Rip for me you are comparing apples and oranges (city or country it that case)... but this time I won't discuss or I will do but in French so I'll have no difficulty to express my point of view withtout being misunderstood

Ripsnort · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2001, 09:16:00 AM »

Define 'Redneck'.

I live close to the city.

I've bartended in one of the busiest restaurants in DownTown Seattle.(Some of my clients were footbal stars, Lawyers, even the Mayor of the city at the time.)

Before I was married, I used to go downtown Seattle all the time.

I also happen to like to shoot handguns.

I like to hunt.

I admire those who fought and died for this country.

SO, if that makes me a redneck in your eye's, so be it.

Again, if you catagorize everyone that believes in his or her freedoms to be a redneck, then you're looking at a population of 300 million rednecks in the U.S.

Straffo, were there not Frenchmen that died during WW2 for what they believed in? Are they too rednecks?

Yes, Yeager. Why'd you ask that?

leonid · « **Reply #21 on:** January 11, 2001, 09:23:00 AM »

Rip,

Your words seem a little tense (redneck reference aside). Is there another reason for starting this thread? Did something happen?

Ripsnort · « **Reply #22 on:** January 11, 2001, 09:26:00 AM »

Hehe,no Leonid...just been reading alot of anti-gun articles lately in regards to the mass shooting in Mass...which ironically has the toughest gun control laws in the U.S., which just goes to prove my point once again, you can take guns away from law-abiding citizens, but the criminals and wacko's will ALWAYS have them.

Your quote was after my reply. If it was directed at me you might want to read the page a little more thoroughly before you ask. I think you will see in an earlier reply what I think if you read between the line just a little. If it isn't directed at me I think things are getting a little to serious for me and I'm not going to comment further on a some bulletin board on a web page. I generally reserve these conversations to friends and family that I find worth spending the time defining my beliefs with. I'm in here to have fun and make friends not argue over realign and politics. I think if those kind of things began to creep into the game we will see Gas on there everyday (if any of you remembers that little incident the other day). I look at these bulletin boards as a direct extension of the game. They are offered as part of AH. I'm sure a lot of you don't think that and that is your business. But I will keep things on the common courtesy side myself. I will not go into any depth on here about religion and politics. And when your asking about things to die for that's what your basically talking about.

There is a difference between being willing to die for what you believe in and being eager to die for it.

Also, being willing to die for what you believe in does not make your belief right.

Sorry Rip was responding to an mix upper message in the thread I should have quoted you to make my point clear and I clearly fumbled (if it's the right term).
Please,accept my apologies.

The redneck for me was for comparing what can happen in a city with 20 000 000 citizen and a town of 20 000 it's obvious (I hope) that there is and will be more criminality in big city than in smaller.
I live in a town of 37 000 citizen surrounded by cow

Was no what I intented to say

Quote

I admire those who fought and died for this country.

As I've said in another thread I live in Normandie and I know the blood price payed by young men there's 56 years.I've not to make a long trip to visit des cimetiaires

Quote

I also happen to like to shoot handguns.

I like to hunt.

I do also

but I'm against the weapon at home ! especially for self-defense but it's more due to the fact that here it's pretty rare to be attacked with a gun.
And in case of an attack my gun is useless with 2 parts 20 meter from each other and no ammo

(you know child can do stupid thinks!)

Quote

Straffo, were there not Frenchmen that died during WW2 for what they believed in? Are they too rednecks?

Don't think so

Quote

I know that in US the city have not the same structure than in Europe but I don't know if DownTown is the red part or not can you explain further please ?

note to self : when tired don't try to write in foreign language at all ,an try to thing a minimun.

Reminds me a Quote from a Movie (something to do with underground monsters Part II, with Kevin Bacon...)

"If ya need it and don't have it, you're an ar*e !" (Talking about a very BIG gun he had in his cellar, hehehe...)

"Yep and I'll list them.

My Family

My Faith
My Constitutional rights as a U.S. Citizen."

Mine stops on the first one... and i'll add 'my species' as my second. The rest is just crap we humans make up so we can fight each other.

A redneck is the kind of person that finds joy in owning things that will give him/her power over others. Aka, guns, big trucks (when they live in the middle of a city and work in an office), etc.

"you can take guns away from law-abiding citizens, but the criminals and wacko's will ALWAYS have them"

Problem is Rip, that those wacko's were once law-abiding citizens. Look at the shooting at those high schools, they had easy access to weapons, they got ticked off and went hormone ballistic (as most teenagers that are bullied get). That is the real problem.

If a criminal WANTS a gun he will get it anyway and will use it. A ban on guns will not change that nor the fact that the criminal will use them or acquire them... but it will prevent kids from shooting in schools, shooting themselves at home when they played with "daddys cool gun", rednecks pulling a gun to show they have power over you (happened to me once), proto-rednecks deciding they have a chance of gunning down the before stated criminal in the middle of the supermarket and thus creating a situation where dozens of people, including kids, get killed or wounded right by the comic book section.

... need I go on?

Dont need gun control. Need a total gun ban. If you like guns and want to protect what you stated above using a weapon, go to the military or become a police officer.

If not get a bow and arrow, learn martial arts, use your wits. If a criminal comes to threaten your home with a gun you sure as hell are at a disadvantage to begin with.

1. Police themselves have stated that they cannot protect anyone, and that 90% of the time all they will be able to do is fill out a police report after the crime has been commited.

2.i havent seen myny solders on the streets to protect us either.

3.Criminals will always have guns, banning them will just let the criminals rest assured that they can break in, tie you up and rap yer daughter without being shot.

4. Even if guns were banned in the US, who would turn them in??...I lost all mine, they fell in a lake while i was fishing...nope no guns here have a nice day officer, good luck getting all them guns from them crazy people who for some reason feel they are responsible for protecting their famlies.
