Just watched Obama's speech. The cynic in me knows he'll be counting his poll leads after a speech like that, but at the same time I have a lot of respect for how he handled it. Makes me wish we could get a sane, statesmanlike democratic leader like you guys. Our guy sucks balls.

[Xteven Xavier]

didn't watch the speech but truthfully I didn't even hear about that until after I posted, I tend to stay away from the news, I don't trust them. So while I do agree that there should be some sort of evaluation for owning a gun, the patriot in me also makes me want to yell bullshit at the logical side of my brain because I believe in the constitution and it gives us the right to bare arms, and the right to rise up and secede from the union if the government becomes tyrannical, but then I see how it ended the first time. Now don't get me wrong I believe in equality more than most people. but the constitution gave the south the right to secede. But then it became war, I know that it would happen the same way if it ever happened again so it makes it harder for me to have hope.

Now I know that this probably seems like belly aching but man our constitution is probably the most brilliant document ever written, and by some of the greatest minds that will ever exist, so why can't we follow it?

If it does come to the point where Americans need to rise up and secede from the union I very much doubt guns will do any good in the situation. Armed resistance to American intelligence forces have never ended well. Just ask your latino brothers.

Not to mention I never said ban guns outright. But it certainly should be more strict. We're the only civilized country that has this much gun related violence and it's because our gun laws are just too loose.

But yeah, he was a mother fucker for sure.

EDIT: And my response this morning was more towards the fact that the first thing I ever see in my news feeds when this happens is arguments on how much we need guns. It is sickening and terrible.

Here is the problem with that. History and other countries have shown that when you tighten gun laws, crime goes up. In Switzerland, everyone has a gun and not just a 22 or something. They have assault rifles! Crime is Switzerland is crazy low as a result.

but they also probably have a better mental health system that's not as stigmatized as it is here. also when you legally obtain a gun, youre taught how to use it and respect it. i dont know anybody who's both afraid of guns, and owns one.

[Xteven Xavier]

also in switzerland everyone is required to spend a term in the military after high school and it's actually their service rifle they get to keep.

I finally finished all the paperwork and have been approved to run my business. Yay!

.... (accidentally posted in this thread twice).

[lazlo falconi]

Wel that's just swell! What sort of business is it? (And don't spare the dirty words where necessary.)

[Xteven Xavier]

If that's the case I want every other word to be a dirty word, do it, you won't.

I'm fucking a cunt-burgling web shitting developer. Or something... I might have to put that on my business card. Or just "Cunt Burglar" could be amusing, especially if I give them the look Mr. Bean gives in my avatar as they read it.

Disgusting.

Do you already have any jobs?

[Donkeymog]

Yes, I plan to have my first cunt burgled shortly after the new year.

[kspr]

so that makes you a rapist, right? or is that some kind of british idiom for getting a haircut?

[Donkeymog]

In other news Skynet is a real thing and is going to happen and kill us all.

[lazlo falconi]

There are already multiple Skynets in the states. But this one will probably allow them all to link up and become one hivemind.

i go to a bar tonight, and the first thing this guy says to me is "whatre you, some kinda white ni---r?"

now being the flamboyant character that i am, this normally wouldn't bother me. but for some reason, this human garbage got a real kick out of how taken aback i was. so i say to him "it's 2012, knock that shit off"

THEN this guy starts to act hard like he's going to kick my ass. now, you guys have never met me, but im 6", 200lbs, black belt in tae kwon do, c rated sabre fencer, and shrug 280. im not someone you want to anonymously antagonize. so i ask him "what part of being 40 with a beer belly is supposed to intimidate me?"

then i see this guy has a knife clipped to his belt. and he's starting to tug at the bottom of his sweatshirt right over it.

that's when one of my friends who's a two time iraq vet, and knows i was in the navy, comes and joins me at my table. in the most amazingly redneck-zen display ive ever seen a a bar, after this asshole asks him if he's my boyfriend, he slaps his military id on the table and says "ive killed fellas bigger 'n you wit knives smaller n that" then he grabs this guy by the collar, and literally throws him out the front door. if i didnt actually seen it happen, i never would have believed it.

/>(Awesome story)

Dude. One word: badass.

this asshole asks him if he's my boyfriend

Reminds me of

[Xteven Xavier]

your a black belt? I'm an orange belt, I know it's the second lowest, but hey It is one of my most recent accomplishments in the real world so I'm still proud, I just wish my work didn't start scheduling me all of the days of the week my gym was open, I had to completely stop going

[kspr]

it was fun, but ive been out of it too long not to have to start over.

i think my cat is a rapist. she pushed the door open to get into the bathroom, and started rubbing on my leg. then when the dog started whining at the door, she turns around and pushes it shut. this is the same cat that eats her own farts.
