"Here Ted, you want some vegetablesOOOOOOOOHHHHH, too soon?"

And now that Heston's dead, does that mean we can take the gun out of his cold, dead hands now? On account of how he really shouldn't have had it in the first place.

okay that made me laugh

Hey Pot!
Yes, Kettle?

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE ANGST IS NOT FUNNY


unless it's coming from me

ADMIN'D!!!

I thought it was funny, too.

*NRA member*

*would ban all guns everywhere if he were president*

*doesn't vote for Pete*

I could live in ObamaLand.

I just want to stop hearing about Hillary determined to win despite the almost zero chances. Can't somebody official just step in and say "ALRIGHT, IT'S BASICALLY OVER ANYWAY, SO YOU GET THE NOMINATION BARACK." Or words to that effect.

Actually, it is really important that that NOT happen, because it would totally piss off her supporters. She needs to be allowed to continue her quixotic campaign (w00t I said "quixotic") until it's clear to everyone that it's over. Now she's saying that she's going to fight all the way to the convention. Nobody is going to let that happen, and it isn't going to happen, but she's posturing to make it look like she had a fair chance.

Of course, she did have a fair chance, but try telling her supporters that.

P.S. I would vote for Chelsea Clinton.

No, they can't. Because that's not the way it works. The system works the way it does for a reason. And in prior elections, too many voters' opinions were getting swayed by other results. If Obama's gonna win, then what is there to worry about? Just have some patience, wait, and let it happen. There's a reason why the nominee candidate needs the numbers stated.

And I'm VERY MUCH AGAINST any election process being determined by "well there's no other possible way". That's exactly the flaw I thought we were trying to move away from. Have every vote count, whoever it's for, and let the numbers decide in the end.

It's not that. I really have very little to say about Obama winning anything. I'm in the wrong country for that. I am, however, starting to take offense to it's continued and ongoing domination of the news hour.

HAWT '08

Heh. Well, that I can't help ye with. That's the fault of your news media (and ours too, really), not the fault of the candidates or the system. I think the real reason it's dragging on so much longer than before is because so many states thought they were being smart by moving up their primary dates so early leaving a huge gap now.

Can I vote for Sox Clinton?

"He's going to fight, with all his might." Hillary on Ted's illness. That is just a slap on the face. Hillary reminds me of Wreckgar.

CAT FETISH'D

um, no

I'd hit it if I was drunk.

Hilary on the other hand I'd hit with a shovel if I was drunk and she came onto me.

Or, really, was in the same room.

Or in the same building.

I like hitting people with shovels.

*not surprised*

I'd probably just be all "Hey, baby, wanna get back at your husband???"[/butthead]

As my hero, Billy Ed Hatfield likes to say, "Eager beats pretty every time."

*Would overthrow Pete with an armed revolution.*

We're heading further and further towards not having guns in Australia. I don't really have a problem with that.

hey, I didn't say I would ban tanks and bombs

Long as you let me have one, it's all good.

*fantasizes about driving an M1 Abrams to work*

"CUT ME OFF NOW, MUTHER@#CKERS!"

Hey, you'll still have spears and boomerangs.

Don't forget the kookaburras, either. I'm not quite clear on what exactly a kookaburra is, but it sounds vaguely violent so good on ya, mate.

In other words you'd pass a totally useless piece of legislation that few will follow, and in the end will wind up farging over people(Though not to a huge degree, mind you)?

I don't want to derail the thread or anything...

but guns are totally unnecessary IMO. I nearly got my face blown off when I was a kid b/c my friend wanted to show me his dad's .45 that he kept on top of the refrigerator. The second amendment needs to be amended IMO because it makes reference to a situation that no longer exists.

and I also don't like people being killed

what situation?

I don't have a problem with constitutional amendments, but the Bill of Rights should be untouchable, IMO.

"well-trained militia"

That's the justification for the second amendment.

We don't have such things anymore; we have the National Guard.

I always thought it was so the people of the country would have the means to revolt if the need ever should rise. (tyranny and all that)

Much in the way of prohibition and proposed abortion legislation, I'm not sure how banning guns would keep them out of many hands.

However you define "well-trained militia," it ain't happening today.

true but we need to have the ability to defend ourselves.

its not the law abiding gun toter that's the problem. the law abiding gun toter may be tour best friend if your in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Lord Cuban...you sure you're from Texas?

All it does is keep them out of the hands of responsible, law abiding people.

I don't like guns, and in a perfect world we wouldn't have to worry about them, but a ban is not the answer.

Austin, actually though I'm a transplant from the East Coast :hippie

It's my firm belief that the gun culture in the USA is one more piece of evidence that this nation is a lot less civilized than it likes to think it is. But I'm sure that many people in this country would revel in that fact. HOO-SANE'D

civilization is over rated. give me the smell of the woods in the morning and BAM fresh venison in the frying pan.




[GA boy]get a haircut, hippie[/GA boy]

I bet my hair's shorter than yours, actually

I always wondered why loving the outdoors was cool if you were an outdoorsman, but not if you were an environmentalist. You'd think that there would be more of a mutual understanding on that front. Maybe it's the shooting part.

I think the disconnect lies in the extreme environmentalist's tendency to attack people.

I have no problem with somebody going hunting with a rifle fwiw...

... but you don't need to go hunting with a semi-automatic handgun or an M16.




And, because I only realised this just now, I don't think I've ever even seen a gun shop in Japan.

Oh right, I forget that we define groups based on their fringe elements.

*blows up abortion clinic*


Japan is one of the top five safest nations in the world

the US is not

Oh, I'm just being sarcastic.

















Mostly - it's easy to find a Christian who condemns someone like Fred Phelps. It's harder to find an environmentalist who condemns someone like Paul Watson...[/off-topic]

How hard have you looked?

[Heston]Well, but you know, we've got all these minorities and stuff...[/Heston]

and there's a lot of conflict there.......

*shaves head daily*

its all the other things they disagree on that cause the problems.

you've got 1/4 inch on me then

lotta people tell me that
