Second... SHit load of double standards around here. One group can bitch and moan, others cannot. One group can name call, others cannot. One group can drop "thread bomb" pictures, other are ver boden... I don't understand it.

When, pray tell, has anyone stopped you for thread bombing?

The only thread that could even slightly be considered technically "thread bombed" by me would be your gay hot guys thread. And I did it in jest. I thought it was some pretty funny shit. Others not so. Some people don't get the joke and that is ok.

I think it is excellent advice, don't like it, don't go in the thread... it is very simple.
People are always going into threads an leaving stupid comments like, In The Coffee Thread... "I don't drink coffee". It takes a real genius to do that. A real contribution. |

A lot of us do similar--including you and me. Jeez, not everything has to be a genius contribution. The Cellar would become The Graveyard.

I think we should all just stop posting new threads. That should solve the problem.

My only question is, what is it about guns that make perfectly reasonable people into complete ASSholes?

I think it's because it's a very polarizing issue, like abortion and immigration. A lot of folks feel very strongly either way. But no one is ever convinced to change their minds.

Quote:
People who would use a handgun on another human being are inherently aggressive. They have to be, since the intention of having a handgun is, at its most extreme conclusion, to kill someone who threatens them, someone near them, or their stuff. They also have to be inherently paranoid, because they live their lives with the anticipation that something bad will happen to them. So why do they turn into Assholes? Because they don’t want to admit that they’re scared, or that they would actually take someone’s life. Beyond those reasons, it’s hard to defend having a handgun. And when their other rationalizations fail, they resort to what they naturally do – they shoot the opposition with names, instead of bullets. They insult, belittle and ridicule their opponents, like pointing a handgun at them. When you are pointing a handgun at someone, you don’t have to talk anything out, do you? Most handgun-owning Cellarites justify owning a handgun by saying they need it to protect themselves, and their stuff, in their home. Some have other reasons, some won’t state their reasons, but predominately, that’s the justification. A handgun is not the most effective way to protect a home or stuff. [Someone] scoffed at floodlights and bars on the windows, but when they’re used with alarms and good locks, they will keep her safer from a potential intruder than having a handgun inside the house. If you don’t secure your perimeter, you could be woken out of a sound sleep being poked with the barrel of a gun. How would your handgun help in that situation? If you answer your door, and the intruder pushes through and beats your brains in as you try to get to your handgun, how did it help? If you answer the door with your handgun in your hand, loaded, with the safety off, or sleep with it in the same condition, under your pillow, bad things can happen. It would be easy to accidentally discharge the weapon, or for a child to get hold of it, with all the negative consequences of that, or for the intruder to get possession of it and use it on the owner or the owner’s family.

I also told you to piss off when you PM'd me just to call me a dick becuase you apparently weren't fighting with enough people already. You're not debating spex, you're being a troll, and you're not worth my time.

Then you go off and apologize to everyone except me, the person who never insulted you, now you act like you had a reason for freaking out? Cute. Many people own handguns to target practice, as collectibles, as art, as heirlooms... you make assumptions. Handguns are not perfect, but they are better than not having one. People keep saying it, you keep choosing not to read it. But, if you believe all of that, cool... don't buy one. Last edited by rkzenrage; 05-29-2007 at 02:48 PM. |

You're right. I re-read the thread, and my response to your post was much harsher than you deserved. Please accept my sincere apology.
