I've read the whole series and I do believe that HM is correct, the saying appeared on a sign in Mayor Hardin's office.

Really? Please enlighten me as to what it accomplishes?

Why, the demolition, perhaps even the permanent annihilation, of an invalid, unsupported viewpoint, of course. Can't come to a correct decision without facts, can we? Rather often, tw will try to steer people wrong. I, for one, resent that. I think anyone would.

And I didn't stop there: I've told tw exactly what he should do to both rehabilitate himself and simultaneously to grow in wisdom, for I believe in constructive criticism and make a point of always at least implying where salvation may lie. I admit to grave doubts that he'll take the advice, because it's me telling him, and his warped ego will shriek at him that it is more important to ignore Urb and remain wrong, than ever to try and find his way to being right. But theoretically, I should never stop offering the good stuff.

Now, Rkzen, why would you not understand one absurdly simple thing? The murderous point of view is not the point of view to be tolerated. Ever. As you can see, my view is that it is right to resist being murdered, whereas his is the complete opposite. Loathesome! Immoral! Repellent! Let him suffer revulsion for all that! Does he deserve any other?

My draw with a peacemaker is very fast, but not that fast. Of course I never had the benefit of having my film sped-up.

Hey, I could do that....I'm good at being slapped.

I'd be one of the dudes saying "did you see that shit?" to one another...

You have obviously never been shot at.

Ok, not utter. If there were no gun at all, there would absolutely be no shooting.

If there was one gun, and you had it, then I would surrend, lay face down on the floor, do whatever you told me to do, and you would only shoot me if you were a nasty, heartless, sadistic bitch. So that's one shot, probably. If I got had the gun, I would only shoot if you didn't surrender, after trying less lethal solutions.

If there were two guns, I would shoot you right away, so that you couldn't shoot me, knowing that you would do the same. If I didn't kill you, or you got a shot off at the same time I shot, you would still get a shot off. That's two virtually guaranteed shots.

Ha!

I have faced the prospect of having to maybe shoot somebody. In my own bedroom. Didn't like the idea one little bit. I think that will do.

Nah; he was going quietly insane, and not too long after that was prevailed upon by his relatives to voluntarily enter St. Elizabeth's, the DC area public mental hospital. Seems even after kicking cocaine and alcohol you can stay really fried.

How 'bout cutting the nonsense, Bruce? We're on the same side here. Let's behave that way.

God, that was a great call-out post. The quotes, the smilie, the attached image, the Bush reference...

We'll put you down for "easily impressed by drivel you agree with".

The scenario is called "mutually assured destruction". We've seen it once in history. Guess what the outcome was? Hint: It wasn't Spexxy's preemptive strike.

Urbane Guerrilla · 10-31-2006, 10:05 PM

You are on my side here, and there is nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong with that. You are at liberty to dislike me, for I am what I am and don't mind telling you so. I suggest you quitcherbitchin'.

Funny; I think the picture has been reversed. In all but some very special 1911 pistols, the safety is on the left side. I don't think that's a Swenson ambidextrous safety, either. I'd be looking for an unobtrusive cutaway in the edge of the grip panel right near the safety lever were that so.
