Anti- forum needs educating

I love the "guns = penises" argument.

"So go register your penis and have that serial number they assign to it tattooed on there. Right now, in today's society, it's a more dangerous weapon than any gun!"

Oh man, I could have so much fun with that argument!

:D

It's a waste of time, folks. Looks like a bunch of kids to me. You might as well attempt to reason with my cat. It's easy to be idealistic when you have very little experience walking around on this rock, and mommy and daddy are still buyin' your clothes, food, etc.

My standard response to the guns = penises" argument:

Of COURSE my gun is a penis substitute. If I could kill bad guys at seven yards with my penis I wouldn't need a gun!"

Heh heh. There's not much to say to that.
 
Sounds like somebody isn't staying awake during Psych 101. Again. If you're going to quote something, use the entire quote.

Which runs something like: Guns are a penile substitute for people who have a pre-existing emotional disturbance.

That may not be exact, Psyche 101 was many, many moons ago, but it's close.

Lawdog,

This is from the poster "Solstiss" on that board:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>The attraction of the gun is essentially phallic. Holding a gun is like having an erection. It signifies power and virility. They are penis substitiutes. All guns should have a registration code like cars so their whereabouts and ownership can be better tracked. Thank you for listening. Goodnight.

Everything would be applicable to the penis. Hi-capacity, pistol grip, flash hider, select fire, danger to society, do it for the children (gad! did I REALLY say that? :)... you get the picture.

It's such an inane argument. And it seems to me that people pull it out (oops!) when they want to feel highly intellectual.

And yes, I did sleep through psych. What a load of crap. :D

There are dozens of things that are penile substitutes: having the biggest snowblower or lawnmower on the block; the biggest drill; the biggest truck. It's an inane argument, the sort of mental masturbation (no pun intended) that psych students engage in during their first year. But what about the theory of penis envy among women? Wouldn't it follow that women would thus be walking around with 50 cal rifles?

sigh...unfortunately, Ain't it Cool News has gone downhill in the last few years since Harry Knowles (the webmaster) sold his soul to Hollywood.
Other than that, I find Michael Moore to be a boorish, ineffectual jerk who is incapable of anything other than going about and nit-picking things to death with his camera.
For God's sake, the man isn't even witty, he's just an annoying, moronic one-trick-pony who tries to pass himself off as a blue-collar type, when in reality he is nothing more than a white-collar prig who has appointed himself as a god-like protector of blue collar workers.
Oh, and 'Roger and Me' sucked, big time.
The only reason the guy gets any airtime is because he plays a cute housepet to the major networks and/or film distribution companies. (Ooooh, look at the cute fat guy with the camera trying to stick up for the little guy! That's sooooo cuuuuute, let's give him a TV show.)

Moore gets on a moral high horse and acts like it's a big deal to go out and expose hypocrisy in America.

Hey, Michael- WAKE UP! Hypocrisy is a part of life. That's why life ain't fair. Deal with it, get a job, get a haircut, and get an account on Ameritrade.

Sorry for the rant folks, it's just that I'm tired of all the liberal arts students around campus stroking themselves silly over this guy.

Does the length of a post matter to the bbs engine? Cause I posted a post there to the tune of about 30K of "abcdefg..." and when I tried to look at the post it crashed my browser! ;)
