Weapons/manliness Options

[Joanne]

I once read on some guy's MSN screenname that he was selling a bulletproof vest.

WHAT?! Dude, that is pretty cool. Though I don't think I'd have any real use of it.

...I'm Canadian. I have never met anyone who owns a gun (that I am aware of). Our ideas of badassiness/manliness depend on other things entirely.

Hey, speak for yourself. I'm Canadian.

Satisfied?

I guess there is the occasional angsty teen who is obsessed with weapons, or the gang member or two, but apart from that, what I said holds true (at least for me). I've heard of more knife violence than gun violence anyway.

Like, I once read on some guy's MSN screenname that he was selling a bulletproof vest. Which is cooler than a gun, obviously. Manlier though? I don't know.

Respect the shooter. It doesn't take much skill to take a round to the dome. It takes a lot more skill to fire a round to someone's dome while 600 yards away, in the rain, using iron sights.

[Reidar]

Satisfied?

Quite.

My dad just left for isreal today.
And if you read the headlines you know theres a war going on. And missiles constantly going off. And hes actually going to the gaza strip! Where there a constantly snipers and missiles going off and hes gonna have to wear one. And as they drive around the camp they cant stop driving for more than 15 secs or youll get shot.
And my dad is going on a mission trip. He;ll be back in 10 days.

f*ck you dumb. No shit there is a war there, there has been one for years. This is not new. And missiles from Israel=finally stepping up to the game.

[Maccabee]

I know there has been missiles exploding in isreal for years but they actually declared war on isreal! Im not stupid! Im jewish!

[Rachel]

You certainly sound stupid. And I'm Jewish too.

Lotta shit exploding in the Gaza Strip, too. Including a UN compound...

They make isreal look bad! Gaza fires way more missiles and they declared the war.
All the news posts anything isreal does but not the bad stuff the gaza ppl r doing!
You dont know what your talking about unless youve actually been there and youve seen whats happening.

In the words of john mayer. They have the only information they can bend it all they want. (his song waiting on the world to change.)

The UN doesn't fire missiles at Israel, and the UN didn't declare war on Israel, so how is Israel justified in shelling a UN compound? The UN is in Gaza as a relief agency who is trying to help the Gazan civilians, who also haven't fired missiles on Israel, by the way. Israel attacked a UN post during their war with Lebanon, too, by the way.

Anyway, the whole missile thing is over-blown. Hamas' missiles rarely do any real damage, let alone kill anyone. Sure, they're still terror weapons, but you don't consider Israel firing chemical weapons on a civilian population to be terror, too?

You dont know what your talking about unless youve actually been there and youve seen whats happening.

You know what, you're right. And back in the 1940s, FDR didn't have any first-hand evidence that Hitler was mass-murdering Jews. Was he wrong to declare war on Germany?

lol@this guy arguing, talks like hes been there and done that

Wait? Are you saying UN is england?
And is the UN for or againt isreal?

[Joanne]

And if you read the headlines you know theres a war going on.

God, I'm not that ignorant. I meant that there's no point of me having one now, in Canada, where there is no war going on.


And I am never going to forgive you for referencing John Mayer.

[Tung]

Just stop reading this topic Joanne. Your IQ will drastically decrease if you continue this.

[*KINGdinguhling*]

can this guy even get an erection

[mipadi]

Hm? No, I don't think I'm saying that. The UN is a multinational conglomeration of nations that seeks (or attempts to seek) peaceful resolutions to problems between nations -- at least in theory. They're not really "for" or "against" Israel per se; they're just (a) seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict; (b) a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestine crisis in general; and more immediately, © aid for civilians caught in the middle of the fighting.

[Maccabee]

John Mayer.

Dont be sad! I love john mayer! aha

O i see.
It just often seems that people try and make isreal look bad.
Cause they often focus on any bad thing but dont talk about the bad stuff anyone else is doing. But thats just my opinion.

[Joanne]

As do I.

I don't really know what "people" try to make Israel look bad. The American media (especially Fox News and the Associated Press) sure don't. American politicians don't. The BBC does paints a rather fairly balanced view of the situation, as do most European governments.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Hamas. But I really can't condone Israeli's bombing of civilians, etc.

[Maccabee]

If youve seen hotel rwanda, to me its seems like isreal is like africa and when they listen to the radio they wont say whats really happening.
Also you might want to read some isreally headlines. cause they often give a lot of info that other news stations wont.

I know there are a few sites but I forgot.

Edit: o and you mentioned isreal bombing civilians but hamas bombs more isreally civilians. My dad has actually gone to the camps where they keep all the homade bombs that have exploded in isreal and there are just hundreds and hundreds on racks.
