All violence is no good and a serious concern. I recently found out that a childhood friend got sent up the river to state prison for as long as fifteen years for attempted homicide, and he didn't need a gun in order to cause harm to others, which tells me guns aren't the problem. As usual, it is a ...
SpikeTalon replies on Apr 13, 2023:
@Julie808 People who own guns can own them for various reasons, and aside from hunting or protection there are also gun collectors and those who participate in the sport of target shooting, the latter of which I would fall under that category being I am not a hunter nor do I exclusively need a gun for protection or even collect them.
As for your claim regarding your friend who nearly killed his roommate over what amounted to a trivial issue, I'm skeptical that he would have fought fairer had there not been a gun around as when people get that intense with anger they generally act out violently in some way, and it's certainly within the realm of possibility that he could have used whatever else was laying around like say a big santoku knife, in which the end result could have been far more gruesome and even end in murder. At close range with a bladed weapon, one is not as likely to miss dealing a fatal blow as easily as could with a gun from a distance, and unlike in the movie depictions it's not always as easy as it seems to hit a target with a bullet from a distance, even a relatively short distance.
It sounds like your friend should have gotten help for his obvious anger issues, spend some time in therapy sessions. That's more or less an example of a social-based issue, someone who had a psychological/emotional hangup, but that time there just so happened to be a firearm present, and each year thousands of people are murdered with many other types of weapons like clubs, knives, crowbars etc. A shame something like that happened, he really should have gotten help if he was that prone to sudden and intense anger episodes. That's hardly the gun's fault though, as that happened to be the weapon that was the most handy at that time, so that's what got used.
So not sure what his reasons for owning a gun were, but not all gun owners own them for protection or hunting.

@Seriousreason Not long ago there was some member on here in the gun control group who had allegedly been raped when she was younger, complained about a case of self defense shooting in which the thug menacing others with his gun had in the past violently assaulted women. Said thug was shot dead on the spot. A sad day when a former rape victim damn near cries over a woman abuser getting his payback.

@laidback1 I see what you're saying, and do not disagree per se. Personally, I didn't get involved in that stuff strictly for the money, and considered it something for fun on the side. Had donated most of my tips to local organizations that benefitted women, namely a local health clinic and a women's self-defense organization (the latter I had directly participated in in my teens, helped my sensei with the monthly classes geared towards women's self-defense). Had the opportunity to meet some really interesting women that way.

@laidback1 I never engaged in prostitution (either paying for sex or taking money directly for sex in return), and
what I did do would have been considered something along the line of an erotic party caterer (who wore next to nothing, but still wore something).

@KKGator Both the leftwing sex deviants like the one mentioned above in the OP who believe nothing's wrong with pedophilia, and the rightwing theocratic fascists are annoying, so why not criticize both? I'll readily do so...
As someone who at one point in his life worked a side gig taking his clothes off to entertain women, I never would have thought to give a lap dance to any female under age eighteen, or for that matter engage in any sort of act with a minor that could have been considered sexual in nature. Lap dancing is considered adult entertainment, so let's leave that sort of thing for the adults. Also, it said the video was age restricted, and why do you suppose that is? Even YouTube, whose parent company Google tends to favor progressive left causes, found that video to be at least somewhat controversial, and that unto itself says alot.
Some guy wants to perform in a drag show that doesn't involve doing sexual acts with minors, all good, and I'm all in favor of them expressing themselves like that. Adults should be free to live their lives as they see fit and express themselves freely, but I draw the line on involving children in anything like that. I'd also defy any people like that to try to convince me otherwise. I disdain the holy babble due to the many references of adults sexually exploiting and abusing children, so why would I react any differently to frustrated wannabe-stripper adults who give lap dances to kids.

I am not a member of this group but from what I have seen from this fool is that his hatred towards anyone he disagrees with and his visceral obnoxious remarks in regards to religion and religious folks is so extreme and deranged it may indicate some serious mental issues .

