GWAR is fun! Sure, their music sucks. But I went to "The Bitch Is Back" tour and had a ball. you saw the zombie show when the big bottom go go dancers were in cages on the either side of the stage, yah? FUn.

Woot!

And she's hott

I think anyone who is a violent nut should be locked away too. Adding the word "gun" to the front of that is simply inflamatory.

I agree with many of the current limitations on gun ownership (obviously--otherwise I wouldn't agree with background checks at all). But I see that you get the gist of my argument--which was not very articulate--that the inconsistancy is a bit vexing. I don't think that everything has to be consistant, but the logic behind it should make sense. And I suppose I just don't fully understand the logic behind not being allowed to know the public records of an accused person but being allowed to know the public records of a gun buyer when making a decision that will impact that person. Thanks for your posts though, I appreciate how you put things and provoke thoughts and discussion!!!

I talking about the old days--the Black Sunshine days. I agree he went too electro after Hellbilly Deluxe. I love GWAR. Pantara was such good music, but Phil is fucking irritating in concert. That guy talks so much you'd want to throw a damn chair at him to shut him up.

I could be convinced to agree with that. So then, taking that a bit further, let's say someone went through a rough patch in their life. Later, they got their shit together and wanted to take up target shooting. According to your sense of justice (which is totally reasonable), this person should be allowed to buy a gun, even though they have had a past of "mental defectiveness"

Can we bring beer?

We are not animals. One of the things that seperates us from animals is our ability to reflect upon ourselves and our actions. It doesn't make anything easier to understand, but then, I don't think simplifying people and their motives is productive.

Thank you for the deep insight and for avoiding simplified characterization.

Yes, I understand that. My question is "Do we really think that is fair to the people who have to make the decision on whether the person is guilty or not". Why would a person's past be considered relevant when buying a gun, but not when deciding whether they are guilty of criminal behavior (especially when that behavior fits the same pattern as previous guilty behavior). Am I the only one who thinks that is a little strange?

I love Zombie!!! And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the fucker makes two movies that can be watched over and over again without losing anything. The pleasure you feel seeing them the first time and be experienced over and over again. Plus, he's great in concert. And that beard. Love it.

Only b/c his wife took them off the mantle and gave them to him for show and tell at school

You must have arm envy, that's why you posted a pic of a beloved baldwin without an arm.

Look at the rating--they never give ratings this high! You know its going to be good. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/showreview.aspx?reviewID=1102

That's a good point. I guess those records become public after the trial though, right? It would be interesting to find that out. I can't imagine how horrible it would feel to be on that jury, not know about the previous conviction, let the guy go, then find out what everyone else already knew--that he has a history of this. It is kind of strange that the mental history of a guy who wants to buy a gun is considered fair game for all to know; but previous convictions (which are public record--just like the mental health thing) are mum. I understand the theory behind it--giving the accused a "fair" chance. But if one guy has to live with the consequences of past behavior, shouldn't another guy also have to live with those consequences? It seems a little confusing to me.

nothing wrong with that.

Like elbows?

thanks for playing.

I got it! It was the Rooster!!!!!

no, wait. it was the chicken

it was most certainly the egg.

is that a trick question? You can't rock climb in a gym, can you? But those plastic pullers look like they know what they are doing. Good for you going for the lesson

Don't let me stop you.
