67 In all honesty I eschew violence. Not for any deep philosophical reason or from squeamishness, but because I used
|
|
68 to be a very violent person. It took my nearly killing someone to make me go through the years of therapy it took
|
|
69 to make me the relatively peaceful man I am now. I used no gun, I nearly ripped his lower jaw off with my bare hands.
|
|
70 I'm no great bruiser, either: 5ft 7in and 155lbs after a heavy meal. I suppose my point is that the problem isn't
|
|
71 gun control, it's SELF control. As long as there are individuals in a society who are unwilling to take adult r
|
|
72 responsiblilty for their actions, there will be killing and maiming, whether from crime, auto accidents, or
|
|
73 whatever. The solution must begin in the way we raise our children.
|

74 && The Mad Actor &&
|
|
75 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
|
76 Ahh yes -- this discussion has run it's course. I must agree with the
|
|
77 mad actor -- there are no dangerous weapons, only dangerous people. Society
|
|
78 has a number of more or less effective ways of instilling "proper" behaviour
|
|
79 in children, but the majority of their behaviour is taught by their peers. If
|
|
80 their peers esteem behaviour that you or I would not like, tough, that's what
|
|
81 they learn. Churches used to teach morality and the "correct" behaviour, but
|
|
82 if a child is sent to a fundamentalist church he seems to be taught that any
|
|
83 questioning of a serious nature is sinful and will send him to hell. Slammed
|
|
84 in the face with that, most kids cave in. With more maturity, comes a reaction
|
|
85 against that type of church. (I'm getting over mine -- I can tolerate the
|
|
86 vocally religous now, but with distaste.)
|
|
87 Well folk -- time for a new topic, a new adventure or whatever. As stated
|
|
88 before, If needed to get a topic going, I'll take either side of an issue.
|
|
89 Some of the best discussions that I have been involved in were those that
|
|
90 I held a side other than the one I would have chosen out of conviction.

|
94 Ever notice that no matter what we choose to discuss here it always gets back
|
|
95 to religion? I thought we had gone over that subject with a fine tooth comb.
|
|
96 But now I see that even Gun control is the job of the Church! When, oh when
|
|
97 will people be responsible for themselves and get rid of all the mumbo-jumbo of
|
|
98 organized religion!!!! What we need are enforceable laws and ways to enforce
|
|
99 them to put the fear of MAN into the criminal. As I said before and it bears
|
|
100 repeating "Anyone caught with an unliscenced firearm (hand or otherwise)
|
|
101 would face a mandatory sentance with no hope of parole or plea bargaining."
|
|
102 Those using a weapon (regardless of type) in the commision of a crime would
|
|
103 automatically be guilty of a felony and should get ten to life. We must remembe
|
|
104 that even the worst criminal wants his freedom and I feel that a certain
|
|
105 justice is the only deterent.

109 we will have trouble. & until we have had them in effect for quite a while

131 The Battle Hymn of the Ranapublic (words: John Boardman)
|
|
132 Mine ears have heard the croaking of the Giant Barded Frogs.
|
|
133 They are swimming through the marshes, they are leaping over logs.
|
|
134 They are eagerly devouring people, vampire bats, and dogs,
|
|
135 As they go hopping on!
|
|
136 Chorus:Glory, glory, ribbit, ribbit! (note: ribbits are spoken,not sung)
|
|
137 Glory, glory, ribbit, ribbit!
|
|
138 Glory, glory, ribbit, ribbit!
|
|
139 As they go hopping on!
|
|
140 Their hides are leather shields on which a sword has never stung.
|
|
141 They have claws upon the forefeet, they have barbs upon the tongue
|
|
142 With which they torture women who are sensitive and young,
|
|
143 As they go hopping on!
|
|
144 CHORUS
|
|
145 They have armor-plated eyeballs and their teeth are made of brass,
|
|
146 Their breath corrodes titanium, their voices shatter glass,
|
|
147 They shoot snake venom from their jaws and napalm out their ass,
|
|
148 As they go hopping on!
|
|
149 CHORUS
|
|
150 They'll jump a seven-meter fence, they'll float like a ballon.
|
|
151 They'll swim like Flipper's brothers and they're fast as a typhoon.
|
|
152 In fact, they say that Armstrong found a couple on the Moon,
|
|
153 As they go hopping on!
|
|
154 CHORUS

|
155 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|
156 Notes: Barded is an old term for "armored"

164 I haven't been on the Electric Ark much since it changed

165 format, but I some messages before that about it going to be

166 part of a network of computers around the country that send
|
|
167 information around and automatically or something like that.
|
|
168
|
|
169 There was also a message that the system sometimes runs
|
|
170 some sort of artificial intelligence programs that acts like
|
|
171 a person asking questions and responding to what the user is
|
|
172 typing. All that goes on is stored and can be read by people
|
|
173 on the system. I may have gotten that a little confused it's
|
|
174 been a few months ago. That's all I can tell you except that

