you cant tell me that they hit the two companies that make markers that are the biggest competition to their impulse. bushmasters and vikings. vikings are all you read about anymore as the new great marker.

their patent is like rubbermaid suing everybody who makes trash cans cuz they were the first to claim ownership on an idea thats been in use for years.

imho, aka is even worse than sp for asking for donations. how many kids will wake up to no presents thursday morning? how many kids will go to sleep hungry every night? but aka needs your help to fight off the evil smart parts. aka can take a long walk off a short pier. i hope they lose.


anyone (agd included) who is not prepared for their turn with sp deserves what they get.

Logamus please shut up, learn to spell motivate and get your facts straight, we asked if we could start a fund to help them not aka themselves. Shartley Smartparts is most likely attacking aka because they are small and an easy way to get precidence for later trials, For the 1200 guns aka has sold smartparts wouldnt make 20 grand off royalties. If they get precidence and get a bigger company with that then they make big money. By wishing for aka to fail you wish to jeopardize a company
that people work at and make their livelyhood at. You just wished that people suffer and lose their jobs so dont go trying to imply guilt on people donating to AKA.

logamus: AKA has not asked for anything. Several people in the AKA forum at PBNation expressed interest in donating to support their fight, and AKA accomodated them. The donation drive is being conducted entirely by the consumer community.

that all being said it is our money and we will choose to spend it where we want.

until someone stands up and fights it, and gets it tossed out, it stands as LAW.

actually its not law yet...since nobody has actually fought it..and for that matter what is this whole thread talking about? so as usual you defeat your whole stance in your own words.

Oh yeah Logamus have you donated to any children for christmas because my parents and I raised money on our own accord to give presents to a family that would have no presents for christmas if we hadnt done anything. Just thought I would say that after he implied that people donating to aka didnt care about other peoples suffering.

When you have to continually attack me and not simply address the issue, you have lost your case. Sorry. And when was the last time I threw any rocks (minus CB ). Stop living in the past and digging up crap just to try to cover your own wrongs.

And the issue was helping a for profit business fight their battles, not about a class action law suit. So as usual, YOU defeat your whole stance by not paying attention to what others actually write.

I agree!

[logamus]

sure spend your money how you wish, i just think there are far better ways to spend it and im intitled to think that.

spantol, do you not think that if aka said thanks but no thanks there would be a "legal defense fund". regardless of whos idea it was, they fully support it.

prox9, your spelling observations have been duly noted. i will also note that i have the same right to my oppinion as you do to yours, so telling me to "shut up" is rather childish and not very becoming. i will also refer you to the fact that aka has done nothing to stop this. they are taking donations with no shame regardless if it was their idea.


its a cold hard world boys and girls, you can either compete or you cant.

[spantol]

Then Sam, and those like-minded, this is not the thread for you. If you wish to discuss the relative merits of this effort, please start your own thread.

logamus: I can't quite parse this. I think what you're asking is if I believe that AKA would have started such a thing on their own. I do not.

because of this I am going to help them out by buying a viking and then I will go over to my friends and pee on his impulse and then burn it and take pictures and send them to smart parts also their customer service SUCKS I had an old shocker and wanted to ask a question the told me to email tech support and the y told me to email blah blah and they told me to go to tech support and back and forth so down with sp because of their stupid patent it shouldn't be this way
