Heh...I don't like anybody telling me how to think, about anything.

If I like something, it's because I like it, not because someone told me to. Likewise, if I don't like something, it's a decision I've made, no one made that decision for me. In general, I'm not influenced a great deal by external forces.

I am a critically endangered species.

I didn't say you listened to them. But you switch off whatsisname because he started trying to tell people what to think about guns. And criticising Heston is like sacrilege when he has tried to do the exact same thing - tell people what to think about guns.

So - you don't dislike whatsisname because he tried to tell people what to think about guns. You dislike him because he tried to tell people to be anti-guns, unlike Heston who you like and who tried to tell people not to be anti-guns.

It's a minor point.

So, I can't like and respect someone who likes and promotes guns, just because they like and promote guns? It's not possible that I thought Charlton Heston was a badass long before I knew shit about guns or politics? Is it possible that I can think the same thing as a famous person and my opinion not be a product of that person's political influence?

I respect you, despite your stated position on any number of issues. Should I rethink liking and respecting you? Because, you aren't shy about letting it be known you don't like our gun laws, or guns in general, and I like guns. (Sidenote: Why do you give the first happy damn about our politics? Srs question.)

I'm sure not feeling respected. But, then, I rarely have, here.

Also, you might try looking up and watching the damn videos.

It's not ok for anybody to tell anybody how/what to think. That includes you and me. I'm not out here saying you have to like guns. You can dislike them all you want. But don't turn into a gorilla and climb up on my back if I happen to mention something about guns.

No, no you can't. I'll try to get you an updated list of who you can like on a timely basis. You know, so you don't embarrass yourself at the bar or school board meeting.

No Sir, no thanks are necessary.
