Well obviously that just proves that not enough people have guns, QED ! :smack:
True story: A guy who had been a friend for many years completely stopped talking to me (and has kept it up for nearly 15 years) when we argued about allowing everyone to carry guns on planes, shortly after 9-11. He said that if he had been on one of those planes with a gun, nobody would have been killed except the terrorists. I said I don’t care if you’re the Olympic pistol champ, if you’re in row 32 and I’m in row 5, I can kill the people in front of me and beside me without even leaving my seat, and you wouldn’t have any idea where the shots are coming from, let alone be able to stop me.
I thought what I said was self-evident, but he found it offensive enough to cut me out of his life. I survived the loss.
This isn’t the wild west, although it could become that if some people had their way.
Think honestly about all of the people you see in public everyday. How many of them would you trust to carry guns and how many of them would you trust to act responsibly in a crisis situation? It isn’t just you who has the right to carry, it’s also all of them.
And what happens if everyone insists on facing the door? Even worse, what happens if everyone insists on sitting in a corner and facing the door? If we can’t give that special treatment to everyone then who do we give it to? Just the special snowflakes who insist on playing Bill Hickok?
Hickok was an exception. The rule in the territorial West was local bans.
The iconic Wild West was a creation of dime novelists and filmmakers.
I thought a 
would be superfluous. My bad. 
Oops. Sorry. :o
Maybe, just maybe, one. And maybe another one. Possibly me, though I’m far too self-destructive to be trusted with one when I’m alone.
But I need to start carrying my BB long gun in my car, since that asshole squirrel was seated on a branch, some 20 feet away, where I could put one through his head, if not his eyeball, acting as if he owned the joint.
sigh I’m a good shot, but I have staff to take care of squirrels, and they can’t be arrested. He will die, violently, in good time, and my dogs will have some fun.
This could be a huge opportunity for the restaurateur that gets out of the gate first with the “Four People Per Room Café”!
sigh I just thought you knew me better.
Honestly, I didn’t even notice who had posted it. :o
But I still think it was a righteous rant even if it was misaimed! I thought “special snowflake” was a nice touch.
Or maybe hekaton shaped rooms. If you put a door in every wall, 100 people could each have their own corner and their own door to stare at!
C’mon, who’s got a good “hekaton” pun?
Heck, a ton of…
I got nothin’
Is the word “hectagon”?
Wikipedia lists both. It depends on what system you use.
Hekaton: List of polygons - Wikipedia
Hectagon: List of polygons - Wikipedia
But yeah, you’re probably right that “hectagon” is more commonly used.
Best summarized as throwing the First Amendment under the bus to protect the holy Second Amendment. :rolleyes:
Florida’s Attorney General: Anderson Cooper “encouraged anger and hate” by pointing out her record of opposing rights for LBGT people.
AKA “You’re the REAL intolerant person for pointing out that I"m a bigot! You need to be tolerant of bigots, or you’re a hypocrite” Seen it before, right here on these very boards.
Encouraged anger and hate for her right? Because she’s a homophobe? What, that’s not what she meant?
