The aim was not to scare anyone. It was to show that violence is not controllable. Tom Send a noteboard - 15/06/2017 04:24:12 AM

If I arm, my enemies are likely to arm, and when we stop using the ballot box, debates and lawsuits to resolve disputes then social order breaks down and the end result is something few can predict and few would likely be happy with.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I think the gunman has more in common with people who beat their wives than Bernie Sanders Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:08:54 PM 805 Views
Do we know conclusively Bernie doesn't beat his wife? *NM* Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:54 AM 534 Views
There are valid points, but rather a lot of bullshit inbetween for my taste. Legolas - 14/06/2017 07:07:10 PM 1068 Views
Obviously excessive hyperbole is a problem from both sides damookster - 14/06/2017 07:20:59 PM 909 Views
Sure, I will admit that. Legolas - 14/06/2017 07:23:24 PM 859 Views
No Derek Hunter is not all knowing, he repeats the same schtick and eventually it may come true. *NM* Roland00 - 14/06/2017 08:59:14 PM 526 Views

I don't, or at least not in an American context, but I agree about the dead horse. Legolas - 14/06/2017 09:32:23 PM 936 Views
That's not correct. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:19:06 AM 931 Views
I agree with Tom's premise, if not the content. nossy - 15/06/2017 09:46:57 AM 890 Views
I really should post more. We're letting Tom and Cannoli get away with far too much. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/06/2017 10:12:53 AM 481 Views

It's because they have begun to eat themselves. The Shrike - 15/06/2017 02:14:23 PM 847 Views

Isn't that a good characterization of much of the Left? Tom - 15/06/2017 04:09:10 PM 799 Views
Maybe? A large section of the academic left, anyway aerocontrols - 15/06/2017 05:17:14 PM 764 Views

It's only nuts if you see the left as a single group that can be led and controlled. Legolas - 15/06/2017 09:04:05 PM 791 Views

It's used by progressives whenever someone disagrees with them. Ghavrel - 16/06/2017 11:24:03 PM 922 Views
So let me come at this from a different angle Roland00 - 17/06/2017 04:48:37 AM 848 Views
I hope this doesn't offend, but you sound like you're talking to a child. nossy - 17/06/2017 09:55:40 AM 771 Views
