Stabbing at Lone Star College

Freedom is more than an individual right that we enjoy out of preference. Freedom is also limiting the power of the government. Perhaps there are some good policies that are prevented by our tight limitations on the power of our government, but these limitations do far more to prevent excesses and abuses. I don't trust my government to be as benevolent in the future as it is now. But I trust that we will be able to prevent an evil American government (mostly) from doing evil things to Americans.

As Krill says, it's a difference decided through society. You guys like your version and we like ours. I would absolutely detest living under a system that was like yours, and I'm sure you feel exactly the same about ours.

In comparison, from a UK department store:



Not a day goes by that I am not thankful to live in a free country.

Can their minors buy fireworks?

[dannubis]

No. But we can buy liquor from the age of 18.

If it makes you feel any better, I had a grilled strip steak and a sweet potato tonight.

But most of the time, frozen chicken fingers, a potato or instant rice, and some canned vegetables is my dinner. <10 minutes of nuking and it's done.

More importantly, canned and frozen food lasts forever, so I can go grocery shopping as little as once every two weeks.

You'd be better off with the meat canned and the vegetables frozen.

And how many of them are hospitalized because THEY didn't have a gun?

You really should lay off watching too many Western Hollywood movies.

After reading posts in this thread, it amazes me how some gun enthusiasts/owners here do not even know the purpose of a gun.

A gun is made for the purpose of killing (whether self defense, hunting, committing crime). And some of you here are arguing this obvious fact?

Some people just like to collect shiny things. What's wrong with that?

I know, I know. I'm waiting for someone on here to respond, "Ah, but I only use my guns to shoot clay pigeons."

There are always exceptions to everything; does not invalidate the obvious, though.

[The Mad Monk]

Far more guns have shot clay pigeons and assorted inanimate objects than have shot people in this country. I would hardly call it an exception.

Balderdash! Guns can serve many purposes. Blowing up watermelons being filmed by super slow motion video cameras being the most necessary, but followed closely by penis enhancement for those undergoing a midlife crisis. What would you have us do instead, film watermelons being stabbed with tiny limp penises in real time?

Unicorns. and glitter make up your world.
