The knife is poorly designed as a tool yes... there is nothing to prevent your hand from slipping up on the blade.

I would not go so far as to call them garbage... they have a certain spartan design that I like. I am not in love with the design, but I do find it visually interesting.

Basically, what he ^^ is saying is... if you stop letting them hurt you, by choosing not to be hurt/offended by the actions... you take away their power.

HAHA! Well, if you would like to discuss firearms, feel free.

Its the internet... everyone is right. :-P

Emotion really has no place in discussion.

Less lethal methods are good... but they are not always effective, they frequently fail, and have severe limitations. Do a little research then you would know that...

Its obvious that you do not care about opposing views either...

You again?

Using the rant tag is appreciated.

Different drilling system I think... This seems like a quicker but riskier way. They are taking a lot of precautions, but I would bet there is still a small risk.

Well... that is nothing but insult... not even an attempt to counter point.

There have been many losses and gains in the US regarding rights... Recording the police is becoming recognized as a right, I am not sure of the National Guard, but as a Marine... I was not allowed to take action against US citizens, unless in duty to protect unlawful entry... Maybe its changed.

Oh... a friend of mine recently gave me a list of countries within the last 100 years, where gun control was shortly followed by mass human rights violations. (as in, things that would be considered war crimes... massive round ups and subsequent executions)

Its a difficult subject to broach, but I explained why I feel a person has the right to defend themselves from harm... No person should be required to take abuses from another. A woman has the right to fight off a rapist. A man has the right to defend himself from a violent attack.

You have some good points, but many that I think are flawed in reasoning... I am leaving soon and so not have the time at this moment to discuss them further. I will be back later, and will then.

Arrogant? I never once called you or anyone anti-american. I acknowledged your right to opinion, I just merely explained that your opinion doesn't carry weight as far as the law is concerned in the US. If you was a citizen then it would. Having opinions is not anti-american

So you know... I do understand your side of the issue, and its implications.

Any reasonable argument you can make, I can counter reasonably as well. I try to limit tangents, but it happens. You are not required to argue them, only the main point matters. I also do not like the thinly veiled insults and Ad Hominem attacks... its simply deflecting the debate away from the main points.

That cuts both ways you know... you are so sure you are right and I am wrong...
