RevanA4 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yep. That's if you're referring to Canada. Aboringinals use guns for hunting, especially up in the Yukon. They rely on it. Great white north == Wisconsin this is a no brainer no racism. and as larry the cable guy said "guns don't kill people. Husbands who come home early Kill people" Note: That is in no way implying anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHawke Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 What kind of retarded ass question is this? No racism. Getting rid of guns solves absolutely nothing, getting rid of racism does. Quoted for emphasis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbieZ Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 a friend of mine went to africa and met a guy who killed a lion with just his spear when he was just 15. I can kill a grizzly with my bear hands.... God, that Herbie's so funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 correction, you are fijindistralian Just like I am a turkcypstralian mtfbwya Does that mean the only way I'll be considered just plain "Australian" is if I'm white and born in this country? Now it could be just me but I think that's just bulls***. I'm Australian and I consider Australia to be my country. I'm not some *attach prefix here*stralian.

RaV™ Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I voted for No Racism, which this is an obvious answer. I dislike hunting, because certain people can get shot in the face, by certain other people.. YES THAT WAS A HALFASSED CHENEY COMMENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you can be *no prefix here*"stralian"* I was born here too, but like to attach the prefix as I see it as part of acknowledgeing my family and religious identity. I ofen have clients ask me "what nationality are you" even knowing that I was born and grew up here... why do you think people ask that?? Just because people prefer to say "I'm Italian American" or "2nd generation Chinese Australian" etc does not make them any more or less Americans or Australians. It's just a way of giving a bit more info about oneself lolz. Alas. I have digressed... this has not too much to do with the poll! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 correction, you are fijindistralian Just like I am a turkcypstralian mtfbwya I'm a Heinz 57 American myself. We've got so many different countries in our blood we probably could start our own planet, though English and Lithuanian are the predominant ones. And, to link this back to the thread (however tenuously), it's probably another reason not to be racist--I'd end up hating some small percentage of my heritage somewhere.

The Doctor Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Well, maybe not racist per se, but guns do lead to violence, sensless killing, and the like - stuff that is just as stupid as racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 you dont need guns to carry out "senseless killings". anything sharp and pointy is enough. And not even that is necessary. You can kill a person with an ordinary baseball bat, or if you are strong enough and crazy enough you can kill someone with your bare hands. Conclusion: Get rid of racism and decrease the number of violent deaths and senseless attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samnmax221 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Many of the gun related homicides are gang related, gang bangers are often felons, felons can't own firearms. Take guns away from gang bangers and the number of homicides will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
