Moore shows scenes of Baghdad before the invasion (read: liberation) and in his weltanschauung, it’s a place filled with nothing but happy, smiling, giggly, overjoyed Baghdadis. No pain and suffering there. No rape, murder, gassing, imprisoning, silencing of the citizens in these scenes.





That pretty much sounds like the way you describe the states.

Love is the law.

All this discussion and I should have just left Dan talking to prove that carrying guns is not an effective way to tackle crime:

Written by: DJ Dantana


The little 22 pistol in Kaleb's hand had no effect on the BG's actions.




Only a 22 I know - but should we all carry semi-automatics round with us? ubblol

And not everyone watches Moore noon and night - I know for a fact that Glass has not watched Farenheit 9/11 'cos I told him not to bother watching it.

Hi again spanner, no problem, I'll answer any questions you have. Here's the dude's name too "David Micheal Pierce" (I think that is the spelling) He lives Noble County, Oklahoma. HE goes by Mike. He is a trained boxer, and has gone to prison previously for beating people up untill they were almost dead, and manufacturing and using illegal drugs, Methamphetamines.

Prevously that day, "Mike" had been going around the town of Orlando, telling everybody he was looking to fight, was getting saved (becoming a christian) next month so he needed to get it all done now, because nothing he did now would matter after he was "saved".

Kaleb never did anything to the guy, Kaleb just so happened to be the random victim Mike was looking for.

The bad guy physicaly assaulted Kaleb, in Kaleb's own front yard (Paul is Kaleb's neighbor) The the bad guy came back with a gun, and knocked on Kaleb's door, Paul saw it and called the cops. Paul also called me, because he knew the police wouldn't stick around all day and night to protect him and his wife, and his little children, Kane 7, Gavin 5, and Cloe 3. The bad guy was never in police custody that day or night, or the next day. In fact, the bad guy came back the next day, with his "mentor" the guy who was supposed to be helping rehabilitate the bad guy, (so he wouldn't go back to prison for life). The BG came back and BEGGED for forgiveness. And since we try wink to be good christian folk, we forgave him. And we let him know, that if he came back around again and threatened people's lives (and threatened to rape little children) , we had full permision from the authorities to kill his @55. Thus, he has never been back. He is afraid for his life to come back and try to hurt us. If we didn't have guns, Mike would not afraid to come around, what would we do? Call the cops? the cops take an hour to arrive. WE could ALL be dead by then.

And hopefully, after sobering up the next day, Mike really did have the fear of god in him, and really did shape up., lose the gun, and get off the tweek. We could have pressed charges and he would have went to prison, possibly for life.. and we can still press charges in the future, as we have witesses, 911 telephone calls, and a police statement on file, and ol' boy has a rap sheet the length of my arm.

Spanner, as for your last series of questions, I forgot to mention that the town of Orlando, Oklahoma has a population of 300 and has no police force. The nearest police are 20 miles away... and IF they can find your house, they will be there in about 30 minutes to one hour.

There are many places in the USA, indeed, in the world, where there are no police hanging out next door. People who live in communities with police often forget this. And when city folk start banning gun, they are in a way discriminating against people who do not have police stations next door. And even in cities where there are police, the police take time to get there. It only takes a few moments for a crime to take place. Even if the police can get there in one minute, that can be 50 seconds to long.

Dom, the point was, the dude was crazy, and a 22 pistol would have stopped him, physicaly. But he was not AFRAID of it, because he was high on meth, and his pistol was much bigger. However, the BG was afraid of a big nasty "assault rifle". Kaleb could have killed the BG, but none of us good guys wanted to kill anybody. Perhaps you just missread the part where my big gun did stop the criminal, and nobody had to die.

wink a link for an 8 month old poll, Glass... :P I think the situation is not as bad as some people like to claim. And it is not as good as some people like to claim. To say that 100,000 Iraqis have died is rediculous. Just as it is rediculous to say that EVERYBODY over there want's the USA to stay there forever. Although about 10% of them DO want the USA to stay indefinitely... hah hah hah, yea right.