The Covenant School tragedy shows how more prayers will never stop gun violence
SpikeTalon comments on Mar 28, 2023:
I've said this many times before and I'll say it again... looking at this matter from a strictly independent take and being as fair as I possibly can, both prayers and gun control laws are useless. The latter is useless as criminals and the mentally deranged have zero regard for what others have to ...
SpikeTalon replies on Mar 30, 2023:
@K9Kohle I get your point and you're not entirely wrong about that, but at least in some cases where certain individuals displayed obvious warning signs more could have probably been done to get them the help that they needed.
Depends on the size of the city or town in question, and the town that I grew up in had a fair share of gangs, although not as many as the city I live in now. That said, mental illness would be the far bigger concern between the two.
As for the last part, I agree. It's best to have armed resource officers on the scene and not arm the teachers, as I don't have that much trust for public school teachers nowadays. I just heard a story from NBC that stated the Nashville school shooter apparently had plans to target other schools but passed up on them due to those schools having far tighter security, which is also proof that deranged shooters go for the gun-free zones so as to make their planned murder sprees all the easier.

True, but that stuff doesn't affect everyone though. I grew up around guns and watched what would have been considered violent television shows and movies, and in my teens often played first-person shooter video games, and yet I didn't turn out violent. So there are exceptions.

@Archeus_Lore Nothing you shared was upsetting, I simply didn't take any of it seriously was all, and for good reason. Also, I don't have a problem with you pointing out corruption in our Government, but I do with the pro Putin propaganda. Why pick one over the other? Both are bad news in my opinion. When you approach someone in a confrontational way as you initially did, small wonder why you were met with hostility in return. Maybe next time present your "evidence" minus the sarcasm, and maybe more people would take you seriously.
Lastly, I've been a vocal critic of the Iraq War since day one. That said, I am not about to compare that fiasco with what Putin is doing now in Ukraine, and still contend the motivations behind those two are quite different.

@Archeus_Lore I have been met with similar evidence on other sites so I am hardly new to such, and said "evidence" is also a bunch of Kremlin-backed horseshit, and what makes you think I'd take any of that seriously? And just because you present something as evidence does not automatically mean it's actual evidence. Personally speaking and I've never made any secret of this, I don't trust any Government in the world ours included. I have no qualms in stating our Government is corrupt and in the past has committed questionable acts. Likewise, I have no problem accepting that Vladimir Putin is an evil tyrant bent on committing genocide against the Ukrainian people due to a longstanding grudge on his part.
What's the matter Shawn, someone doesn't go along with Kremlin propaganda is automatically wrong and somehow that means they must be closeted Christians or something? Oh please, spare me the Putin vatnik psycho babble, and worry not because I don't have any measure of respect for the "evidence" you presented either, so that makes us even. If what I previously mentioned really didn't concern you as much as you claimed then you never would have paid attention to it in the first place.

@Archeus_Lore Talking about America's past dealings in corruption does not in any way absolve the evil Putin is committing now over in Ukraine, and if by chance you think what Putin is doing in Ukraine is either no big deal or justified then I'll be forced to conclude what the US did in Iraq was also justified. Also, you're attempting to compare two very different incidents, with the US's actions in Iraq not being motivated by genocidal tendencies as Putin's motives in Ukraine are. So simply put if the US was wrong in Iraq, fair enough, but then what Putin is doing now is also wrong, that's being fair. Lastly, I don't deny there's corruption in our Government, of course there is, but that wasn't the subject of the OP though.

Greetings! I'm excited to share a new business idea I've been developing.

You want to start a chain? Before you can sell a franchise you probably should demonstrate a successful business model first.
SpikeTalon replies on Mar 18, 2023:
Garban's Garage sounds like a somewhat catchy name for a business. Not sure what you'd sell though, guess maybe used cars? Just a random thought there.

@Garban Hehe... I don't mind the pet names or nicknames like that, and I'll fully believe you if you say you are not a "baby boy". That said, glad to see you take a humorous road there. I can live with being called that, which... is better than getting called creepy or a troll simply for commenting on posts that may have been a bit dated. You haven't lost your sense of humor, and that's a good sign.

SpikeTalon replies on Mar 13, 2023:
@273kelvin The rights affirmed in the US Constitution, both enumerated (like in the 1st Amendment) and unenumerated (like a women's right to make her own reproductive choices). Actually, there's no shortage of criticism to go around where criticizing the politicians on that matter is concerned, but seeing that they get prosecuted for their decisions and actions is another matter and easier said than done. As for the last part of your reply, that sounds like a personal issue, and personally speaking I'm not glorifying the dead or even death itself, the OP above was simply meant to keep alive the memory of a wonderful person who I miss alot.

