Creepy Condescending Wonka

i blame spoons for making rosie odonell fat

Hahaha. You make me laugh.

they don't even teach handwriting (cursive)

No, that's not what I said at all.

But in a sense, you did.

No, in no sense did I. I spoke of pencils and the teaching of cursive in the public schools. There was no metaphor, stated or implied. It was a completely off topic comment.

Follow the line of logic you set by your statement:

No pencils = no pencil writing
>
No guns = no guns firing

No metaphor required. Your line of reasoning stands as is.

That is what you say. I did not say that. And there is no line of reasoning. I was complaining about the state of schools. As I said before and please do me the courtesy of actually reading it, it was an off topic comment. Anything else ascribed to it is your comment and your comment alone.

That is what I say? So that explains why I said it then, eh?
Neverteless, the logic is sound.

If we ban pencils, it would take a VERY long time to get them all out of circulation. If we ban guns, it would take a VERY long time to get them out of circulation. Why? What happened when we banned weed, heroine, ect?

No, it wouldn't. It would take weeks at most.

What happened when we banned Cuban cigars?
Heroine is the biggest crop grown in Afganistan, and despite a decade and a half there, our military has looked the other way, ever wonder why?

Pizza's here. have a good night

That is excellent. You made it or found it?

Thanks...I made it...here's the template if you want it

Aww, thanks, I appreciate it. It's a good one.

Do you know the difference between kill and murder?

My friend, you are very wrong.

If you spent money on a gun that ain't, you should get a refund, 'cause someone ripped you off.

A knife is designed to kill. Now one is trying to ban them.

depends on the knife doesn't it? Where I live (France) you are not allowed to carry a military grade knife on the street just like a gun...

“Military grade” is BS. Anything could be construed as being “Military grade”, depending on whether or not someone benefits from so doing.

Just like “surgical steel” is actually crap recycled soft stainless steel.

Are you denying the guy's point that people, not guns, kill people?

It's incomplete isn't it? Of course people kill people, but its so much easier with a weapon. So why allow killing weapons available, and why allow people to carry them?

People shouldn't be allowed to own knives, or axes, or hammers, or chainsaws, or vehicles, or other things that can be used to kill people?

OK anything can be used to hurt or kill people including my hands and no I'm not suggesting to ban hands... If you're looking for a simple rule which will eradicate crime, it doesn't exist. Yet saying that the rule is imperfect doesn't mean you shoudn't rule. Otherwise, the fact that crime exist would mean that laws are useless...
So you have to look for imperfect categories in order to be able to reduce crime as much as you can... I haven't seen any mass killing with chainsaws lately... It's just so easy to kill someone with a gun (yeah it's their main purpose!)...and it's so easy to buy a gun in the US...
I really have trouble understanding what there is to defend apart from the profit of gun corporations who want you to buy guns...

It's also more difficult for a person to kill/stop a criminal with a chainsaw.

true. That's why you allow some entrusted people (police, army...) to have guns. Many killer thing they are doing good in their own mind...

So I, average person with gun licence, should not be allowed to own a gun because I might be a killer, but random military private, a person who may have been randomly drafted and may even be a killer, is trusted for some reason?

well maybe a thourough background check for both, every other year, might be a good idea

It seems like it could probably work, but where are you going to get enough people to do thorough background checks on all military personnel and gun owners?

Well, that's what other countries with gun regulations do so the mighty USA should be able to pull it off. Plus I guess (hope) they already do it for the military/police, the political risk of terrorist infiltration is to damn high!

actually, if it broke during a test and YOU COULD NOT get another, if test was unfinished IT WOULD HAVE IN FACT been the cause of the bad grade!

A pencil can cause bad grades, though, and good grades. Just like guns can both kill and save lives.
