Isn't that how the old saying goes? Hey, Eternity! Tell that to Colonel Jack Oneil. His son shot and killed himself by accident. People kill people right? Why did the nra blame everything but guns. Well I guess the coroners wont saying anything like, I don't know, died from a gunshot wound? Times today are getting harder and harder to live in... When did that happen?

When we see them blaming inanimate objects, do we see how intelligent they are?
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Unless you wish to make a serious claim of AI which is also will. User "error" plain and simple. Quit blaming the clock for your nostalgia.

Am I the only one who is confused with the intended point of the original post?

Multi-story buildings kill people, too. Just ask Eric Clapton. but the contractors have a powerful lobby.

Guns don't kill people. Bullets do. But is the gun that makes them go really fast.

Cigarettes don't kill people. Cancer does.
So why do we have to keep bringing up cigarettes when we are trying to find a solution to lung cancer? |

Bob, you're so close on these analogies! People (who smoke) do.

So cigarettes shouldn't be regulated then since it is the peoples' fault? What about those who are exposed to second-hand smoke? (Who are, of course, analogous to innocent bystanders.)

I probably like your analogy more than you do. I think that guns and cigarettes should both be regulated; do you think they should both be legal?
As for second-hand smoke, I don't think smoking should be allowed in public places (though I imagine we'd differ as to what constitutes a public place). However, I ink that smoking in a public place best analogizes to shooting a gun in a public place, not possessing one. Of course, there is no smoking equivalent to using a gun in defense of one's (or another's) life. It's not a perfect analogy. But it's not a bad one.

I once flicked my cigarette into a would-be mugger's face. So they CAN be used in self-defense.
That said, I smoke and I own guns, but I think both need to be regulated. (I would prefer that I didn't need either.) |

Hold up now. Cigarettes do kill people. I see where your tryna go with this seeing how your comparing people smoking cigarette causing cancer to people with guns causing death. Theres a difference. The firearm industry is nowhere near as corrupt as the cigarette industry.
You have ceos knowingly selling things that cause cancer for the sake of a buck. Guns have uses and squares don't. People will smoke a square just cause (except for those who smoke one after smoking weed because they believe it will boost your buzz but that's another story). People usually have reasons. When a gun is sold the company has no idea what the gun will be used for. Murder, hunting, which are both wrong. On the other hand tobacco companies know the effects of cigarettes. And they make them addictive so people will buy more and more. The more you smoke the higher the risk for cancer pending family history. Eternity.

Hunting is wrong? Have you ever had a biology class? What if we hunt animals that only hunt other animals, would that be ok then? What about people who live in extreme temperatures and vegetables don't readily grow.....should they starve to death because it is wrong to hunt? Get real man......oh wait.....kid.

I've had a biology class or two, and personally, I agree that hunting is wrong.

Yes; vegan, more specifically.

Do you look down on others who do hunt, fish, raise animals for protein? I commend you for being a vegan. That is not an easy lifestyle to follow in this society.

I'm lucky to live in southern California, where it's somewhat easier to adopt the lifestyle than it would be in other places. It's hard to exactly describe my feelings about it. I wouldn't say "look down on"; I think it's immoral, but I think we all do things that are immoral, and different people have their own pet causes, anyway. Pretty much everyone I care about is a non-vegan; it's not really something I dwell on. Just a belief of mine that at one point, I acted on.