SpikeTalon replies on Mar 12, 2023:
@snytiger6 I get your point with the good guys with guns argument, but generally speaking there is a way to differentiate between the good and bad armed people... the former don't go around intimidating or threatening others while the latter do. For example, that shooting at an Indiana mall last summer... bystanders were aware that Elisjsha Dicken was not a threat by how he was acting. As for the argument that more guns will equal more deaths goes, I could make an argument that no guns present by law abiding citizens still equals death, and potentially lots of death. Why do you suppose crazed gunmen almost always pursue places like schools or shopping malls, because they know chances are high they would not be met with any serious confrontation. Given the fact how schools are supposed to be gun free zones, that sure doesn't stop deranged gunmen from opening fire in schools, and when sure situations occur who do we call for help to neutralize the threat? You guessed it, they call for the police, who come equipped with guns themselves to deal with the threat. Sure, that may include death, but that would be the death(s) of a serious threat, so can't say I'd think such deaths would qualify as a tragedy.
Even if California has roughly ten percent population of the whole country, if their laws worked as intended then there would be considerably less to no such crimes, but that's not the case.
That be your choice as to whether or not to own a gun, and I can surely respect that, but not all of us gun owners own guns primarily for self defense, as there are other reasons for owning them. I have mine mostly for recreational target shooting, and my secondary consideration would be that I'm a collector. Although I do live in a rough city with a considerable rate of crime, for the most part I am not concerned about someone breaking into my residence.
Regarding the last part of your comment that property can always be replaced, I have to disagree, there are exceptions. For instance, the box that holds my father's ashes, if someone were to steal that and for some reason I would never have been able to track down who was responsible for that, that item could not be replaced. That's just one example and I probably could think of more. Also, just because you made a choice to not get confrontational with an armed intruder does not automatically mean that you would end up surviving the ordeal. Over the years I've heard of far too many stories of robbery victims complying with the robber's demands only to get shot dead afterwards anyways. It only stands to reason that if someone was bold enough to hold you at gunpoint, they might end up being bold enough to shoot you after they get what they wanted from you. Some armed robbers like that probably don't want to let live...

SpikeTalon replies on Mar 11, 2023:
@snytiger6 That depends on the source one goes by for the information, and according to the neutral and reliable source Statista so far this year there has been technically 13 mass shootings, a far cry from what some of the gun control advocates would have us believe. Those mass shootings you were alluding to above that seemingly occur on a daily basis, as actually random shootings that see less than four deaths and thankully alot of times no actual fatalities at all. I'm going by the Government metric by the way in determining what constitutes a mass shooting and not from sources like the Gun Violence Archive which is a rather slanted special interest group that tends to promote excess fear and paranoia on that subject. It appears the worst mass shooting so far this year occured in California, which has some of the most restrictive gun control laws on the books.
When comparing with other countries, also have to keep in mind that alot of them are not dealing with high levels of depression substance abuse and mental illness like our country is, which in turn continues to factor into the random acts of violence that are becoming more common. Per day across the country there are many attacks across the country using other weapons like clubs and knives, yet for curious reasons we don't seem to keep track of those violent acts like we do when guns are involved. Nevermind the fact that with today's technological advances it's far easier for one to craft their own 3D-printed weapons if they have access to the right tools, and books such as the Anarchist Cookbook that are widely available on the Net that instructs people how to make homemade weapons. That, and how relatively easy it is for street gangs to lift weapons from cop cars or local Guard bases, which a number of years ago I knew a few guys who used to do just that. In the end, you can make laws designed to curb random acts of violence committed with firearms, but the criminal element doesn't have much regard for said laws though, and the criminal element along with the rising numbers of cases of mental illnesses has proven to be a bad combination for our country.

SpikeTalon replies on Mar 11, 2023:
Why of course not Mister Skado, it's all about them there emotions, and being compelled to go with one choice or the other with no other choice in between. Afterall, reading for alot of folks these days is too bothersome, and why read a somewhat lengthy (albeit probably informative) article when you could always opt for a catchy meme instead! We've accomplished quite a bit through meme activism, just look at the progress that was made on women's reproductive rights, and it's not like reproductive rights have been under any sort of serious assault recently, right? Meh what the heck, let's just meme some more and forget about the heavy reading stuff, as I'm positive everything will just work out in the end so no worries who gets elected to positions of high authority.
Joking aside, this post introduced me to The Cut, had never heard of them before. Upon doing a little research on them, it appears they may be a bit of a sketchy source at times- https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-cut/
That said, the point raised in the article linked to above did raise a valid concern, and one that was obviously not heeded. For sure, Biden's past record on abortion rights has been less than desirable, and if I'm not mistaken he recently made a questionable comment on that matter, which makes one wonder just how friendly he truly is towards that important individual right.

