygnus2112, on 03/30/2008, -1/+4Shoot. Did you have to rifle around and gun for such a bad pun, or are you loaded?
- bigj480, on 03/30/2008, -2/+5 I agree, no one should love guns, just like no one should love cars. However, being into both, I know that if I were to say that I love cars no one would say that I need therapy. Being into guns does not infer anything but being into guns. It does not infer that one has bad morals or judgment or that one is prone to violence. Just as being into cars does not mean that one will drive recklessly. Your statement is ignorant and hypocritical.
- Pixelante, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3The power to take life is in the human wielding them. They're only instruments and will not fire or aim themselves. If you're one of those insecure persons who fear tools, you may consider living in a sensory deprivation box, watched 24/7 by CCTVs and fed intravenously. A bit like the UK.
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3Insanebrain is an appropriate screen name for you.....you look at a tool and because you have been "television educated" you see death. Free your mind, get an education, including a firearms and self defense education.
- thickdrummer, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3Yeah, its actually just down my street. I've been there loads of times, taking people round whenever they come over. Never get tired of it. Awesome place.
- Sipx, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3Many old palaces and mansions arranged weapons as art especially in the foyer. This doubled as a display of wealth and a town armory so to speak. This was practiced up until about 200 years ago, even in America.
- boombume, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2Nihilists! ***** me! I mean, say what you like about the tenets of national socialism, Dude, but at least it's an ethos! Also, lets not forget.. lets NOT forget, Dude, that keeping wildlife.. an amphibious rodent, for uh... domestic, you know, within the city... that aint legal either.
- inactive, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2Yes but do you know why the word nihilistic is appropriate for the link you posted but NOT the ones in this article, professor?
- BrainRecall, on 03/30/2008, -1/+3The last picture is a B-52 (with one doing a fly-by in the background) at "full static display of arms." Yes, they can really put all that stuff in/on a B-52 at once.
- saturnx8, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2I'd decorate my place like that.
- yournightmare, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2Not trying to be a prick, just trying to help you out here--the word you're looking for is "imply," not "infer." People infer meaning from things when they see, hear, or read art, speeches/songs, or writings. And people who produce art/speeches/songs/writings/etc. often use them to imply something, which is then inferred by the viewer/listener/reader. That's a ***** explanation, sorry. Anyway, performing an action (like being into guns) may or may not actually imply something, but people often infer that it means one has bad morals or is prone to violence.
- cl2yp71c, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2"I has not eated u!"
- Bmarofsky, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2Reminds me of the Governor's Palace at Colonial Williamsburg, VA. Very impressive.
- djAnakin, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2That is incorrect.

Former 2W1 [B-52 weapons loader], 96th BS, Barksdale AFB, LA. - inactive, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2I was going to say...nihilistic is not a good word for that...kewl pic though
- SwedishNinja, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2I've been there, very cool. I see old weapons as art and a piece of history. I'd rather have an old rifle that has a story to tell like a Springfield musket or a Mosin Nagant rifle than a painting or sculpture any day.
- djAnakin, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2Might as well list what all of that stuff is...

- djAnakin, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2That last picture, of the B-52, I helped set that picture up. That was one of my old jets [former B-52 weapons loader/2W1, Barksdale AFB, LA]
- bigj480, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1Thanx U ser, I not best at using the gramer sum tymes. ;)
- Pixelante, on 03/30/2008, -1/+2Cars kill more than twice as many people as guns. However, the layman who expresses his moral disgust over firearms would rather sacrifice his firstborn rather than give up his rights to drive over 100 kph where the speed limit is 50 kph.
- inactive, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1Just because tomboy501 doesn't know the proper use of the word nihilistic doesn't mean he's unedgumacated.
- lamiaconfitor, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1Riiight because people are that excited about the"right" to break the speed limit. im not saying I disagree with defending gun rights, but this is a silly way to argue the point.
- inactive, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1Wow, how deep you are for a complete jackass. Why don't you brush your hair in front of your face and save your emo comments for the high school girls you're trying to impress.
- imnotminkus, on 04/25/2008, -0/+15th one down (guns and bayonets arranged in a circle on the ceiling) is from the Governer's Mansion in Colonial Williamsburg, Vriginia. The second-last one might be from there, too.
- djAnakin, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1I see no chaff or bomblets.
But, yes, it does pwn all. -
