WTF?

Get a grip, for fucks sake! Or is it a little hard to recognise a measured argument?

I just find it amusing that everybody complains about the US "meddling" and then proceed to tell us how to wheel the bin to the curb.

How dare people express their opinion on things! Let's just all agree that everyone has their own opinions and that these should neither be expressed nor challenged......

It's even funnier when the people telling what to do at home get mad when we politely ask them to fuck off and get their own house in order.

There are days when I'm rather pleased that I made it to the curb and back into the house. But I always take my cell phone with me.

I just dropped in to make sure everyone was doing the same thing as they have in every other thread on this topic and expecting different results. Carry on.

I like guns. I also like shooting guns, but not at people or animals.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

My grip is right on the button.

You claimed this was a fact finding thread.
Many people made arguments back and forth.

Many people criticised merkins for their gun culture, with no interest in fact finding at all, simply "tell me what your reasons are, and I will criticise them'

Eventually one of them reacts with the justifiably straightforward viewpoint ‘if you don’t like what we do, fuck off’

And you criticise her for it. I called you for your hypocrisy. Where exactly have I lost my grip?
Which bit of my thread analysis is incorrect?
Nowhere did you tell the gun-lobby critics that this was a ‘fact-finding’ thread and to stop the criticism.

Or was this not a ‘fact-finding’ thread?

If you want to bash the Americans be my get guest. But it sticks in my craw when you decry one of them for reacting to the relentless criticism.

Go play whac-a-mole if you want stress relief.

That's fine if it stays like that. But it doesn't.

I'm sure George Zimmerman would have said much the same, the day before he killed that kid.