Why of course not Mister Skado, it's all about them there emotions, and being compelled to go with one choice or the other with no other choice in between. Afterall, reading for alot of folks these days is too bothersome, and why read a somewhat lengthy (albeit probably informative) article when you could always opt for a catchy meme instead!

@FrayedBear Go to settings and look for Connections, and under Connections there should be an option called More Connection Settings that you need to click on. Under that tab you should see options like VPN DNS and nearby device scanning. Click the DNS option and select Private DNS, after which you could input the new DNS address.

I have no intention to impinge upon your grief but a few phrases stuck in my mind from your post. "Murdered by terrorists" hit me 1st. Now I have known people murdered by terrorists in Belfast and Manchester. Different decades and causes but both were just ordinary people going about their business....
SpikeTalon replies on Mar 10, 2023:
Someone(s) who craft roadside bombs with the intention to kill many others sounds rather terroristic to me.
As for the part on her fighting for every American's individual rights... that was in her own words about a year or so before she was killed, and she was talking about our Constitutional rights, both numerated and unenumerated rights at that. For example, Ashly absolutely abhorred selective abortion procedures, yet she still thought she was doing the right thing and believed everyone had the right to make their own decisions regardless if whether or not she may have disagreed.
As for the last part of your comment, easier said than done, and the politicians who were responsible for such catastrophic decisions are well shielded from prosecution and also mere criticism for the most part. I'm not one of those people who ignores the veterans who are struggling to survive after they get out of the Armed Forces, and in the past have donated generously to a local rescue mission helping homeless vets. Of course, that sort of terrible thing is bound to happen when the Government gets final say on such matters, widespread abuses. The politicians from both the Democratic and Republican Parties should lose their comfy jobs and go straight to jail, but that's not going to happen anytime soon though.

@MerlinZap I'm liberal myself. No, this site is predominately a site of progressive idealists who pretend to be liberal all the while acting similar in nature to the conservatives, in the sense that the progressives disdain facts just like conservatives do whenever said facts contradict viewpoints they wish to be true. Also, the real liberals stay open-minded and think for themselves, and avoid the groupthink mentality. This post was a good example... funny how before Musk tookover Twitter and started questioning the Democrat's motives seemingly every progressive activist out there started in with the anti-Musk memes, and for what reason exactly? Because other progressives told them to, of course. So much for thinking for oneself, and both the far-left and far-right always need a boogeyman of the sorts in which to vent their frustration out on.

Ukraine is now recruiting women and children to fight, so who's really sending human waves to certain death?
SpikeTalon replies on Mar 8, 2023:
@puff That's because the country is now in lockdown due to the continuing conflict, and to think none of that would have even occured if Putin hadn't invaded Ukraine to begin with. That's because Zelensky is intelligent enough to realize that Putin cannot be negotiated with regardless of what Putin may say to the contrary. Putin started the conflict, and Zelensky wants to end it, sounds like fair play to me. When it comes to being a homicidal madman, Zelensky is a fuzzy Playboy bunny compared to what Putin is capable of.

While DX HR was a good one, I'd recommend the one that started it all, Deus Ex Game of the Year edition. Afterwards, and not sure if you can get this for PS3 or not, but the Deus Ex game mod Revision is also highly recommended.
Actually, think I'd recommend the original F.E.A.R. before DX Human Revolution even. The prequels and the sequel for Deus Ex fell dreadfully short of the creativity of the original. DX Invisible War was the worst one. F.E.A.R. had an interesting mix of first-person shooting action with elements of the paranormal, never played a game quite like that one before.

By and large Ukrainian women have volunteered to defend their country, and there has been no credible reports of any sort indicating that the Ukrainian armed forces are using children in combat, which sounds like Kremlin propaganda. Alot of volunteer fighters in Ukraine, the same cannot be said of the Russian side who are using desperate criminals who really don't want to fight in the first place but pretty much don't have a choice to say no.
