Thank you, exactly right shade. Painfully obvious even. And good points as well.

That being said, Dickie, since you can't seem to respond with any sense of reasonability, just don't talk to me anymore. Don't direct any posts to me because I will be ignoring them completely. You do you, I'll do me and crack awesome jokes that you are free to miss out on as you please.

Frankly I don't give a single solitary fuck what you think, so stop telling me what you think. End rant

Yet ironically it proved Broadswords point. But we're all confused now, is all this f*ckety-f*ck stuff you've come out with since, is it still part of the satire and brilliantly funny trolling? Perhaps a fellow 'murican can join in and confirm that or not for us? And if not, could it be that you have a chip on your shoulder because I felt it necessary to be brutally honest with Atreides, somebody I've met numerous times in person (unlike you) and not get sucked in by his passive aggressive veiled resignation, and to call him out for his utter contempt for something that had given him so much for so long by so few. The fact that you sought fit to stride in like a hero when not asked (actually he loves emotive support, nay, he needs it) and then fall on your sword with your own rage quit was entirely your choice. I didn't ask you to go, but go you did (how we scratched our heads and chuckled) yet apparently it's my fault and you'll forever consider me somebody shit because of your choices.

For this alone I put you into the special group I created for our funniest forum-bots, congratulations you are the first human being to make it.

Yes! :lecture: Someone see's it!! And I do agree with you shade that gun laws in some states do need to be more strict.

In ACG we've never censored someones speech in the forums, I do not agree with your decision to do this, for the same reason we do not lock forums so people do not have the chance to communicate.

In the states if they actually enacted a gun ban, only the honest folk would give them up, and I promise you that the amount of guns getting buried on their land before the government showed up to get them would be astronomical.

In Canada they "fall" into the lake. Many a gun owners firearms had fishing accidents when the long gun registry was brought in. Stupid, wasted a lot of money just to scrap it.

Amusing reads.

Chris Rock has the answer; needs to be $5,000 per bullet, because if you then shoot someone’s ass he definitely had it coming.

Better still, $100,000 per bullet, that’ll learn ya.
Cheers,

U.S. needs better mental health screening, a secure storage law and a handgun registry. Compliance with these laws should be enforced through civil penalties, not criminal (as it is here in glorious Canuckistan).

The registry would almost 100% never happen and would be pretty impractical at this point as Smoke Jumper demonstrated with his post. The other 2 items NEED to happen if the US wants to get a handle on its gun violence issue.

The question is, when does "My right to self-defence." Stop outweighing society's right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It's a quandry all right and nothing is going to change as long as one side wants total bans and the other is complicity okay with the massacres of innocent people.

I don't envy the politicians who try to tackle this issue because they're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

That's my 2 cents on the issue anyway.
More vodka Comrade!

He can speak, his rights remain unchanged. He openly said that he shall ignore me, again, the irony of escalation - eventually we would just pull out our biggest weapons ;)

Is this ok though?

Sprite is a readable person. He thinks that ACG does not ban but he wants that so he can badmouth me, call this place Korea etc :wank: but he's wrong, we do ban, it's just we haven't had to because Wheaton's Law actually works, and this is a great place for a laugh. He is being a dick in the biggest way he can, he really shows that nasty side he has. Let's not forget, that I just suggested that he should be apologising to other people, not to me, and that was up to him. Look at the bell end now :lol:

I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight, To the gull’s way, and the hawk’s way, and the free wings’ delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover, And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight’s over.
