Happy New Year folks!

I'm still around, I guess?

My apologies for the double post, but should I make a thread about lootboxes and stuff?

Succumbio has responded to the points regarding the background checks and so forth, so I'll discuss the other stuff. It just seems as if "no weapon murders" have increased somewhat over that period rather than knife-related murders. Overall murders since then have been down. So I guess you...

These seem like fairly common sense issues here. Someone who has a history of violence, perhaps gang-related should not be able to legally purchase a firearm, for example. The fact that this is in not in place throughout the whole of the US is utterly ridiculous to me. It's actually rather...

Recently there's been a number of mass shootings lately in the United States such as in Las Vegas where 58 people were killed and hundreds more were injured. Sadly these are a relatively common occurrence, with at least several occurring per year. Many of the shooters bought their guns legally...

See that's the interpretation as I understood it from a first glance. I thought it would be a very lax version of an equivalent situation to Switzerland or Singapore where every man has to do basic military training and serve for some period of time in the armed forces. See that makes sense...

That's a shame because I like discussing gender issues. Donald Trump also always gets people going.

When I see the 2nd Amendment, I see the words: I don't see how this is about bearing arms against government tyranny. Who would do the regulating, other than the free State that the militia is protecting? It seems to me that it's talking about external threats rather than internal. I am...

I used to post here like 7 years ago, and then I decided to visit lately. What are the main things that I have missed?

So if a particular country treats it's citizens poorly its just as likely to treat non-citizens well? I'm not going to debate the validity of nuking Japan. That's for a different time and place. With regards to the US involvement in "virtually" ever major war, I think it's worth mentioning...

Now it's worth menionting that my own position is that it's silly to have the US act as "THE WORLD POLICE" or whatever. I just think that they should stand up for international law when appropriate and perhaps more importantly stand up for humanitarian causes when appropriate. The US is a...

Look, I'm a bit late to the boat here, but Battlecow did raise some good points. The USA is in a position to act as a kind of world police, due to its huge military and prevent atrocities and in some situations that might the right thing to do. I everyone was getting rather riled up from about...

A more important question, who cares? As long as we all agree on that something is "black", something else is "white" and something else again is "orange", that's all we need right? Otherwise, we're just playing word games.
