This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: CthyI dont think your 2nd amendment is evil, just stupid. You should, however, have the right to arm bears. That should be international law.

Not only bears, but all wildlife.  I think it would definately make hunting more of a "sport" than it is now ;)

The very idea that arming the animals would put people and prey on a more level playing field is EXACTLY why the private ownership of guns is important.

Guns make everybody dangerous.

I think, under certain conditions, that's a good thing.

Cthy

Gun ownership is good. Y'know, just incase that zombie uprising happens just as predicted.

Or your government decides that police cameras are also needed in your home not just everywhere else.

Besides, didn't this very forum have a thread about the very best anti zombie weapon. Wasn't it the crowbar?

No. He completely changed his political affiliation in the 70s or early 80s.

I don't see why everyone is so focused on his involvement with the NRA when he sat on the advisory board of Accuracy in Media. If anything highlights his fucking disgusting politics, it's that.

Koltar

Yeah...and again people are getting too hung up on one issue.
 Look at the totality of the man's life and his career.

So what's so awful about AIM that's not true of, say, it's left-wing counterpart FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting)?

Quote from: Acta Est FabulaUnless you are, of course saying that advocating private gun ownership is the evil equivalent of fighting for equal rights

As several pamphlets and essays that aren't too difficult to find online, there were no shortage of gun control laws in the Jim Crow South designed to prevent blacks from being able to defend themselves against white mobs and that, in a nutshell, is why I support gun ownership rights regardless of the second amendment.  The right to self-defense is one of the most fundamental rights and a gun allows an individual to stand up to a mob.  Otherwise, mob rules.

Ah yes, that must be why we English are continually being overrun by mobs. Damned pesky things, always where you least expect 'em.  ;)

What the hell does FAIR have to do with anything?

I could explain it to you, but that would require opening a dialog with you, and in 22 posts I can already see I don't really want to bother...
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

I hate it when you are out shopping and all of a sudden a mob appears and ruins your day. Its just not cricket!

AIM and FAIR are two sides of the same coin.  Is there something other than their partisanship that makes you call AIM "disgusting"?
