Are you a Democrat, Republican, or a Southerner??
 

Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small children.

Suddenly, a Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities,
raises the knife, and charges at you...

You are carrying a
Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?

THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:

Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
What is a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP?
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Is he really a terrorist? Am I guilty of profiling?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day.
Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
This is all so confusing!

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy!'
'Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?! '

Son: 'Can I shoot the next one?!'

Wife: 'You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!

left wing /= soft hearted pacifist.

I wouldn't ever walk down a deserted street with my wife and two small children in the first place.

[Philadelphian, aka Democrat]

I may be a left-leaning New Englander BUT --- that guy wold be dead in a heartbeat (or lack of one...):D

Southern Republican.

I cry "Allah Akbar, brother, Daikhallat"

He drops the knife, we become friends.

Then I stab him.

That is some of the finest poetry I've ever read. It started out with an obvious haiku influence, then employed shocking imagery as a bridge stanza...leading directly to the haunting conclusion, and the age-old question "what do you do?" What do you do, indeed? Striking.

I think it needs to go in "Creative Expressions."

;)

What would Jesus do?

I'll bet he wouldn't...

which is hilarious, considering the typical repubican and southerner self-identification as christians.

BURN!

:lol:

Ok, the thing all you wrong people don't get is that Jesus was a "do as I say, not as I do" kind of person. Just like the Republicans. In fact, Jesus was a Republican. And God wouldn't think twice about smoting that fucker and then reloading. Jesus was just God's Republican salesperson, really......

Yeah, modern christians have rejected the old testament, 'cept for the peices they want to keep.

The "no sex with ducks" bits?

That's why they only fuck goats.


Too soon?

Hey, Ducks isn't here to give her opinion.

Another successful thread derailment brought to you by Teh Cellar and monster Inc. :lol:

We get by with a little help from our fiends. ;)

Lordy. It looks like 2/3 of y'all would just stand back and let your family be raped/murdered. Tsk, Tsk.

Remember: "A country boy will survive...."

Hang on - is it a terrorist or a rapist?

I've lost the plot again.

That's why we're not so concerned whether the country boys survive or not. They're so confusing!

Really is a terrorist. Just an expression we use of a rapist/murdering sob. Some of the Mississippi slips out when I type

If I have to shoot the man, then you and the boys in blue (and the fbi and the cia) have not been doing your/their job. I shouldn't have to carry a gun.

In the mean time, I and my family will avoid deserted streets.

Oh, a klan member...

If you are afraid of rapists, then the terrorists have won. Now, let me tell YOU something Pendejo...

Ouch buddy. That's "akin" to using the "n-word" in these parts. Plus I doubt if the Klan accepts that many Jews

I meant the rapist/murdering sob is a klan member, not you.

Ducks Unlimited.

My best friend in college, a "faculty brat" whose father was a biology professor (Dr Dad, to me)...well, her dad was in Ducks Unlimited and when I first heard of it I thought it sounded so funny.

Like The Last of the Mohicans. "Hey, that wasn't the last of the mohicans. Look at all the Mohicans. It's Mohicans galore." (paraphrasing from Second City TV...it's supposed to be in this video but it's long and I don't want to watch it all right now):



Or: we're lousy with mohicans around here.

:lol:

Hang on - is it a terrorist or a rapist?

This dude ,


Boom head shot , no question at ALL !!

WOW!

I need a transcript...all I understood was "motherfucker."
I don't see that as a reason to need a gun, but a better police force.

0.16 ... "Djyou unastan wut ahm sayin?"

Err, not very well, but I get the impression you're a dick.

the police can't be everywhere all the time!! budget cuts are causing reductions in many departments. i think the best response is a well armed populace who are not afraid to intervene when "evil rears"

Hence the need to increase taxes on the 1%. Thanks for coming around, big fella. :p:



You'd be even busier, with people shooting each other.

Oh yeah, that's what I want...
to have my local police proposing that all my neighbors be armed. :eek:

This urban vs rural perspective always surprises me. All my neighbors are armed and it seems important to everyone's security. If the State Police respond from the nearest barracks we're looking at 45? minutes of response time. A couple townships have gone in together on some dangerously unprofessional officers. We don't really want a police presence except for doing the paperwork after car accidents etc... It is the assumption that people are basically good that keeps us safe.

The police can be everywhere some of the time, and somewhere all of the time, but they can't be everywhere all the time.



There just aren't enough donut shops :D

we'd be a lot better off if these illegals were paying taxes to help offset their abuse of federally funded programs.

