I am supporting gun REGULATION Laws effect law abiding citizens. Do criminals abide by laws msharmony? Regulation is just another word for law . . . right?
sure is and laws with penalties deter people from doing things they may otherwise do If I decide to kill someone, I won't be too worried about a law that says I can't use a gun to do it. 
Im sure it wouldnt. Yet its nice that we try to set standards for the law abiding majority to try and uphold. You know my best friend may be alive if she was allowed by law to carry a gun without having to ask the government permission. its personal to you, so the debate is futile I still believe they are too dangerous a tool to hand out indiscriminately |

Nature granted us the right to own weapons, do Governments have the right to take away something granted by nature, without just cause? nature didnt grant 'rights' rights are a man made concept to define those things they feel should be available to all merely for being human |

it is a much rarer incident (and Im giving the benefit of the doubt that it happens at all) that a fire extinguisher ACCIDENTALLY causes death because of the nature of the process required to activate and use it in the first place
This fact does not illustrate your point unfortunately.
it is also much rarer that an extinquisher was built for any purpose of TAKING life ,,,very unlike GUNS,,,, Are you saying becuase guns are more dangerous than fire-extinguishers that one tool should be allowed while the other is not? Because automobiles are far more dangerous statistically than either. Do you see how this is not a logical approach? Also we run into the fact that we do not have complete control over the environment. So the dangers of the environment do not change becuase we make a law saying you cant own a particular tool or not. Those that do not abide the law will own them, and the environment remains dangerous. So not only is your argument not logical it does not affect the desired outcome either. it is also much rarer that an extinquisher was built for any purpose of TAKING life Here is the real objection. Guns purpose. Well the purpose of a gun is at the owners discretion, the same with all tools.
Until my best friend was murdered my only use for a gun was target practice, I never carried it, I like many didn't think it could happen to me or my group of friends and family. So at that time my purpose in having a gun was not to kill. Now my purpose is to defend my friends, family, and myself. Not kill. STOP violent aggression. owning/having a gun is a choice, its not a necessity I have not suggested banning guns, I am supporting gun REGULATION because a gun in an unstable hand (whether documented or not) is more dangerous, IMHO, than them not having a gun at all because there is greater risk of harm to INNOCENT people the mroe tools of destruction are floating around.... you arent going to have fewer calories by baking more pies, thats the long and short of it even if you want to make some of them just for decoration, the law of averages says,, the more bullets the more POTENTIAL for people to be harmed,,, |

Tipping has gotten out of control and you are all just paying someone to do their job THATS RIGHT. YOU ARE. Imagine that paying someone to do there job, where else in the market is that done pft.
Here is the rub buddy. If we changed the way waiters and waitresses get paid the cost of the dinner would go up by that amount. Maybe we should. But then instead of a 10 dollar meal it would be 15, or even more. More and more businesses are adding a mandatory gratuity to the bill, good for them! If you dont like it, DONT patronize the establishment. It really is that simple. I'm saying, pay them more than 2.50 an hour and quit basing their pay on the variables of the industry. A waiter at a hole in the wall shouldn't make less money than someone doing the same job working just as hard at an upscale restraunt. I find it to be flawed logic and I don't believe in tipping. If I'm there for an hour and leave a $10 tip, if I'm the only table they had, thats $10 an hour. Meanwhile, the dishwasher is making, whats minimum wage now, like $7. He doesn't get tip share, is his job less important? Do customers not care about clean dishes, silverware, and cookware? Maybe he will get a raise if he stays around long enough and does a good job, that's the way it works. The dishwasher shouldn't get stiffed because his pay comes from the employer and not the customer directly. A waiter's job should not be based on what the customer is willing to pay but on what the employer is willing to pay. If they don't like that I don't tip, they can take it up with their employer, the person that is suppose to be supplying their income. Its just not clear cut, and when you ask questions you tend to find answers matter. I agree with msharmony service should be separate from food. Great tips are an incentive to serve to a high degree. There are pro's with a tipping system both for the waiter and for those being served. The people who dont tip, or pull stuff like the OP was about either do not understand these facts, or are indeed . . . hmm how to put it . . . not nice people. I consider myself nice but I dont tip when service is lacking. |

