kelpdiver 2 #51 July 30, 2012 QuoteQuoteIt's much easier to defend than to attack. The defender has no choice, but the attacker has to put his neck on the line. The advantage goes to the attacker. He decides the time, place, method, everything. He also has the ability to delay his attack if things look like they won't go in his favor. he still has to choose to gamble. The defender does not. You're presuming that he always will attack, which is only true if he expect success at an extremely high probability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're presuming that he always will attack, which is only true if he expect success at an extremely high probability. The defender is still gambling; he just has no choice in the matter. The attacker has a choice, and can choose to attack only when the odds are heavily in his favor. If he's smart and patient, such an opportunity is nearly inevitable.Math tutoring available.

DaVinci 0 #53 August 2, 2012 QuoteYou don't see the difference in someone choosing not to carry a gun and someone being legally prohibited from carrying a gun? On that there is a difference; You however have stated that certain types of arms should not be allowed and that people should not be allowed to carry. QuoteAre you suggesting that guns have no limitations? Guns have limitations... In range, accuracy, rate of fire, etc. That is a physical fact. But guns have no emotions or ability to act and do not need limits like magazine bans. What you want is limits in gun RIGHTS for PEOPLE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I challenge you to find a recent post in which I "have stated that certain types of arms should not be allowed and that people should not be allowed to carry."

DaVinci 0 #60 August 6, 2012 QuoteSorry to hear we've distracted you from curing cancer Trying to have a discussion with someone who is not honest is a waste of time. He is not being honest, so it is a waste of my time. I do not have all day to spend on here and I have plenty of other activities in my life that are more enjoyable and more productive than trying to discuss a topic with a person like this.

davjohns 1 #62 August 6, 2012 Ah, yes. More sexual tension between two of our forumites. The air is rife with it.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My challenge to you remains unmet. You can't find a single recent comment posted by me in which I "stated that certain types of arms should not be allowed and that people should not be allowed to carry." Since you are unable do that, it's clear which one of us is being dishonest. (I'll give you a hint: it isn't me.)Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
