That's a typo, he clearly meant it's a conclusive study.

Christ, do we really have to put up with this ?

I thought this was the only website in the world that hadn't been over run by the new kiddie onslaught.

They never last very long. One way or another, they go away when they are unable to provide links and proof to their claims. :wink:

I just have a short fuse with the legion of idiotic blabbers.

It's even worse that they have figured out a way to outlast the adults and productive citizens in various ways.

There's even a funny little sub-game on a lot of boards, where they get together and release a tidal wave of foolish, childish drivel simply to elicit insults, then run & cry to moderators to demand suspensions and bannings.

I think they moderator-shop for fellow traveller liberal mods, just like the dems judge-shop.  It would be funny if it wasn't so damned permanently annoying.

It is annoying, but those ploys don't work on here. Everybody gets the chance to say something, but it has to be backed up with some type of proof; conservatives included. A strictly opinion based forum is pretty useless.

When these people show up on here, I'll either attack them or ignore them, depending on my mood. Usually I just ignore them; typing out responses is a waste of my time. :smile:

Is this just a typical liberal "Feeling", or do you actually have proof of such a claim?

Simply wearing shoes with laces causes tripping! That's why children are taught at home and school how to tie them.  Through repitition and practice, our children are better protected from injury and our population is better for it. Know what? Wearing laced shoes is not even a right of the people.

I am inspired by this thread. The original poster is correct in that carrying a gun increases your risk of being shot and killed, just as carrying scissors increases your chance of being cut and wounded.

The Second Amendment is a right that "Shall Not Be Infringed." Rights should not be taxed, financially or philosophicaly. They should be accurately and consistently be enforced by the people chosen to uphold the rights of others. An Irony, since we were intended to be governed "Of the People, By the People, and For the People." We are all responsible.

Giving breaks to people who abuse our rights is an infringement of our rights and trust. It is our responsibility as a people to remove those who do not serve the public trust. and when we don't, that results in the condition we as a country are in. I digress.

Gun safety should be taught in schools. Non revised history, and the reasons for the second amendment should be in the curiculum also, every year. Statisticly, Cheerleading and almost every other sport is more dangerous than Shooting sports in schools. It would be interesting to see who would be for eliminating all sports proven more dangerous than target shooting.

Well said Eyes, and the shoestring analogy is a perfect fit. :cool:

I try to ignore. Eventually they start responding to their own posts and that is when you know you have gotten them

Well, they usually get themselves. They talk around in circles until they have no place to run and hide.

Ironically, I'm listening to Rush right now, and he's speculating that this is the current problem with the republican party. They are being quiet, and praying that Obama and the left collapses under their own socialist crap.

On second thought, when these people show up, I guess I should spend more time on offensive. Our passive republicans sure aren't doing any good by ignoring the problem. :sad:

I've met Dan, he wasn't my patient but I spoke with him in the ER after transporting mine.

He's a pretty good comedian now and does shows locally in Tacoma and Seattle.

Lighten up.   Welcome to America and differing opinions.

It was a joke, lighten up.  How about some link proving my link is incorrect.  So far it's all opinion about the elite liberal yadda yadda yadda.

Anyone got anything substantive here?

Then I suggest you make clear when you're joking around.
I'm the last person you want to be telling to lighten up to on this forum.

Sure. It flies in the face of reality, and is intended to back up the argument for more gun control......which is a crock.