nature gave cats claws we gave ourselves weapons Nature give us massive brains to compensate for our lack of claws, lack of fangs, relative weakness due to our fine motor skills, soft skin, lack of fur and generally powerful but wide spectrum senses. Nature (or God) intended for us to make and use weapons and armor. ok anything thats possible is therefore 'natural' by this definition,,,, but I disagree with that definition Weather or not you see humanity's innovation as a natural extension of our intellect is irrelevant to the equation. The equation has the dangerous environment on one side. and The other side has our behaviors. If you want to walk around in a dangerous environment where humans have guns without being appropriately armed yourself then you are making dangerous decisions for you and your family. It is my opinion that the reason anyone does this is either they have convinced themselves the environment is not dangerous, or they somehow think it cant be them, or their family. Magical thinking, or wishful thinking. Your choice. I think they are the same. A fire extinguisher is really no different than a gun. On one side of the equation you have the fact that houses catch fire, why they catch fire is not relevant, the fact that you cannot with %100 certainty prevent your house from catching fire means this fact includes you. On the other side you have your behaviors which can include keeping a fire extinguisher everywhere you may need it. Same with a gun. The concept is not different. The application is not different. We humans use tools to affect outcomes. it is a much rarer incident (and Im giving the benefit of the doubt that it happens at all) that a fire extinguisher ACCIDENTALLY causes death because of the nature of the process required to activate and use it in the first place it is also much rarer that an extinquisher was built for any purpose of TAKING life ,,,very unlike GUNS,,,, |

I disagree. The customer pays one price for the food which can be counted toward what the 'kitchen' staff make.
They pay another price for service, and service varies alot more than food on the menu,,, so the tip for service is just as flexible... |

I dont compare our environment to the wilderness, The wilderness has nothing to do with this.
My examples can be seen as conceptual. Claws are a cats weapon. Weapons are the concept, that is all that matters. The gun is just the best weapon a human can have and the weapon of choice by the criminal who can afford one. Environment means more than the woods. LOL A fish in an aquarium; the environment is the aquarium A Bear in the woods, the range the Bear takes through the woods is its environment. A person's environment is every place that person would find themselves in the totality of the persons existence. I am surprised I have to explain this. you dont have to,, cats were given claws we were given brains to develop and physiques with muscles that can also cause quite a bit of damage we were given NATURAL attributes for our protection,just like a cat a weapon is not a NATURAL attribute so the comparison was lacking IMHO as to protection, Im not against it, Im just against giving it to anyone and everyone regardless of whether they are capable of handling it emotionally or physically,,,, Humans got the short end of the stick for self-defense, if you zero out intelligence. If you count human intelligence as part of our self defense, then the use of tools for self defense (weapons) is perfectly natural. That means, there is nothing more natural that a large caliber pistol in your hand.
nature gave cats claws we gave ourselves weapons |

people are not born with guns attached they can choose to have them and use them,they can choose to take self defense,they can choose to have a knife, a taser, mase,,,whatever protection they wish but I have yet to hear of a drive by knifing, karate chopping, or even clawing,,,killing multiple people in a matter of seconds,,, guns are a different matter than mere (one on one)'defense' , they should be regulated as the mass killing machines they are I laugh when someone says they carry a knife for protection. 9 times out of 10 your just going to get it taken from you and get it used against you. 
its only true if you dont know how to USE it, similar to a gun the difference is, its hard for 'innocent' bystanders to pay the price for such ineptitude,,, |

Side stepping the real issue is not productive. I dont compare our environment to the wilderness, and declawing a cat is taking action against their NATURAL state unlike regulating guns,,, |

I guess its akin to a yin yang outlook of balance , but in terms of human beings , do you feel there is a male/female balance that makes all of us more 'complete' and healthy,,,?
what I mean is, being that we are the combination of a male and female from conception, is it possible or probable that our healthiest state will be one with a balance of the male/female ego,,where our gender dictates which may dominate? As a single parent, raised by a mother and father, I do believe chidlren benefit most from having that male and female ego nurtured by having a male constant and a female constant in their life. As the mother of both a boy and a girl, I believe I can raise both of them to be good people, but where I can teach my daughter about becoming a WOMAN, I can never teach my son about becoming a MAN the way a MAN could. Do single parents with a child of the opposite gender feel your child benefits/would benefit from having that gender as an equal influence in their life? Should single moms, for instance, make room for a man to HELP them raise a boy into a man and do we sell our young men short if we dont give them that advantage? |
