Thank you sir, good read, though I knew most of that.

mario kart is one of those ultimate party games.... super, n64, or Wii, doesn't matter, mario kart is hard to beat.

good tools are an investment...

As they said in japan "Brack an Yerrow"

we all know the law doesn't work on a level of "common sense". Things need to be expressly written, understood and conveyed by law.

Correct me where I'm wrong my good chum... do felons have to forever eat steak with a fork and spoon?

I had a squirt gun with acid in it when I was a kid... it was citric acid, cause we filled the squirt guns with orange juice... but still.

I just want clarification as to why a knife and a gun are on the same level of force, but a pillow and a squirt gun and a fist are not, when any one of them can be deadly given the right situation, application, and intent. Clearly Skittles and Snapple are deadly weapons.

yes, you should feel free to shoot anyone who comes at you with a bopper, cause I'm sure one has caused death at some point.

well if you didn't like the pillow example, a tablespoon of water is deadly, so you should open fire on anyone who tosses a water balloon your way, or shoots you with a super soaker.

I have a pretty large pool of responses to loud music in my personal experience. probably 80% of responses are rude/angry/confrontational 20% of people who requested that I change the volume level of my music were polite about it. Just running the odds, he was probably rude/confrontational about it...

As expected, I disagree... Knife is an escalation from a fist fight. gun is an escalation further. You aren't prohibited from owning knives if you are a felon. Just because something CAN cause death does not mean it should be classified as a deadly weapon... I could kill someone with a pillow, but that doesn't mean that it is a reasonable response to shoot someone for bopping you with a pillow.

So what if you confront someone, punch them, and instead of punching you back, they just pull out a gun and shoot you? Was that legitimate self defense? Or what if there was a step in between where you punch someone, they pull a knife, and then you shoot them? What responsibility should you have for starting the altercation?

I once contacted Capri Cafaro regarding the bill she sponsored to stop unaided visual estimation of speed citations... I also contacted Kasey Kozlowski regarding the same issue... the bill died without being voted on, but hopefully one of them will put forth another.

congrats, and welcome to the owner's club

remember this one? "We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by the fact checkers"

I know, right? If it happened another way, I'll be happy to change my tune... but I am pretty good at this stuff. I know how most people operate.

A presumably unarmed teenager being shot and killed for "talking back" to a man with a gun and a happy trigger finger.... those are the similarities that I was inferring.

I don't usually see any maniacs anymore...

Common misconception... Just because I have no use for one, and believe they don't have a place in civilized society doesn't mean I'm afraid. The fact that some of you can't bear to leave the house without one has more to do with fear than my refusal to buy or carry one.

yes I was very skeptical of the shooter's story, that's the same as believing him...

I listen to music while filling up, especially if I have friends in the car...

Since when are you guys logical about this stuff? what happened to blindly believing the shooter's story? Most of you did last time...

I have my ideas/thoughts about what happened... But I don't "know"... I just loved the debates surrounding the M Vs. Z case so much...
