OMG, GD is a mess this afternoon.
:scared:

Multiple gun battles are being fought over gun rights vs. gun control. Just stay away!

1. Oh, I thought the flower war was still going on.
At least it's something somewhat politically reasonable.

2. I just got insulted for removing a duplicate post
the person said that I removed it because I didnt have a heart.
It was re: tony snow having a growth in his gut.

Holy shit they need a drink over there

3. I now stay out of the gun threads
There is no way to have a civil discussion, no matter what side (or middle) you're on.

:scared: is right!

5. I'm beginning to think you're right
I'm beginning to think you're right. I've no dog in the gun-hunt-- I'm at best neutral on it, at worst apathetic about it. But offer a suggestion or two to help someone frame their argument in a manner more conducive to conversation and debate, and the implication is that I'm either a gun-loving fascist or a gun-hating communist.

I should have known better. Guns, religion and abortion are topics I simply need to stay away from around here. Now, about that whole breast-feeing in the Olive Garden thing...

4. Thanks for the warning
I think gun threads may be worse than abortion threads. And even Olive Garden threads. :scared:

6. No problem.
There is no middle ground in those. Sometimes you don't even know it's a gun thread when you go in, and you are just assaulted by the posts (both pro and con).

19. no, we need more of these
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

21. Not just the gun battles but the "Nekkid Lady Magazine Cover" battle.
I moseyed over for a look and almost was lulled into posting. But thought better of it in the end. I don't like to get singed.

29. Woohoo, bang bang.
Edited on Fri Mar-23-07 02:42 PM by Jamastiene
:woohoo: duck, duck.

Haven't been there yet, but if it's a gun battle, I believe I would be out weapon-ed. I think it was my mother who told me never to take a knife to a gun battle. I still haven't got a gun, so my piddly little knife wouldn't be much protection. I hear they fire blazing fire bullets over in GD. I have gotten burned over there a lot, but cannot say for certain if there were bullets involved, because they wizzed past me so fast. Whew! Thanks for the warning.

30. They kicked it into the Gun Forum.
So you are safe in that respect. Of course now there are the thread about the "traitors" who did not vote for the resolution.
