It isn't needed. Tobbaco and things like excercise kill more people than guns. Why arnet people all over tobbaco like they are on guns? Statistcs don't say *how* the gun kills, and the person publishing it bends the truth so it looks like GunOwnerJoe went out and killed someone. Take into account things like police action, suicides, and things like that, some of you never do. Guns don't hurt people, stupid people hurt people. Don't ban guns from *all* people just the ones that pass a test or something. Why should I or others have to pay because a few indviduals have lost their heratage?

You're kinda dumb, you know that?

His opinion is cool, but the blatant dumbness of his thread just can't be ignored.;)

I didn't try pissing anyone off by posting this thread. Why the hell are you guys trying to piss me off? I was clearly stating my side on the how issue because I had never clearly done it before. (err, and I was also up till midnight, I think)

Opfor, look where you are. People around here dedicate their free time researching gun control, and know the issue like the back of their hands. This is nothing new. This thread was a waste of my electrical bill.

And it's blatent, I believe.

I agree with Maddog, this thread is dumb. You start a topic arguing a point with...
A: No evidence.
B: No organization.
C: No logical explanations.

Do you expect us to take this sh<b></b>it seriously? No, because that's what it is, sh<b></b>it. I can't beleive I wasted my time on this.

It's dumb because all Opfor did was gather up everyone else's opinions, and then restate in a thread of his own. Basically "Look at me, I'm so smart." No, it was dumb. People who do that in school piss me off to no end. They're usually idiots as well.

Blatant (http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=blatant) is how it's spelt. What the hell is balant?:p

Oh, and before I got to sleep...

There's IS a war on tobacco. People ARE on it. Stop pointing your finger.

Statistcs don't say *how* the gun kills, and the person publishing it bends the truth so it looks like GunOwnerJoe went out and killed someone. Take into account things like police action, suicides, and things like that, some of you never do. Guns don't hurt people, stupid people hurt people.

Let me try and get this right. I might be wrong, because I'm still confused after reading it 5 times, but here goes.

Gunowner joe kills someone. It's put into statistics as murder. But those statistics don't say whether it was muder, self defense, suicide, etc... So the truth is bend by the makers of the statistics, and the majority of the population doesn't stop to consider the reliability of the sources. In reality, it wasn't the gun that hurt the guy, it was stupid gunownerjoe.

See how much easier that is to read? Try literacy, it just might help you.

Don't ban guns from *all* people just the ones that pass a test or something.

So I take a test, and they take my gun? You mean : "Take guns away from those who fail to pass a certain test on gun safety, knowledge, and responsibility". Really, you should re-read your posts before clicking the little button.

Why should I or others have to pay because a few indviduals have lost their heratage?


Huh? You mean because they're irresponsible? New invention, it's called a thesaurus. Invest in one today.

A quick Google search indicates that "Balant" is a name... although I hypothesize that it *could*, in principle, stand for an adjectival root for "balance" (as analogous to "valent/valence" or "omnipotent/omnipotence")...

EDIT: Also conjugated Latin onomatopoeia for baaing (http://www.laukart.de/multisite/songbook/latin.html).

Holy ****, Chronic. Get a life. I posted a stupid thread, I guess that means I'm a complete idiot. Do you seriously have nothing better to do than flame me 3 times, then say "I can't believe I'm wasting my time on you!"? Yeah, I ****ing thought so.

There's IS a war on tobacco

Then why aren't they trying to ban it? All I see is "Don't smoke! It's bad for you!".

****, this community is too edgy. One spelling mistake, and everyone flames you. You say you like another game besides INF, they flame you. You stay out of as many flame wars and try to be good, and idiots like you, once again, cause ****ing trouble. I'm sure you guys will come up with some stupid remark about how offensive my spelling is to your fragile eyes, or something gay like that. You people could've just said "heh, were you drunk or something when you posted this? :)" instead of "Your a ****ing idiot, OpFor, I wish I could bash your head in!". Maybe It's possible I was agreeing with the community, as a whole? Could you have gottin that through your little spelling B. brain of yours?
**** I'm tired of people like you.:mad: I'd say this is roughly the third time I've ever flamed someone on this forum, and look at the attitude I get.

OpFor is preaching to the choir (I can't think of a better phrase, sorry) and hasn't really brought up anything new to discuss but there's no need to attack him personally.

Just add something meaningful the rest of us can talk about it or let the thread die.

Dude, you flipped!:p

Sh<b></b>it man, I know I was attacking you but it's all in fun man. Feel free to do it to me in return. Yeah, I was being an as<b></b>shole, but don't take it all personally. All I'm saying is your thread sucked.

Sorry about that man, I wasn't attacking you personally.

I'm sure it's just a semantic misunderstanding.