175 I think there are some people here on the backwater that can

182 THERE ISN'T MUCH MORE TO BE SAID, SINCE IT'S ALREADY ALL BEEN SAID. HOW
|

183 ABOUT PARALLEL UNIVERSES? FOR INSTANCE- A FRIEND OF MINE USED TO KEEP
|
|
184 THE KEY TO HIS MOTORCYLCE LOOSE FROM THE REST OF HIS KEYS. ONE NIGHT
|
|
185 AFTER GETTIN TO WORK HE DROPPED THE KEY UPON A CEMENT RAMP LEADING UP TO
|
|
186 THE DOORS OF THE BUILDING. "TING!" AND THAT WAS THE LAST HE SAW OF THE KEY
|
|
187 FOR THREE AND ONE HALF WEEKS. WE SEARCHED ABOUT 40 SQUARE FEET, DRAGGED A
|
|
188 MAGNET ON THE GROUND AND EVEN CONTEMPLATED BORROWING A METAL DETECTOR. NO
|
|
189 SUCH LUCK AND NO KEY. THEN ONE NIGHT THE BOSS CAME ALONG AND ASKED AL IF
|
|
190 HE HAD LOST A MOTORCYCLE KEY. "WHY, YES SAID AL, "BUT WE LOOKED ALL OVER
|
|
191 AND COULDN'T FIND IT!" "WELL BEGAN THE BOSS, " IFOUND THIS BIKE KEY LAYING
|
|
192 ON THE RAMP JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR." NOW, CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THAT KEY
|
|
193 JJUST LANDED ON THE CEMENT AND VANISHED? WE ALWAYS WALKED VERY CAREFULY
|
|
194 ON THAT RAMP AFTER THAT. AFTER ALL, FALLING THROUGH A TIME DISCONTINUITY

203
|
|
204 CYM,
|
|
205 There have been many studies ( references available ) to determine if
|
|
206 strict penaltys and mandantory prison terms have any "deterrence factor".
|
|
207 In crimes that have been premeditated the effect has been moderate to marginal
|
|
208 and in crimes of "passion", the condition that most firearm related crimes
|
|
209 occure , the violent act has happened with little regard to the penaltys
|
|
210 attached to the crime. Consider two hypothetical cases .
|
|
211 1. Average man comes home finds wife in a compromising situation with
|
|
212 a dwarf, two pygmies and a donkey....in a fit of rage he shoots them all.
|
|
213 2. Deranged Satanist methodically kills three Benedictine monks with a
|
|
214 shotgun over a period of three months .
|
|
215 Should both receieve the same sentence ? Should there be any consideration
|
|
216 in either case as to motive ? Sanity ( temporary or otherwise ) ?
|
|
217 Are they guilty of 1st Degree ?
|
|
218 2nd Degree ?

|
|
251 lead to an unhappy inn, and I don't think a giant frog, regardless of its

252 stature, is going to save us! Come on bold people! Raise up your swords, or
|

253 blasters, or songbooks, or pipes, let us again make another temptous journey

254 into the unknown, where danger lurks around every corner!

333 wicked tounge lashing by CYM. Then we make you listen to baby

335 you must cross the room amid mindless banter from gun control
|

388 All: maybe a new topic (if not computer control)...say, the trend of

389 today's youth. (being a member of that persuation, i will rephrase..)
|
|
390 The trend (of most of) todays youth (in the direction of self-destruction).
|
|
391 Has anyone recently had the displeasure of riding TRI-MET? Game for some
|
|
392 extra credit for anthropology 101? RIDE IN THE FAR BACK (on a decently
|
|
393 travelled line...) what is this collection of organisms that lurk back here?
|
|
394 Examples of the future of the vast majority of today's young.....devolution.
|
|
395 sorry "de-evolution"...ignorant, rude, 100% motivated by their visceral
|
|
396 sensations...or in good 'ol prude notation, PUNKS. What percentage of youth
|
|
397 today are Punks? 50%? 75%? who knows?? they want to grow up to be welders.
|
|
398 (ooops, sorry MIG, forgot about ENTER ONLY) rephrase: they want to be
|
|
399 any sort of grungy low tech profession that will support thier drug and
|
|
400 alcohol habits. are they the product of their peer influence? TV? parents?
|
|
401 Now, in the spirit of fair play and BW (and piper), i will, from this
|

402 point on, advocate the pro-punk viewpoint......

411 Aaron -- Gulp! No, I've never ridden Tri-Met. (The closest line runs
|
|
412 about 3 miles from my home.) But to be consistent I need to research that
|
|
413 group don't I? Ah -- a quote to the rescue --
|
|
414 "Consistency is the bugaboo of small minds."
|
|
415 --- (help! I've heard Emerson for this but don't have the source!)
|
|
416 I love it!! I don't care who said it!! I get to stay off the back of the
|
|
417 bus!! No extra costs (Tri-Met doesn't go anywhere that I do.)
|
|
418 If you care to research the subject I would be most interested in hearing
|

419 your findings. Anything to stay off the back of the bus!!

