[quote name="Mischief Maker"][quote name="Zseni"]You and Whorebach are both HORRIBLE at summing up my arguments, because you keep trying to make me say guns = freedom, when instead I'm saying {stuff that organizes American politics and law} + {human nature} = {particular social order}, and a subset of this particular social order is gun ownership and gun owners. You can't grasp this point any more than you can tell me what you'll do with the labia-snippers.[/quote] So... if I get this straight, you're saying America is a big cultural melting pot, armed nutjobs are part of that melting pot, and any attempt to keep guns out of the hands of deeply disturbed english majors would be <A HREF="http://www.seanbaby.com/news/lawsuits3.htm" TARGET="new">insensitive</A>, right? [quote]Because: in order to stay on your respective Disneyland tracks, you have to marginalize or erase the labia-snippers - and with them, you will also have to annihilate all the other divisive and potentially violent or violence-causing elements of the human race: fundamentalists of all stripes, rabid nationalists, rabid national socialists, politicians (!), gender differences (!!!)[/quote] Ha! You don't need guns to keep women in line. [quote], etc. Then also, in general, everything that has ever caused a person to physically hurt another person, including, from every individual human mind, the elements of ambition, prejudice, lust, greed, and sadism. Then we must remove those elements which cause people to seek dominance over others: status anxiety, psychological illness - the definitions of which must be revised and expanded considerably, hunger, thirst, you know, just a few tidbits here or there, a few evolutionary burps that we will all be much better off without. In order to save humanity, you have to purify it![/quote] It's rough, not owning a gun. The other day I was walking down the street and I saw a mormon. Our eyes locked. A momentary glance at each other was all we needed to know we did not have the same spiritual views. He made the first move, leaping at me with his lips pulled back and teeth bared to the gums. I punched him in the stomach and reached for his throat, but before I could catch him he dodged to the side and sunk his teeth into my shoulder. I screamed in rage and threw my weight back and we both crashed to the ground. He began scratching and tearing at my face, and I kicked and spit to keep him from ripping out my eyes. Then I spotted his bible, just within reach. I grabbed it and threw it into traffic. The momentary distraction gave me time enough to turn the tables, and I began smashing his skull into the pavement. By the third time he was unconscious. And for a moment it occured to me that it didn't have to be like this. If we owned guns, we could have just passed each other on the street and tolerated our differences, every day wouldn't have to be a life or death struggle with everyone who didn't share my worldview. But I wasn't willing to go so far as to buy a gun, so I smashed his skull one final time against the pavement and splattered his brans. That was nothing compared to the naderite I ran into on the next block. In my disarmed world, the bloodshed could never end until the purification was complete. [quote]People really can Just Get Along and you've laughed at me so hard that I now realize my place in the Just Getting Along scheme of things: at the bottom, or dead, along with all the other scary freaks.[/quote] Is this your way of saying we'll only get your guns if we pry them from your cold dead hands? [quote]The world will, once people like me are done away with, erupt into a mutual and all-encompassing trust and love - a trust and love neither of you have managed to extend to me for even as short a time as we've spent in this argument. Rather than summoning up any understanding, or even one mote of that universal compassion with which you assume every shore of the future will be washed, you've spent this whole time demonizing me and stamping Wingnut Grade 1 on my forehead.[/quote] Well <I>yeah</I>. [quote]Yes, imposing peace and long life on people is fascism. Mandatory transhumanism is fascism. You two are just the fascists to do it! Personally I would rather snip off my labia and eat the last bullet ever fired.[/quote] Oh shit! She's knows our plot! Once the last of the guns are confiscated, there will be nothing to stop our attack-lobsters, to say nothing of our dynamite-toting owls![/quote]
