@Captnron59 Interesting comments. I don't have statistics, but I am pretty sure that most gun owners do not live in isolated houses where they have to defend themselves against wild animals. Some statistics reveal that many criminal activities show some connection with guns. Now it could be argued that "criminal", whoever they might be, also just want to defend themselves against the tyranny of the state which would make them your allies. Thank you ... you give me more food for thought.

PontifexMarximus replies on Aug 30, 2018:

Excellent point ... this was the reason for me to raise the issue. Just as most bible basher have extremely limited knowledge of their own bible.

PontifexMarximus replies on Aug 30, 2018:

Thank you for your comment. I adore your defence of the constitution ... "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." I am not sure whether the gunsters really have profound knowledge of the constitution. I suspect that many just repeat what you just wrote without ever checking the original text. I also suspect that many US citizens have rather limited knowledge of the rights people have in other countries. As a matter of fact there is a perception outside the US of A that most Americans have extremely limited knowledge of the rest of the world.

Defenders of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution and shooting sports enthusiasts. This group does NOT believe in so-called "sensible" gun control measures, so debating within this group shall be kept to a minimum. A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Your tag line "Defenders of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution and shooting sports enthusiasts. This group does NOT believe in so-called "sensible" gun control measures, so debating within this group shall be kept to a minimum.“ The wording of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." My invitation to people to voice their opinion has little to do with censorship. It is your opposition to sensible gun control measures and your reminder that debating should be kept to a minimum that justifies, in my opinion, the label extremist. Your allusion to the instinct of self-defence has very little to do with the issue of owning guns and the ”right" to use them is somewhat ludicrous. The process of obtaining a gun is a rather rational and controlled act which has absolutely nothing to do with an instinctual reaction to an imminent threat unless one grabs a gun that happens to be within reach while the threat of an attack is present.

I remember once meeting one of those characters that seems to have been conceived in the ink tank of a writer on LSD: 6'8" thin like a fishing rod on a diet, shoulder long white hair, I diamond in one of his incisors, an Akubra hat riding a hellish looking motorbike with his 80 year-old mom as a pillion passenger. He went to a circus and asked for the elephant shit. They told him: "Take all the shit you want!" ... He put lacquer on the shits and sold them. OK ... It was still shit, but he turned the pachyderm dung into a shitload of money.

I’m not the slightest bit bothered about anyone’s ethnic background in any context. All that matters is what the individual is like. So I find the question a bit odd.

@Marcie1974 wow ... Somehow your comment seems Ti express a degree of anger ... "take a hooker!" ... The Asian women I had the pleasure to be with were just naturaaly good livers ... body size certainly gives many an advantage over their usually much heavier caucasian counterparts ... i am the father of two Caucasian females .. but they ate of normal proportions ... In Australia it has become extremely difficult to find females abover 45 that are sexually attractive. Droves of men are thus attracted to Asia! Check with a car body repairshop to find out aboyt "hail damage" ... then check the Urban Dictionary ... Nature is cruel and unfair!

PontifexMarximus replies on Aug 11, 2018:

@pepperjones at the time several years ... Sometimes she would calm me late at night and come over to listen to some music. we'd talk .. I guess she had a bit of a vicious plan. I was madly in love with a very cute but married woman from China 2.0 (PR) my landlady was from China 1.0 (Taiwan). I think she was jealous because I had known her earlier. We never had any intimate exchange. I guess she was hoping that my gf would rock up and find us naked together in the bathtub or bed. How credible would my explanation have been??? Just have a bath and a body rub!!! At some stage the bather had asked me whether I wanted to live with her in the same house. She actually repeated the bathing request twice. Once I accepted. That was when her pubic hair had regrown. The third time I refused. Shortly thereafter she asked me to move out.

Happy Friday! I thought I'd share my experience, if that's ok.

PontifexMarximus replies on Aug 10, 2018:

@pepperjones no ... She was very weird ... We were sort of friends, I was renting one of her houses. One nigh she rocked up and asked me weather I had cleaned the bathtub. "Strange hour for a home inspection," I thought. I replied in the affirmative. "Really well?" Again I replied in the affirmative. Finally she said:"I want to take a bath." I gave the bath an scrubbing and ran her a bath. She then went in and I went into my room. "Do you want to join me?" Somewhat reluctantly I agreed and joined her. We had never been that close. I had seen her in her underwear when she asked me to join her on a shopping spree. She try a dress in a change room and invite me to check it out and into another dress in front of me. But I had never seen her naked let alone exposed her to my naked self. There we were sitting in the same bathtub facing each other. When I ventured with my finger to touch her pussy, she gently pushed it away. So I refrained from any further intimate touch. After the bath she wanted to be massaged. The only suitable surface was my bed. I somewhat reluctantly agreed. She took her handbag and pulled out a container with some body lotion and lied face down on my bed.. After sliding my hands over her back I asked her whether she also wanted to front of her body massaged/rubbed. I hadnt't even reached the question mark when she turned over very swiftly. So I was sitting astride her waist and began rubbing the lotion on her neck and breasts. I must admit I felt surprisingly unaroused. Then I placed myself between her thighs and placed my hands under her back and rhythmically lifted her lower back which brought her pussy precariously close to my mouth. It was wide open and utterly dry. She got dressed and left.

Happy Friday! I thought I'd share my experience, if that's ok.

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 10, 2018:

I guess *pansophism* and *pantheism* are such terms but the latter includes "theism" ... The *pantheistic* philosophy differs from other *theisms* significantly since it sees nature as the Devine.
