God, I'd hate to be this guy right now. Coming from a rather violent country myself, I can't see why people don't leave guns to the police and gun clubs: We're fallible creatures, this is the sort of thing you should leave to professionals... |
I guess he retired a human by mistake after all. |

| What's the big deal? He was just "retiring" a replicant. |

I don't think we can even judge him before we walk a mile in his shoes. |

When I use my phone I post without reading the thread. Can too much of a good joke be a bad thing? |

| Yes, guns should be left to professional killers. Wear a uniform and shooting becomes an art form. All roads lead to Hitler. |

He's a handsome man and young to boot. His girlfriend is pretty and younge enough to keep a man with messed up legs satisfied (I know I'm going get flamed for that).
He just ran in the olympics in 2012, that should be a big accomplishment for him and thus make him feel good.
I'm not saying he didn't do it but I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact he did it.
I know money and looks aren't everything but if he did do it, maybe its she wasn't accepting a 3some for Valentimes day. I can't speak to much on the other domestic calls that were made to the house, everyone fights and some woman are dramtic,unless he hit numerous occasions, then that would be something to investigate futher.
I haven't kept up with the story. Is she still alive?

If guns could stop Hitler, even Poland would've stopped him ;)

I do. Really, I'm not even being satirical or anything. I don't think I'd ever defend someone's right to do something just because they're free (that is, take freedom as an a priori right). Rather, I defend freedom insofar as it doesn't hurt anyone who is not a willing participant - and, if the chances of an innocent getting hurt are high, there should be limits.
Gun advocates usually compare guns to cars, for whatever reason. Cars, they say, cause more deaths than weapons of any kind, except maybe in wars. I don't take this to be an argument for guns, but an argument against reckless driving. There's a reason why radars, speed limits, safety belts, and traffic lights (don't they keep you from going wherever you want whenever you do?) are great: it's because they reduce the risks of something going wrong at speeds evolution didn't prepare us for. The number of car related deaths in Brasí plummeted after they installed dozens of radars, severely limiting the freedom of drivers (many of whom still whine about it), but driving is a lot safer now.
Unlike cars, which are quite useful in daily life, guns are made for emergencies - and without proper training (sometimes even with it), people tend to do stupid things. So, the less, the better. |
