You know it's bad when IMDb has a link at the bottom that says, if you like this movie, they you'll like "Ernest In the Army."

I cannot believe that Pinchot played Laurel. That is just sad.


I watched 30 seconds of that movie once, I HAD to turn the TV off and go to the bathroom wash my eyes...

Kind of like the Simpsons when Burns got his casino. GL's sitting in bed, finger nails a mile long, beard down to his waist, Kevin Smith is there, picking GL's pubes out of his teeth, GL says "Look, I've designed a new tie-fighter. I call it the Spruce Moose. Get in, Kevin!" *shows him a tie-fighter model* "Uhhhhh, George, don't you think it's a little too small for us to fit in?" *GL pulls out a revolver and cocks it* "I said GET IN"


That Simpson's episode was a spoof of Howard Hughes last days...

Anyone remembers that "mad tv" skectch someone posted here some months ago? I bet George will turn into that. "If you wanted fries, why didn't you order them?"

I got mine (and other 9 friends) tickets thursday during lunch time, drived all the way to the place and got them. I'll be all drowsy and miserable at work next morning... I think I'll call sick or something, or show up late and stay a few hours longer...

I borrowed this cool digital camera from my dad for this week, I'll take some pics of that day, I'll put them on a website and show them to you the following day...

One of my favorite websites.

My 2 favorite stories, even though both have been proven to be fake, have to be the JATO and the 'Frog Giggin' stories. I'll copy and paste the stories if anyone is interested, but we need a new thread for it.


My favorite one is about the guy who strapped his chair into dozens of balloons (he didn't die), and the unlikely (and possibly untrue) story about the man who was going to pick up the phone late at night, and he grabbed his gun instead and shot himnself in the head.

I'm a man, and I'm not a killer. I'm pretty sure you're not a killer as well. Why can't all men be like that?

I think this could be applied to any personality, not only Kennedy. Take John Paul II when he died, as an example.

First, I must also apologise if I've been rude or anything of the sort, it was not my intention. I also get carried away sometimes.

I understand and accept your point of view on guns, but I hope that this conversation will at least bring some wisdom on both of us... So, after all we discussed, I ask you to yes, keep the gun, it's your right if you want to, but please do be careful... Don't show it off to people, if you're going to transport it unload it first, if you have kids make sure they can't reach it/find it and if (or when) they are old enough, explain to them that what that is and they should never touch it or anything... And if you ever realize you'll actually need it, do think if you really need it, if you're merely fighting with someone, if the person is harming you but is clearly unnarmed, don't use it... And if you REALLY, have to use it, please try aiming for the leg or something, I mean, incapacitate someone should be your goal, you're not trying to get more kills as possible, right?

I'm pretty sure you're balanced enough not to do something dangerous with the weapon, and I'm confident that you'll never need to fire at anyone, at lease I that's what I hope for.

As for me, I'll avaliate this issue better and perhaps I might reconsider. I wouldn't buy a gun (if those were available), not only because of my point of view, but because I don't think I can shoot a gun... I'd probably shoot my own foot...

OK I'll answer the ones I think I could add anything else. You'd probably think I'm repeating myself on the other questions (not exactly questions, but...)

Did I dodge the question? Sorry. What I tried to say is that no, the number of occurences of other crimes did not rose. Gun related incidents did drop. And by the way, we have a STRONG pro-gun comunity here, that thinks the same way you do.

So let me ask you a question, you and i are both asleep in our respected homes, a crook breaks into both our homes, I grab the 410 shot gun from under my bed, load it and prepare to defend my family, you do what??? call the cops and wait the 10 minutes for them to arrive.


Can i ask you a quesiton, what type of neighborhood did you grow up in???


First the last question: Quite a violent one. I live in the second most violent city in Brazil, maybe the... 8th or 9th most violent city in the world. I was not raised in the most violent areas, but I was also not in a good area either. I've been mugged with a gun pointed to my head once.

The second question: Yes, I'd perhaps call the cops. As would do 99% of the population here, who dosen't own a gun. I see your point, the "cut the middleman" thing and "protect" your own people. But what I intend to do is to make sure those criminals never get to my house. We should focus on making sure people don't get into crime at all. We should focus on preventing violence to happen in first place, instead of just grabbing a bigger gun and shooting whoever trespasses my properties.

