  1. I don't think it's ethical to hit anyone, regardless of gender, without a good reason. I'm definitely against domestic abuse.

     

    Also most men are physically stronger than women and that makes it doubly repulsive if they resort to physical force for want of a convincing argument. It is worth remembering also that women have lots of delicate baby-making and feeding plumbing inside which can be easily damaged. A kick in the gonads will case a man 20 minutes of hell, a kick in the stomach may leave a woman unable to ever carry a child.

    While you have a good point about that, I've seen a lot of women that are stronger than most guys I've met. I think it depends on the individual, so I don't think it's right to judge a whole gender based on the myth that females are weaker than men.

  2. What kind of question is this? No you do not hit a woman regardless. If she hits you bit your tongue and deal with it then let yourself out of the relationship or situation and be done with it.

     

    So no is the answer just don't do it.

    Keep in mind I would only get psychical with a female if she was threatening my life with a weapon of some sorts.

     

    But if she just hauled off and punched me for no apparent reason I would just file charges and get away from her. I honestly wouldn't feel right about hitting another female.

    Lucky for you I don't rescent you then. But it feels kinda discriminating to me.

  3. Oh, and there is, I believe, a 5 day waiting period upon purchasing a gun.

     

    Like Chuck said, there is a huge process you have to go through in order to be allowed to carry a licensed weapon. The user obviously must be capable of properly using the weapon, cannot have a criminal record or pre-existing mental psychosis that would make them a danger to themselves or others. This guy from Colorado obviously slipped through the cracks, as reports showed he was a really smart guy, nobody ever expected it, etc. A lot of people are very good at concealing their insanity from the public.

    I just have a feeling nobody cared enough to see the signs or listen to this guy, so he appeared like that to people because nobody bothered looking.

     

    That being said, it does not justify his actions.

  4. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

     

    In countries where we don't sell guns, we have a higher degree of murder by other objects, mostly knives.

     

    To put it another way, you'll always have killers. The only difference are the means of which they kill.

     

    I think the only way to deal with killers isn't to ban guns, but to make sure people get support and care and aren't left alone to develop a psychosis like the guy in Colorado obviously did.

  5. Some terrible shooting seems to have happened in Colorado for the premiere of the new Batman film. :(

    Someone apparently took Bane way too literally. Damn.

    That's what's funny about that whole thing. The dude walks in, hair painted red, not green, and when asked to confirm his identity he responds, "I'm the Joker"...and the Joker isn't even in TDKR. Hell, he's not even mentioned once.

     

    On the topic of the actual shooting, terrible tragedy. The guy is obviously mentally disturbed, but that's still not a good excuse for someone who's being touted as 'top of their class' and 'extremely intelligent' in news articles. If he was so intelligent he wouldn't have condemned 12 people to death, and himself to a life of mental rehab and/or years of gangrape in prison showers.

     

    But then again, there is no logic in insanity.

    You know what they say. Genious and insanity goes hand in hand.