Mississippi has the Castle Act (your home is your castle and you can defend it from reasonably perceived danger. it also allows you to carry a concealed weapon in your car). It is really helping with decreasing the number of home invasions, etc. We never had a bit of trouble at our farm. Any strange vehicle I met in the driveway with a gun in my hand. Word got out and we never had a break in!! Now nobody bothers us in town because they all know the crazy guy with a bunch guns lives in that house. Plus young men seem to be complete gentlemen when they take my daughters out

People shooting each other? Yep, it happens but it sure cuts down on repeat offenders!!

dude if yer wooing brits you can't talk like that

Totally agree.
My friends in rural areas have totally different perspectives on these types of issues than those who live in suburban or city locales.

I don't see that as a reason to need a gun, but a better police force.

ok its you in the car with your kids ( future kids)
Crack head starts this shit
Flattens a tire or disables you car some how so you cant run him over
he smashes a window and grabs one of your kids

Now you can comment on needing a better Police force and how Society has failed this poor man all you want ,

me , at the first swing i would have been trying to get away/ run him over ,
but he lays a hand on a kid ,
POW POW POW , one less crack head
end of disscussion

Brooklyn mother dies shielding schoolchildren from gunfire


Good story zippy. I feel the same way. But there are other stories that don't have a happy ending written with a gun.

Would that story have ended differently if she had been armed?

Today's timely coincidence:

Absolutely. Children should be locked up whenever not in use. :p:

armed with what? This? Or this?

I doubt it.

But there are those that believe differently.

The article fails to suggest whether the children should be locked inside or outside the home.

Actually, to me, the sentence suggests that it is the house that should be locked up.

We have had a wide variety of crime in my neighborhood, but nothing like that!

The most similar incident, I think, was the woman who was yanked out of her car by a carjacker at 8:30 in the morning. Thankfully, she was OK and the police caught the perp after a few blocks.

I don't think a crackhead would ever want someone's kid (probably has plenty of his own). He would need something he could sell quickly for more crack, like your phone. You could shoot him for that, I guess...

Crack head / terrorist / meth head / Pedo / Robby the fucken Robber / Dumb ass / garden Variety Bad guy
All the same when it comes to a situation like this ,

Round Here it would sound like a small WAR Happening ,
to the cops " Hell i didn't know or CARE what his deal was , I was worried about the kids "
Cops " Oh Ok , thanks for the Help "

Let's face it. Most on here are "sheeple" who believes the government will always be there to protect them within 15-30 seconds. When in rural areas help can be 30-45 mins away.

Around here the home invasions are carefully planned around the work day so they won't inconvenience anyone. The people leave for the work day and someone puts a brick through their window, nabs a quick few things and leaves without anyone noticing (because the neighbors are at work too).

Sarge, I believe you will personally be there to protect me. I'm sure you'll manage it somehow. :)

UT, as I use the term, "home invasion" is when the residents are at home. If they are absent it is burglary. Is it different there?


The phrase "home invasion" is quite a new term, the same crime has existed for years under the name of aggravated burglary.

Oh and burgle (verb), burgled (past participle, adjective), burglar (personal noun). If someone uses burglarized then I'm upping them to burglarizerer.

Well then around here there are no home invasions, as long as you make it a rule to only deal with civilized people.

I'll bet that's rare. Hasn't happened to me in 52 years. Or anyone I know, probably not you. I knew someone who had his own gun wrestled away from him and used on him, killing him. I know someone who missed his one foot by inches while target shooting.

If everyone was armed, there would be increased death due to mistaken intentions (the guy took your kid because he thought s/he was in danger) and cross fire.

I hear of home invasions occasionally in other parts of the city, but it seems rare. If they started happening all the time, more people around here might keep guns in the house. It could be that they already do keep them, just no one talks about it.

The two 'home invasions' in my neighborhood over the years resulted in the residents getting shot and killed, but word was they were drug dealers or involved in some other kind of shady business.

We have both kinds, of course, and a lot of the home invasions are related to word getting around that someone has a grow-room in their house. That and fires from amatuer wiring jobs are the main risks of cannabis, it seems.

Guns are used on Cops, too.

Yes, violence against cops is all too common in Philly. They get shot at, punched, hit with cars...and even get cheesesteaks thrown at them.

More truth in that than you may think. A little over a year ago, my neighbor was shot in the back by her son. He is now locked up after the fact.

So, you would have been happy to hang out with that fine upstanding member of society until the police decided to show up?

Probably wasn't more than 15-30minutes...:eyebrow:

I remember you talking about that.
