This is what I thought. So trespassing is not grounds to shoot. So why are so many of you ready to pull the trigger? (Assuming, as I do, that the burglar is after money or objects to pawn to support their drug habit rather than the thrill of killing.)

Doesn't matter to me, police brutality, home owner brutality, 'islamic brutality' whatever that means, it is brutality--an abuse of power. I do not have the zen-ness to offer them a cup of coffee, but I wouldn't want to escalate the situation either. Besides Fat Happy Buddha raises a good point...

The vague thread title made me think it would be a discussion of this news story I recently read. It wasn't. But I am simply bringing it to other's attention. There was no attempt at discussing race; I was on track when I wrote: Maybe having a gun inflates one's head with a false sense of...

Are you sure it disappeared? Is it not the Centre 2000 on the south-east corner of St-Laurent and Ste-Catherine? More info here: http://www.viceland.com/issues/v9n4/htdocs/sex_machine.php

I don't know that I can contribute anything new and of value to the gun ownership vs burglary discussion, but I would like to say that before clicking on the link to this thread I thought it would refer to the appended news story. Maybe having a gun inflates one's head with a false sense of...

SOCRATES: What was that sound? DIOTIMA: That was the sound of women everywhere swooning. SOCRATES: Swooning makes a sound? DIOTIMA: Apparently so.

Nicely said Maria. Indeed happiness is a choice and is independent of material or emotional wealth.

I wouldn't have been able to state this so concisely. Thanks Ziggy.

Very sly, both of you! Where do you draw the line? We have consensus on 'gangster rap,' but what about the Beastie Boys or Jurassic 5?

You have to share, now that you've brought it up. In my case, what I hate the most, would be unpunctual people, waiting in lines, watching movies or reading books where you get to the end and think to yourself "I will never get that time back." I hate having my time wasted. Don't get me wrong...

No you aren't.

I am not engaging in this nonsense any further, but I'd still like to read your anwser to my question: "Is this whole thread still part of your vendetta against affirmative action?" I am baffled by your idiocy. There is no point in arguing with you. You will think you are right even if you are...

Blah, blah, blah...

C'était supposé être moi ça, ehn? :o

English is my mother tongue; I do not need a lesson from you. Your Mortal Kombat playing buddy wrote "Have you read any Nietzschean or Kant?" A native English speaker would correctly interpret this to mean 'Have you read any books by a person whose last name is Nietzschean or a person whose last...

This is really painful, but I`ll S P E L L it out for you, and even colour code it because you seem to have reading comprehension issues. This colour means good. This colour means bad. Incorrect: I know a Germany fellow. Correct: I know a German fellow. Germany is a country made up...

:D LOL :D Quand publies-tu ton dictionnaire Ziggy?

I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but you have! Thanks.

I've never heard of Nietzschean, I do however know a German fellow by the name of Nietzsche relatively well. When you're done thinking you're an Übermensch, you can come back and live amongst us ordinary Volk. I guess the rest of my post flew over your head. I find if very difficult to...

Je te suis Ziggy. Merci pour les éclaircissements, mais j'aurais tout simplement dû dire que l'example était boiteux. Je crois que je m'acharne inutilement avec certains...
