Edited on Thu Nov-27-08 01:01 PM by Trajan
To the 'danger' of place ....

You cannot 'ban' a place ...

BTW: We don't want your silly guns ....

I SWEAR I am going to offer Skinner serious ducketts to get the Gungeon off the main discussion page : I/P isn't routed to the main discussion page, and there is no reason the politically volatile Gungeon should be afforded special privileges ...

7. You want to limit discussion of a right protected by our Constitution. That's censorship.

I'm not surprised since you have never presented one fact or logical reason why if we humans have natural, inherent, inalienable rights, the most basic of those rights self-defense should be banned from discussion on DU.

8. see?
Edited on Thu Nov-27-08 05:03 PM by iverglas

Now who would want to miss jody calling the decisions of the owners of this private property "censorship"??


I'm not surprised since you have never presented one fact or logical reason why if we humans have natural, inherent, inalienable rights, the most basic of those rights self-defense should be banned from discussion on DU.

And how surprising would that be, since that is not what the poster proposed at all ...

Why have you never presented a cogent argument for eating dirt, jody?

10. take a pill

"I SWEAR I am going to offer Skinner serious ducketts to get the Gungeon off the main discussion page"


Why do you persist in acting as if your personal preferences are of some relevance here?

12. Don't evil people leave small towns (where they can't hide their evilness cause everyone knows every
one) and move around (to big cities) to find more people to prey upon? Doesn't change the fact that big cities are more dangerous.

13. Perhaps but it could also be that victims are attracted to big cities. Bottom line is the larger the
city, the greater the crime rate.
