Now for security I have a shotgun and a home security system.
After my house got robbed a few years ago I went for the full monty,alarm,video,all networked into my phone.My job is just 1.3 miles down the street.I can be home in no time.
nobody is as free as they want to be.
WWouldn't you feel more free if you weren't paranoid about burglary? -

AActually I'm pro gun/2nd amendment. Why you assume that? -

just a snap judgement I made from your username, and the post above referencing being paranoid about burglary
a lot of anti-gun people like to accuse gun owners of being overly paranoid, and I just thought I caught a whiff of that stench. -

He claimed to be as free as he wants to be. I challenged that by suggesting he isn't as free as he wants to be because he worries about burglary.
How do you judge my username? -
2015-09-19 at 9:17 PM UTCwell, a lot of leftists tend to think that they know more than the average person, and it is a very leftist thing to have a username exhorting the reader to 'open their mind', as if you were absolutely sure that their minds were closed before, and assuming that you have either the authority to command them to open their minds, or that your mind is much more open than theirs, or other such leftist chicanery.
you can see where I may have been mistaken in my assumptions -

I just thought it was hilarious when I picked it, for obvious reasons. It also reminds me to be more open minded.
But I don't think of myself as "leftist". -
2015-09-19 at 9:42 PM UTCGood, because leftists are generally terrible people. I make a grudging exception for Lanny.

Every group of right thinking people needs a liberal friend in order to keep their eye on the ball and their mind in the game. -

2015-09-20 at 11:18 AM UTCThe entire premise of government is basically this: take care of me, protect me, make decisions for me, tell me what to think and how to feel, stop me from hurting myself, make the bad things go away. Does anyone here realize just how lame, pathetic, cowardly and immature that really is? A person doesn't help himself by not standing on his own two feet. Nobody needs government, at all. In fact, it's exactly because of government that we're all living in the shithole world we're living in today.

Only dumb beta pussies are so scared of the world that they think literally every member of the citizenry needs to be able to murder at the drop of a hat. Like I always catch flack for having a Hobbesian outlook but you do too, you're just too oblivious to realize what it entails. -

Defending ones life is never murder. I don't believe in shooting looters or killing people for stealing stuff; but I see nothing wrong with a man or a woman defending their home, where they lay their head and raise their family, with lethal force.
