  1. I didn't say he was wrong, did I? I just don't care. It's a boring topic, that's been beat to death by a million authors. j_b goes after it like he's the first to discover this shit or something.

  3. all or nothing? Whatchu talkin' bout, willis? I think you'e jumped into this conversation at the end, you clearly don't know my position on this issue. I've never said guns should be illegal. Well, not ALL guns. Some should be, probably. Or hard to get. I'm pretty happy with the system we have right now, actually, if only there were better checks in place to prevent the mentally ill from buying them so easily. My comments re: cars killing people were meant to illustrate that, in fact, it DOES make sense to outlaw some things that are just plain TOO DANGEROUS -- like side-spikes on my Subaru. So, i'm not sure why you're trying to argue with me, it sounds like we agree. For the record, I absolutely DO think that we should legalize ALL drugs. That's not the same as deregulating, though.
  4. I'm not forgetting that. My point was it the U.S. didn't just "come up" with the idea of "relocating jews to Palestine," as the OP suggests.
  5. Palestine was originally under British mandate. The British gave it up shortly after World War II, and asked the U.N. for assistance in handing the country over to the people. Jews and Arabs had been living there for some time (the Jews, technically, even longer than the Muslims), and the British couldn't get them to agree on a plan to turn over the country, and basically said "here, you handle it." The U.N. originally planned on splitting up Israel into a Jewish and Arab state, with the Jerusalem area under international control. THe Zionists agreed to this plan, but the Arabs refused, starting months of fighting. The Jewish forces prevailed, and gave the arabs the finger and declared a fully Jewish state. Neighboring Arab countries tried, unsuccessfully, to reclaim the area -- but failed. And here we are. So, Larry, it's a bit more complicated than the United States just "relocating Jews to Israel."

    You respect ALL life? Why is it ok to kill vegetables? Is that not Life? I totally understand that you don't want to kill animals because they're sentient or whatever -- I used to be like that. I slaughtered a rooster once and I was a vegetarian for almost a decade after that. Messed with my head. But don't give me that bullshit "I respect ALL life" -- it's fucking trash. No you don't. You only respect certain life that you think it "better" or "more important." You kill things to eat. Bottom line. Life must end so that yours can continue. If you keep on with that whole, "I respect life, that's why I don't kill animals" bullshit, you just sound like a retard. Animals are not the only life out there. Life of any kind is special, and you can't avoid killing life to live. Stop acting like you're so much more spiritual than everyone else, because you "Respect life" and I guess the rest of us don't? You need to come to terms with thae fact that you are a killer. Deal with that, and stop hiding from that fact by accusing OTHER peopel of not "Respecting life." Come to terms with that, and I'll respect your choice to not eat creatures with brains. Killer. You're on a slipperly slope to Jainism. Meat is murder? So is picking carrots. Deal with it. HEverything kills something to live. You haven't avoided that. "Oooh, I respect life, and you don't. You eat meat cause it makes you feel like a man. Do you like to kill? Do you like to blow stuff away?..." -- so self-righteous. Sorry dude, but you're not better than other people because you've convinced yourself that you "respect life" and that other people don't. You're fooling yourself. DOesn't work on me, though. BTW u walked into my trap PERFECTLY
  9. "defense against tyranny" is a funny argument. If that's what you believe, and what our founding fathers intended, then why not allow the sale of artillery and tanks, bombs and fighter jets, as well? Inconsistent. Everybody agrees that SOME arms should be banned. RIght? I shouldn't be able to buy a nuclear weapon, should I? So, if we're all in agreement on that, then we all support gun control (of some form.) The question is, where do we draw the line? I imagine we all believe that there IS a line. And how do you define "The line?" Artillery? "Assualt" rifles? I'm interested to know how the NRA suggests drawing this line. It's not such an easy, simple thing, is it? The second ammendment doesn't say "guns," it says "arms." So, why is it OK to ban *some* arms and not others? There is nothing worse than someone with an inconsistent argument who also has a self-righteous attitude that he's somehow protecting the right to "bear arms." No you're not. You support gun-control. You just draw a different line than the "liberals" do, or whatever. Don't pretend you're better than them. But you both have a line. Fucking tempest in a teapot. You've already lost your "Arms" -- now you're all arguing about fucking pea-shooters. You think the military is concerned about the 10mm pistol I keep under my mattress? They've already removed the arms that would offer them a sincere threat. Imagine if George Washington didn't have any cannon. Or the French Navy in his back pocket. Laughable.

    I'm OK with vegans, I'm just playing around. However, there are two types of vegans: 1) Meat isn't good for you, I"m a vegan for health. 2) "I don't eat animals because I RESPECT ALL LIFE." The second type is mentally incompetent.
  11. the republicans always get so proud about cutting spending for some tiny little slice of the federal pie. What oes this funding represent? .0001% of the deficit? Wake me up when they start making REAL cuts. Unfortunatley this will never happen because the biggest, gaping bleeding wound is the military spending budget, and that's the republican's sacred cow. I am totally fine with the right-wingers here disliking the democrats, but I can't for the live of me figure out how any relatively competent person could think the republicans are doing anything worthwile. "OH YAY THEY'RE CUTTING NPR FUNDING NOW OUR SPENDING PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED!!!!" fucking retards

    Climbing resume

    THere's the great climb called AK-47, you should try it.
  14. What about driving a car that was designed specifically for runnign people down, with a cow-catcher on the front and side spikes? Should that be allowed?
  15. What kind of guns are acceptable tools? Are nuclear weapons acceptable tools? Tanks and heavy machine guns? "Assault rifles?" High-capacity magazines? What is acceptable for personal defense, and what should be prohibited to protect the masses? Where do YOU draw the line?

    6', 165. My ex-wife was is a raw-food psycho. Looks like we actually have something in common after all. Let's hope not. It didn't end well for me.

    +1. The economy turning around while a democrat holds the presidency would be the worst possible thing politically for the republicans. The dems aren't any better, though, when a republishit is in office.
  19. The second ammendment gives us all the right to own 18th century flintlock muskets. OK????? Fucking fascist.

    6', 165. I was a vegan for 5 years, and a vegetarian for another 3 on top of that. My ex-wife was a raw-food psycho. And I think it's all bullshit.
  21. If you own a car, you're statistically more likely to get in a car crash. Unless you keep it in your garage and don't use it.
