The logic in that is hard to find I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but this man also said better be safe than sorry NASA also said better safe than sorry... Car manufacturers say better safe than sorry... Many people say better safe than sorry... I dont really get what you mean by that. Ar...

I did not imply that that could be a cornerstone... I think. Anyway, not what I meant.

I was just trying to analyze the possible extreme cases, and to see the advantages of both sides.

hmm...

Heres a thought... what if YOU are wrong. Ive heard the saying; 'Far better to be Christian and wrong than to be Aethist and right.' A simple analysis of this statement might go as follows; Lets pretend that you believe in a God, and that this God has supplied a way into heaven and/or hell. If you a...

Ahem, now that thats out of my system, back to the matter at hand. 2. I'd like to know what percentage of people are killed by guns, knifes, poison, by hand or any other object (except guns). Well, I found lots of numbers that all contradict each other... Not much help. 1. Leads me to the question: ...

Again...Why ? I could requote everything posted above and put it all in a nice list for you, or you could read it... If you cannot see the use for weapons by yourself, then I'm afraid that I can't help you. See, I used to think that some people like blowing things up, that some people like to hit a...

A new world record for understatement, right here on SPCR! Hahaha! Yup... Was just trying to get the point across that weapons do have a point, and they aren't going anywhere fast. An ounce of logical discussion goes a long way... Anyway, Neil, I can't help but wonder what you are trying to get acr...

Is there any logical rationalization for a gun that shoots 1000 rounds per minute? Marksmanship, game hunting, self protection, sure. But there's no reason to make guns, real or fake, if the intended use is for hunting humans. Firstly, you might be interested in this article by PM... http://www.pop...

Please reread the whole sentence that you partially quoted -- you've distorted the meaning of what I wrote. sorry, Neil, I didn't really think that it was logical that you meant that Tom Dick and Harry were really out to get you... Typical archenemies, I guess. All rights must be balanced against t...

Woa! Hold your horses, Neil... This is not a sound basis for a good argument. Its not that simple. For one, the weapons that you just listed are rather expensive, don't you think? Way out of the price range of average joe (although I'm sure he would love to have one so he could blast your home into ...

Well, I live in the US, and here's my opinion... For a long list of human rights, you might look at the Bill of Rights in the Constitution... For example: The Bill of Rights prohibits Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion, forbids infringement of the right to keep and ...

Ok, let the show begin...



Wow, just discovered that thread is twelve pages long...

Sorry 'bout that, I was just looking for a quick reply to Neil, who seems to be all too anxious to tell us about guns and death...

Relativly new here, so please bear with me... Haven't dug through all the old threads yet,

The problem of trying to ban any type of gun, be it handgun or heavy assault, is that it opens the gate. Once the system is set and heavy assault guns get banned, whats going to make those in control stop? We know that the dream for many is to have a gun free america, and were these people to get in...

Here's two scenarios: Scenario 1: A Madman carrying an ILLEGAL AK-47 walks into a store and starts unloading his clip into the crowd. The people panic and run around trying to find cover but can't get out of store. When the madman's clip runs out, he calmly reloads with a fresh clip and starts syste...

First off, WOW, thats a lot of typing... China, Cuba Chinas pop density, as you said is ----138 Cuba pop density is ---------------------102 United Kingdom --------------------------246 Germany ---------------------------------232 Italy----------------------------------------193 Poland--------------...

To get back on point... Redistributing wealth is communism. The ideal system is to be ruled lightly by a strong government. Its this thing called freedom, which you seem to be letting go of so easily. I cannot help but wonder what we thought would happen when we started to slowly but surely chip awa...

If things were truly as you say, then we wouldn't be here. If the republicans were in any way succeeding (which you seem to be saying) then wouldn't things be different? Two stations is hardly what I would consider the mass media. FACT is the liberals in control now, and you can't deny it. but you k...

Im getting fed up with the republican antics and them trying to call this 'bailout' some sort of socialism. Its a total BS propaganda tactic. Who owns the mass media! Who has infiltrated every single household with its propaganda?! You think that the far right is bad, why dont you look at your own ...

*grumbles* What you seem to have forgotten was how the United States used to be! We did not get here by high taxation. We did not get here by making things what you call 'FAIR Sorry, but I thought it was evident that I was talking to 'undertheradar'... By 'FAIR' I was refering to what he had said, n...

Ahem, sorry for the mistake... I misread the webpage I was reading, what it really said was that the rate was decreasing... Oh, and remember that information can be found to support anything on the internet. As far as 'FAIR' tax, the unfortunate truth is that 'FAIR' means that the rich pay more (hig...

Most objects in the basement aren't worth much That was merely a figure of speech, I wasn't actually thinking of boxes of useless junk. You still haven't addressed my point about the rich. Fact is, there are LESS millionaires/billionaires in the United States now then there were a couple years ago,...

Ahh... So you think that the more you own the more you should pay? And that this applies to things stored in your basement? This sounds lopsided... You should not be taxed on what you own, only on what you make. How much that the top 5 percent owns should not have any implication in the matter... On...

It would seem that the "rich" are already paying most of the taxes... In 2007 the top 25 percent were paying 85 percent of the taxes, when they made only 65 percent of the income... The bottom 50 percent payed only 3 percent of the taxes when they made 13 percent of the income... Here is a hypotheti...
