way to totally derail what should have been an interesting zombie thread :(

Sorry, wasn't me, check back, schniederguy started it by trolling about me.

Make marriage licenses for gay couples cost $100000000000000.

They're available, and you have a right to them.

But no one has a chance to buy one.

That's OK?

I didn't say it was OK, but they still have the right even if they don't have the capacity. I have the right to own a Bugatti Veyron, even though I can't afford one.

Yeah... I didn't say that either, you have a very odd inability to understand statements people have made.

You're strange.

Schneiderguy,you DID misunderstand him - he doesn't deny that we women have the right to defend ourselves. He is merely denying us the right to do it in an effective manner.

And HAL, in all honesty there is a slim chance that I could defend myself against an attacker without a gun, but it would still have to culminate in my killing him because for a woman 5'3" to attempt to merely render an attacker helpless is incredibly stupid.

Yep. True on both accounts.

Then how do you propose to defend yourself against someone who could have a gun?

It's not a huge issue, in the UK so few people have guns why worry about it, it's like saying "How would you propose to defend yourself against a tank?" Who cares? It's not going to happen statistically.

I saw about that a while ago, it's cruel, but also the dogs were trained to run to russian tanks, they were trained by the russians, so the dogs would run back to the tanks of the russians and kill the people that trained them. Lol.

So do you think that people who don't have the right to own anti aircraft weapons don't have the right to defend themselves?

That's a completely ridiculous example, when's the last time someone got raped by a man flying a plane? o_O

Being attacked by a man with a gun IS a valid concern. Regardless of what country you live in, and how much of a liberal utopia it is. People in Britain have guns and use them to do bad things against helpless people.

And AFAIK you're not allowed to carry ANY weapon in the UK that's capable of being used for self defense. So you don't have the capability to defend yourself.

I'm against killing, I'm not against non-deadly forms of self defence weapons.

As am I. As I'm sure are all the people you're arguing with. Nobody wants to kill anyone. Well, no normal person anyway... Certainly nobody wants to be put in a situation where they might have to kill someone. But the fact remains that sometimes killing an attacker is the only option... the only way to ensure your survival.

And if you don't believe that kill or be killed situations happen in real life, you are sadly, tragically, naievely, ignorantly mistaken.

No it's not. So you are just worried about being raped?

And AFAIK you're not allowed to carry ANY weapon in the UK that's capable of being used for self defense. So you don't have the capability to defend yourself.

You're assuming you have to have some weapon to defend yourself.

I understand, and there are rare occasions when killing someone is warranted, but rape isn't one of them, pre-emptive killing is even more rarely warranted. I'm completely against killing except in the rarest situations.

I didn't mention you at all in my post.

though you do encourage it a little by responding to every single post.

Ahh sorry, I saw my name in the post you quoted and thought you were responding to me, I need to read things more carefully.

Also, I just tend to answer questions that are put to me.

Well then... no point in talking to you anymore.
