Oh that is huge with me. People are SO ignorant. If they feel you are wierd or different, they can't get a read on you, and therefore dont trust you, think you must be crazy. It kind of makes sense to me, but at the same time they are completely oblivious of the fact that most really truly evil...

Actually, no I posted a BUNCH of valid points very respectfully which you didn't reply to. Thats whats lame about debating with you. I was actually looking forward to hearing what you had to say about those things, but nope, nothing. Thats why its lame, because its a one sided debate, not...

So should I reply to this? You're really lame to debate with as you don't respond to any of the valid points I raise. That will never happen because the politicians know it is a no win. If it were to happen, it woudln't happen in a vacuum. There would be other things going on politically and...

1. Because the right to bear arms in america has nothing to do with sporting purposes. It has to do with protection from tyranny. I know this seems silly and paranoid to many foreigners, but study some history, all stable societies fall victim to anarchy, tyranny, or invasion followed by tyranny...

I wasn't meaning to suggest that these things should GIVE you peace, but it is the way the world is, that is irrefutable. It doesnt meant you're approving of these things, or have given up on trying to make the world a better place, it just means that you accept that the world is imperfect and...

I have been sleeping really well recently. Not waking up at all in the middle of the night, going to sleep easily. This sounds nice but I think perhaps it means I am not pushing myself out of my comfort zone enough during the days. If I was I think I might have more anxiety at night. Just...

First one, yea, I think that since no one ever calls me or contacts me, no one really cares much about me. I don't make it more complicated than that, I just isolate and havent really given many people a reason to care about me. Its not that its impossible for anyone to care about a person like...

Ask him. I have ptsd but I'm a bit different than most I think. Instead of being social at times then isolating myself, I'm kind of overwhelmed by human interaction and don't really now how to make friends, so I pretty much am always alone. For me, I'd love it if someone would care about me...

I really don't care what anyone has been through, its never an excuse for being mean to others. Everyone has been through things. Every time someone goes crazy and shoots and bunch of people, afterwards the media wants to create a story of why, of what drove them to do this. The truth is thats...

Slightly better than saying 'great debating skills' with sarcasm right? It actually is a far more profound point than you probably realize as accepting the world is an unsafe imperfect and dangerous place is essential to being at peace with the fact that crazy people do crazy things. Fact is...

So cars cigarettes fast food and all the plastic stuff that gives you cancer also repulses you? Oh but those have a 'legitimate' purpose, oh but so do guns, oh but you don't 'approve' of guns legitimate purposes because they repulse you, and so on and so on.... You know what kills people...

Thats not exactly true, Aus never had the level of gun ownership America has, it was far lower when you guys decided to get rid of them, and didn't you already require registration?

I've number the points of your post that I want to respond to. 1 Maybe peopel are just dumb? Maybe there have always been dumb people? 2 Ive heard horror stories about the health care in Canada too, like having to wait a year for an ACL surgery. No system is perfect. 3 If people look for...

Humane as opposed to what? Starvation, being eaten my coyotes, hit by a car? Raised on a 'freerange' farm then slaughtered? A good shoot puts the animal down immeidiatly, its just lights out. Its about the quickest death possible. The connections responsible for sensing pain are terminated...

I think this is basically what it boils down to for lots of folks. Guns are 'icky'. End of story for most anti gun people. Hunting is far far far more humane than getting store bought meat. You're killing a wild animal who has lived a completely natural life mostly free of any human influence...

Same reason I own guns today, for entertainment and recreation's sake, as well as so I can safely and humanely harvest meat in a more ethical healthy and humane manner than supporting the disgusting and cruel livestock industry. Protection has nothign to do with it.

Yea, songs work pretty well for me. Luka by Suzzane Vega, Hell is for Children by Benatar, Anger Rising by Jerry Cantrell are a few. Philippa dating is rough. I've gone on a couple dates this summer and tried to just view it as having fun hanging out with someone for a change. Didnt get any...

I dont get it, if you're going to be THAT unrealistic with your dreams, why not dream just a little bigger and dream that everyone would be nice and responsible enough that we could all own guns without people using them to murder each other?

I am really sorry that happened to you, and obviously the system did fail in a way, no system is perfect. I have to ask though, were you vocal and involved in the process and did you make it known that he had threatened you with guns? If so the judge should lose his job.

The empire state building thing wasn't actually a 'mass shooting' It was a single murder, the murderer shot and killed his old boss, and the cops who saw it fired at him, missed a bunch of times, and hit a bunch of bystanders. At least thats what a lot of reports are saying now, you can't really...

Welcome. You said you've done bad things, but from everything I read, it sounds more like horrible things were done to you, for which I am very sorry. You did not deserve any of that.

I would also like to say I do believe there is something very sick about American society, but that gun ownership isnt it. The acceptance of violence as seemingly ok and morally defensible is more of a problem. Look at the majority of holllywood movies. Most are glorifying violence, the moral of...

After looking back at this thread, Id have to say I think this might be a strong possibility. Perhaps some conclusions were jumped to?

People really need to stop being violent. Not much chance of that happening though. Too bad, guess we'll all just have to make do and live the best we can with the knowledge that the world and the creatures that inhabit it are imperfect unsafe and dangerous.

Yea, I'm not going to keep smoking. The thing is, so, when I smoked, I actually felt great. The last time I smoked before this, I tried smoking and going out and trying to socialize, but noticed I was a lot more paranoid and connected a lot less naturally with people and people were more on...