"I'm a permanent Resident, and I had no problem buying a gun in Texas. Just to be given the privilege to stay in the US now requires extensive FBI checks (rightly so). As such, as long as you are here as an immigrant, and not a non-immigrant (ie you have a green card and are not here on some temporary H1-B visa or something like that), you can possess a firearm. It's just one of those things that makes it great to be here! I came over from Britain. It sometimes seems like only the bad guys are allowed guns over there. " -fragman

1) The point still proves that having a gun doesn't always stop a crime. Having a bigger gun may, but that's a vicious cycle ending in death.

2) It's an 8 month old poll - things have being getting worse since and everyone from the Iraqi president to the CIA have agreed that huge mistakes have been made and some (including the CIA) are saying the country is headed for civil war. People in Iraq are not happy - and trust me, my sources include a couple of prominent Iraqi's working for the Iraqi government and not via any media.
And survey's depend upon the questions asked - which are easily skewed.

3) And now you're cutting and pasting other people's opinions expressed on a pro gun website to back up your own! If you're feeling out gunned here, so to speak, and unable to come up with novel discussion points then give up.

Excuse me Dan, but isn’t about time you took those blinkers off.

Does it really matter if the death toll 2,000 or 100,000?

People are getting killed for no reason, other than Uncle Sam had a hard day at the office and decided that he needed to boost his ego by beating up a small country, and in the process acquiring all that countries assets and possibly starting world war 3.

And hey, I don’t believe any of that “needing a gun for self-protection rubbish” either. Sounds like a crock to me. Not sure what you guys are playing at with all those guns, but I’ve heard about those little towns in the States that don’t have any clocks.

Wouldn’t it be better if psychos didn’t have access to guns?

I get the feeling that you guys like all those crazy heroics wink

The Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice has just posted a 93-page written opinion that declares (and makes the case for) "we conclude that the Second Amendment secures an individual right to keep and bear arms."

The opinion was prepared at the request of outgoing Attorney General John Ashcroft and apparently delivered to him on 24 August 2004. It was posted on the USDOJ web site yesterday (16 December).

While I would rather see this come out as a Supreme Court opinion, this well-researched, documented and footnoted DOJ OLC opinion is a good start. It goes far beyond the letter that AG Ashcroft sent to U.S. Attorneys in May, 2001 indicating his belief and position that the Second Amendment affirms an individual right.

Here is the link for USDOJ Legal Opinions.

https://www.usdoj.gov/olc/2004opinions.htm

There are some like 1,000 accidental injuries by firearms each year, but 2.5 million incidents in which someone uses a gun in self defense to ward off an assailant. Wow.

https://www.pulpless.com/gunclock/noframedex.html


In responce to Dom,

1. In this case, it was a viciouse cycle ending in LIFE, or have you even read my post?

2. Of course EVERYBODY in Iraq isn't happy with USA being there(Just like EVERYBODY does not like chocolate). At least now they can speak about not being happy (without getting took out and shot in the head) .. oh, and they can now ELECT their own government. And a significant portion of those wackos who are killing Iraqi troops and policemen, and women and children and USA soldiers... are from other contries (outside of Iraq) ! I wouldn't exactly call that a "civil war". More like an invasion. For the most part, Iraqis are trying to work together for peace.


3) Just posting a fellow Britton's view points. wink Just so everybody knows not all brittons are anti-freedom, pro-police state.

Stone, of course it matters if it is 100,000 or 2,000, That is like saying it doesn't matter if Hitler killed 2 people or 8,000,000 people.

I agree, it would be great if bad people did not have access to guns. It is unfortunate, that even in merry old england, where handguns are completely illegal, handguns are the leading firearm used by criminals. Gee, looks like all those laws work..... they are great at disarming law abiding citizens. help

That statement means nothing whatsoever.
It's like saying that knives are the criminals choice of edged weapon.
Or that bread is the public's choice of baked goods.

The point isn't that handguns are used more than any other firearm, since they're obviously going to be easier to get hold of.
What would be a more telling statistic is what the leading weapon used by criminals is. If it's a gun of any kind, that would prove that the laws don't do much.
However, here in blighty, guns are a involved in a small minority of crime, therefore the laws probably are working.

