Welcome Jcknife :)

I hope you'll enjoy your stay here.

I'm going to sign up to the official board one day, but I just don't know when. I'll still be here though :) Can't forget my first FF site ^-^

Sure, next rounds on me

But, just saying that you might want to tone it down a bit till you know your surroundings. We all get to know eachother gradually anyway. Being cautious doesn't typically lead to bad things, but, not being cautious...

Hullo, JCKnife!

Welcome to the board, you have indeed chosen the TV show of champions. I salute your discerning tastes.

I consider myself a liberal, though over here in the UK that doesn't really carry any stigma, nor does being conservative. I think it's because we all meet in the same bars and get drunk together and argue good-naturedly... well, usually. Sometimes we even subscribe to opposing views while still maintaining our allegiences. I wish some people on the net were more willing to listen to other views and converse in a way that uses reasoning and empathy, but I guess I hope for too much given this lil'l baby we call the internet. Let it be said that you seem a nice chap, and are always welcome. Personally I think guns are dangerous (well, they fire a high velocity lead slug, figure it out) but I think the main danger comes from a naive innocence as to the damage they can do. If Hollywood were to start showing the real damage they can do, the really mess they can cause to a body, maybe fools wouldn't shoot them at other people. I see nothing wrong with firing at targets. As for keeping guns to fend off a dictatorship, those wars in such developed societies as America are won and lost through information, propaganda and dissent. If America were to fall into darkness, it would come in a subtle form that would be initially embraced. No initial independant force of arms could resist it. It would take guts and dissent and sacrifice. That being said, if I had to defend my loved ones, a gun would be most effective. Though personally I do archery, but I guess the axe murderer would have to wait while I string my bow. So... erm, I guess since the shootings at the school in Dunblane in Scotland (actually worse than Columbine, around a decade ago) I've been for very strict gun control. But then I have never lived in America, so I can only speak for my nation.

Gosh, that would sound amazingly weak and liberal, I guess, if I didn't heartily enjoy John Woo's Hong Kong movies and relish Jayne's gunplay.

All I'm saying is, argue with courtesy (and I'm frowning at liberal's name-calling here too!) and without anger or contempt, and I'd be happy to listen, argue with and pound some beers with you any day.

Welcome, JCKnife!

Pete
