Some people don't understand "metaphors" and "figurative speech" and as such should shy away from debating.

It was needed for deer hunting.

So you believe in censorship then?

No. I believe in people being accountable, and if they were to sit back and seriously ponder their actions, they could probably see how they contribute to growing partisan divides, and increasing anger amongst supporters. They could probably see how their rhetoric is contributing to the hate.

But like you already said, nothing is going to change. People who hate Palin will still hate her. People who hate Obama will still hate him. And there will be an opinion out there on a blog, or conventional media source to cater to these nutjobs. To pat them on the bottom and tell them they're special. To confirm their hatred. To reinforce their ignorance.

Northern Ontario,
It won't change a thing.

Time will not change the outcome...the nut will go to trial whether he's a democrat or republican

But political ideology always changes the direction of these discussion...otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it if we agreed on everything.

I've heard of a PAL. Still doesn't answer my question.
Well if you've heard of a PAL, then you really shouldn't need me to explain it to you then. Should you?

Any other stupid comments?
Keep asking stupid questions, just to say something, and you won't get treated like a fool.

Don't get me wrong Ton, I actually agree with you. But in the end, free speech is what it is.

The downside of the internet.

Too true.

And I wouldn't have it any other way, except of course my beliefs in personal accountability that obviously aren't held as important by many in the media.

Some people don't understand that symbolism is used to sell and therefore don't understand how it might work.

Not likely.

But as you can see here, and in yourself to some extent, accountability seems to be a fluid thing.

The criminal here is, and the full blame here lies with, Loughner.

Are beer and porn companies culpable in sexual assaults?

Project much?
Speaking of twisting and turn...You didn't ask me to explain PALs to you.

That's right I didn't. So, lets just forget you even brought them up. The question was posed to you (in regards to "intense background checks, mental screening and extensive training) "who is going to do that"? Since you have so little use for bureaucrats I was just wondering how you think people that can't run a utility system can run something as complex as a mental screening. Alternatively, if you don't feel these incompetent civil servants are capable of such a difficult task, you could always explain who you think should be doing it.

Well troll, I find myself in a conundrum. I guess, unlike yourself, I'll have to eat some of my own words (Oh what a Joey thing to do) and say the Feds should.

Since in the past, the criminal background checks worked, and in the recruiting phase of service, you have to pass a mental health test. The Gov't can handle some things.

But hey, don't let that stop you from taking a comment out of context. I mean when we're taking about running a corporation and doing background checks on people, we're talking about the exact same thing right?

Not to mention, in this province, PAL courses are done by private firms.

Go figure.

Any other stupidity you want to express today? I guess you'll be sore from getting fed in a couple threads for a while eh. I see you're still changing my nic. I mean seriosuly, it's killing me, I'm hurt, I take you and your trolling so seriously and all. Good call, you wouldn't want anyone to be serious about the net and all. Not that you get offended enough to retaliate in such a defensive way. No not you, you the great Cannuck...



Is the shovel I'm feeding you with to big? I figured since your foots been in your mouth so much, it would fit...lol...
