you are the one screaming dood.  and I am sorry if when i joined there was no wars going on, i guess that makes me a less man than you.  and pride isnt about how something is spelled or not.  I can type united states of america  and it doesnt mean I love my country any less that who type with capital letters.

it's useless discussing something with you.  there's a difference of opinions no need to come to insults.

You don't understand being a Marine then. Ask ANY Marine here or in real life if MARINE should have a capital M. Do it. It's having pride in what you did. When you take pride in something, you make sure everything about it is as best as it could be.

Not yelling. No ! marks OR ALL CAPS RAAAAAAAAGE on my end. More like frustration from some guy who is too dense to understand when he has been beaten. You keep bringing up tea and how you got scared of a cop. You have yet to really defy the point, only make a piss poor attempt at a topic swap just like the post I'm replying to. The only thing you have done is keep bringing up the ONE time a cop placed his hand on his weapon, didn't unhook or remove it and you felt like you were gonna get shot. Ermaghaud.

And who cares if there was a war or not. Last I checked I didn't mention anything about that (let alone even know), but it was easy to tell you had never deployed by the way you are freaking out about a cop and his sidearm. You need to spend some time a $#!t hole country so you can see what REAL police brutality is.

You're pretty much telling me you're offended. Letting me know you're offended is doing nothing but telling me you can't control your own emotions, so everyone else should do it for you.

I'm calling you out because this argument is going to end. You've dug a hole so deep that you've dug through the earth, popped out the other side and are stacking dirt to get to the moon. If you're upset that I called you out and no one came to back you up, then that is your problem. You kept avoiding the point and only had ONE instance you could bring up in the decades you've been alive and then brought in stereotypes as if we're stuck in the 60's.

I debate to win. When I'm proven wrong, I admit it.

I wasn't yelling, I just quit beating around the bush and being nice. I threw it all on the table and I'm thinking it finally hit you and you've got too much self-pride to let it go.


I'd like to think this is what smacked you and gave you a little sliver of a wake up call.

Oh get over yourself, just jokin around a bit.

Of course it was an exaggeration.

EDIT: Yeah Ok, I thought I was being funny but I guess it wasn't funny to you so I will apologize.

This is a good thing...the more honest citizens who are armed, the more the manics are out numbered....also the police are a bit more respectful & less apt to take a heavy hand immediately...IMO. :old:

cops dont prevent crimes, cops are the cleanup crew. while i totally respect them and their jobs, no one is gonna save me, but me. i don't go looking for trouble, but i can defend myself at any time of day or night! as said before, more armed citizens means less problems.

although homeland security is now buying up the bulk of ammo in this country. wonder what thats all about?

and when you were in Afghanistan or Iraq if any civilian there put his hand on his gun nice and slow you just looked and smiled and offered him some tea or did you just open fire?.  that officer didnt look at me as if I was just another guy walking by.  I didnt get the name semp just because I thought it was cool.  I was once in the marines and I know the the look of just give me a reason so I can just blast you away.  that is the same look that officer had on his face. no expression just a blank stare.  that's why I was afraid, and I shouldnt  be afraid when there's a police officer around.  he didnt cautiously or casually place his hand on his gun, he thought I was a threat.  why?  I dont know as like I said before i dont live in the ghetto I dont look like a gangbanber, I dont dress like one.  I was in my work uniform just stopping at a 711 to get a cold beer after work.  and that isnt a crime last I checked.

btw nobody remembers the last time a police officer got shot or killed in my city.  and I dont live in a small city.  I own 2 guns and I always have one next to me when I play the game as not for the need for it but just I am used to it.  both guns I have owned for about 15 years and I have never had the need to use them other than when my gf goes target shooting.   I have never wished I had a gun while walking outside as crime is not my main concern.  I dont carry one as I dont see the need for it.  Like I said you guys can bs yourselves all you want, but I shouldnt be more afraid of the police than of criminals.  and since then to be honest I am more concerned of getting shot by the police than by a regular joe smith walking down the street as a regular joe smith hasnt looked at me with that blank look on his face while putting a hand on his gun.

Do you find it difficult, living with such fear and paranoia, or have you gotten used to it by now?

I am glad I live in a place where I can sit in a cinema in peace and not have to worry one iota about getting shot while I have a face full of popcorn.
Although i have reconsidered my position on weaponry when that fat guy behind wont stop belly bouncing the back of my seat  :furious

The majority of gun owners don't 'worry' about that either, Dolby.

I was going to mention this, but it seemed as if I would be belaboring that obvious :)

I know, but people really think it...

"You carry a gun with you?  You must be waiting for something to happen!"

How about NO!

It's akin to keeping jumper cables in the car, in case I need them.  It's a tool, only a tool for my protection.  People just don't get it, especially those who have never had to do so, or those who want to lap out of the government's drink bowl...

I know that my wife worries a lot less when taking the work deposit to the bank or when going on a girl's night out since she started carrying.  :D

Right!  :)

There are a lot of bad people in this world.  Being prepared doesn't equate to worrying about them.  Situational awareness does apply everywhere.  Worrying does not.
