4/203 April never ended.
1974AD = 53Ce
the empire never ended. PKD RIP.
\_ ???
\_ read Valis.
\_ Does that mean no more birthdays? Do we all stop aging?
\_ April is the cruelest month.
\_ England does not have freedom, Tom.
Recently England jailed a man for
killing a burglar.
\_ ah, so "freedom" includes
"freedom to murder". -tom
\_ We call it self defense.
I suggest that you should
be imprisoned and retrained
for assaulting that poor
guy at the ATM who only
wanted you to share your
wealth.
\_ I don't know, but England did
abolish slavery in the 1830s.
\_ Hello? Modern times? England
still had colonies until the
middle of the 20th century, too.
What's either have to do with
modern England? You're right.
You _don't_ know.
\_ Like US has no colonies now?
\_ Well ya know what they say... a Republican is a Democrat
that's been mugged. I'm sure Tom will be thrilled to know
the cops will show up 90 minutes later to take a report
after some garbage busts into his house, robs the place,
and beats the shit out of him. Another favorite is "a
young man that isn't liberal has no heart, a grown man
that isn't conservative is a fool".
\_ oh incidentally; I was mugged once, at an ATM in
San Bruno, and fought the guy off. If either of us
had had a gun I might have been shot. -tom
\_ I was mugged and am still a liberal. Also, it is
"old man" not "grown man" in your quote. -ausman
\_ it's also "has no brain" rather than "is
a fool". -tom
\_ Well, what can you expect from someone
with no brain.
\_ Ok, so how exactly would strict guns laws that
keep citizens from arming themselves have kept
your attacker from being armed? Law don't keep
anyone from doing anything. They provide a post-
facto punishment. If he was willing to assault
and rob you, he's already not concerned with
post-crime punishment. And while we're at it,
if you'd had a weapon, you could have apprehended
the criminal so he wouldn't turn on some other
person less able to physically defend themselves.
Thank you for making the streets more dangerous
by teaching a criminal how to better choose his
victims.
\_ Garbage! Gun laws are not for keeping
law-abiding citizens from owning guns.
\_ What? Are you nuts? Who are they written
to keep guns from then? Are you talking
about the U.S. or somewhere else? Of
*course* gun laws are written to keep
law abiding citizens from having guns.
--not NRA member or gun owner but awake
\_ They are written to keep them from
people who want to own guns but
can't or do not want to handle
the responsibilities that go with
it. Are you pretending to be
stupid? - responsible gun owner.
\_ Hi troll.
\_ Here's a funny cartoon on the subject:
