    About the same, maybe a little more.

    Where you with us during the great gun flame war? Many casualties. It was an ugly war.

    No. I missed that .....kinda glad I did. I wasn't making a political statement either way. It just gives me peace of mind. I feel strongly about it, but I usually keep it to myself unless asked and I don't want to start a big gun control debate. That's like arguing religion :P

    Hard to say, i used to get beaten up fairly often (for being a greebo/goth/weirdo type person. funniest time, walking down the road arm in arm with my girlfriend, someone behind shouts "you ******* lezzers!!" The long hair really confuses people...) but now that never happens. however, i now worry about things like getting mugged, or being carjacked (happened to a guy at my old work, was forced to drive 30 miles at knife point) or just murdered by someone whos stressed out/drugged up. old lady got mugged by a druggie three streets away from me not so long ago.

    Our first house was in the Princess Jeanne area (Indo-you know where I mean) and occasionally some peep would get daddy's .22 revolver and go through the neighborhood at 2 am shooting up the stop signs. Our present house is in a much better area ...no gunshots at night to wake us up

    I feel a little safer. Three months ago I moved into the white neighborhood. I felt relatively safe before anyway, its just a little more safe where I live now. If you know what I mean.
    His name was MackemX

    What kind of a man are you? The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend?

  14. Only thing I have to worry about is a jet plane come crashing down on me 8)

    The problem is that I don't "know what you mean". Frankly, it seems that you are implying that a predominantly non-white neighborhood is likely to be less safe than a white one.

    It sounds like you know exactly what I mean. What's the problem?

    I feel safe more than ever. and I live in NY city.
    It seems like only goverment is scaring us w/ all these terroist warnings.
    Whenever I turn on the news, there is all these different warnings that I just change the channel.
    Can't worry about what's gonna happen next all the time. Just trying to live my life as it is.
    And any neighborhood feels safe to me for that matter!!!
    Life is too short to worry about our safety every second.
    Just enjoy!

    Teegee,

    Are you blind, or do you just refuse to realize what is what?

    The black leaders are begging the young blacks to quit killing each other, whther for dope, turf, whatever.

    The largest number of kilings in the country is black killing black, and the Shumers and Hillary Clintons, and Sarah Bradys are using that a s the justification for even more gun control.

    The blackest city in the USA is Washington, DC, where you may not have a functional firearm at all, and, for Christ's sake, a white Congressman from outside the District says we should give the citizens of DC the right to, and the means to defend themselves.

    And, what do you object to, a stereotype? Get over it. Get the rights granted to 37 of the other states. A bad ass enters your home, you blow his bad ass away. Period. This IS the USA, not Old Blighty, where they lock a man up and refuse parole because "he may pose a danger to burglars", and that is a fairly close quote.

    Cheers,
    George,

    I may have overstepped the bounds here, as per firearms, but so be it.

    I don't associate a person's race with a propensity for criminal activity. Whites are as capable of commiting crimes as much as anyone.

    I may have misunderstood the pacman.

    Do you mean as an individual, as, "No one would ever attack me, an Austrlian, as we took all the guns from those antisocials", or do you mean no terrorist, quote, endquote, would dare to blow me up?

    As to "terrorists", should someone plant a chunk of C4 under one of your Outback rail tracks, would you feel safer or less so?

    And, would it be because the war on terrorism is an unwinnable war?

    You can't stop maniacs, and if you can come up with a different, believable name for any ******* who would strap 20 pounds of HX on his body and consider his life to be well expended if he should murder 4 Jewish schoolkids,
    and get his family a 25000 dollar payment, what the f**k is the world coming to?

    And, the bleeding hearts here say the Jews should be disarmed, when the news media, not the major news media, to be sure, report that a little old lady with a legally carried 9 m/m put one through the skull of a walking bomb.

    But, no we must not discuss that, here, even though Sweden is one of the more enlightened states in Europe. They hunt there, they charge you to bring an arm in by the weight of it, they allow much freedom if yuou are sponsored, read, have an uncle, or have paid the hunting fee.

    Ah, well, it is Europe, they are used to people telling them if they surrender their firearms, the State will make all well. Hitler convinced them, Stalin, Mussolini, Brant, Blair..

    Cheers,

    George

    Respectfully George, when I see a spade, I'm going to call it a spade. The fact that someone chooses to believe a racist stereotype doesn't make it true. I've made my feelings on this matter clear so I don't plan on discussing this ad nauseam. I respect the views of everyone here whether I agree with them or not and I am content with agreeing to disagree.

  27. Hey, teegee420

    If I remember correctly Conquest10 said once that he was a Mexicano...
    so what he said doesn't make him a white racist

    There is stereotype and there is reality. As gmatov pointed out, black leaders are begging for the murders to stop (pretty difficult considering the gangster rap culture). The murders weren't comitted by stereotype....
