We need to be more productive!!! We need to move ahead on hydrogen, and solar; we need Joss to make more FF movies; we need to invent more cool stuff that the world can't do without!! We need to educate kids, not send 'em to foreign lands to secure a diminishing staple of energy!!! We need new, clean sources of energy!! We need more spacelabs!! We need less Cheneys and Bushs!! We need more Buffy comics!!Why the F**K isn't this gorram world on track??? I like to blow s**t up like the rest of us, but we need to begin thinking as ONE world here, before it becomes the world-that-was....or Earth-that-usta-be, you know???? NeoCons frak yourselves!!!
OH, I'M OUTTA CONTROL HERE!!!
WAAAAAAAY OUTA CONTROL!!!!!

Oh. Fresh fudge....

Good to know that you're no longer planning to incinerate public property, but murder--eek. Can't we just publicly humiliate him and then give him 40 lashes with a wet noodle? Maybe try him? The whole let's kill him thing freaks me out a bit.

One last thing, gun are designed to kill people, quickly and cheaply. If all all of you ever want to do with 'all of your firearms' is harras innocent paper targets, why are you not just using straws and paper blobs - much less contorversial.

guns are meant to kill things. I won't disagree to that. Swords are, too. Some people have collections of swords

That said, in what sense can paper be considered "innocent"? That implies that it could also be considered "blameworthy". I'm not sure those concepts are applicable to paper targets.

i can't say i hate him hate him - you'd have to give me time to get to know him for that. but i know that i hate his policies on a lot of subjects, i hate the way that when it comes to crunch time, he can't seem to find his arse with two hands an a map, I hate the way he and Bliar* have this mutual butt kissing thing going on, and especially hate the way he's nominally the most powerful man in the western world.

but there you go.

yes, i cant say i entirely get that either - infact i stopped posting on the picture threads because of the pictures of people kissing and slurping at their knife collections.

See, weapons are like codpieces** - they exist in real life, and they are there for everyone to see, often signposting their presence with sequins and bells (the er, codpieces) and you have get used to it. And then they turn up in movies and stuff and they are a prop or a costume, so they are there, and someone put a lot of effort into making them and they often can truly be called a work of art. but why would you want one in your home? i mean - they're not necessary, they have no use apart from dust support, they're dangerous around dogs and small children and quite frankly the way some people behave they're a bit kinky.


But then maybe its just my hatred of ornaments coming through on the knife (and the codpiece) thing. safely, of course, and never to harm anyone.

As for respecting your right to choose - of course i do - same as i don't tell someone not to drink or smoke. Doesn't mean i'm going to sit next to them on the bus if i can possibly help it, but they have brain of their own, i ain't got no say in it.

i think i meant innocent as in 'what'd they ever do to you?'

Poor little paper people, lifes all quiet sitting in their stack, then someone shoots them full of holes....


*that wasn't a mistype
** no, seriously - god peices seriously freak me out - any number of bizarre iron corsets, froufy collars and variationa on farthingales i can take - i can even gaze upon images of gimp masks undisturbed (not that i try too) but cod peices are just.. they're overt and sinistar and largely ridiculous.