Now let me ask you, do you live in a violent neighborhhod? Ever needed to fire your gun? (I'm not sure you have one)



Now, before we continue this conversation, PLEASE, please, let's not turn this polite discussion into a fight. I'm offering my point of view, and I'm accepting yours. I can see your point, I really do, and I know you at least understand mine - you don't necessarily agree, but you understand what I'm talking about. Is any of us right about such topic? Hell no, these are opinions, no one is fully correct. What I intend to do when I express my opinion is never to force someone to accept it, I don't want that, we are free to make our own choices. What I want is to make sure another point of view is known. If we politely discuss a topic and all the points of views and issues are discussed, then with that full knoledge of the topic we can make a clear decision... LOL I'm not sure I made myself clear

* raises hands, offering to shake it *
I have nothing against anyone in this forum and I never will - I felt our conversation got a little bit too harsh and I don't want this to get ugly. OK?

Further more statistically speaking more people die in knife related violence then guns, at least in the US. Should we ban them too? If you could theoretically take away all the guns, which would never ever happen, then what do you do with the knives, the basball bats, the sharp sticks, etc?


My point in mentioning the Krav Maga is that it makes as much sense as buying a gun to "protect youself". If you are fast enough to grab your gun while you're having another gun pointed to your head by an unstable individual, and pulling the trigger before him, THEN perhaps you're fast enough to disarm him without actually shooting him.

No, I don't know how easy it is to get a weapon. I know how easy it USED to be, when guns were legal over here (well, actually, it was kinda hard back then, you had to prove you knew how to shoot, prove you are mentally stable and sane, take some tests...).

Never once did i think how cool it would be to play russian rulett, or take the shotgun out back and play with it. Though i am not a big gun enthueist now, and my families trips to the firing range wained as we moved to the burbs, i still understand the how to handle a fire arm. I can remember sitting on the tail gate of my grandads truck in the desert watching my family (mom, grandma, dad, grandad etc.) shoot cans and other assorted safe targets. I can remeber getting my first red rider at 4 or 5 and my dad showing how where and why to use it. If you educate your children they wont do something so stupid. Growing up i had thousands upon thousands of talks about the dangers of , in combination with the handling of, guns, the tools (power and other) in the work shop, cars, knives, weed eaters, mowers, electricity, gasoline, fire, this that and the other thing. Did i do stupid things? sure like any kid, but nothing stupid enough to harm someone or something beyond home grown medical care. Give kids credit they arent little mindless minons. I remember at a very young age seeing what a gun could do to a tin can and recognizing with very little aid from my pops that it would not be good to to that to a person.


3- Three or four year old kids don't even get the concept of DEATH, much less guns. If one is available to them, what do you think may happen. And, of course, there's the Columbine scenario, which I rather not talk about due to respect.

Further more if we the people have no guns than how to we protect ourselves from a corrupt authority, ie police department, governement, etc. Ultimate power ultimately corrupts. I am sorry i just dont have the faith in people you do. If we did stop gun manufacturing in all the world what makes you think that Kim Jong-Il, the many many drug lords through out the world, the uber rich psychos, bin laden, etc will stop. I am sorry i just dont want the good people to do something only to have the uber rich psychopaths not and then we all be in a world of hurt.


When we talk about the gun issue, there are two possible sides one can take: those who think the problem will be solved with more guns, those who think the problem will be solved with less guns. I belive the problem will be solved with LESS guns. I belive peace is the answer. If we arm everyone, the problem will NEVER go away, and therefore we are doomned to live in a world of chaos and violence forever. Violence is never the answer, NEVER. There is no need for wars if we chose to live in a cooperatively peace. If peace is an utopia, then we should all commit suicide right now, because it's pointles.

I have chosen to support peace and I'll never change my mind, even if I'm the only one in the world without a gun under my pillow.

Oh, and if you chose to keep your gun to protect yourself from Osama Bin Laden or from the president of North Korea, I say "good luck" to you.

