Do you own a gun?

[GepperRankins]

no, I live outside of Orlando, where it seems people prefer Carjacking compared to just stealing a car out of a lot, and Home invasion ( armed occupied ) compared to going into an empty house. what difference does it make anyway? I know what happens in my area just as well as you know what happens in yours.

you know the solution. have a car sticker saying this car doesn't have a an imobiliser


and no i reckon theres something unsexy about a girl with a gun.

And they shoot the occupant, rather than just stealing the car or the property from the house. That, mon amigo means that the violence is in addition to the property crime, not a possibility in it's commission. It means that they want to hurt and kill, as well as steal.

Which only serves to illustrate that your culture is getting ever more violent.

You really, really have to do something about those guns. Any muppet can get one and then can pretty much do whatever they want.

Look at it as simple maths. If there are 810 "bad" guns, then you can negate them by allowing 10 "good" guns. Or by taking away the 10. The former leaves you with 20 guns, the latter no guns. I prefer the latter.

I would however suggest the the gun manufacturers and retailers prefer the sales 20 to the 0. It's feck all to do with anything but economics.

As an aside, do the thiefs regularly steal the owner's guns as well. Which I a certain the owner will replace in jig time. Possibly buy more, just to be on the safe side.

Okay.

The new wave of certified professional burglar (that is to say, one who holds a PhD in the field from a reputable institution) has supplanted the old, run-of-the-mill, non-chess-playing sort of house-breaking thief, and we must respect his investment of time and effort by cowering in a corner while he helps himself to the fruits of our labor.

Sounds about right-you've convinced me.

You seem rather uneasy in this thread.


The point is that a burglar doesn't need to be more intelligent than you to shoot you, he just has to point and fire.

I guess you can see that but choose to skirt around it. Not the posting style I expect from you but a theme you've continually displayed in this thread.

Btw, wtf is this thread doing in the off-topic poll section. Sure there is a bit of spam but it gets that way in the Drawing Room too sometimes.


Also, what is an off-topic poll in the off-topic section. It seems to me that off-topic on a file sharing board is something not to do with filesharing therefore an off-topic poll in the off-topic section should have to be about filesharing else it has no place here

Ouch, you done hurt my thinking muscle.

J2: I'd reply, but it appears that manker already did it for me.

[GepperRankins]

stupid people use guns to defend themselves, clever ones use ironing boards

[GepperRankins]

I have evinced a fitting and proper cynicism for the circumstances which require such a choice.

so you don't want to defend your "realm" with a gun but you need to?

[Snee]

Keep your talk of skirts to yourself, girly-man.

I don't know where you get your idea.

If I choose to defend my "realm" with deadly force, I am, by law, allowed.

That I opt to do so obviously bothers you, at least to the extent you cannot manage your urge to berate and belittle my choice.

I have not at any time in this thread rejoiced that I am constitutionally enabled to defend myself with a gun; rather, I have evinced a fitting and proper cynicism for the circumstances which require such a choice.

I have not recommended this strategy for anyone else.

I find your expressions of moral relativism and claims of enlightenment intolerant and oppressive.

You accord the burglar more credit and freedom, indeed, legitimacy-than me.

Well done.

The bulk of his post was about the burglar's intelligence, or lack thereof, though

And the fact that you haven't really answered as to why that would make a difference.