420 Bard and Apprentice-- I wiil try to get to the meeting on Saturday. I
|
|
421 have no bizzare identifying features. Will that make me stand out enough?
|
|
422 I no longer have a wearable kilt ... I suppose I could wear spats, but they
|

423 don't work as well for rain as sand. Shall I throw my pipes in the truck?

429 Believe me piper, you really should do everything to keep off the bus.
|
|
430 I have to ride tri met regularly (probably punishment for a past life)
|
|
431 and stay far away from the front as possible. Especially during rush
|
|
432 hour. I ride west side lines so most of them aren't all that bad,
|

433 but you can imagine what it's like (or maybe you're lucky and you

434 can't)

438 to tell DMV that your address is c/o Goodgulf the wizard, route 2, Inisfall?
|
|
439 The rear portions of these conveyances are indeed strange, and their

440 denizens wondrous. I frequently find myself wondering about them! I have on

478 Friends:
|
|
479
|
|
480 Frederich Neitzsche said it best in his 1910 book The Will To
|
|
481 Power.
|
|
482
|
|
483 "...the fundemental tendency of the weak and
|
|
484 mediocre of all time, has been to enfeeble the
|
|
485 strong and to reduce them to the level of the
|
|
486 weak: their chief weopon in this process was the
|
|
487 moral principle."
|
|
488
|
|
489 Neitzsche, Schopenhauer, Machiavelli, along with most
|
|
490 western philosophers, acknowledge that lust for power
|
|
491 is the motivating force behind history.
|
|
492
|
|
493 From Genghis Khan cutting a swath of death and destruction
|
|
494 through western civilization, to Hitler burning the
|
|
495 Reichstag, to the Argentine terrorism of Mario Firmenich,
|
|
496 the principle remains the same.
|
|
497
|
|
498 History rewards those who rise above the moral principle to
|
|
499 achieve their destinies through violence and deceit.
|
|
500
|
|
501 The history of our nation is the history of war. The
|
|
502 revolution, the civil war, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam...these
|
|
503 are the markers, the chapters, that define who we are, what
|
|
504 we're up to,...and why.
|
|
505
|
|
506 Our prosperity, our freedom, our position in the world, are
|
|
507 built and maintained by our willingness to use a military
|
|
508 reign of terror. We can not deny that we support the most
|
|
509 costly military establishment in the history of the world.
|
|
510 And we are prepared to use it; we are using it now.
|
|
511
|
|
512 Death and devastation are our national policy, our purpose,
|
|
513 our destiny...and you don't have to miss out on it.
|
|
514
|
|
515 I can give you a real deal on a half million AK assault
|
|
516 rifles, ammunition enough for a medium sized invasion, and
|
|
517 the technical assistance to get your army into the field.
|
|
518
|
|
519 This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
|
|
520
|
|
521 Here's your chance to fulfill your destiny, demonstrate your
|
|
522 manliness, while impressing girls with your snazzy new uniform.
|
|
523 Military chic is IN. It's guys in uniform that get laid...don't
|
|
524 miss out on the action.
|
|
525
|
|
526 Getting started in the exciting career of pillage and plunder
|
|
527 is not as difficult as you might think.
|
|
528
|
|
529 Fielding your own army merely involves placing thirty-six and
|
|
530 a half million dollars, plus your business card, in a brown
|
|
531 suitcase and placing it in locker 27 at the bus station.
|
|
532
|
|
533 If someone has beaten you to locker 27 you can also use either
|
|
534 38, 42, or 59.
|
|
535
|
|
536 Upon receiving the cash I will promptly set you off on your
|
|
537 new life of high adventure. Your life will never be the same.

552 Leroy Mckane: Your offer might be tempting, but you seem to have gotten
|
|
553 yourself caught up in your old glory, and are neglecting the issues of
|
|
554 modern warfare. A conventional war CAN NOT be won with guns alone. Our
|
|
555 past experiences in warfare have proved that to win a war, superior air
|
|
556 power is a must. Also the ability to keep vital supply lines open. A
|
|
557 little defoliant is handy too, just don't spray your own men, or you'll
|
|
558 have a class action suit against you! A mobile quick-to-action unit is
|
|
559 also desireable. How about a fleet of tactical submarines, to wreck havoc
|
|
560 with enemy shipping, not to mention for spying purposes. What about
|
|
561 armoured support. Ground troops can be cut down without proper support
|
|
562 from heavy machinery. And you seemed to have left out artillery. Certainly
|
|
563 one of the most important options in today's conventional war. And last
|
|
564 but not least, several thousand Iranian children to act as mine sweepers
|
|
565 for advancing infantry. I'll tell you after watching a little Iraqi TV,
|
|
566 the results are certainly effective. I don't mean to criticize your offer,
|
|
567 but please in the future don't try to sell a war without backing it up
|
|
568 with some substantial forces behind it. Sure the price may go up, but
|
|
569 as we all know, "War may be hell, but it is also sure as hell expensive!"