DJ Dantana, your comments end up annoying me so much with all the completely meaningless tripe that's in them that I end up having to put a post in myself, despite trying not to involve myself in this thread.
I'm going to have to stop reading this thread completely I think.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

dude, you obviously missed the point.

Pistols are totaly illegal in england, yet they are the most commonly used firearm in English gun crime. How are pistols easier to get ahold of than other guns? Law abiding citizens can still get shotguns (after jumping through a lot of hoops juggle , AND if the local police decide to allow it, AND you have a place to go shoot, AND you have references from lots of friends who also don't have criminal records.... AND if the police chief isn't having a bad day because his wife didn't give him any nookey) .

Yet sawed-off shotguns are the SECOND most used guns in english gun crime. Theoreticaly, sawed-off shotguns should be the most used firearm, since shotguns can be stolen from people who legaly own them, and sawed off at home, by a criminal. But PISTOLS are most commonly used by the criminal. Despite the fact that England is supposed to be "cleaned" of pistols. Please explain this descrepancy to me, huh? :rolleyes:

..I'm waiting....

Oh, sorry Stone, I forgot to answer your question, No I do not enjoy "heroics". When I was holdign that gun on ol' boy, I had to fight back tears a couple times (keep my emmotions under control) I was very very sad that he was about to make me kill him, and I did not enjoy it one bit.

Well, theoretically communism works.

Generally, in order to get a shotgun license, the police have to be damned sure you're suitable to have one and not a nutbar.
Also, you personally have to make damned sure that you've got somewhere secure to keep them where they can't be stolen easily before you can get a license.
Shotguns aren't as easy to steal as you might think.

I'd go so far as to say that pistols are used more often because they're easier to hide, even a shotgun with a sawn-off barrel doesn't fit easily into a trouser pocket.
Also a fair few pistols used in robberies are fake or airpistols. For some reason they're still dumped into the same category in a number of reports I've seen, skewing the numbers way out.

*shrugs* That's it for me in this thread, I really can't be bothered anymore.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Should someone this emotional have a firearm in the first place? Imagine if someone this unstable were pointing a weapon at you, regardless of the circumstances... And then let's assume that everyone who legally has a gun is this sensitive and noble.

We're not counting all the desparate, careless, stupid or heartless gun owners, who will shoot you in the face as soon as look at you.

Starting to seem like no one should have that power in their hands? Neither side can handle it.

hey guys, just aside from this whole gun law discussion (which is apparently not really leading anywhere)

dantana, i took this from the site you gave a link to about our man bush implementing a policy on protecting the earths oceans and great lakes..

"provide advice on establishment or implementation of policies concerning ocean-related matters,"

sadly this is as close of a description one gets from that article concerning what the pres is really planning.. it seems that he is simply stating this as a plan without the funding or the detailed outline to back it up.. dont get me wrong, i am definitely for america leading the world in the battle against pollution and protecting the environment, but this does not convince me one bit.. the way i see it, the US govt, or better said, the bush admin is more out for money and power than for what is really in the best interest of the world.. as the only superpower these days (however maybe not for long biggrin.. Go China and the EU!!) i think the states has an obligation, and therefore bush too as head of that country, to initialize some of those procedures needed to be taken in order to straighten out the environment..

really, what exactly are "ocean-related matters"? are these the problems divers suffer when they come up to the surface too fast? or the currents that carry away the fertilised eggs of certain fish? can it be any more vague?? If bush and the US are so dedicated to help the worlds waterways and the rest of the environment, then why did they back out of the Kyoto Protocol?? as far as i know ( and being a biologist i know a bit about it) the largest problem we face today is not overfishing, its not oilspills, and its not toxic waste run-off being dumped into the great lakes.. its the gross emissions of CO2 and SO2 (i know we went through the whole statistics ordeal a month or so ago, and i dont intend to bring that up again). so one thing the US and the rest of the world needs to work on, including developing countries such as South Africa, Brazil and China is cutting down the emissions of those toxic gases..

phew.. man, that was exhausting..
and please dantana, ive asked you a few questions in the past and not gotten any response, but answer this one please.. do you really take this proposal the bush admin made seriously? and if so, why?

