  1. Way to miss the humor. Um no, they'd just get illegal guns, like they do now. Nothing will stop the violence from gangs except disrupting the gangs. - Dan G
  2. Drive-by decapitation? That would be awesome. - Dan G
  3. That would be true if people acted rationally. Unfortunately, they don't. If what you posted were true, there would be no gang shootouts, or shootouts with the police. For that matter, there wouldn't be wars either. Weapons are tools. They can be tools for defense, but they can also be tools for offense. I'm not saying that guns should be banned, for from it. I am saying that the old saying about an armed society being a polite society is demonstrably false. - Dan G

    Billy, do ya like movies about gladiators? - Dan G
  5. Which primaries? The 2016 election ones? The ones that won't start for another 2+ years? What about the 2020 primaries? - Dan G
  6. I don't hunt, but I know people who do. I believe there is a shotgun season that is longer than the rifle season, or something like that. Pretty sure rifles are still allowed. - Dan G
  7. Art is, by its nature, subjective. Do you really think it's not a sad story that some kid died for no good reason? The facts of this case may exonerate the cops, but I personally think the cops go to the taser way more often than they should. - Dan G
  8. What are you going on about now? Can you provide some context? Not everyone is tuned into the right wing talk radio issue of the day. - Dan G
  9. Which election? The one in which there are no declared candidates? That would include 2014 midterms, 2016, 2018 midterms, etc. Maybe all biographies should be suspended because you never know when someone might decide to run for office. - Dan G
  10. I'm sure you meant blasters. Let's not mix canons here. - Dan G
  11. That makes no sense. Getting paid is not material. Why did he feel the need to release information that had nothing to do with these supposed murders, rape, etc. that you seem to know so much about? And what rape are you talking about? Or did you just throw that in because it sounds really bad? Great. There are a lot of better ways to do that than what Manning did. - Dan G
  12. Those, and many, many others. Are you saying that because some of the information he released made the US look bad, then it's all okay? I'd have more respect if he released only the bad stuff. The fact is, he just did a data dump without any regard to the damage it may have done. Not hero material in my book. - Dan G
  13. What about the hundreds of thousands of other pieces of classified information that had nothing to do with that one video? - Dan G
  14. The only thing I covet about Weiner is his awesome screen name. No one gives anything he says any credibility at this point. - Dan G
  15. You can have my light saber when you pry it from my cold, metallic, artificial hand that I got because my Dad's a dick. - Dan G
  16. Okay, so all you object to is your unfounded belief contrary to everything that has been reported. I now understand where you are coming from. - Dan G
  17. I think the only pertinent question is, "Are there light sabers in this world?" - Dan G
  18. Now? I've never said anything different. I'm not Stumpy. - Dan G
  19. Read lawrocket's post above for a concise summary. The court did, unequivocally, say that there were systematic civil right violations. - Dan G
  20. I would amend Stumpy's statement to say, "If you think carrying alone will keep you safe, you're kidding yourself." Carrying can be part of a strategy to remain safe. It shouldn't be the only part. In other words, just because you are carrying, don't think that other choices (like where and when you travel, how you act, your awareness level, etc.) are not also important. - Dan G
  21. I wasn't under the impression that she was involved. - Dan G
  22. Well, they need, "a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime and has a reasonable belief that the person 'may be armed and presently dangerous.'" Many people disagree. - Dan G
  23. So it has nothing to do with who is doing the movie, as you said in your previous post? I don't understand your position. - Dan G
  24. Would you be upset if Fox were doing the movie? - Dan G
  25. I'm definitely a civil libertarian. I wish the Libertarian Party could get its act together. I haven't been able to support any of their candidates yet, but I'm hoping they form a viable alternative some day. There's an excellent article in the New Yorker this week about civil forfeiture. It is apalling. Due process thrown right out the window, with a police profit motive to boot. - Dan G
