Nope, no contradiction. I am a perfect dog. You also forgot to include the smiley, whose purpose is to indicate a modified interpretation (joking, sarcasm, etc.) Attempting to get things back on track, one thing that annoys me about many women is that they use sex as currency to obtain the...

Obviously, too much perfection scares them off.:p Maybe I should behave more like the dog I am.

Yes. Get used to it.:D

That makes sense. The sun is also extremely bright.:cool:

"mandatory" meaning something that everyone should choose to do in every case, not meaning a law. It is a matter of education, not enforcement. No, I don't have any "catching up" to do. I am always right, and always express myself clearly. It is those of you who misread my statements through...

My guess was rather high, then.:o

This is the worst misinterpretation I have seen yet! Show me a sentence anywhere in this thread where I have suggested governmental control of anything.:confused: As you said yourself, I am very liberal. That implies opposing government control over individual behaviour.

This discussion has thus far only been about defense at home. Carrying a weapon (especially concealed) outside the home is an entirely different can of worms, and probably deserves its own thread.

How is keeping the pistol fully loaded and in easy reach any different than keeping the shotgun fully loaded and in easy reach? The advantage of the shotgun is not having to aim carefully.

Is something hurting you? Sorry to hear that.:(

Yes. And then, when you demonstrated your inability to understand my meaning, I explained it in more detail. For example "a lot of serious social issues, including rape, would be stopped" was misinterpreted by you as "all rape would be stopped". "A lot" is not the same as "all". (My only error...

If the pope announced "it is now the official position of the church that the use of birth control is a personal choice", a very substantial percentage of those Catholics who had not been using it up until then would begin doing so.

A few pages back, yes. The thread has gone off on a tangent since then.:rolleyes:

Those who actually believe all that religious garbage don't feel like it is a choice. To them, the pope must be obeyed.

Wrong again (it is getting to be a habit with you.) I have never recanted anything. I was merely clarifying so that even you could understand my meaning.

What does personal choice have to do with it in this context? Those who obey the pope are not being given a choice.

Good in what way? Well-founded on what? Are you referring, perhaps, to the phrase "be fruitful and multiply" in an ancient work of fiction? Maybe you are thinking of the ridiculous concept that birth control will make people more promiscuous (as though they won't be anyway)?

I don't doubt that!:D (I was leaning towards using the phrase "IQ challenged".:p)

I agree. By the same token, only the military and law-enforcement have a valid use for handguns. The best gun strictly for self-defense is a shotgun. Keeping guns unloaded and/or disassembled is not about preventing crime, it is about protecting children from fatal accidents.