one, i bet
1)he chose industry leaders to chair the committee, giving them not only another job with very little work and big retirment benefits, but another direct connection to lawmakers without the need for bothersome lobbyist middlemen

2) another way to put off what they already know so they can bleed the cash out, that 80% of the fish in the sea have been fished out, and we teeter on the brink of ecological collapse, and the third world fishermen are running out of food and being put out of a way to support their families, and the incresae in sunlight UV is killing off the phytoplankton which form the backbone of our O2 production in the seas and the backbone of the food chain. who needs a committee? ask any marine biologist andthey'll tell you.

freedom of speech as also now apparently null and void, so even more reason for Americans to keep their guns - it may not be that long before we do have to fight the government.

https://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=st...arts_monkeys_dc





hey vanize, looks like their attempts at censorship blew up their faces and turned around and bit them in the ass biggrin

the piece below was sent to me by email, sorry i don't have a link to back it up:

Written by:

A controversial portrait of President George W Bush, formed using monkey heads, has been projected on a giant billboard in Manhattan.

Chris Savido's acrylic painting, Bush Monkeys, prompted gallery managers to close down a 60-piece show at New York's Chelsea Market last week.

Anonymous donors subsequently paid for the picture to be posted over the entrance to Holland Tunnel for a month.
Some 400,000 drivers are expected to see the billboard each day.

The small painting appears to be a portrait of Mr Bush but on closer inspection is made up of monkey heads in marshes.
Managers of Chelsea Market have refused to be drawn on why the original exhibition was closed down but their decision has provoked accusations of censorship.

'Beautiful expression'
The organisers of the original exhibition, art publishers Animal Magazine, said it had been contacted by anonymous donors who wanted it to be seen by a larger audience.
"What has surprised everyone is that this image was considered controversial," Animal said in a statement.
"Bush Monkeys, by any measure, is an intelligent, civil and beautiful expression of the artist's frustrations with the current presidential administration. It is a wonderful example of responsible and effective political criticism."

The painting is now being sold on internet auction site eBay to raise money for a charity which donates money to parents of US soldiers who want to supply their children with body armour in Iraq.

The charity is close to 23-year-old Savido's heart as he says he has many friends serving in Iraq.

Money will also be raised for arts education in deprived areas.
Bidding has so far reached $4,000 (ÂŁ2,067).

40 Reasons to Support Gun Control


Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, and Chicago cops need guns.

Washington DC's low murder rate of 80.6 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Arlington, VA's high murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control.

Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are "just statistics."

The Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, both of which went into effect in 1994, are responsible for the decrease in violent crime rates, which have been declining since 1991.

We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.

The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.
An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you.

A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.

When confronted by violent criminals, you should "put up no defense — give them what they want, or run" (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don't Die - People Do, 1981, p. 125).

The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about guns; just like Guns and Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery.

One should consult an automotive engineer for safer seatbelts, a civil engineer for a better bridge, a surgeon for spinal paralysis, a computer programmer for Y2K problems, and Sarah Brady [or Sheena Duncan, Adele Kirsten, Peter Storey, etc.] for firearms expertise.

The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1791, refers to the National Guard, which was created by an act of Congress in 1903.

The National Guard, funded by the federal government, occupying property leased to the federal government, using weapons owned by the federal government, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a state militia.

These phrases," right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of the people to be secure in their homes," "enumeration's herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people," and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people," all refer to individuals, but "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" refers to the state.

We don't need guns against an oppressive government, because the Constitution has internal safeguards, but we should ban and seize all guns, thereby violating the 2nd, 4th, and 5th amendments to that Constitution.

Rifles and handguns aren't necessary to national defense, which is why the army has millions of them.

Private citizens shouldn't have handguns, because they serve no military purpose, and private citizens shouldn't have "assault rifles," because they are military weapons.

The ready availability of guns today, with waiting periods, background checks, fingerprinting, government forms, et cetera, is responsible for recent school shootings,compared to the lack of school shootings in the 40's, 50's and 60's, which resulted from the availability of guns at hardware stores, surplus stores, gas stations, variety stores, mail order, et cetera.

The NRA's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign about kids handling guns is propaganda, and the anti-gun lobby's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign is responsible social activity.

Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy.

A handgun, with up to 4 controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile that only has 20.

Women are just as intelligent and capable as men but a woman with a gun is "an accident waiting to happen" and gun makers' advertisements aimed at women are "preying on their fears."

Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.
Guns cause violence, which is why there are so many mass killings at gun shows.

A majority of the population supports gun control, just like a majority of the population supported owning slaves.

A self-loading small arm can legitimately be considered to be a "weapon of mass destruction" or an "assault weapon."

Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by because they can be trusted.

The right of online pornographers to exist cannot be questioned because it is constitutionally protected by the Bill of Rights, but the use of handguns for self defense is not really protected by the Bill of Rights.

Free speech entitles one to own newspapers, transmitters, computers, and typewriters, but self-defense only justifies bare hands.

The ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts of the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts of the Constitution.

Charlton Heston as president of the NRA is a shill who should be ignored, but Michael Douglas as a representative of Handgun Control, Inc. is an ambassador for peace who is entitled to an audience at the UN arms control summit.

Police operate with backup within groups, which is why they need larger capacity pistol magazines than do "civilians" who must face criminals alone and therefore need less ammunition.

We should ban "Saturday Night Specials" and other inexpensive guns because it's not fair that poor people have access to guns too.

Police officers, who qualify with their duty weapons once or twice a year, have some special Jedi-like mastery over handguns that private citizens can never hope to obtain.

Private citizens don't need a gun for self-protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection.

Citizens don't need to carry a gun for personal protection but police chiefs, who are desk-bound administrators who work in a building filled with cops, need a gun.

"Assault weapons" have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of people, which is why the police need them but "civilians" do not.

When Microsoft pressures its distributors to give Microsoft preferential promotion, that's bad; but when the Federal government pressures cities to buy guns only from Smith & Wesson, that's good.

Trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their duty weapon.

When Handgun Control, Inc., says they want to "keep guns out of the wrong hands," they don't mean you. Really.

Sharp Drop in Gun Crime Follows Tough Australian Firearm Laws

A British citizen is still 50 times less likely to be a victim of gun homicide than an American.....
also
...The Australian Bureau of Statistics counts all injury deaths, whether or not they are crime-related. The most recently available ABS figures show a total of 437 firearm-related deaths (homicide, suicide and unintentional) for 1997. This is the lowest number for 18 years.
The Australian rate of gun death per 100,000 population remains one-fifth that of the United States. ...

The initial premise on which the Neo-Conservatives were founded was that in order for the poplace to be easilly control. they must be kept in fear of the enemy within (gun carrying baddies, analogose to the bad guys in cowboy films and series - especially "Gunsmoke"
and the enemy outside, first communists and now muslims, I'm sure you can guess who I mean.

Anyone else think that Dantana is buying the Neo cons Lies, hook line and sinker.

Dan please, before you reply watch/read this.

This made me laugh...

The President, Condeleeza Rice and Dick Cheney are flying on Air Force One.

George looks at Condeleeza, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out the window right now and make somebody very happy."

Condeleeza shrugs her shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw ten $100 bills out the window and make 10 people very happy."

Cheney says, "Of course then, I could throw one-hundred $10 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy."

The pilot rolls his eyes, looks at all of them and says to his co-pilot, "Such bigshots back there . . .hell, I could throw all of them out the window and make 57.3 million people very happy."

ubblol at DFW...I grew up there. I know what it's like. Although I got lucky in that my parents opted to live in a really nice part of town (at least while I was growing up) so I got to miss all of that. There is no way I'd move up there now though. The good parts I remember have changed considerably. My father did/does own gun, but luckily has never had to use it.

anyways you know where irving blvd is?? by ellum??..the bad part of ellum.....

had to work there for all of october doing a gig at the festival/haunted house they had going....glad somebody understands....id prefer to not have to worry about guns and just use knives..most people wouldnt be able to stomach looking somebody in the eye as you kill them...BUT with some of the things that happened down there i wished mightily for a .45 or a machine pistol rather than my throwing knives....anyways..as i said..necessary evil
the guns realy arent the problem however...its the people who have them
this whole city is pissed off
