If you outlaw guns, then only.... - Page 11

"... "I see a gentleman pounding on another gentleman... "

Class, remember, gentlemen do not pound other gentlemen.

Neither do they obstruct justice, which is how I'd interpret trying to prevent someone from writing down a license plate number. I wonder what color the various skin tones of the people involved were, and why cops would witness someone being shoved 15 feet and lunged at and then arrest the same person when he attempts to defend himself and then let his attacker go free.

I'm sure it's all good.

That sounds very familiar... "lets stop lawbreaking before it happens!"
It has always been an excuse for removing freedoms and taking over populations.
Thanks for making it very clear to us all.

Right, that's like banning all private planes because a baseball player flew into a building.

Would it not be more sensible to ban baseball players?

Easier anyway. You see how much headway we're making getting MaggieL to beat her arsenal into plowshares, what chance do you think you've got getting her to hand over her plane?

Sure, and don't put a life vest on your kid until after he drowns. And don't stop smoking until after you have cancer. And let's not ban DDT. Let's not stop North Korea from having nukular weapons until after they massacre thousands of people.

There certainly is a reasonableness to prevention.

pre-emptive strike? Does this sound familiar to anyone at all??? I wonder who you'll be voting for at the next election.

Spex...in my very humble opinion, I think you would be better served not to quote lines like that in an open forum where there are women present who have been the vicitm of rape.

That's probably because you've never been raped before lumber.

it seems to me, that if we worried about offending everyone that has had some misfortune in their lives, this would be a verrry boring place.

I don't want to belittle whatever experience you've had with this particular topic. I just want to point out that when a victim of a crime(or any bad mojo, for that matrter) experiences their victimization, it is their perception that changes, not the rest of the world. YOU may be better served if he did not make light of rape. you really can't expect people to see things through your eyes though. admonishing him for it is rather unfair, actually.

Aliantha · 10-24-2006, 07:50 PM

That's very kind of you Spex. I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable.

mrnoodle · 10-25-2006, 09:23 AM

No, I have a means of defense to prevent it. It's not foolproof, but it's better than legislation.

morethanpretty · 10-25-2006, 10:27 AM

I like guns because they are shiny!

Not really, I think that they are overly praised by gun advocates. They are not more effective then other means of self protection, learn self defense fighting, carry pepper spray or a stun gun if you're that scared of other people. Don't walk down a dark alley. Hell, I don't even go into our greenhouse because I'm scared that hobos live there (I dreamt it).

Shiny guns are all well and good on display, but in darkness a subdued finish is less likely to betray your location.
