I don't think your average citizen is a psychopath I just don't trust the average citizen with such life changing responsibility. Living in Britain where crime isn't rampant is enough of a reason for me to believe the US would be no different without guns in households.

You're treating the average citizen like they're idiots about to snap. Yes, people abuse powers given to them, you can't get around that, but the numbers speak for themselves. 30,000 gun deaths a year. 16,000 of those are suicides. Another thousand is merely by accidents (and people can kill themselves accidentally in extraordinary ways, you don't need a gun to do it.) An average citizen merely wants to be safe and happy. It is the UN-average citizen that commits crime. Why would you not trust an average citizen with the power to defend themselves?

Britain does not have a lower crime rate than the US. Proportionally, it has the same amount of crime, if you adjust for population size. Overally, crime has been on the rise since 2004, since the economy started going sour.

They are but...it's always a good read nonetheless, especially if I keep nodding my head in agreement. =P

Merry Christmas, Tom. Really enjoy reading through your posts.

Aww let me get you an e-walker because you've been debating for so long your youth days of doing it are long behind you!

I just don't like people shoving insults and their mindless psychobabble down your throat

I'm done. Some people insult my intelligence on here

You are so fortunate to have a calm demeanor with people.

I'm sorry about last night...I figured I'd catch you at a better time Were you duel-screening with your bro

But to make up for it, I have this for you:

I've been on my best behavior, I swear

Naa I was around for the Santa's Sack game. My e-presents were 300gil, a trip to the slammer, and a blue username color

Are you still considering moving to Brazil

I was in FFF's prison last night

Exactly.

I guess it makes it easier to downplay things when they can look down at people for being unknowledgable and a bit backwards in thinking because we don't instantly support some of the wrongdoings in the world today...when it obviously isn't just us...we are only 20% of the voting population

Our pastor said a creepy statistic a few months ago during his sermon. He said 20 years ago, 80% of the population went to church every Sunday and now it's down to 20% today. I can totally believe it. I'm not upset about being the minority nowadays, it just makes me really sad that the world has gotten so uber liberal with everything nowadays that they look down on us with such disdain.

That thread Thanks for fighting the good fight, Tom.

fancy some blops?

If you see mw1 on amazon for cheap get it and give it a bash. You only get 3 killstreaks in the game. A UAV an Airbomb and an attack helicopter which goes to town lemme tell you. Its really fast paced though and the 3 killstreak thing may sound like it sucks but it puts everyone on a level playing field. The way you make classes is like nothing ive seen before either and must admit i really like it. I started off hitting an even kdr but 2 hours in and i was top of the leaderboard vs max prestige people. Real fun game dude.

Well mw2 was my first online cod game. Im only 1 ahead of you and the grahics are exactly the same as mw3. They never changed the graphics engine in any mw games so mw1 looks as good as 3 does And plenty people play it. WE got in games no bother. I must say im liking it extremely much EXTREMELY MUCH is my great grammar way of saying. Aye min its fucking ace. Gunna play more of it later with jimmy.

Been playing cod4MW1 with jim online and i fucking love it. Gotta say its a really good game. Very differnt from every ther cod ive played but without a doubt the best maps

Did you have the blops map packs? I actually quite like them. Usually map packs suck 9/10 but the blops ones ive really liked.

Ive pestered jimmy to buy mw1 and world at war so we can try them online. Im dying to see what theyre like compared to the new Cods. Everyone says mw1 and blops have been the best call of duties so itl be interesting to see how they play. I think theyre much simpler than the games nowadays. I think mw1 killstreaks are set and the highest you get is an attack helicopter.

If i dont ever get blops 2 itd be cool to play some blops with you and dennis again. Even zombies if your a zombies if your a zombie fan. Im a noob at all the maps bar kino der toten really but i enjoy it none the less.

I meant blops 1 map packs

Yeah my thoughts exactly man. Its definitely more mw3 than blops though technically being set in the future it is modern warfare but it just seems so unbalanced. I empty a clip into someone and they turn round and kill me. Electric stun traps everywhere and bouncing betties combined. guys camping ever window and barrel. And if its bad now....think of when the kiddos get it for christmas. Im still playing and enjoying blops 1. Gotta love challenging yourself and using guns like the Olympia. I recently bought the map packs for it aswell so its added a certain level of freshness to the game.
