It was actually Peter O'Toole. Not many people know that.

This. Big time. Like I said before, you don't have a monopoly on outrage over the San Bernadino killings. Get the hell over yourself.

I'm perfectly willing to listen to any specific ideas from the gun-control crowd, but I never hear anything from them aside from 'we need to do something' or 'NRA bad'.

:lol:

You're not very good at sarcasm. You're also not very good at discussion. You begin a topic by condemning people who support the 2nd amendment to the Constitution and the largest lobby that gives them voice, while simultaneously calling out people in advance of their responses, and you have the gall to continue to condescend sarcastically when you get the inevitable disagreement? Bravo - you're a jerk. You ask for consensus in calling for 'something' to be done, and offer nothing in the way of specifics that won't set constitutional precedent. You take umbrage at being called an idiot, but you continue to seek agreement from people on the vague 'guns are the problem' mantra. Perhaps you should focus more on the people who perpetrate mass killings such as what happened in San Bernadino, and how we, as fellow Americans, can stop them. You can't stop gun violence by advocating a cultural change which relies on willing and knowing curtailment of Constitutional freedoms, the precedent of which would have implications regarding all guarantees enumerated in the Bill of Rights. I understand that your original post was inspired by a visceral reaction to yesterday's massacre, but you act as if you're the only one who hates and despises such deeds. You're not. Get over yourself.

Like we do in Texas. Half the victims at that Christmas party would have carried concealed handguns.

The same way reporters working on the San Bernardino story know about the neighbor who was reluctant to report the suspicious activity at the shooters' residence.

Reasonable people would agree with you, but the pervasiveness of the PC culture has a lot of people afraid to speak up for fear of being branded racist.

brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, such as 'ass breath' and 'poop head'.

Facts are nothing but obfuscation.

When insulting others, it's usually best to not do the exact same thing you accuse them of doing.

I thought this was refreshing - the president of Wesleyan University in Oklahoma responds to a student who complained about feeling 'offended' and 'victimized ' by what he heard while attending a sermon on love. "At OKWU we teach you to be selfless rather than self-centered. We are more interested in you practicing personal forgiveness than political revenge. We want you to model interpersonal reconciliation rather than foment personal conflict. We believe the content of your character is more important than the color of your skin. We don’t believe that you have been victimized every time you feel guilty and we don’t issue “trigger warnings” before altar calls." http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/11/30/president-tells-students-this-is-not-day-care-this-is-university.html?intcmp=ob_article_sidebar_video&intcmp=obinsite

From the linked NYT article: "In a rare show of bipartisanship, the administration has drawn scorn from Democrats and Republicans. The Obama administration’s stance has “blocked what was once a free flow of information” to the watchdogs, Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said at a hearing."

Ah, yes - I remember that old Memorex commercial.

Cheers! I like the name 'Zebulon', but only plan to use it if I ever get another cat.

Damn, you're even sensitive by leftie standards. Intimidating video, though. You sure told me.

I thought it was the Ella Fitzferald...

There you guys go again, obfuscating with facts.

It seems to me that as time passes, Donald Trump looks more and more like an angry chicken.

It's wonderful that Ottowans have solved so many of life's problems that this is all they have to worry about.

No, real men drink tequila. but if seltzer makes you feel masculine, don't let me stop you.

If it makes you feel better, I'll train my green laser on your sorry ass.

Did I mention that the responses, despite any lack of originality and the occasional frequent poop reference, are damned entertaining? You do realize that's the only reason anyone talks to you, right?

Be honest - the questions are only asked because the answers they get are so damned entertaining.
