    Well I have a few unmentionables. but I probably wouldnt shoot at a burglar ,, I have a dog, and from outside it looks like Rob Zombie lives here.. if someone want to be 1001, Im fine with that..:devil:
    I have a license to carry a firearm, even after I was in a fight fight with police inside their own courthouse ,. my gun is probably the last thing Ill have to use on anyone.. :), I prefer stun weapons, gas .. non lethal stuff, im not one for taking peoples lives.. I did enough of that shit in the military to people I really have no grudge against..

    I would crawl out the window and run like hell, if that was an option.

    Interesting...I have no real knowledge of that stuff.

    It's better to aim low, if you can.

    Run from your own house? Unless they had a gun, and I didn't.... and unless they where obviously about to shoot me, instead of threaten to....

    You should read "kill or get killed". It's a LEO/military training book, published with info used to train for wwII, augmented with corrections learned from it's application in the war. Goes over everything from unarmed combat, to knives and guns, to disarming someone with a gun with little chance of being shot. if you google it, it's easy to find it as a PDF. It's always good to be able to defend yourself, as well as know what cops are trained to do to you.

    "get a glock if you treat your gun like you treat your lawnmower"-some guy

    Real men carry desert eagles in .50 anyway. the point's not actually being able to shoot it more than once without breaking your wrist, but feeling and looking like an utter badass :afro:

    Apparently the guy took mushrooms as well. That'll be the next thing to blame.

    The guy who did this IS a terrorist. One doesn't have to wear a turban and read the Quran to be a terrorist. One could wear a baseball cap and read the Bible and also be a terrorist.

    People always automatically associate terrorism with Muslims and turbans and the Quran. You know how insulting that is to the Islamic people?

    It would be like always associating gun violence in the west with Christianity just because it's the major religion over here.


    Terrorism has nothing to do with Islam.

    There are many who would kill over this image, and not EVEN because of the text, which they would wholeheartedly defend.

    Terrorism is encouraged by more strict, "my morals, your throat" religions, like those that threaten to kill thousands when you draw their prophet and put it on television. On the other hand, you can draw jeebus all you want. I don't like christianity, but it's a lesser evil, if you actually study the religions.

    (and the sects that have NO imagery in christianity still won't blow you up if you DO have imagery)

    Imagine if the taliban just stood around with "allah hates fags" signs, and wrote their ideas on "allahhatesfags.com"...

    1) There are no degrees of evil, there is just evil

    2) If you actually study the religions you'll see that Islam is not the Taliban

    3) I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here, that's what some christians do;

    Every religion has its positive and its negative aspects, I'm not going to get into that. All I'm saying is that Islam is not a terrorist organization, it is a religion, like any other, with good and bad aspects.

    However every time "turban," "quran," "Islam," etc. are mentioned, the word "terrorist/terrorism," usually follows. The west now automatically associates the two when they are not in fact the same thing.

    I don't care how evil you think it is, the fact is that it is a religion, not a terrorist organization. The fact that you think it is evil and you don't agree with their beliefs and morals (or lack thereof) does not make it so.

    It is a religion, which demands that those who believe it take over any other system of law and replace it with sharia, and kill infidels. Islam was spread by the sword and mass rape.

    Religions can be inherently evil. Just because it's a religion doesn't mean it's acceptable. Islam can be "practiced" by a small population without too many problems, but when there are sufficent numbers of truly devout muslims, the country they are in will fall to sharia and 7th century tribalism, because that is the belief of islam.

    The westboro baptist church thinks god hates fags and is damning us all to hell, and they're content to hold signs that tell us so. The taliban thinks allah hates fags and must beat women without head coverings with chains and blow up infidels. I didn't say the taliban represents islam, any more than the westboro baptist church represents christianity. Each only represents the truest believers in their faith.

    The taliban are what grew out of an islamic country abandoned to it's own devices, after the soviets where thrown out and the country was just too blatantly militantly islamic for anyone else to fuck with. They are penultimate islam.

    That isn't true in my opinion. The Westboro Baptist church does not represent the "truest" Christians. It represents some Christians. Given that faith and religion are both man made, there are not varying degrees of faith or belief, just different beliefs period. Can you really say that those who attend the Westboro Baptist church are really "more true" Christians than ones who attend the church up the street? You could, but it would be ignorant to do so.

    There are certainly a vast amount of muslims who support violence, no one can deny that. But there is also a vast amount of human beings who display acts of violence period.

    I'm not going to get into people's beliefs, religious acts, history, etc. All my original point was is that it is ignorant and insulting to always tie the Quran, muslims, Islam to the taliban/terrorism, etc. They are two different things yet they (at least here in the west) always seem to come up in the same sentence/paragraph.

    One is a religion, the other is a terrorist organization.

    That terrorist organization is only preforming the mandate of their religion.

    I didn't say all muslims are terrorists, that would be silly, there are plenty who are just fine.

    But islam is still an evil religion, even if there are ok muslims. Christianity is evil, and there are christians who are just fine. But what I said about islam stands.

    wa bluska wica, while I do support personal responsibility, that letter is epic. It's all true, but just the same, you can't charge people for saying what they think, that's what free speech is. Generally however, mass media has had the good manners and general brains to leave that kind of crazy shit to the corner preachers. We need it this way again. Maybe O'Riley can have the corner accross from me :D

    But the campus cop recognized his full torso reflection in the glass of the building.
