In the day to day life people are self conscious, fearful,etc of what others think about them. So we stifle our deeper feelings and thoughts to keep our asses out of trouble.

Though it still is a smart move to not say "nigger" in a real life conversation with a black person.

I am an American and I am for gun control but, not in the sense people think. Most gun control supporters want guns completely gone which is a Utopian pipe dream. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much manpower and time you put into it. Removing guns from the hands of ordinary citizens only places the guns in the hands of the worst offenders, criminals and cops.

One of the first steps a government that wants total control is to ban guns. This removes the citizens ability to fight back against the government when it institutes its rules.

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms; history shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected people to carry arms have prepared their own fall."

- Adolf Hitler

"If the opposition (citizen) disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves."

- Josef Stalin

"Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal"

-Attorney Generral Janet Reno
----------------------------------
The founding fathers knew that all governments become tyrannical over time so the bill of rights was written. These rights are granted to us by ourselves. Ultimately it is the people who have the final say. Tyrannical governments don't want you to have a say, just obey.
------------------------
"No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

- Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, Proposed Virginia Constitution, 1776
------------------------
The Constitution preserves "the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation. . . (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."

- James Madison, of Virginia, The Federalist, No. 46
----------------------
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

- Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
---------------------------
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) asserts that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."

- Thomas Jefferson
---------------------------
That pretty much debunks the "the second amendment doesn't give you a right to bear arms" crowd. The intentions of Thomas Jefferson (and the founding fathers) were clear about the second amendment.

I do mind "common sense" gun control. Short waiting periods, background checks, restrictions on assault weapons but, not everyone needs a damn rocket propelled grenade laying in the back of their closet.

Sometimes I get depressed when I think about this. The very people who try to save the rights of everyone are having their rights stripped from them by the very people they protect. "You don't have a right to carry a gun" (even though its obvious that I do get that right) while the same group that hates guns thinks everything else in the world is a right. Its a right to drive on the road, its a right to education, a right to health care.

Why don't we work on preserving the rights we have before we go about slapping some new ones on the constitution.

What do you mean splitting hairs?[/quote]

nit-picking over details that don't really have an impact on the topic at hand. Like if I made off hand remarks about someones grammar when having a serious conversation. Its a minor detail, which I honestly can't believe we are discussing it.

Now, your just splitting hairs my friend.



I condense things down assuming people will just be able to connect the dots and get the general idea. Its a bad habit, I know. I should explain better but, then we would also get tl;dr like you and I usually get since we are the most long winded people here.

And don't forget having sex. Power Fapping! Power Fucking! The new extreme sports!

Damn right! I demand my jet packs and my flying car![size=8]and loli [/h]

You have a point (voting age should be higher)

Until you are into your twenties you don't know shit about shit and shouldn't be allowed to drink at all. The reason being is that while a few 18 year old kids may be responsible enough to do it. The vast majority are too stupid to do responsibly. A lot of adults get stupid when they are drunk so whats to prevent even dumber teens from doing it and causing even more trouble? Things such as drunken acts of violence (some drunks get emotional). Drunk driving (what will those darn kids do next). Here is a good one: Not knowing their limits and getting alcohol poisoning.

Scientifically it has already been proven that are brains keep developing until our twenties. Adding alcohol to that system is like hiring drunken construction workers. It just isn't going to be built correctly.

The only exemption to this rule is for military personnel. If you are man (or woman) enough to fight and die for your country then you are man (or woman) enough to have a drink. The military will give the people discipline to know when to stop drinking.

Though, lowering the drinking age will cause the stupid ones to die off. Either doing drunken acts of stupidity, alcohol poisoning, get heated then beating the shit out of one another.

Ah hell. I change my vote. Lower the drinking age to 15. Let the dumb underage fucks kill themselves off. Then the smart ones will survive and will drink when their brains are done developing. We need less stupid people in the world.

We have robotic suits. Now where the fuck are those "prolonged flight" jet packs they promised us back in the 60's?

