also, it seems like the subject of home invaders trying to rape your girlfriend was something you introduced to rationalize your desire to represent yourself as a badass who is capable of bashing another man's head in.
lol making me out to be some sort of alpha male plays into your little meme about how you'd rather die than harm another human. Problem is you go on to display contradicting tendencies when you say you enjoy getting a rise out of poking other persons. This happens because you are a stereotypical unhealthy introvert and believe you are smarter than everyone around you, yet admittedly, can do nothing with your wealth of intellect. Laymens terms, you're full of shit.
It's kind of sad because you show signs of being able to contribute to conversations but you get so hell bent on making the topic all about you that you shit all over any valid points you have by making contrarian statements like you'd rather be murdered than harm another human.
If you have children or a significant other or a family that relies on you or looks at you as the protector of your household it is one of the most important roles a person can have. It is a primal instinct ingrained in us over the ages. At no point did I say or imply that if i flipped on the lights and the burglar ran out that I'd chase him down the street and murder him for the sake of murdering. I said if any type of altercation broke out I'm rendering him incapable of harming my family.
We have alot of young males on here who do not have wives/fiances/children/etc. Having these things changes your outlook on life completely. When you have these things your life ceases to be simply about you... and your decisions, reactions, etc cease to be just about you.
I've had the unfortunate opportunity to serve in afghanistan and Iraq. Because of that I personally do not own a gun and will never own a gun barring zombies or a post-apocalyptic scenario. However, serving in those hostile areas and seeing scenarios play out as such I've learned that your family is the most valuable thing you have in this life as it is the only thing that cannot be bought, traded for, stolen, etc and the love of your family members is one of the only things worth fighting for in this world.
This point is in no way related to the argument on gun legalization nor does it imply that I support private ownership... it does however, say I understand the motivation by a lot of americans to arm themselves. I don't condone, but I do understand.
I don't condone driving gas guzzling SUV's but I understand.
I don't condone abusing drugs but I understand.
I don't condone a lot of things but I understand.
Our european counterparts do not understand, my comments were trying to aide them in understanding
I'm going to get back on track and either let this thread die or get back to healthy discussion about the topic at hand. If you wish to make this about you again I'll have to politely not play along.
