No, I don't feel I can do the same to you, I was demonstrating why it doesn't make sense to tell others how they should get their message across. Their are many things on this board that people should get kicked off for, sarcasm shouldn't be one of them.
I understood immediately what he was trying to say as did others. Just because your sarcasm detector wasn't functioning correctly, it doesn't mean he did something wrong. Everyone who had a working one understood that his point was about guns, not about Koreans. It seems more like you want to be offended, seeing as how even after he explained his point which you originally missed, you still want to stick with the incorrect interpretation.
Not only that, the timing is great. If OP can only get this in the news/talkshows the professor will be under a TON of pressure.
OP - e-mail a few of the talk shows. Better yet, record it and send the clip. They'll handle it from there. You can stop this.

Yes, because illegal guns are all stored at the illegal gun depot, so the cops can just head on down there and confiscate them all. Brilliant!

exactly.
bzzzt. wrong answer. when you ban guns legally, the only people that comply are the regular population, not criminals. criminals dont really care about rules and laws, thats why they are criminals. they will outgun everyone if the country bans firearms.
how about some mandatory classes for crisis training? how many people would have been saved from this if there were a mandatory class on how to deal with a situation similar to this? even if it just taught kids how to keep a clear head during a situation as traumatic as this things would have went very differently. IMO of course.
The Brady Bunch were salivating at the chance to use this to push their agenda on the news this morning.

yes. its in my laptop case behind me as i type this. ive had to eject a few people out of this and a couple other offices ive worked at before, im sure it will come up again when its a "notsogood" neighborhood, and mostly industrial. we find slugs in the parking lot all the time on monday mornings, i used to keep them in a jar until it filled up. apparently the bullet of choice around here is a.357 with .45 a close second.
Let's see...blah blah conservative viewpoints are insane blah blah you jump to conclusions blah blah learn to think for yourself blah blah.
:roll:
Anyone making this about gun control is stupid, but the amount of liberal bashing in this thread is simply amusing. Unfortunately, people will use this to voice their opinions...people are opportunists. Just like many of you wet your pants in excitement because you were able to parrot your conservative views in this thread.
and for what it's worth, I don't want to ban guns!

The idea of turning in a professor for speaking his opinion is just ridiculous. Sometimes the silliness of this board is just too much for me.
either everyone should have guns, or nobody should have guns(outside of law enforcement/military). In my opinion, its just as easy for someone to get a gun nowadays because theres so many of them out there. Anyone can steal one from an unsuspecting neighbor. The way peoples tempers are nowadays and attitudes towards others, I'd feel safer if less people had guns.
My father, mother and brother (just 2 days ago) have all been held up at gunpoint and robbed. I do not feel that they would have been any safer if we owned a gun as the gun was pulled on them before they would have been able to do anything about it with their own gun and any attempt to would have ended badly.
Either way, the world is a messed up place right now with so much hatred against one another. You cant even stand up for yourself without fearing that the person might have a gun or come back with one. (ex. honking the horn at the redneck who just cut you off and almost caused a crash while you have your baby in the back seat)....you think twice about doing that when you hear the stories on the news every night.
I just dont hear about guns being used to save many lives (by citizens)....instead I hear 10x as many stories about them being used by an angry husband/wife/son/student, etc...who happened to be 'normal' at the time of purchase.
just my biased 2cents from my experiences......
I really wish people would try to think more than one step ahead.
Ok, so everyone is armed and psycho kid still wants to kill some people. Well, psycho kid gets an explosive and throws it in a lecture hall. A grenade has a kill radius of ~5m (78.5m^2) and lots of lectures have 120 people packed in a space of about 7*10m. What are your guns going to do then?
Indeed. Most of my professors allowed me to voice my opinion and if they didn't they were probably an asshole/bad prof...end of story. I feel that if you disagreed strongly enough with him then you could've voiced your opinion but maybe the prof was a real dick.
