Support NeoGAF

[Stridone]

So, now it's about how many people said crazy would be able to kill with a gun vs. bat?

All while dancing around the initial question I posed?

Ok, I'm done.

I'm just saying that the pros (some rednecks having fun @ shooting animals? I don't know actually...) don't outweigh the cons (like the 33 deaths at Virginia Tech last year).

 

[Opiate]

You know I didn't.

He's being obnoxious, but please consider my position. As another example, calling "the economy" a single issue is like calling "social reform" a single issue, when social reform would actually be a composite of scores of major topics like abortion, civil rights, immigration policies, gun control, and so many others.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

TAKE ME SERIOUSLY

WHY SO SERIOUS?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

No don't, seriously don't - Any future abortion-related derailments of PoliGAF's election threads are going to be met with bans so dictatorial that even the anarchists will start crying for a mommy-state.

No doubt, he's typing the post up right now and won't see this warning, and thusly, the incoming ban hammer.:lol

Well, I'd love to respond, but I really can't now.

The economy is not a "single issue" as it affects many, MANY different aspects of life. It affects your monetary income, it affects whether you can afford healthcare, whether you get to keep your house, whether you get to put food on the table, and so forth.

Sweet potatoe pie? I mean come on, can we get some substance out of this guy, I mean really?

The there's this 300 page policy book he released last month, but im sure you can provide me where John McCain has been much more in depth than Obama!

Vennt for -- well, I don't actually know what.

But good for you!

Ah...now I see...

If that's you definition of who a registered gun owner is,I NOW understand your "position".

Stereotype much?

Finally.

 

[The Lamonster]

So are people who are voting on the issue of the economy "dumbass single-issue" voters?

Just curious as to what the criteria is.

It's "dumbshit." Get it right or pay the price!

 

[Stridone]

Ah...now I see...

Stereotype much?

I'm giving an example. You're pretty much completely avoiding the point. I'm dutch, so please educate me about all the positive sides of legal gun ownership.

 

[Cloudy]

WTF GA congressman says McCain stoking racism. McCain campaign wants Obama to apologize :lol

Can we play The Price is Right so I can guess the price?

Shooting shit is fun. Target shooting is fun. Please tell me all the positive sides of legal tobacco or Bacardi 151.

 

[soul creator]

The economy is not a "single issue" as it affects many, MANY different aspects of life. It affects your monetary income, it affects whether you can afford healthcare, whether you get to keep your house, whether you get to put food on the table, and so forth.

and if people have good health care, cheap access to birth control, good jobs, good education, etc., they're probably less likely to do that other thing which shall not be named...

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Ok, well, most people I know shoot for hobby/sport.

But some have for home defense.

Others for hunting.

The point is, everyone's motivation for gun owning is different, and greater than 99.9% don't involve plans to shoot up a school.

They're fun for some and aren't really harmful to other people.

Oh that's right. You're too young to remember Salute Your Shorts!

 

[Superman00]

The needs of the many do not outweigh the rights of the few.

Anyone finds the irony in this?

 

[syllogism]

WTF GA congressman says McCain stoking racism. McCain campaign wants Obama to apologize :lol

They want Obama to apologize for Rep. Lewis? I've hard time believing this

 

[Saint Gregory]

WTF GA congressman says McCain stoking racism. McCain campaign wants Obama to apologize :lol

It seems that since the McCain campaign's attempts to get Obama to fall into their "angry black man" trap has failed they're now turning their attention towards making his supporters angry. That way when we turn into a frothing mob screaming for his blood they can point and say "See, they're a bunch of crazy idiots too!!!"

 

[The Librarian]

Oh that's right. You're too young to remember Salute Your Shorts!

Pfffffft.

 

[Cyan]

No don't, seriously don't

Oh good.

 

[The Lamonster]

Pfffffft.

And the price is an Awful Waffle.

 

[n1n9tean]

this is the economy, dude.

They can still shoot for hobby at a shooting range. For home defense, you don't need a gun. Still, if you think these things are more important than the lives of random college students and such, that's your choice. I'm personally glad to live in a mostly gun-free country.

 

[reilo]

Such lies.

 

[EMBee99]

Unless you're a woman, you shouldn't have a damn thing to say about abortion.

[Shiggie]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE??

 

[Xeke]

I believe there are more alcohol related deaths and deaths by innocents in traffic accidents than gun deaths in the USA. Easily.

We should probably re institute Prohibition.

Well, I just gave $100 to Martin, $50 to Franken, and $25 to a couple house races. Felt damn good to. Probably will be more where that came from, this is crunch time baby.

John McCain rally in Iowa marked by partisan prayer

Rev. Arnold Conrad, in delivering an invocation at a rally today for John McCain in Davenport, Iowa, apparently didn't get the word from the candidate about elevating the tone at such gatherings.

Conrad, who appeared before the crowd before McCain had arrived, offered a prayer that seemed to urge divine intervention to prevent Barack Obama from winning the presidential election -- and cast the outcome as a referendum on differing religions.

The Times' Maeve Reston was at the event, and she passed along the key passage from Conrad's words:

I would also pray Lord that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their God -- whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah -- that his [McCain’s] opponent wins for a variety of reasons.

And Lord I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you would step forward and honor your own name in all that happens between now and Election Day.

Oh Lord, we just commit this time to you, move among us, make your presence very well felt as we are gathered here today in Jesus's name I pray.

Some in the crowd greeted the prayer with applause.

Unreal :lol
