I disagree. Yes, I think we need to campaign for concealed carry and open carry laws in each state for every man, woman and child. But we then need to get all of the violent criminals out of prison (violent criminals don't go jail, they go to prison), where every gun-toting citizen can participate in extra-judicial…

Re point 1: you have to understand, cats are assholes, even when they're in a good mood.

"Don't make me....Don't make me...."

Which do you prefer: The Office (USA) or The Office (UK)?

Miss Sixteen: NASA diaper lady.

That happened to me last night! So I backed off. Stuck my hand out to the side, and like magic he gets up and head boops my hand. I'm a bird guy by nature, learning to love my ladyfriend's cats.

I tried to indicate a subtle difference between a floppy tail and a flickering tail. It's all about context, the tail communicates different things in different situations. It's an art more than a science.

"This cheetah looks like its mind is focused on something in the distance which grabbed its attention, while its tail's mind seems to be content, not really flickering." -hilikusopus

Best resignation letter ever, Sam!

You are correct! A cat's flicking tail is a good sign that you've making it uncomfortable, and unless you cease and desist, it will make its thoughts known in a much more obvious and unpleasant way. If its a well socialized cat, it will just bat you with its paw or fake bite you to make its point; but push it, and the…

And the mayor of London.

Do you think that there's nothing we can do to significantly reduce gun-related crime? That the high rate of gun-related crime in the US is an acceptable "cost of doing business"? (Those are honest non-judgmental questions.)

You're getting bogged down in analogy. Either you believe in unrestricted access to guns (which it appears you do), or you believe in restricted access to guns (which I do). Reasonable minds can disagree as to the nature or extent of those restrictions, but you're batshit crazy if you think I'm going to be okay with…

If I started talking about what is and is not an appropriate way to weaponize a nation's citizenry, I would be talking from an uneducated position. I've got a hatchet by the bed, but that's about it. I can only speak to what I perceive as the good sense of dailylama's argument and the weakness of ivan's rebuttal.

Gun ownership is equivalent to having sex. Certain kinds of sex are legal, and it sometimes depends on where you live — sodomy, cousins, animals, whatever, those statutes vary state-by-state. As is the case with sex and rape, some kinds of gun ownership are illegal.

I love this show - some of the best writing and characters on TV - I just love the Aztek, too.

Good point! Can't wait to find out what has him on the run and possibly knocked down a peg or two. My girlfriend pointed out, though, that because they've decided to split this final season into two separate halves of eight episodes, we don't know whether that was a glimpse into the final episode of this season's…

You can make him the most antagonistic boring character television has ever seen, but that's bad writing.

Without reading into it too much (I really do think the car montage was primarily motivated by product placement at the expense of consistency or good writing), I liked the comic relief of seeing a man breaking bad in a Pontiac Aztek.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I see his character arc differently. I'd be disappointed if they made Walt so one-dimensional, made him break so bad that he's no longer a sympathetic character. Maybe that's what the writers have planned, and maybe that's why I was a little unsure of where they could take this final…
