Is that an answer or have you lost the ability to read? Can you not follow your own line of questioning??

galrads: Sounds like the "Dirty Dozen"


Well, I dont watch tele and films.. never have.. so dont be assuming that everyone knows what you know...

in any case... what is wrong with my asking for a solution ?? instead of disagreeing..

I said... lets agree to disagree and put up some suggestions.. ??

Glatlol: So you pray to your god that harm comes to people who dont agree with you? Lovely. Enough is enough, I have posted and read on the threads about guns and ownership, and rights, and children being killed because if these rights and not once wished the people who disagreed with me harm, you are an ignorant idiotic moron and the words you call others are more suited to yourself than them. How dare you, you may live in a world that is full of horrors and feel its ok to kill other people but I dont and while I have lowered myself to your standard by responding to your outrageous post I will never lower myself to think so little of human life.

So... good that's sorted... now what do you suggest?? as a long time alternative... because this has to end.. but it all takes a while...

what suggestion do you have that would actually help people think twice about committing an offence that scares the good people who are innocent of anything but going about their daily lives..??

and just assume... jails dont cut it anymore... ?????

After reading the story it makes me wonder what would've happened if the lady in the story hadn't shot the bad guy.

I also take into consideration the response time of the police officer(s) would've been.

Like the Sheriff said that they would've found 3 dead bodies.

Bluefish22: Then perhaps it shouldn't be posted in the International Forum.

I don't particularly like American Military bases stationing themselves in my country, but golly, I don't seem to have a choice in that matter. So if y'all don't like other nationals commenting on 'your' issues, perhaps you'd like to take your issues and keep them on your own soil, instead of contaminating the whole planet with it.
Sir.


I'd be quite happy to. I've advocated all along for a strictly US forum on CS. As for US bases in your country, I'm a Libertarian and I don't particularly like our country playing policeman to the rest of the world, or "contaminating" other countries.

I'm all for an isolationist US. Trouble is, my country has politicians. And you know how that goes.

Whatever. I'm out of this useless debate between people who like to argue for no apparent reason other than there's nothing good on the telly and housework doesn't appeal. Time for me to do something more important. Like dishes. Or...I know....Laundry...yeah. Definitely more important than this debating in a vacuum.

I don't live my life in fear of the bad guy. rolling on the floor laughing I live it joy and harmony and thankfulness that I live in such a beautiful world!

I feel sorry for you people that you have created such a society that you don't feel safe in your own home without a firearm. Its certainly a different world to mine alright.

Would you really allow something bad happen to you in a life and death situation? Or would you just roll over and let harm come to you and say, WOW, that was great, can I have another since I would rather have the criminal live and I hope that he doesn't kill me?!
BTW, I don't like harm to other EXCEPT TO THE CRIMINAL!

montemonte: ...the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the 1990s which found that people who have guns in their homes are nearly three times more likely to be a victim of homicide and nearly five times more likely to commit suicide.


Perhaps, but correlation doesn't necessarily mean cause and effect. And even when it does, it has to be determined which is cause and which is effect.

Is that that having a gun increases the likelihood of homicide, or is it that that people who live in high crime areas tend to buy more guns?

As for suicide, Japan has a very high rate of suicide and yet the people there don't have guns. They use poison or other means. Someone who is intent on suicide will find a way. Worldwide, suicide correlates more to financial or social stress than it does to gun ownership.
