first of all i want to know when there has actually been somebody in your house? sure it happens but i dont think youve ever had the pleasure of having someone break into your house. i havent. and if somebody did or you came home and they were there what would you do? would you have time to run to your gun? would you really kill somebody, you can blame it on them and say "they where in my house..." but that dosent make it any better. not saying you shouldnt defend yourself but how far would you actually take "defending" yourself? i would just like to know because why cry over something you know nothing of. whatever happens happens. deal with the consequences.
when i first read this post i was agreeing with you 100%. but have since changed my view. its true to a point. men you could say are being taught to be calmer, but thats not a bad thing is it? i mean i know i dont want to see a bunch of grown men running around fighting over something and getting thrown in jail for the night for no reason. i can agree with you there is a "sissification" going on. when shows like queer eye for the straight guy (nothing against the show or gay people) are plastered everywhere i turn. if anybody has been getting more power its women and thats a good thing. so the roles i wouldnt say switching but they are starting to even out.
the kids fighting in school, kids will be kids. but have you been to public school? if so you would know that fights dont end anything anymore, they make things worse. and when things like this happen actions like being suspended or expelled have to be taken because there is the safety of the rest of the school to think about. i think columbine was a good example of that.

and the "ghetto" comment made about rappers being alowed to be aggresive is a very big sterotype. i know for a fact that if i went up to any punk or death metal kid and punched them in the face they wouldnt stand there and do nothing. they would beat the crap out of me.

In my country we have 3 choices :

1) you call the police ( But they won't come. And if they come, it will be ALLWAYS to late. ( you're dead, or raped, or robbed...etc...)

2) you shot the guy and if he's just wounded, you know you won a trip to #land.

3) you shot him and you're lucky enough to kill him. And if he didn't have a gun, be sure to have a second gun ( a non-declared gun !!! ) to put on his dead hands. In this last case, it's better to have a strong will and a very very cold blood.

Talk about choices, isn't it ?


I was talking about something I learned in my ethics class here in the States. Go ahead, if you want to shoot to kill thats up to you and you can face the consequences. But if it ever happened to me I wouldn't shoot to kill. I would shoot to injure the guy and if I kill him it could be determined in an autopsy that it was not my intention to kill the guy. Here in America you're allowed to protect your things with reasonable force, but what's reasonable? I say bordering on death but still not killing the guy.

Yeah you could get sued, it happens. But any sane judge will be able to see you were defending yourself and that this person was trespassing and that you are allowed to use reasonable force under law. That's a good enough defence. I think half of you people who claim you would put someone in a coffin are bull#tin'. I doubt you have the cohones.
