That makes my point exactly. Respect that is garnered by a gun and authority is not genuine respect. Real respect is that which is earned and offered voluntarily.

So you are saying you don't give any respect to your police officers who are there to protect YOU? Also I achieve my respect by the way I treat others, just ask some of the inmates who come to my courthouse or the people who actually know me :wink: .

And I think the puritans who founded America would be rolling in their graves at your implication that they left because they weren't allowed to murder trespassers!!

Murder trespassers are you insane!!! You better become more informed with the FACTS before you start preaching about something you have no clue about.

And back on topic. Today I bantered online with a Texan who appears to hold a polar opposite world-view to me.

Consider yourself to be more of a well rounded person now and if we all agreed all the time how boring would that be :D .

Anything 3000 miles from you is an international love affair... unless you're fooling around with Mrs. Palin.

I respect police officers if they behave in a way that deserves respect.

I don't believe that any position of authority, badge or uniform should automatically be respected. It's the way that the person uses that position that earns respect - or otherwise.

Don't take that to mean I'm anti-police. My father and many friends of mine are serving or retired police officers. And I'm a staunch defender of the police and the job that they do.

But you've changed your tune - about 4 posts ago you said that you enjoyed the 'respect' that you got from wearing a gun in public. What that means, basically, is that you enjoy exerting your authority over others by inspiring fear in them. And that was what I find offensive.

You just reminded me of an episode of The Young Ones when Neil becomes a cop.

Neil: Open up! It's the pigs!
Warlock: What's the matter, man? I was fast asleep on my bed. Oh! Hello, Neil, mate!
Neil: Hi, Warlock. Uh, look. This is a bust.
Warlock: Oh, I know it's one, man. Hey! Don't flush the toilet! It's cool! It's only Neil!

Did you play a local course or one you should be bragging about, I would if I could :wink: .


sadly a local one, not one i could bragg about! :hehe:


Brag only has one "g".

Sorry! I honestly can't help myself!!! :banghead:

You need to get layed (or is it laid), BAD!!! :rolleyes:


Laid is the correct spelling :wavey:


I really love it when men who feel threatened by intelligent women suggest that they need to get laid in order to 'fix' them. :hehe::hehe: It's such a dumbarse thing to say that it hardly needs to be replied to.


A good shag might just strip me of all intelligience though!

I'm so confused?? How does this work again? :D

Intelligence only has two "i"s.

Sorry! I honestly can't help myself!!! :banghead:


Oopsy-daisy! :rofl:

Canada has a higher per capita number of gun owners yet it has a dramatically lower number of gun crimes/murders.

I have nothing against someone owning a gun, however, owning a gun obviously doesn't diminish anyone's level of a$$holiness. I have quite a lot again some states allowing the sale of guns that should only be used by the military. Definding yourself and your family doesn't require a 50mm cannon.

That's because the majority of Canadian gun-owners live outside the cities where their nearest neighbours are a decent distance away. Get mad, go and blast away at the wildlife. And apologise afterwards, of course.

Scary...

Just normal. Our neighbour (a decent distance away) has a rifle by the back door and 9 year old twins. There's no bullet in the chamber but there are rounds in the magazine. They make a delicious moose sausage, too, (The neighbours, not the bullets.) Gotta love this country.

I actually got up at 7am to watch the Abu Dhabi GP live instead of watching the replay on demand later in the day to see Sebastian Vettel usurp everyone for the WDC!
