Reply to Some thoughts on "gun control" in Politics Stardock Forums

[quote who="Draginol" comment="25"] If we break it down to a per-100,000 rating for regions, which removes the population from the equation, the UK has 1.4 murders per 100,000 people. For comparison, the US has 5.5. Canada has a rate of 1.7. If guns make society safer, why is the USA's murder rate so relatively high? My blog was fairly short and yet some people lack the reading comprehension of even that. Which part of: Societies in which citizens have few guns al

You punish law abiding citz meanwhile not solving the problem. People that are not to have guns WILL get guns some how some way... look at drugs.

Reply to Some thoughts on "gun control" in Politics Stardock Forums

One more thing – you're saying that there are other crimes that are far higher in the UK than in the US and it's because guns are more freely available. So what you're saying is that if I live in the US, my home has a lower chance of being burglarized and my possessions have a lower chance of being stolen, but I have a higher chance of being killed. Am I reading this right? You'd rather be killed than have some stuff stolen from you?

Reply to Some thoughts on "gun control" in Politics Stardock Forums

Holy incomplete argument, Batman. Your first point is something that both of us can agree on. People comparing weapons of immense power to a 7-round pistol is flawed, to say the very least. However, that's where my agreement with you ends. Talking about guns without bringing gun crime into the argument is silly. That's like talking about why we should ban alcohol without talking about any crimes that include alcohol – what's the point? I, too, would appreciate links to all

I find it fascinating that the entire country is in the shitter and the only thing you can do about it is bicker about who should foot the bill – the people who can't afford it unless they sell a child for medical experiments, throw the other in the sea and don't eat for 3 weeks, or the people who can't have their morning Starbucks for two mornings each week. People do exist who work as hard (maybe harder) than any CEO in the US and simply don't make as much money. I mean, I exist, righ

To an extent, that might be fair. A conservative would take all the cookies (opportunity), and then distribute them one by one to people who can prove they're worthy for the cookies based on an arbitrary scale.

Reply to Getting sick of the race card in Politics JoeUser Forums

[quote who="Draginol" comment="11"] I think the case could be made that had Obama been white, he probably wouldn't have won the nomination. [/quote] If you're sick of the race card, it would only make sense to stop bringing it up. It's ridiculous to bring race into the discussion only when it benefits you. Either make it an issue, or leave it alone – otherwise, you look like a hypocrite.

Reply to Obama's a socialist, let's be real in Politics Stardock Forums

[quote who="ToughLove" comment="22"] When cornered, liberals always jump for the personal attack. Ask a question about Obama and get your background investigated. Argue that Obama is a socialist and get called a Nazi or a fascist. Marx was a communist, not a socialist. You may want to look up the difference. A communist wants to abolish private property and have society work for the greater good of teh whole. A socialist still believes in capitalism but just wants an equality o

Reply to Obama's a socialist, let's be real in Politics Stardock Forums

"Obama's a socialist, let's be real" This is why I'm not a fan of taking political insight from anyone on the right. As soon as someone says the word "collective" or "together", they're immediately labelled a socialist. Let me make something very clear: Marx was a socialist. Obama is not, by any stretch, a socialist. You took one comment that he said and moved him from slightly right-of-centre on the political scale to Lenin territory. I have not heard Obama say that he wants
