RevWhiteWolf: Hon, yes, he can be annoying but he can also be a fount of information too. While I understand where you are coming from, multiple posts are going to wear on people's nerves and make them upset with you and then words and insults get hurled. I'd hate for you to be hurt with words and hope that with some different wording your message can be put forth.
I admire your courage, this place can be a tough crowd.:thumbup:
I thank you for the warning....and another said this too..but I find it interesting..that in view of the fact that I dont go to them...looking for a fight...they come to me..and call me names...and insult me...perhaps..some here should talk to them about that...
I only bite people who have bitten me first...If you let a bully bully you..then they will always bully you...
If Im wrong..I will admit it...when Im right..I will stand up for my position.
Its all good.....I will debate these people...using facts..figures...etc...but when the sandbox antics come..I have little patience for that..After all...I have encountered trolls before..and if one acts like a troll..then the get a trolls treatment..
Fair isnt it? If they keep it civil...so shall I...
so then..when are you people going to rein in the trolls..I find it very odd..that I am 'chewed out' when I didnt even start anything..and yet...the trolls..keep on a trolling...
What ever....no offense White Wolf.....but its weird..

I know hon and I've noticed several folks have commented on the same thing. Mods here are very fickle and will ban if they catch someone starting a ruckus or being involved in a ruckus. Beyond that, I wish I had an answer for you. I believe in civil discourse that can lead to understanding. It's when others try to dictate how to live your life, or what to do, when it seems like so many can't seem to to do the same thing in their own lives that it gets tiresome indeed. Perhaps attending to their own pumpkin patches before they start digging in others' gardens would be a start in the right direction.
jbibiza: Sorry Adam...gotta disagree with your friends argument...just look at the time when America was being settled, the times of the Ca gold rush...everyone was armed...there were still bank robbers and train and stagecoach...just a lot more people would wind up dead

In response to: The more recent anti-gun book by Michael Bellesiles of Emory University has been lavishly praised in such organs of the left intelligentsia as The New York Times and The New York Review of Books, and was awarded a prestigious prize for historians.
Then other scholars began checking out his "evidence."
The net result is that Professor Bellesiles has now resigned from Emory University after an investigation into his research led to a report that raised questions about his "scholarly integrity." But that is unlikely to stop his study from continuing to be cited by advocates of gun control.
Facts are not the real issue to gun control zealots, who typically share the left's general vision of the world, in which their own superior wisdom and virtue need to be imposed on others, whether on guns, the environment, or other things.
When John Lott asked the gun control crusader to look at the facts he had amassed, he may have thought that the issue was simply whether one policy was better than another. But what was really at stake was a whole vision of society and the crusader's own sense of self. No wonder she could not risk looking at the facts.
Oh yes, when I go to my local Canadian shop on the corner there is always an Asian gang member blocking the entrance. If I want in I have to pay in Asian money. You know...peso...heh, heh... I pay my money and back into the shop (don't want to get shot in the back)(with a big black shiny pistol). The shop keeper a Asian...says...Well, my little Lassie..what would you like today...brown rice or white rice?...Oh decisions, decisions. I opt for the white rice, I am white after all. I make my purchase in Canadian horse puckies. You know..Loonies and TwoOonies. As I leave the shop...the Great Asian master has assembled his gang..they are having tea with crumpets...and a rabbit runs by exclaiming "I'm late, I'm late...off with their heads". Going to the store in Canada is always an adventure.....
