And if you're not "protecting" yourself or a loved one, is it worth killing for?

1. False.
2. Yes. Because your first premise is incorrect.

Then he shall die.

Oh, no... the hand-holders want to disarm you... and did disarm the students, so over thirty of them died.

The purple part resembles the mouth, therefore this researcher failed to list the weaknesses of his statistical mode, therefore the study is invalid and no evidence exists that blips may or may not be eaten by this round yellow-purple thingy.:o

You don't play much Pac-Man, do you?

Really? Tell us all the stories when you failed to avoid conflict or failed to resolve conflict in a peaceful manner.

There's a term for this: Closed Minded.

Actually, no, I will not answer you questions for two reasons. You don't answer mine and it is sad, bordering on sick, for you to want to hear those kinds of stories.
It is not closed minded, it is experience. Where is yours?

Probably not, since it's a long way from 1983.

Any chance I get to use this quote from Baseketball, I will:

Denslow: Now wait a minute, hear me out! Now you kids with your loud music and your Dan Fogelberg, your Zima, hula hoops and Pac-Man video games, don't you see? People today have attention spans that can only be measured in nanoseconds.

Cop-out alert.

Use to. When it first came out, when I was a teen and college student. Wasn't that before you were born?

Since I was getting ready to graduate from college back then and Dan Fogelberg was in fact before 1983, I suspect you were what? 4 years old?

Who, me? I remember my friend's Junior High aged brother telling us (high school girls) about this amazing game you could play at the grocery store. Back then, it was fascinating!

I forgot you were in my age range. :o

I'm an old bat...42 (though am told I look early 30's, clean living and all) :) Graduated HS in '83 and college in '87!

That was the only place we could play it back then, I use to play it at the 7/11. That and Donkey Kong, and a bunch of other Atari games, I can't even remember them all. We use to play those at the Pizza place just off campus. Back then we could drink beer at the age of 18 (3.2), you just had to drink twice as much.

I think those two posts are in direct conflict. Nice try, though.

And all the gun holders want to kill you, arm all the students so at least half of them may die. :right:

The US comes in at 3.72/100,000 and interestingly enough Northern Ireland comes in at 5.24, Brazil at 10.58, Estonia at 8.07, Mexico at 9.88, and Italy, even at 1.88! Italy comes in at more than half what the US does, but I don't ever hear of anyone cancelling honeymoons to Italy or Ireland or trips to Carnivale because they are afraid of being shot.

It's your choice to live in fear. Duck duck, I've read enough of your drivel here that I sincerely hope that you never come back to my country. We have our problems, but your country has its own. With your head that firmly stuck in the sand, my only wish is that the internet didn't have subterranean reach.

I never said america was the most violent nation in the world for gun violence. Maybe you should actually pay attention to what people are saying before spouting off your rubbish. Perhaps a good reading comprehension course would do you good as soon as you leave that fantasy world you live in.
