Americans buy record numbers of guns for Christmas

Get off your high horse and stop pretending that's what I posted here. First of all, I was referring to maineman, who has been perm-banned and therefore not a poster here. Second, anyone with an IQ over 90 and has read his stuff can see that the man is a pedophile or a wanna-be pedophile, so my comment is completely justified. Third, no way did I suggest that he was diddling his kid. His attacks were always against someone else's children.

I'll make one more post on the topic just for you, because you clearly cannot take a hint and leave this kind of stuff in PMs. (also in the rules, btw).

Sol's buddy bonds with children in a different manner.

DY, this is suggesting that somebody diddles kids. It will not be tolerated here. You were told to quit it, please do.

I can't make it more clear than that.

sure it is. 46% of americans were able to answer that question

i guess since they are not the majority, their opinion just doesn't matter to you?

and precisely defined? no, what you want to do is pick and choose freedoms that YOU find important and ones that you can say 'eh, not so much' and let government take them. not happening.

No, I think if you're not precise in what you're measuring it might as well be a Rorschach test. Everybody will read into it their own definition of freedom.

But if we're going to do it that way, no, I don't think my "freedom" is being threatened by government but I can also break down government programs or policies into pluses and minuses. I don't like the restrictions on flying, that's in the negative column. I don't think it's constitutional to require photo ID for voting so if that should happen it would be a negative. I believe universal health care is a right, not a privilege, so that would be in the positive column. I think abolishing DADT was the right thing to do, so put it in the positive column. Citizens United v. Fed. Elect. Comm., negative. Etc., etc., etc.

I'm pretty sure you'd think the opposite of me on some of the above and consider that your "freedom" was being encroached. But IMO it's pretty much all subjective.

You'll need to re-word the rules then because they say this:

...avoid any and all mention of descriptive encounters with children. ...Do not suggest encounters with another poster's child.

And that clearly means no "descriptive encounters" and "another poster's child", and my post broke neither rule.

I will continue to discuss this in public in order to counter your public assertion that I posted a "descriptive encounter" with "another poster's child". If you want this in a PM then by all means, state that your assertion was wrong and start the PM.

Oh boy, a fight. Hold on until I get a beer and some popcorn.

Oh that's easy. For liberals, freedom means freedom from personal responsibility.

I think the recently passed NDAA is certainly an infringement of our rights.
