Yamato Posted January 30, 2013 #176 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Lets see: Paranoia [ˌpærəˈnɔɪ.ə] (adjective: paranoid [ˈpærə.nɔɪd]) is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. (e.g. "Everyone is out to get me.") Making false accusations and the general distrust of others also frequently accompany paranoia. For example, an incident most people would view as an accident or coincidence, a paranoid person might believe it was intentional. (Source) How many you know who are not afraid and don't fit the above description? Right. Yeah the hypocrisy from the bureau isn't necessarily intentional, it's just utterly callous and so in time it's just as bad as if it were intentional. And speaking of false accusations, I have to call every one of your accusatory statements out that start with the subject "the majority of..." as false because you just throw that majority-speak around without evidence. Are you spending a lot of time in the Conspiracy section of the website or something? Is it loaded up with Americans who all believe the conspiracies there? Or do you otherwise have any evidence whatsoever for the daily negativity about 150,000,000+ Americans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constitution is absolute law of my land, regardless if you like it or not. His contempt for his own rule of law is, well, anti-American. If he meant to call you paranoid for defending the Constitution, it's a brave new world where "paranoia" means upholding the law. Thank you for defending the Constitution sir. You've earned my respect in the past few days here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the one trying to wake people up to how FOS our government and all it's bogeymen are. By contrast, you buy their soap on a daily basis, evidenced most recently with your daily march against 0.6% of gun homicides in this country caused by "assault" rifles because that's just so important to you since the bureaucrats told you it is.

Yamato Posted January 30, 2013 #189 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Where we come back to the post where I put the definition of paranoia, but please continue. I just call the BS out when I see it. When you actually have a single fact about the majority of gun owners, I'll be stunned. I would ask, but there is zero probability that you could provide ANY evidence at all. And you're talking to me about "facts" here? Really?

questionmark Posted January 30, 2013 #190 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I just call the utter BS out when I see it. When you actually have a single fact about the majority of gun owners, I'll be stunned. See, if you can't prove it you are not calling out BS, you are making it up. And as usual, an ad hominem claim without evidence... you will be considered king around here if you keep it up (the king of the BSers, of course).

Yamato Posted January 30, 2013 #191 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Now, show me how that is a 180 degree turn. With quotes of my posts if you may. Or is it going to end like every time you put something along those lines? You said that if the majority of Americans want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment, they'll get rid of it. Now in full retreat, you admit that it's not going to happen. I call that progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think calling the majority of Americans paranoid is? That's insulting. And you tell me about facts? You need to humble yourself, sir. Seriously.

Now would be a good time for that scientific method you were such an advocate of yesterday. A few op-eds you googled and that's "fact" to you? I can write an op-ed about government's paranoia. Of Muslims living on rocks in Afghanistan and all kinds of stupid bogeymen that waste our time, blood and treasure. Full retreat like I said. It's not going to happen. You go from one extreme to the other with what you predict on the guns issue, but the constant that remains the same is your contempt for your countrymen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonKing Posted January 30, 2013 #199 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Attention all law abiding gun owners yamato,asteroidx,uncle sam,and all others I think i can solve this problem for all! When out hunting in the woods or out somewhere with a concealed carry permit and you come across a wild and aggressive GUN with all your wits and skill subdue the unruly Gun and hand it over to the proper authorities! Now everyone knows that those guns are dangerous so be carefull,hand it over to a far left party member so they can deal with it correctly.They will properly medicate,rehabilitate,fine,and ban it if need be.Everyone knows these steps are the only way to a safe state of being.So stop argueing about your constitutional rights,guns protect no one and nothing!They are nothing but trouble makers that do nothing but harm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsteroidX Posted January 30, 2013 #200 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I keep my gun on a leash at all times when I take it to the gunpark. Because it is a dangerous gun. Not a friendly gun like the lefties carry around in there pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
