You started this vague, yet stupidly titled thread and kept it that way. And you just said you were ALL for common sense gun control, yet, when asked to be succinct about it to clarify for common ground, you choose to fling accusations. I was attempting to have a conversation about this important, au courant issue with you, or so I thought. You want to be angry. Have at it. You want to parse words and issues to evade the fact you are all for doing nothing because you don't believe in anything? I don't happen to have an agenda. I am living in the here and now, and am reacting to that.
You really shouldn't go around accusing me of thinking things I am not, just because I can imagine well, almost anything! Suddenly bringing up pen knives on airplanes is the real point? ... oh, right! I am really getting a kick out the denialist tactics that are all the rage these days. Talk about funny! Talk about your agenda.... the bitch and moan agenda? That is what I call stagnation as a result of your disillusionment.
You like to ask me to answer your questions, which I have done in a nice way and then you get a cranky fit and flounce away without answering mine. I haven't left any conversations.... so if you think we have unfinished business, don't be shy about it hang around and maybe we'll finish something one of these days?

Morning Joan. I have one little comment to make and it is not to make light of any situation regarding murdering kids or anyone else. Please Joan don't say it too loud about locking up red headed deaf people--in this town we have a state deaf school and when they graduate, a lot of them stay here and make this their home. If we lock them up, then there goes the economy...............By the way, do I know how many of them are red headed? No, I've never paid attention--like many other groups, they stay together pretty much and live in the deaf school neighborhood.
As far as all that other, it just goes on and on. Everybody have a nice day.

Vonisk, I was responding (sarcastically) to bee pointing out the physical, mental profile of the attacker.
And I didn't say anything regarding locking them up. I said, obviously sarcastically, they should be banned. Bee seemed to think it was important to describe the cutter's physical, mental, and social stats. Bee, I'm not mad. There isn't anything here to get mad about. I'll make a deal with you; you don't assume what I think and I won't assume what you think.
As for what my thoughts are on how 'far gun control' should go, it doesn't matter. And I didn't intend to 'throw accusations'. What would it accomplish? Right, nothing.

LOL I knew that--the sarcastic part. Maybe I am being a little off the wall too...................but I can tell you this, I don't want to argue, have no reason to and if I wanted to kill anyone or thing, it would be the neighbors and their JRT!!!!!!!! And BTW I understood what you meant. Just being a wize azz over here.
What is going on is sad. And it seems the more people do things and the more the media goes on and on about it, the more people seem to be "going for thegusto"--by golly he made the front page, seems like I will too...maybe the answer is to just round people up and give them mental tests--if they don't pass then throw them in locked mental wards and give them all the psychotropic meds they can handle. Maybe they'll get so full they'll knock each out....................

LOL@ vonisk!

So, if someone is descriptive about something they just watched on the National news, it becomes what? Something automatically bad? It can't have been a simple observation? Watching the news well, it left me with only imagining about this "X-acto knife"? ... I never ever got to see a picture of the actual weapon used! Good grief. And you know what else? I think it doesn't matter what I write, because there is a certain group who post here and they will automatically hate my every word, regardless. Frankly, by now, I'm used to it.
All in a days abuse on the OT, LOL
Does anyone even remember when everyone used to accuse me of being overly sensitive all the time? Funny... I never get that anymore! Hmm?

The thing is...if your point was, that this Texas knifer attack makes any new laws on gun control irrelevant, too, you did a lousy job.
Deleting your above post was a good idea.
I thought it incredibly.... irrelevant.

It was meant to be a joke, but I knew you'd try to make like it was serious, and I didn't want you to hurt yourself analyzing and trying to make it about gun control. So, I deleted it to keep from bothering you. But, this thread had nothing to do with gun laws, Bee. I'm not hung up on that topic. Every thing in the world, does not relate to gun control, not even the cow possibly dumping on the moon. &:-)

Yeah, right Joan. It is about pen knives being allowed on airplanes, I get it. Uh huh. You don't want pen knives on airplanes? Or do you. Try being clear. It does wonders, if you are truly seeking common ground and not a source for a put down.
I pretty much am done with this retarded thread, that's for sure. Your backtracking will surely be tedious.
