Sooooo, you assume that every household that doesn't own a weapon and doesn't teach their children about firearms, those kids NEVER encounter a firearm? There would be a lot less articles in news papers if that was the point. Well, gee, this thread started due to this very instance didn't it? Dave, easy, I didn't ASSume anything. And no, that's not how this incident started, it started with parents letting their kids play with a gun. I'm saying, if you'd please read each word, that a good and vigilant parent shouldn't have to teach their child how to shoot a gun if there aren't guns around. A good and vigilant parent will teach their child how to be safe, how to use their brains, and never to point a projectile at another or someone could get hurt. If guns are a fact and a way of life in your household, or your friends', neighbors', uncle's, brother's lifestyles, then yes, teach them all about it, please. I'm saying that kids aren't always the stupid ones. They can learn not to mess with or shoot a gun without ever having touched one. But they need to be taught. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

What if guns aren't a part of your household or activities or friends' activities? Do you feel it's necessary to introduce kids to guns when they would otherwise have no exposure to them? (Assuming you know where and with whom your child spends time - meaning you have control over whether or not they come into contact with guns) I think in that case, broader teaching about safety, including safety about guns but not including actual ownership and handling of them, ought to be enough. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

"Yeah, I was in a knife fight, but I know Kung Fu, so you shoulda seen the other guy..." (Nothing wrong with a little levity since he's going to be fine!) you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

A "trained" 10yr old...ok, how do you think that 10yr old gets trained? For me it was the parents, but then again, my parents cared about my up bringing and didn't depend on the government, the schools, TV or anything else to teach me what I needed. We're discussing from the same side here, Dave. A parent who raises his child with guns - training, practice, cleaning and care, resposible ownership - can reasonably expect that child to know better than to shoot his friend in the chest. A parent who doesn't even care to know a BB gun's potential before letting a little kid play GI Joe with it is an idiot. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Methinks he protests too much! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

No, but extremism due to cultural upbringing does recognize political boundaries. Its that simple. I wouldn't call an anti-gun/non-gun culture extremist, but I see your point. I think we can all agree though, that giving a pellet gun to a trained 10-year old who respects the gun's potential for danger is much different than handing a random catoon-trained kid a gun and telling him to go have fun. In one case, it's reasonable to think no one will get hurt; in the other, someone's gonna get hurt before long. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

If it is, then shouldn't it also say half-man, half-dawg? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Ugh! That one kills me!! "My interest was peeked when I overheard her say she visited Pike's Pique, so I had to take a peak around the corner" you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Once again, can we please leave nationality out of this? Stupid doesn't recognize political boundaries. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

I thought it was a good joke! And repeated experiments have shown that SC can't take a joke.... True dat! And it is funny! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

See! Now there you go, that's a noble calling. Bring up a subject, then sit back and enjoy the spirited and funny dialogue you spurred. I bet it works in real life too. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Well thanks!

Oh yes he did. And he smelled like rot and garbage. That right there's a deal breaker. Not to mention the psychosis, the jaundice, the trollish figure, the grudge-bearing and that soft, soft skull... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Well, if I were single maybe... but not if that's the only thing he's got going for him! It's got to be a package deal, and ear-breathing and money are not at the top of the list! Like Karen said, I can take of those things myself thankyouverymuch! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Absolutely!! Have you seen their pictures? Those are NOT fake camera smiles. Sigh. They're quite a lucky couple. And Karen, ditto to you honey! If it was about wallet and the O, I'd be dating a millionaire who could breathe out of his ears. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Wallet schmallet, I make my OWN money. As for the rest... well... that's nice too! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Would you and DM like to invite Christel to a US vs. Germany cage-match in another thread? Jeez, I thought we were discussing guns. Let's keep it on track! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Darling, I never get spinach in my teeth or stick asparagus up my nose... You ARE on the right track with the whole "embarrasing behaviour" thing, though... Even if it is typically not until the next day... Well, those were just examples... The day-after effect is something I am well acquainted with... thank God it's been a long while since I've heard "So, do you remember what YOU did last night? " you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Seal is actually hot. His smile! And his lyrics! And that voice... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Oh. Like streaking a party, but then getting embarassed by the spinach in your teeth? Or like entertaining a crowd with asparagus up your nose, but stammering when She says hi? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
