Hang on what happens if we all agree with one person that makes an argument a logical impossibility.
I believe all guns should be legal and compulsory, look at Switzerland dull as white bread and every family has a gun and a 1000 guns.
So lets stop wasting money on education and put a gun in every sweaty palm.

Depends on what year, we had a very old set of encyclopaedias on our shelves growing up and it said stuff like: 'The Japanese are essentially an evil people without a soul'. I wish I was making this up, but I'm not.
Since we can't witness and experience everything that has occurred throughout time and space, we have 2 choices - 1) make an educated guess based on the evidence to hand or 2) Believe the word of someone who has witnessed and experienced everything that has occurred throughout time and space - God.
What a mass murdering bigamist, you don't look for much in your sources.

Everyone has big sharp knives in their kitchens, there are lots of stabbings out on the street. I think the correlation is pretty clear.

Omnipotence has it's perks, especially with the chick-a-dees.
No replace the knives with guns, make your sandwiches by machine gunning a loaf of Mighty White and then firing a bazooka at a block of cheese and use a Desert Eagle on the pickle.
It'll make a mess, but it'll be a don't tread on me, freedom mess.

Lead would contaminate the food, you environmental monster. Now stop taping Caroline Lucas' face to Page 3 photos you Earth hating yet strangely ironic individual.

Is this lovely or creepy? I genuinely can't decide...

Not in relation to a discussion with you, no, as that's not personal to you. I'm not saying we don't all do it, but you often complain when you see people turning that way against you; you called me immature just recently for apprently doing such a thing. Don't be one of the hypocrite sheeple, RC! Be better than us. Teach us.

Yes, but...
RC, let's be friends again!

Wikipedia is excellent for most things.
For example, I used to be a gemmologist (gemstone tester), and I know that every Wikipedia gemstone page is basically written by the same couple of very highly-regarded leaders in the gemmological field. I'm sure it's the case for many other tight-knit industries as well.
The issue tends to be with opinion-based/politicised/controversial/religious topics where the Wikipedia page becomes a ideological battleground.

Critic A cited that Pro-Gun people were 'loonies'
Critic B responded that Anti-Gun people were childishly naïve
There was no hypocrisy in the exchange. Your attempt to add an additional 'personal' bent to the argument, because I called you immature, is immature.
My responses were certainly emotive, I'll grant you that, but based on the previous exchanges over this topic, they are certainly excusable.

That's not exactly what I meant. What I wanted to say is that we shouldn't assist the loonies (i.e. potential family erasers) by giving them weapons for free in Switzerland. My English speaking skills have their limits...that was an annoying misunderstanding, sorry for that.
on the other hand SOME pro weapon guys really are loonies.
