Default I have had an epiphany.

I hereby recant my ways.


I was in the shower the other day doing what I always do in the shower: fuming about something someone posted on here. (What did you THINK I always do in the shower? Hentai) And it occured to me. I spend 50% of my PH time expaling to Americans that their government can't be trusted, has done terrible things to literally hundreds of millions of people and should be damned to hell for it... then I spend the other 50% of my time trying to support issues that rely on government control.

I have seen the light.

I cannot understand allowing citizens to have guns, not wanting government healthcare, not wanting education well-funded, not wanting a safety net for families, not wanting grass-roots Political Parties and other standard basic of Western Civilisation because MY GOVERNMENT IS RELATIVELY HARMLESS!

I have alway taken the argument "I want my guns for the day the police and government come to get me" or "There's no way the government should get its hands on health money" as perposterous because they are such standard things in all other Western countries. It never occured to now that this is the government that I myself rail against daily for dropping Agent Orange on people, refused to sign a treaty banning landmines, invading small powerless countries and propping up merciless demented butchers on a regular basis, discussing teaching creationism in 2007, where 2 of the modern era Presidents have prided themselves on never watching or reading any news and were genuinely floored that South America has diverse cultures in it.

Would I honestly suggest to good hard-working people that THIS government should run their health-care, be their social safety net and keep the peace with the only weapons in town?

I think I have finally been converted. If I lived in Detroit... yes... I WOULD want a gun. And I would NOT trust Jeb Bush with my exclusive health care dollar. And if MY government were the one that had pissed everybody off so much. I WOULD be defending myself by sending troops over somewhere else the hell away from me.

Wow!

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Wow!

Gun ownership isn't simpley about suspicion of gov't but also about not having to rely on the police to protect you, when the police are thouroughly incompetant.

police aren't incompetent but they are swamped with crisis and can't supply the force as needed in every instance.
we are responsible for our own well being, if that includes having a firearm for protection, good.
independence is good.

The police are often very incompetent. Look at their response to the Columbine shooting; they hid behind their squad cars while kids were getting shot.

they have procedures. they aren't going to go Rambo and sacrifice themselves when they don't know who or what is inside.
for the most part... cops are ok. and helpful and do the right thing. they are there to serve and protect. nothing is 100% and they are human. I'd rather have police than have none.
but I don't depend on the government or police for my personal protection, that's my job.

If they are there to serve and protect, then they should be caring about others before themselves.

Most cops are ok, but many are also lovers of power.

Now Doc sounds like you had quite the "discussion" with yourself in the shower and got quite excited. Lol. Now please forgive me but do follow my Freudian analogies...

While I do not doubt certain people think owning guns is the way to expression their individual rights guaranteed them in the US constitution to me its simply a male prepccupation with the penis. I see the gun simply as an extension of the penis. The US to me has always had a fondness for its penis (guns).

I mean a penis is a penis is a penis why the big deal? For thta matter its usually no big deal anyways.

Surely we men have other ways to express ourselves other then obsessing about our right to hold our penis?

Can we not find other ways to express our individual rights other then through playing with our penises?

Now Doc when I go to a urinal I practice the one space rule because I do not trust the guy next to me to use his gun properly. I don't want to get sprayed. Now Doc, you be my guest and don't listen to my words of wisdon and be my guestm don't practice the one space rule... but when you get sprayed don't say I didn't warn you.

To me it simply comes down to that. All these people who feel like big men with their penises/guns may feel powerful, but do they really know what to do with one?

I think anyone who wants a gun, needs to do more then get a license. They need to go see a urologist to understand just how complicated a gun's operation is.

See to me there is a time and place for your pee pee-it belongs at a gun club. Anywhere else, thank you, but I don't want to know about your pee pee and of course I get nervous when you hold your pee pee in public and point it. I mean if nothing else its rude.

I also think if we elect more women politicians they will put a stop to this penis nonsense and tell us men to grow up and pay more attention to foreplay (more subtle approaches to expressing our individual rights).

So I urge Americans to vote for Hilary and and stop playing with their pee pees and go out and play hockey instead. That's the only stick you should shoot and score with.

Think about it. Do you want to be penalized for using your hun improperly and end up in a penal colony?
