    As far as I can tell, you're a dork. But I'll just keep that to myself.

    Why? The reason comedy is funny in the first place is because there's an element of truth to it.

    It may not be 100% true, but to argue that it's flat out irrelevant(without giving a reason by the way) seems rather myopic.

    Seems appropriate given the original post.

    When a foreigner ask Americans about guns, Americans act just like Americans. o_O

    I'll take Jim Jeffries over the NRA lobbyists who actually do affect our policy.

    I have very thick glasses. But I am still a pretty good shot.

    I think this thread pretty quickly outlived its usefuleness.

    One last thing I'll say is that I've yet to hear a compelling argument from anyone about why it's cool to continue along the course we have been without radical changes.

    They seem more upset about the idea of not owning a gun than the rancid slaughterhouse the country has devolved into over the past several decades (which includes the bullet ridden warzones in the black inner cities, not just the recent mass shootings in suburban neighborhoods).

    Back to music.

    I think the correct phrase would be some Americans act just like Americans and feels like the're speaking for everyone. Still the fanaticism is impressive touching on religious levels of belief.

    Didn't realise this was such a touchy subject for some, I honestly wanted to have a discussion about it not an ultimatum with threats on closing threads. I like the communist feel of it.

    I remember when I was in California someone shot and killed a teen at a gas station near my hotel for having the music too loud. That will teach the youth to behave.
    No wonder so many think people in the US are thick headed.

    I live in Jacksonville, FL. We had a court trail with regards to the same thing you stated: Someone was shot over an argument over loud music in a gas station. I wish I was lying, but here's the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Jordan_Davis

    Downside was the gas station was walking distance from my apartment. It was a crazy night. The shooter was a middle age white guy, while the teen who was shot was black. Since I live in a city where people self-segregate themselves due to the Southern past of the city (whites want to live in white areas, blacks in blacks), it was quickly turned into a battle between the whites and the blacks. Saw the giant pickup trucks with the Confederate flag and Pro-NRA stickers that were all driven by white people saying the white guy had right to kill that negro and you will never come take our guns driving in my apartment complex. The blacks where saying the racism was unreal and this is one reason we might need to restrict guns.

    I was so happy when the trail was over. It brought out the crazies from both side in my side of town and it reminded me that racism is still nothing new in Jax, oh well...

    Nice, prideful ignorance while arguing in support of access to guns.

    I lived in Canada for 7 years. Not sure that that's relevant though.

    Canadians might be worse than Europeans. The jury is still out.
