whoa! My colleague at work did something similar, he is 67 and his vision is still incredible! Spends time shooting birds and you don't want to know how many he kills when he's having a bad day.sundaymorningstaple wrote:PNGMK, one woulda thought, yeah? I actually shot the guy in Dec 1968, 5 months after I was discharged from active duty. I was the night manager of a Holiday Inn in My home town and was held up at 3:30 in the morning. Long story, short, I almost decapitated one of the guys (the one who was armed) with a single hip shot from a double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buck.
omg you actually shot a person before? That's ghastly.sundaymorningstaple wrote:PNGMK, one woulda thought, yeah? I actually shot the guy in Dec 1968, 5 months after I was discharged from active duty.

Nothing in Christ's message excuses us from pain and misery on earth. If anything we are told that we will suffer more as Christians.Strong Eagle wrote:Yeppers... and I bet Jesus would be standing right next to you hollering, "You tell 'em, dude!"PNGMK wrote:As a Christian I hope he died a painful miserable death...
Jesus never said that. Only the men that created that Christian regime said that.PNGMK wrote:Nothing in Christ's message excuses us from pain and misery on earth.

I never advocated self flagellation. What I said is that being a Christian is not a get out of jail card for earthly suffering.Strong Eagle wrote:Jesus never said that.

It would be worthwhile for you to read about historical Christianity. The suffering and other barrels full of bullshit that the church promulgates have nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus.
I mean... really... what kind of f*cking, loving god sentences his creations to eternal hell for failure to follow convoluted, impossible to follow instructions? It's bullshit.
You just want to self flagellate and have some mythical being tell you that you are OK... if you'll just do some more of the same. You replace one addiction with another, in this case, adherence to a religious dogma that promises to provide you with certainty and stability. Except, you actually have neither... just a house of cards and a need to spout dogma to avoid seeing the truth.
It's not spiritual, it's about keeping your ego happy.
Obama must have been lurking around here....Beeroclock wrote:Personally I strongly believe that limiting the accessibility of guns reduces the chances a lot. Yes of course it can still happen, but not this frequently. The gun lobby is just too powerful in America so I doubt anything will ever change there and these incidents will keep happening every other month, which is a real shame. I was not really a John Howard fan, but the best thing he did, IMHO will be his legacy, was tightening up the gun laws in Australia after the Port Arthur massacre.
