Another US shooting..

[Scrapheap]

They got away with some pretty anti-American legislation in DC for a while, though.
Something about shooting people not being among our rights.

If you don't stand up for your rights soon, you might end up like us poor Europeans and the Aussies. Guns will either be banned, or, they will be allowed, but not in self-defense, which makes the legal possesion of a gun meaningless.

Totally agree, but with the two main parties, both, attacking our varoious rights, it's kind of hard to stop. We need a successful independent candidate for a few years, maybe, but that is not even likely.

The Libertarian party should attack the other two conventions with guns blazing  so we can have some new blod in DC. 

[Calandale]

Or at least some blood.

[Litigious]

Aaahhh, blood!

[odeon]

why can't everyone just learn martial arts for defence instead

Because Jiu-Jitsu does a shitty job of stopping bullets.  durr

Didn't you ever see "Remo"?

[SovaNu]

didn't you ever see the matrix?

[McGiver]

didn't you ever see the matrix?

i'm still looking for waldo?

[SovaNu]

[McGiver]

[SovaNu]

well Keanu and the other peeps are all cool and wear sunglasses inside and long coats that you'd think would get in the way when fighting but apparently not, and they can freeze bullets and other cool stuff and they act all cool and stuff. yeah. that's about it.

if you wanna see a less sterile and more interesting and way different film with a similar basic idea, try Cronenberg's eXistenZ.

Thank you for pointing out the fact that self defense without bullets is the stuff of pure fantasy.

Does anyone actually think about their voting choices?  Or do they just robotically vote for whoever their peers voted for?

People think deeply about their voting choices.  They research all the options and choose the best one.  At least that has been my experience.

Yes, but as South Park pointed out, most elections are between a Turd Sandwich and a Giant Douche.

That is often an excellent point.  In those cases, the choice might come down to the lesser of two evils.  I was not thrilled with Kerry/Edwards in the last Presidential election, but I thought them less likely to erode ordinary people's civil rights the way I thought W had done and would continue to do.  He just used the 9-11 tragedy as an excuse to do even more of what he already was inclined to do when he was elected.
