Amazing what a simple question can bring about.
It's all your fault. I bet you killed Kenny, too, you bastard!:p

But alas, you keep ordering fudge ripple, silly.
All you've done is express your concept of reality. There's no proof.

If your mind is closed in this matter, there's no need to continue the debate

I don't "believe that there are situations where it is not utterly wrong to slaughter innocent children for the purposes of tradition or societal convention", but I reserve the right to change my mind.

Wrong. They may violate what you perceive as rights, but your perception doesn't make it so.

Wrong. My rights aren't a perception, a "concept", or a social agreement. My rights are a tangible reality whether or not you choose to ignore them. If you doubt my rights are a reality, try to violate them and you will find very real bullets in your ass.

Yeah. four times. Now I'm back where I started, just twice as certain.

But the way, which issue are you talking about? Guns? Rights? Ridiculing posts? Radar's assholicity? Not that it really matters...

Why? It will just continue on here and if that thread gets shut down as well, the grudge will appear in a new one. The gun debate has been here before and it will come again in a cycle as sure as the seasons.

The only difference this time around is a handful of hard-headed posters that are more dead set than usual. Let 'em go, ignore the thread, and move on to other things. Why be tied up in this debate? There are better topics of interest, here. I'm not sure why so many people are still clinging to the gun discussion so many days after it was kicked off.

Beer. Beer and posting. Relax. It's good for you, good for everyone despite not all having come to that realization, yet. This isn't that serious of a place. ...is it?



Besides, if UT shuts this down, I'll be one of the few (the first?) to be honored by starting a thread that gets locked. While I'd love to have my name on the wall for that, I don't want it to be over a fucking yes/no poll question!
