Free speech and sedition?

[Cutlass]

Also, if there's an American cultural inclination to shoot people, wouldn't that just support more gun control, not less?

But that would take away the fundamental god given right to shoot people......

 

[History_Buff]

Oh man, that's funny.

Am I wrong? I've always heard Long Island was super up scale.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Long Island is a very large island. There are many upscale areas. But there are a number of areas of Brooklyn and Queens in particular that you would probably want to avoid, especially at night. However, most of it is very middle class just like suburbia anyplace else.

 

[Cutlass]

Except more crowded.

 

[Formaldehyde]

It isn't all that crowded once you get past Brooklyn and Queens, and it is even rural in large sections of the eastern tip.

So you're in favor of gun control?

You're just feeding the stereotype (And how true of one, generally speaking) that liberals hate freedom.

You are more of a gun grabber than this librul, so don't be so smug in your so-called love of freedumb.

I'm certainly all in for hating false freedoms that are making life worse for everyone.

Now whether gun control reduces or extends freedom is a very complicated issue - it's certainly far too simplistic to say that all regulation hinders liberty. Suggest a quick read of this Wiki article, in particular:

"It follows that a frontier must be drawn between the area of private life and that of public authority. Where it is to be drawn is a matter of argument, indeed of haggling. Men are largely interdependent, and no man's activity is so completely private as never to obstruct the lives of others in any way. 'Freedom for the pike is death for the minnows'; the liberty of some must depend on the restraint of others."

Or more simply, the original reason why we have a legal system:

Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil-doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak

And so are you.

Generally speaking liberals hate freedom. They hate it.

Are you really that daft?

My argument is, I really don't care to try to "win" against you... it doesn't change anything. I have my guns, and that's how our country is... so, deal with it, or go pound sand. I don't really care (not so much don't need to answer, I could answer).

You know, if you hate discussions so much why do you spend so much time on a discussion forum?

Tell us again about people who don't share your religiously-derived metaphysics should be executed.

You keep doing this. What it amounts to is "I'm right, but I can't be asked to say why, yet I'll constantly tell you that I'm right (but not why)". That's just wilful stupidity on an fast-moving, multi-topic, Internet forum.

Don't bother, you will soon be called out on how you're stalking and trolling him.

No, it doesn't.
It amounts to, if there is no new discussion to be had on the topic we've already discussed 200 times previously to this in the last two years, I'm not going to waste more time on it...

@Leoreth... you certainly are starting to fit that mold...

Wonderful, then click on the 'unsubscribe' button and let the thread take its own course.

Um... no thanks, I'll go ahead and do as I please. I wasn't the one who decided it was time to re-beat the horse... I replied long enough to see it was pointless, and then stopped.
Get over it.

@Leoreth... you certainly are starting to fit that mold...

Thanks for proving me right

 

[kochman]

Thanks for obsessing over me, when I wasn't talking to you, in multiple threads.
I'm gaining a cult following here, I love it! Thanks!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Maybe make a thread about it?
