Thread: Reasons Citizens Should Own Guns

In East Germany everybody but the disabled had to have a job, not to work was a crime punishable by imprisonment. As a result, crime rates very extremely low. I guess if your government swept up the unemployed and unskilled, gave them a job that pays for their living expenses adequatly, and training for jobs that require better qualifications, and a purpose hereby, crime rates would drop considerably. It would be expensive, but the benefits for society and the many individuals who don't become victims are obvious.

The system doesn't allow it. Government enterprises musn't compete with for profit corporations. If you agree that profit must remain the top priority, you simply have to put up with crime and other grievances.

Without access to clean water? Where in the USA do people have to drink contaminated water?

If East Germany was so great, why did the government have to build a wall and staff it with "shoot-to-kill" soldiers? Even then people risked life and limb to escape.

And making a law to force people to work seems to be just another kind of "slavery". No wonder the East German economy was so bad, and the quality of their manufactured products was a complete joke.

Freedom means people have a right to make decisions good or bad. And responsibility means accepting the consequences of your decisions.

If I chose to be a professional football player, and I am horrible at it, no one will hire me, and I will starve, but that's no ones fault but mine.

The reason East Germany had such a low crime rate, was because all the criminal elements were either tortured or killed or else worked for the government.

Can you name any socialist/communist country were people from other countries are desperately trying to emigrate (either legally or illegally)?

Thank you for sorting this out. You are excluded on both accounts, honesty and ability.

I wonder if you are as wrong about other things in your life, as you are about me?

The problem is that you are not rational by any stretch of the imagination, therefore what you perceive to be rational is not the same for fairly anyone else.
So, your bigotry - is it skin deep - vis-a-vis the 'black hordes' and 'negroes' - and what skin colour is your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend?

The "black horde" is a term I use to describe large groups of Negro people in the USA who gather in large numbers in order to get their way through force or threat of force, irregardless of the laws and actual circumstances. Not all Negro people are part of the "black horde", just the ones who try and intimidate government officials and citizens.

And, as I have stated repeated, I prefer the term Negro because it is not a slur and is a correct English term to describe people of that race (as opposed to black which is a color, and African-American which denotes someone born on the continent of Africa who has come to live in North or South America).

I treat negroes like I treat all people; as individual's based upon their characters and their subsequent actions. I do not believe they are "poor little" people needing the help and might of the caucasion liberal/progressives in order to be competitive in today's social and economic worlds.

Treat people as inferiors and they will often act like inferiors; treat people as equals, without condescension or patronizing; and they act like equals.

Maybe you should try it sometimes.

And my wife, of 38 years is 1/4 Chinese and 3/4 Thai, not that it has anything to do with anything. It appears that you are the one who is so very race conscious.

Yeah, there was a movie about that. Occurred back in the 1970s or so.

In any industrialized country, accidental contamination of drinking water will occur periodically (its the price we pay for having iPhones and warm houses in cold winters).

Whenever contamination is detected, alternate sources of clean water are provided and the contamination is mitigated as much as current technology will allow.

(Just like back in the olden days, a buffalo would die and fall into a creek and pollute that creek - American Indians would drink and get sick until they found the problem. Nothing new.)

No, it doesn't actually and we will have to wait until the all the facts come out - not that facts are important to you

Okie,

I assume you make posts of this type when you are very drunk. However, I would think once you sobered up, you would be so ashamed at what you have posted, that you would vow never to post when drunk.

Hopefully, this post is not truly indicative of your debating skills or intellect.

What do you consider yourself, are you 'Native-American', 'WASP-American', 'Real-American™'?

He is simply a fool

An old, bigoted fool.

America's gun laws are one of the very few things about my Country I'm still proud of. Still, so called home invasion robberies like that described by the OP are extremely rare, they're not an urban myth but they are an urban exaggeration.

As a young cop, I must have seen at least a dozen, including one in which a pregnant woman was shot, and I do not recall ever seeing one that did not involve victims with a history of drug sales, possession or similar crimes. Also, when they are reported in the media, the information about the victim's past is never included. Essentially the best way to minimize your chances of a home invasion robbery is to not sell drugs out of your house. Again though, some do happen but they are rare.

^ Though I disagree with the premise of privately owned guns, BobR has made more sense in his one post than others who try to justify it . . . (hello 'Rick - four taps to the body, two to the head - repeat if required' Thai)

Post #162,

RickThai was using the term "negro" in response to Rainfall´s use of the term.

You can't read quotes, barbaro? Your stoic defense of your mate is admirable, but Rick used it in the first post of this thread

It wasn't "accidental". It was at best criminal negligence. The suit was settled for $333 million.

Not even worth talking about according to Rick 'Four bullets in the body and two taps in the head, repeat if required' Thai.

Don't be silly . . . if you were a lesbian and disabled you'd fill any minority criteria and be set for life!

You're not left-handed by any chance, are you?

I agree with you that BobR's post was excellent and it is always nice to read something from somebody who has been-there-seen-it-got-the-t-shirt experience.

But I'm inclined to disagree about the privately owned guns bit. If Americans have decided that they want guns and have the right to them then let them have as many as they want until they change their laws (or Constitution). If they decide that school shootings and all the other stuff is an acceptable price to pay then so be it.

What frosts my nipples is when they start trying to export such ideas to other places. If Ricky wants to cower under his bed polishing his Glock then fine, he can go do it in the USA. No need to import that mentality to Thailand, this place has enough problems already.

From Merriam-webster:

ir·re·gard·less
adverb \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\
Definition of IRREGARDLESS
nonstandard
: regardless
Usage Discussion of IRREGARDLESS
Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose.

First, Africa is a continent, not a country. And secondly, Irish-American is not used to identify someone's race. It is used to identify what country they (or their ancestors originated from).

If a Negro, who was born in Ghana, and then immigrated to the USA, then referring to him as a Ghanaian -American would be perfectly correct, but you wouldn't be talking about his race. See the distinction?

As far as race, I consider myself a Caucasian. As far as anything else, I am a US Citizen of primarily Dutch and Scottish ancestry (an obsessive cheapskate).

And yes, I, like almost everyone else on almost all forums, occasionally misspell a word or two. Not a big deal.

I guess if you can't fault the logic, you have to nitpick something??

In your apparent zest for socialism, have you ever considered moving to a sub-Sahara, socialist country? Then you wouldn't have to put up with capitalistic, Caucasians (and there you really would have to worry about the drinking water).

Good luck and Santi,

RickThai

Is this Americans using four syllables when 3 will do (again)..?

Irregardless => regardless so its a waste of type space. How on earth it found its way into a dictionary I dunno...innit...
