    Of course you don't. You all intend to but most of you get distracted by the food on offer.

      Sometimes I worry about this country. The guy who thought who had shot two Iranians did not know that Iranians are the wrong guys in the first place. Then he got the wrong guys again. Wrong twice over. And this person worked as a radar operator in a US navy nuclear sub ??!! :omg: :omg: It's not an isolated incident, none of the hate crimes intended to target a certain ethnic group managed to get the right guy. I think there is something wrong with this country's education system. Why don't you guys read a book or something :D

          By "us", are you referring to the European immigrants (or their descendants) in the US? The joke's on you: A Chinese man walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him,and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says, "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Habour, get outta here. "The astonished Chinese man replied, "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbour, it was the Japanese". "Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg. In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg two slaps and says, "You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship. "Shocked, Spielberg replies, "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me." The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

                        I've no doubt that there are numerous racist lunatics like the one who committed this murder, but thankfully most of them are not retarded enough to go out and kill other human beings. This situation is true, regardless of where you turn. In India, the Kannadigas fight with the Tamils, the Tamils fight with the Mallus, and it goes on. On the other hand, and fortunately, there are more good people for every such racist in existence. People like the one who committed this murder though, they go by the "finders keepers" ideology - one which lets those deluded ones believe that "mmuricah/straya/insert whatever land these criminals invaded and committed a genocide in to grab/ is THEIR LAND, and everyone else should go out". "Finders keepers" would sound cute or understandable when it's proclaimed by a 7 year old, or a developmentally challenged adult. The rest are all grumpy old deluded hypocritical shits who are in serious disconnect with reality.

                          "Andy Berthelsen, a neighbor of Purinton's in Olathe for the last 15 years, told the Associated Press that Purinton had become “a drunken mess” after his father's death about 18 months ago. He said he didn’t believe the shooting stemmed from hatred and that it probably resulted from Purinton's physical and mental deterioration."

                                  In fact the greatest leades of the world banned civillians from having weapons, as they are not fit to have them. Mussolini and Hitler knew what was right for us!

                                  Owning a gun would not make a huge difference to my lifestyle. Mind you, if my brother ever decided to give me his Winchester bicentennial...

He said he didn’t believe the shooting stemmed from hatred and that it probably resulted from Purinton's physical and mental deterioration."

                                    The guy was not a "retard"; that's the whole point. He was pissed off with his life, and pissed up. What the rhetoric did was paint a target for him. Yes, there are likely to be more instances, and yes, the behaviour of some members of the security services can be expected to move in a negative direction, but it's a country of 80Meg people, the vast majority of whom are decent folks, so don't go over the top with the condemnation.

                                      In fact, it doesn't - well except if you're into sport shooting, in that case you'll find yourself a bit poorer and with less free weekends. That's the whole point: a sane honest citizen (I know USA have poor control of gun ownership requisites) has little change of lifestyle owning a gun but, if willing, he's capable of defending himself. I used defending, because no matter where the police is or whter they will catch a criminal afer the fact: when you're in your home with your family and several armed intruders your life is in danger there and then, you have seconds while the Police is minutes away. Even if there is a shotting or mugging on the street in order to preserve your life and health and that of those around you you have seconds. That's why I support the right to bear arms - right that in my country (Italy) is choked more and more while gangs have full access to arms - illegal, they are delinquent, they give a damn about any law and still get their own weapons.

                                        Ehm... actually it's how any nation has been founded. Either people settled and held it agaisnt other people from different places or they conquered and held it from other people.

                                        I know, right. :rolleyes: But hang on, "founding" the nation and "holding it from other people (invaders)" has been over since a LONG time. This would be untrue only if you were living in Syria or some such place in the middle of a conflict. Sure, the Russians patrol the US waters now and then, but that's not the case here. This is a case of a cold-blooded murder where one resident of a country shot and killed another one for reasons that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with founding a nation or guarding it. If I were completely naive, I wouldn't have known they're basically setting up a case for "insanity" by proclaiming that this crook is depressed and other nonsense. If only he hadn't shouted "get out of my country" in a public place before shooting someone dead. :doh:

                                          On a second thought, may be everyone should have a gun, given how it's percolated into the culture and society. May be then this criminal could have been shot into a cullender by the rest of the public in that bar. I'm going to agree that everyone should have it, or none.
