SkydiverRick

you crack me up. How is that in any way relevant or close to comparing apples to apples? It's apples to apples to me. Just because someone doesn't see the value in owning guns they want to take them away. I know lots of people that would deprive us of skydiving for the same reason. The second ammendment doesn't differenciate between want and need as far as I can tell. never pull low......unless you are

Need and want are two different things. People want guns, they don't need them. [/early morning rant] People want parachutes, they don't need them. never pull low......unless you are

The guns didn't shoot anyone. Some whacked out kids did. Imagine if they only had rocks and sticks to throw... oh, the humanity.. We could save more lives than were lost that day, by taking away everyones right to skydive. Imagine how many lives could be saved if we took away automobiles.... thousands of lives a year... oh, the humanity. never pull low......unless you are

The settlements back up Gravitymaster's statement. never pull low......unless you are

Yup, got myself 6 jumps on Sunday, most I've ever done in a day. Time to downsize again. never pull low......unless you are

And PLEASE don't quote the 2nd amendment. We wouldn't want the constitution getting in the way. never pull low......unless you are

School shootings, as a recent epidemic, are done by... wait for it.... GUNS!!! The guns didn't shoot anyone. Some whacked out kids did. never pull low......unless you are

Dammit. I want some ketchup. Unless you specifically ask for it in the drive through, you don't get it.? That's funny. I don't use ketchup, so I always get pissed when they throw it on top of my fries. never pull low......unless you are

Your ability to grasp complex issues seems to be quite similar to GWB's. Thank you. never pull low......unless you are

Try to focus on the issue at hand. Do you mean America bashing? never pull low......unless you are

But they could be using those knives to butter their bread Bill, come on, don't hate the tool man I always carry a knife. I use it everyday even though I've never stabbed anybody with it. never pull low......unless you are

Has someone said that's what they have done? I haven't heard of any charges being brought against them other than that they were "enemy combatants". They're on double secret probation. never pull low......unless you are

That violates the US constitution, which is more important than your opinion. You never use this argument when you're in the gun threads. In fact you advocate breaking laws that you don't agree with don't you? never pull low......unless you are

I don't support this, nor do I believe that a majority of Americans. Without taking me back to the crusades, maybe you can name some rapists that America backs. never pull low......unless you are

No double standard. Rapists, no matter who, should be punished to the full extent of the law. What law applies to American Soldiers in Iraq? Your asking the wrong person, but I believe that the military has their own legal system. never pull low......unless you are

Wear whatever you like. never pull low......unless you are

Yes, but he's for it, too. There's two side to every story and Kerry's for them both. Or against, depending on his audience. (This is usually where Kallend pulls out his Bush bashing list.) never pull low......unless you are

It's only misdirection when you want to adhere to a double standard. No double standard. Rapists, no matter who, should be punished to the full extent of the law. never pull low......unless you are

Are you saying that Kerry is against the law? never pull low......unless you are

The real reason, and we all know it, that guns were invented was to deliver a projectile into a body (whether an animal or a man). I think that only a small fraction of firearms are used for that. I've owned over a dozen rifles that I never fired. never pull low......unless you are

Besides, your gun couldn't save your life unless it could kill, maim, or in some other way incapacitate. Without those capabilities it's just a paperweight, although those have been used to kill in the past too. What about the power to intimidate an attacker? never pull low......unless you are

Misdirection, the cornerstone of liberal argument. You're still flaming Kev. never pull low......unless you are

No, but when his lips move I know not to trust what he says. What did you think of his doubletalk on veterans' benefits? I'm going to vote for him. Even if I don't agree with everything that he says, he won't change his mind in 10 minutes like your man Kerry. never pull low......unless you are

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,...." They lost those rights when they became murderous thugs. never pull low......unless you are

I wonder how much support the Bush administration would have had if it made a statement like: We think they may have WMDs but we are not quite sure. The UN has asked for a couple of more moths to givea final answer to this quesiton. That however is not good enough for us, we are going to invade Iraq to satisfy our hunch. Saddam had 12 years to comply. He bluffed until he ran out of time. If we didn't go into Iraq, SH would still be raping and torturing his fellow human beings. I don't care if Bush was wrong about WMD's, the world is a better place without Saddam in power. never pull low......unless you are
