I still think it's fighting fire with fire. The problem is that too many people have guns. How is more people with guns going to solve that?

It's true. But you cant just up and take something someone spent their hard earned money on. I'm sure you wouldnt want the government coming in and taking your computer away from you because it poses a threat to your health in some way, would you?

My computer's pretty awesome, but killing people with it might be problematic. Both of you agree with my statement - apparently there's a problem with guns there when you consider scenario of armed robbery of your house very realistic, AND there's apparenty need for fighting fire with fire.

I think we should support evolution by killing surplus babies and old people.

Now, kittens.

Yes, kill them with guns.

Are you starting a dog vs. cat debate?



I love a dog, but cats FTW. That's only is I had to choose at gunpoint, WHICH IS WRONG!! Or is it right? AH I DON'T KNOW!?11!

You all can just leave the weapon issue to me, okay? I'm trained.

Also some additions, just for completeness' sake:
[ ] Death penalty
[ ] Afghanistan/Iraq
[ ] Death metal vs. black metal

Last one is pretty simple to settle: blackened death ftw!

Well done so far to everyone on this board for containing a very 'flammable' debate and discussing it like adults. I think maybe that IF anyone does want to discuss this gun ownership issue further that it should happen in a new, separate thread so that we can focus on the WTFs.

My WTF?:

I broke my elbow last weekend. Yesterday, while standing up to get on the bus (and struggling a bit, with only one arm and all) the old lady next to me slid over in her seat to take my seat (I was sat at the window) before I had left my seat...??? So I had my arse in an old womans face and she half tripped me up as I left my seat. Why was she so desperate to get the window seat??!? WTF?

Healthy discussion != Flame war

Maybe you just have a really admirable arse.

Quite possibly there's plenty of welfare-abusing Poles there. I've also heard that there were plenty of them leeching monies from Norway - sitting on arses in Poland and somehow getting welfare money from Norwegian government. Until Norwegians got annoyed and kicked them away off money-tit. It sucks since Norwegians were damn nice to us and now we'll be associated with such freeloaders.

Really? Don't think us Norwaygiaens would have a functioning society without you Poles, like 50% of the workforce are Polish :p Annoying when I'm trying to renew my buspass on the bus though as noone speaks mah language.

Yup, it was in the news few months back, some people who lost jobs there returned to Poland while still getting Norwegian unemployment money (which are probably not that big by Norway's standards, but well, Norway's damn expensive) - they figured out they just have to send mail every two weeks with information that they're searching for jobs and bam, free lunch. Your govt told them to fuck off finally and even's making them give monies back if I remember correctly. Sad story.

(hope they at least speak English)

Awww that sucks. I broke my elbow before too! Mine was tripping over a dog...
Although, that is a little strange. D:

What about me? I am married too, with 2 rabbits, 1 hamster, 1 gerbil, 3 fish and a whole pile of mangos.

Arse and mangos sounds like the best combination I've ever heard!

... I'm talking about for the WTF? thread of course...

I WTF'd when I saw your signature, islandsinthesky...!
