it also is reason to show that their idiot research is bullshit because it doesn't explain why WOMEN buy and carry guns.
Probably because you frighten them. Definitely the most stupid comment I have heard in a long while. Read the millions of books and research articles that show it to be true. By doing that for you I would lift you out of your ignorance and you clearly enjoy that.

no, you don't. you live being subject to any and all kinds of force upon you, whether perpetrated by a criminal or the government. That is not freedom, that is submission.
Yes I do. Our crime rate is a minute fraction of yours. Anyone, male or female, young oe old, can travel alone at night. Our kids can go to school on their own without fear. I can do anything I like within the law (obviously) and that means go where I like, say what I like, pursue happiness how I like, start a company when and how I like. What 'force' do you honestly think I am subject to.

you lie, as indicated by your confession to being kidnapped.
The kidnapping was not unpleasant. There was no violence. In fact when I got to the 'room' there was a meal waiting for me. I small ransome was paid and they took me home. Oh, that was not in HK.Quote:

then YOU, sir, are a bonafide idiot. You were kidnapped against your will and COULD have been subject to all kinds of criminal misconduct, including rape and murder, and you still see no reason to protect yourself. You're a fool. plain and simple.
Then I must, according to your unfortunate standards, be a bone fide idiot. But, and this makes me very happy, I'm not a brain dead yank.

I live in the real world. A world where there are violent two legged predators that don't give an ounce of care about you, your family, or your lives. These predators would have no problem with beating you within an inch of your life, then raping your wife and daughter multiple times in front of you, and after they are done, slowly choking the life out of them while you watch. How do you answer your loved ones pleas for help when you're guilty of failing to protect them because of your own cowardice?
Sounds as if you live as far away from the real world as I am from America. You are a fool if you think the shit you call life bears any resemblance to civilised existence. Predators? You have predators where you live? We don't. You live in permanent fear? We don't. You think your world is dangerous? Mine isnt. You need to learn to read. You obviously live in a place that has yet to be touched by civilisation. That must be why even idiot yanks marvel when they come here.