OK, so rapes didn't drop, white collar cimes didn't drop, carjacking didn't drop, so what the hell are we banning guns for anyway! I mean, if I'm going to get rid of guns, there must not be a single crime ever. Imagine you have both arms and legs broken, and there's this hypothetical medicine that can cure one arm only. You won't take it, because it won't cure your whole body? I mean, taking guns out will obviously NOT make other kinds of crimes go away, but it's a start. We now have to focus on other kinds of crimes.

It's bad because most people have to take it out. A wisdom teeth can change someones bite and forbid his jaw to proper close. The wisdom teeth might grow on the "wrong" direction and push the molar teeth away... They can cause infections, they can cause severe pain... Some people don't have wisdom teeth at all (very rare), some do have them, but they never get to develop, staying "buried" underneath the gum...

And taking those teeth out is not a pleasent experience. It's a cirurgical procedure, with stiches and all. The upper wisdom teeth are relatively easy to take off, mostly because they are not connected to the jaw, but to the skull itself. The lower wisdom teeth are tricky, since they are attached to a loose bone (the jaw). It could lead to some complications, and results into some extreme pain. Besides, some people can't seem to eat for 2 or 3 days before taking them out.

God made some major mistakes when he created men at his image: the human body is filled with useless crap that we must take out, apendix, tonsils, wisdom teeth, circuncision...


Now, back to the topic: Things I hate. I absolutely hate the fact that although I changed my life style, taking vitamins and eating healthy food, fruits and vegetables, I STILL manage to get sick, I think I have the flu or something. I take 2 grams of vitamin C every single day and still I manage to get sick... Now I can't sleep because I feel terrible... And I gotta wake up kinda early tomorrow. And I'll feel like shit tomorrow... Just great.

The only way we can "evolve" and not have wisdom teeth anymore is if people with wisdom teeth fail to procriate, or achieve it less than people without them... So I guess we'll be pulling those out for a loong time.

Two of my wisdom teeth were born correctly, the upper ones. I gotta get my bottom ones out, and I've heard it's not really fun...

I agree with everything. But you see, to me this seems common sense. Why does this even have to be a debate. Criminals aren't going to obey gunlaws, so they only affect those who ALREADY obey the law. I'm honestly considering carrying some sort of weapon in my car or something for the odd event that I ever get robbed/mugged whenever I get out on my own.

I'd make a humourous analogy right now if I could think of one.


Chaltab, consider this:

1- In the eventuality of you getting mugged (btw, how often does that happen in the town where you live???), are you really going to grab you gun and shoot the guy? If you make a sudden move to grab you gun, he could get scared and shoot you first. If you really want to counter-atack, why don't you learn the KRAV MAGA, which is a Israeli self defence fighting system developed for these situations (you'll be able to disarm the man and break his arm without killing him).

2- Let's asume you leave your gun on your car, and it get stolen. That's another gun that'll be used to kill and rob and stuff.

3- Imagine you have your gun in your home and your kids find it. Then, they decide to imitate the russian roullete scene from "The Deer Hunter".

4- If we DISARM everyone, we'll be able to achieve peace, not by grabbing more guns! Violence creates more violence, as Ghandi said: "An eye for an eye will make everyone blind". Ghandi defeated the brutal and fully armed British Empire without firing a single shot. What we need is to CLOSE DOWN the weapons factories and ARREST those who manufacture weapons. Them, we need to disarm everyone, the people AND the criminals. If you arrest a criminal, you're obviously going to take his gun away. You'll probably say "oh, if you forbid selling weapons he'll buy a weapon on black market", ok, so we need to fight the gun industry everywhere the same way we fight the drug cartels. The price of a weapon would increase drastically, it would be highly unavaliable... The violence generated by these weapons would drop, therefore dropping the NEED for more weapons, and so on...

5- Consider this: About an year ago, weapons were officially banned over here. Only police officers, the army, and people who can REALLY justify that they need a weapon can carry one of those. People who already owned weapons were asked to give them away at police stations, and they were paid back. The guns were destroyed. Gun related violence cases dropped after a few months.
