you presume that being on TV is an awesome thing. it's not 1975 anymore.
All he did was reinforce the perception that he is the tinfoil hat wearing neckbeard nut we all thought he was. 2/28/2013 9:49:04 AM |

guys, i have received a lengthy response from the man himself
i haven't read it yet, i will read it along with the rest of you
Quote : | " Dear Seth LeDown, I just read some of the comments on thewolfweb.com. They are commenting on the Piers Morgan video like they are expert analysts and as if what they saw was the entire interview. I'm not even going to mention how cowardly it is to talk about someone when they aren't there to defend themselves. They all whined and cried to get me banned because they can't handle mere words on the Internet. Tell them not to bother unbanning me though, I have no desire to come back and post because I've moved on. It's classical irony in the highest form that they hold the quality of facts radiating out of the television, especially the Piers Morgan show, higher than the quality of facts emitted out of the Internet. The television is equally as horrible at disseminating false information as the Internet.
It is important to know that the interview was pre-recorded and pre-edited. I knew this before going into the interview. I did the interview anyway. I made everyone well aware that my biggest challenge in life is expressing myself through words. Some people, like myself, like to face their greatest fears head on. That-compounded with the anxiety of being in front of a camera and being tired, against a well-spoken, well-known, anti-gun agenda'd, nationally known television host who gets to edit the footage to his advantage, is no walk in the park. Out of all the television programs that asked for an interview, I specifically chose Piers Morgan, exclusively.
I'm well aware that I was going to look and sound stupid on his show. The users of thewolfweb still haven't figured out after 10 year and that don't care about how stupid I look and sound as long as I learn something. I care about putting ideas out there for discussion. My ideas were censored.
I tried to keep quiet until he asked me some quality questions, but the quality never came. The second half of the interview, I spoke up more, however they cut out pretty much every response that I had about the government, including about the house-to-house gun confiscation after Katrina, the fact that the government is allowed to own assault weapons and they actually USE them and have killed about 3,000,000 people around the world since 9/11. That number blows the number of people who die by domestic violence out of the water. I even advocated the government lead by example and disarm themselves as the "more responsible" party. As for the red eyes, it's because I was exhausted. I had to handle the publicity, nonstop phone calls, stocking the store, grocery shopping, planning, paperwork, before we opened. We still closed at 3am, I barely got any sleep that week. At that time of the interview, we completed one of our busiest weeks in 6 years. We made about a month's worth of customers in one week. We could have made more, but we were so busy that we couldn't answer phone orders and had to turn customers away due to a 2 hour wait. 80% of the customers that came in was open carrying, while 10% had no gun, but a CCW permit. We had AK-47s, Rugel AC556s, 9mm, 45s, and even pocketsized guns the size of a laptop harddrive.
Piers made a comment about "nobody was shot" when guns weren't there, however, he failed to acknowlege that "nobody was shot" when the guns WERE there.
Piers asks how I know customers with guns aren't mentally ill? The answer is you don't know. You never know in any circumstance. A person can walk into piers morgan's building off the street with a gun right now. It's just an absurd question. I can usually tell when someone is "off" by the manner at which the "walk in" to my store. They also drove to my store and if they are mentally ill, is it wise for the government to allow them a license to drive? Don't you think that would have been weeded out at the DMV? Regardless, if a mentally ill person decided to shoot for absolutely no motive or goal, I have plenty of responsible, well-trained gun owners in the store to take care of that business. No SANE criminal is going to try to rob a store with well-trained gun owners sitting all around him. Lastly,
""I am trying to make money because that will... how it's supposed to work is that I can save money and then I can use it later in life to support me when I put my work into society."
was supposed to come out as:
"I am trying to make money because that will... how it's supposed to work is that I can save money and then I can use it later in life to support me AFTER I put my work into society WHEN I RETIRE."
They cut out the part after it that said "There is no amount of money that I can make right now that I can retire on due to inflation. In 30 years from now, my money will be worth less/worthless. I know that sentence that aired came out wrong, but come on--It's not that hard to figure out what I meant to say. I messed my words up merely twice in the whole interview and was lucky enough for them to keep both in the interview. With love, GxB" |

Watching this trainwreck on my DVR. Piers took it easy. He could have spent half the interview nailing him down on the UN comment. 2/28/2013 11:20:24 PM |

tired is a lame excuse
and why would he only accept morgan's interview request if he admits he thought he'd look stupid on tv
but i completely agree about piers being able to edit whatever he wants...thats why you play hardball on every question, not just the later ones that he'll edit out...make him not air the interview because he didn't have any decent questions that you couldn't answer 2/28/2013 11:21:57 PM |

also theres nothing wrong with interrupting Piers...he is obviously gonna interrupt you
if you're going for the "i'm being courteous and a respectful interviewee" you're just gonna get master debated

Who's even talking "facts"? Everyone is pretty much laughing about how he acted like a moron.

How many of you have given an on-camera interview, and how many of you have experience with editing interviews? Because delivering your point in that type of a situation is more difficult than it seems, especially in a hostile environment. I'm not saying he is a genius, but it is completely plausible that the rest of the interview was better than what was shown on the air. 3/1/2013 1:29:25 AM |

the only on camera "interview" i've given in the last 10 years was a little 5 second blurb on a news station where i was an eye witness, nothing like what GxB went through
but if i had known i would be on a CNN show, i think i wouldve prepared better, as well as disputed some of Morgan's bs questions
if i knew i would be nervous, i'd practice with a friend holding a camera in front of me and being a dick and asking me tough questions
you can call this post playing monday morning qb, but thats what i wouldve done
GxB probably doesnt care though, since his business has gotten free nationwide advertising 3/1/2013 1:32:11 AM |

Frankly I question the intelligence of those taunting a gun collecting, shifty eyed grown man who wears hoodies, hangs a political banner in his business, fears a U.N. takeover of the US, and volunteers to take part in a segment of a show with a famously anti-gun celebrity. 3/1/2013 1:51:55 AM |

I, too, was hoping that with years of TDub experience, GxB would have done a much better job at trolling Piers. Also, if I was giving that interview, I would have incorporated every TWW reference i could sneak in there. It's was a great opportunity to step the game up from fucking with WRAL to playing at the national level. 3/1/2013 1:56:12 AM |

Actually, it is not surprising that one of you amateurs here got completely boned by a pro. These are people that do this kind of stuff for a living. If it were so easy then you would all be doing it.
It's like when a budy of mine shocked me once while we were grading homeworks together. I put a little southern rap on and he gets me with a "I seriously think that this music is something that a third grader could come up with" At which point, I was all "Honky you gettin yo PhD son, so you should have like 12 Grammies, 3 Oscars and music label by now"

You guys are really an undeducated lot of folks. the collective stupidity on this website when it comes to basic finance/economics is appalling.
