Mexican standoff
« on: January 18, 2008, 09:48:13 PM »
Does a Mexican standoff (multiple people aiming guns at each other) ever actually occur outside of movies? Is it really feasible that it would actually be safer to NOT fire your gun at the person who is aiming his gun at you?

I think it's more like (a) aims at (b), (b) aims at (c), (c) aims at (a).

Yes. They happen. Usually when people
AREN'T sure that they want to start firing.

As for not shooting at the person pointing a gun at you I think thats all about reflex time and just how big your balls are

Indeed? Think about police. Not every engagement
with an armed foe ends in a shoot-out.

Indeed? Well lets go back to thinking. Let's think about whether police really give a shit about shooting people. And then lets shut our fucking mouth and stop acting like we know everything.

They do give a shit. It means filing annoying extra paperwork,
if nothing else.

Just because you couldn't think up the obvious answer
all by yourself, doesn't mean that you need to be such
an ass.

Fuck! That was a wee bit harsh. Weren't you asking for opinions Malador?
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

He requested that you lick his balls, good sir.    What is your response on the matter?   I suggest you fake like you are going to then punch them like a speed bag.
:P   Internets are super serious.