Women can already do that. If I remember correctly two eggs can fertilize one another but, the end result will always be a girl. Don't quote me on that though.

As if MSNBC ever had in credit in my eyes. Whatever decimal amount of respect I had for them is now gone. My opinion of mass media has taken a hit too. First fox news and "anonymous", now MSNBC and "otaku". Whats next?!?

My personal view is we are the dominant species because we can adapt better than any animal. If we were to give a letter grade on different aspects of survival. We get a C in everything but, we get an A+ in adaptation. We inhabit every corner of the earth every hospitable and inhospitable environment. No other animal has been able to do that.



I agree with this. What is wrong with referring to the species that I belong to as "my species"? I refer to my family I live with as "my family" the same goes with everything else. So where is the problem?



Hey, thanks for repeating my high school biology teacher. Your assumption about my knowledge of ecosystems and food chains was wrong, I actually passed my biology and my ap bio classes with A's. Though I should have been a little more clear about what I was saying in relation to the food chain. I guess I meant "top" as in we are the dominant predator and no other animal actively hunts us.

Are you going to cause a major disaster? Plus, I wasn't saying all engineers are idiots. Its just that the engineers tend to be the ones that fuck things up. Scientists are just there to prove the theory works and to hammer out the details. Engineers put theory to practical use.

Plus making something idiot proof is the cycle of nature. Make something idiot proof then nature makes a better idiot. The cycle start anew!

It crosses the line (legally) when you record their face. When you are in public you have no privacy and should never expect any. There are cameras on you at all points in time. From when you are at the Bank ATM to your grocery store. To big brother government's "traffic cams". So there is no reason to be upset when a guy tries to look up a woman's skirt. You choose to wear it and you should have known that someone was going to take a peek.

Wait, lemme check....Yeah, its on. We're not dead. Sorry doomsday idiots, you were wrong AGAIN!

The only people who fear things like LHC are the people who fear scientific progress and change. Just get over it, we wouldn't do things like this is if the possibility of the world being destroyed was high. Since you know, we are all are pretty attached to living.

Plus, scientists don't fuck up on a huge scale. Its the engineers that have to maintain that technology after the scientists make it happen. Chernobyl? Yeah, engineers are to blame for that one. Scientists just proved that we can make nuclear energy. They didn't say the could idiot-proof the thing.

I haven't seen this happen or heard of it happening... If it did, I wish it was mine while I was still in high school... I don't really see this as happening since there are other menus in school without meat in it without the vegetarians complaining about it.[/quote]

It was mostly schools in major cites. There were a few cases here and there but, overall nothing significant ever happened as most people just don't give a fuck. You have to fight with the school system for years to get the change. Nine times out of ten the school system doesn't have the money to make the change because the slop they feed us back then was cheaper. Schools are broke and they honestly don't want to change the menu because that takes money. That, and fighting the school system uses up what little money it has so it just prolongs the change and makes taxes go up to pay for it. So only schools in major areas tend to change because the cities get enough revenue from businesses and taxes to have a little extra left over for the schools.

Most people would just say "If you don't like the food the school provides then bring it from home." Just a bloody hassle.

Huh. I wonder what its like to be compressed into a quantum singularity with all matter in the universe. Well, if the shit hits the proverbial fan when they switch it on, we'll all know very soon.

LHC is being switched on? Oh shi-

maybe..its the cost of having to change the school menus to accommodate vegetarians? That includes tax money but, other than that. Even I don't have a clue on how this.

Sorry, I was referring to you in your original gender. This sudden change to being a deep voiced woman has me getting used to the change. Eventually I'll get over it and call you by your proper title ma'am.



How am I stubborn as a mole? Moles are stubborn? When did that happen? (I know what you meant).

I agree with this statement



My argument was agreeing with this. That and the argument against meat: "You are hurting their feelings",etc are weak arguments.

She is an idiot. Weeaboo is a term that should offend anyone who watches anime. Then again weeaboo are idiots that don't realize how pathetic they look to the rest of the world (like furries).
