Reasons your gun arguments are bullshit:
Stupid Argument 1: "Law abiding citizens need guns to keep the bad guys away."
Why it's fucking stupid: Everyone is a law abiding citizen until the moment that they're not. There is no secret band of evil doers waiting in the dark for all you "good guys" to give up your guns so that they can flood into town...

that's one of the best responses i've seen so far about all of this!!
gabeofthorns:
Thanks. I'm not necessarily anti-gun, but I am against dumb arguments. Well-thought-out arguments lead to better decisions. Unfortunately those rarely fit on bumper stickers, so people don't read them.
There are a lot of reasons to hate the Christmas holiday season; deafening marketing, screeching consumers, obnoxious amounts of money that youre expected to spend, and lets not forget the pressure to find the inevitable perfect gift for the man/woman who has everything. While I do believe that all of this is bullshit, there is one reasonably new reason to hate the Christmas holidays more...

I can understand the point that you are making, but xianity is not Disney World. Christians are persecuting others, because of their religious beliefs. Access to contraception, abortion, stem cell research, same-sex marriage, just to name a few. Christianity also embraces a dangerous and disturbing anti-intellectualism.
gabeofthorns:
As do all religions when science threatens their beliefs. I'm not talking about Christianity, though. I'm talking about Christmas.
Christianity is not dangerous. People are dangerous. People who are willing to kill or enforce their beliefs on others are going to do it regardless of what, if any, religion they espouse. It depends on the majority of people standing against that and seeing the dangers that those people pose and take measures to ensure that they are not capable of carrying out these things.

I've been trying to come up with a good way to start this, but it hasn't arrived yet. So I'm just going to go with it.
Many of my friends are atheists. I am not. I have no problems with anyone's beliefs or lack thereof, but what does rankle me is the constant bantering about "If God were real why would he let bad things...

So we just watched the new remake of Red Dawn. First, let me say that this was, without a doubt, the most terrifying movie I have ever seen. Though it is laughably awful in concept, writing, acting, special effects, and casting, it does contain something that's far more telling about the world we live in today than any movie in recent memory.
The movie was...

So here's what nobody wants to talk about when it comes to the immigration issue. You see, a lot of the people who are so strongly opposed to opening our borders up and reforming the immigration process are the very people who are making a killing off of the cheap labor that they're providing. It's in the best interest of the people who are making...

Sorry, there is mandatory sledgehammer test....I don't make the rules, I just enforce them 
gabeofthorns:
Dear, you are talking to the master of the sledgehammer. Not only can I throw a hammer like nobody short of a Norse thunder god, but I can ricochet a straight hit from one off my manly pecs How are you with a bow-staff? Because that's a pre-req for me. Gotta have bow-staff fighting skills. And look good in leather.
How are you with a bow-staff? Because that's a pre-req for me. Gotta have bow-staff fighting skills. And look good in leather.So, it's Tuesday morning and damn near every Red state wants to secede from the Union. Wow. As if we didn't have enough ammunition for the Obama-Lincoln comparison, this is just fuel to the fire. Not only is this election already being painted as the "fall of the white man" by the pundits, but now we're actually having elected representatives attempting to break apart the...

I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan, and as much as I love my job and enjoy the day-to-day aspects of life over here, I can't help but miss a few things. You see, we Americans place such little value on the importance of physical interaction, yet it is such an integral part of human life. I'm not just talking about sex, but simply hugs, shoulder rubs,...

HUGS
I completely agree, most people lose it for lack of social interactions. And the fear of being alone during a breakup, no interactions mean no support ect ect.
People good.

Well thank you. E-hugs are the next best thing 
When Veterans Day comes around, it makes me remember some very important things. Of course I remember the bravery and immense national willpower that let us win WWII. We were right in naming them the greatest generation, because the effort was borne by the whole generation of citizens of the Allied powers, not just those who fought the war. But I reserve a special place...
