We need Gandalf; this place is full of Trolls.

Here’s the link Ramona provided me, so that I could identify Trolls and avoid acting like them. I believe your comment to me violates # 3 1(a) 1(b) 1(c) especially #4

In reply to One thing you can't agree on

It is a problem kat, but he can't stop himself. Now his game will include the accusation of trollery to everyone who disagrees with him which is incredibly ironic! Like I said earlier, he either truly believes all the incoherent rants he posts or he is a marginally talented but annoying satirist who gets his rocks off bugging the hell out of people.

One of the effects of social media is that it acts to concentrate and compact real-time communication rules seemingly making the individual feel like they operate in a place where the rules of common decency not longer apply. Because of this a delusional power is created and the troll continues to operate without ethics or restraint. Their online behavior is reactive, emotion becomes the template for every response. He assumes his outrage is a legitimate way of interacting with others in the digital world, however, IRL, he would never interact this way, or he be referred to as the village loon. He feels free to do this because there are no real world penalties for what he does. This describes every troll out there adequately. And Ramona is correct about not feeding the resident troll, but at times there seems nothing left to do but call him out, because he takes pleasure in destroying comment threads.

Anyway, I very much enjoy reading your comments. They are always well thought out and informative. Good weekend to you!

In reply to I think we can probably agree

Pigeon flesh ain't human skin 'n bones, and pellets aren't the same as bullets, especially over a longer distance or through a theater seat. An overcoat won't make much difference to a bullet.

OMG you're right. I slipped

OMG you're right. I slipped up, I hadn't noticed who I was addressing.

Believe me when I say; I had no intention of waking a troll.

One thing you can't agree on

In reply to I think we can probably agree

One thing you can't agree on is to leave each other alone. Remember it was you who attacked me, insulted me, and demanded that I leave you alone. I simply agreed and asked for reciprocity. I knew you could never stop posting to me even though you demanded I stop posting to you. That's why I tried so hard to get a clear unequivocal agreement from you when I agreed to your demand. Remember how you called me an untrustworthy liar who would never keep his word to leave you alone? Well I kept my word. So what does that make you?

As for your comment, I said died not injured. A human being is not a duck and is considerably harder to kill. While more people in a tightly packed crowd may be injured with a shotgun fewer will be killed. Many of the injuries would be very minor.

I think we can probably agree

I think we can probably agree that if the shooters at Aurora or Columbine, etc. had a 12 gauge instead of an AR-15 less people would have died.

I don't believe that to be necessarily true. If a crowd is gathered together the likely hood of many people being injured with one shell, is greater than if the people are spread out.

Years ago, I overheard a group of hunters, who had gone out quail hunting. They spotted a covey that ran behind a low bush. One of the hunters shot into the bush , and when they went to recover the quail, they discovered 12 dead birds. 12 killed with one shot.

Had the birds, been dispersed, the hunter would only have bagged one.

In reply to Our weapon experience and

Yes, there are several different types of shotgun shells, perhaps I should have mentioned that. One of the problems in discussing this is its complex and hard not to leave something out. And yes, a single shotgun BB can go through an organ and kill someone. But what are the odds?

To someone who knows nothing about guns that shotgun blast totally obliterating a watermelon makes it appear that a 12 gauge is the most destructive weapon in the video. There was no discussion of why a shotgun would obliterate a watermelon and what it means. I think we can probably agree that if the shooters at Aurora or Columbine, etc. had a 12 gauge instead of an AR-15 less people would have died.

The Taliban is there for self

In reply to hahahahahahahahahaha I dunno,

The Taliban is there for self protection.

Depends on individual perspective.

If the people, hate the Karzai governments corruption; the folks living there, might think the Taliban restores lost values.

I don't care for their values, I think it is barbaric,

But I didn't buy Bushes excuses either; "they hate us for our values" and then we turn around and prop up corrupt dictators.

Google karzai corruption.

One can't help thinking, we might be propping up the wrong man?

One that the people hate and we're his protectors.

I am confused. Damned if you do and damned if you don't

In hindsight, Maybe Carter should have protected the Shah?

hahahahahahahahahaha I dunno,
