[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] It's not a "right to kill." We're not a nation of 600 million (or whatever) double-oh duty agents. It's a right that came about becasue at the time, it was an important issue. The British relieved colonist of their weapons, thus not only making it difficult for them to revolt but also relieving many of them of their right to EAT. The NRA & the gun lobbyists are right on certain things: guns don't kill people, people kill people. Guns merely make it easier, thus shortening the thought-to-action process by removing the difficulties involved. Ironically, this is known as the "Reagan effect," after the former president's ability to go directly from subconscious thought to speech, circumventing the step of conscious reviewal. The key is responsibilities, & not just on guns; this is a universal constant now. There is no such thing as "personal responsibility" in this nation anymore. Get burnrd because the coffee was hot? Sue the company. Never might that you're a fuckin' clumsy oaf, you get $25 million. Your donut-monster fat ass can't fit into the movie seats? Don't think about a diet, Shamu, just sue for discrimination & make the rest of us pay for your laziness via rising costs. Almost die because you decided to eat suet made for birds? You're not an incompetent fuck, you're a victim. Sue the company for not printing "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION" on it! Never MIND that it said right on there that it was 35% crude fat, 25% crude protein, 35% crude fiber, & 5% seed. A friend of mine said he was tired of "hearing all these fucks whine about Microsoft. 'I WANT SOME OF THAT GUY'S MONEY!!' And they'll get it, too." People in this nation today seem to think that HAVING the right means that we'll lose it unless we exercise it, & exercise it CONSTANTLY. This might be true for some--freedom of expression, right to a swift & fair trial, defense against self-incrimination--but others it is. [/QB][/QUOTE]
