Think about this...

[Zathris]

I just watch the clip you posted Dana. Adam makes some good points there.

Of course, so does Cenk, but I doubt anyone here knows that cuz I have reason to believe that no one here actually watched the video I posted.

Not so,Z. I did, and I'm sure xoB did too... at least judging from his long, but opposing, reply.

Don't give up...

I had seen it elsewhere.

Just for the record: There is no freaking way Ned Flanders is pro gun control.

Not I, that was Monster.

Ooops, sorry about that.

My mind and fingers are going outside on their own more and more.

[DanaC]

Oh really - and doing what exactly? ;p

Ok. Then, tell me your thoughts regarding the 2 shootings Cenk reported on.

Happens all the time, because there's no cure for stupid. None.
But this guy is clinging to the pole I've explained here and other threads, doing as much harm as the NRA, to the cause of rational discussion.

Ok. But what do you think about these two stories specifically?

Also, what "pole" are you talking about?

They are very much like others that can be cited, such as the well-trained State Patrol Officer
whose loaded gun was left on the table and found by his daughter and....

Or whose wife/husband/S.O/child/neighbor was shot by mistake.
Or whose wife/husband/S.O/child was intimidated by an abusive spouse.

I'm not belittling those events. ... just saying they are all too common,
and yet are preventable, are not planned or intended,
are not limited to one population or ethnic group or non-educated
or non-trained or non-familiar with guns, or on and on all around this country.

Some don't particularly care that those "events" are happening to others.
Some feel secretly pleased because such "events" support their belief system.
Some are more concerned about the $ spent in E.R.'s on treating them.

And despite the deaths and injuries and intimidations via guns,
some have drunk the NRA Koolaid about needing guns to prevent the government
from taking their guns, life, $, ... maybe their subscription to NRA magazines ... or ??? whatever.

As one Dweller likes to point out, I'm older than most Dwellers,...almost older than dirt...
and I don't believe things are going to change much in my lifetime.
But I do believe they are going to change soon despite the NRA,
as more and more people become less and less tolerant of such "accidents".

Ok, that is what I wanted to see. Now, I have proof that you watched the video.

[DanaC]

Wait - you doubted his word on that and were testing him?


Is today Mind-Fuck day and nobody told me?

[Zathris]

I got a couple more for y'all:

Yep, and I just realized I was wrong to do so, cuz that's not the messenger's job.
