Well bigcountry, I wouldn' t let this kid bother you too much. Maybe he will wake up once the acne clears. How much credit can you give to a kid who thinks someone that lived in Korea for 4 years is a tourist?

i can give a beating and i can take one, too. don' t mess with people with guns, though, so i guess you win in the end.

[&:][&:]I have been to those places too, and as a matter of fact have lived for several years in some of them.

However, to your point about not being " anti-gun" . If you are not, then why would you want to propose another of those tired scenarios which provide forums to those who are?? Eh? Eh? The citizenry' s possession of firearms in this country, overall, has contributed more positives than negatives to our society and our culture!. Why not write something that showcases this fact, instead of what you originally proposed? If indeed you are a writer, which is an assertion you' ll have to demonstrate much more convincingly than merely asserting how intelligent you consider yourself!![&:][&:][&:]

RE: question from a novice (in reply to writer500) BTW, why do you continually respond to your own questions and statements? Is it because you are so intelligent you only consider your own ideas worthy of response, or do you just enjoy listening to your own voice??

Writer500,

I am fairly new to this board. I would agree with most who have posted simply because I too have lived the negatives and belittling of the ANTI' s. I am a doctor and I strive to educate my patients. I use examples for them to describe what happens in their bodies. I would liken your question to asking a bunch of priests to describe normal activities so you could write a fictional story about a priest who has went off and was...say...murdering clerics or something. I agree that I think you came here in good faith and that you didn' t realize that the question that you asked would be offensive.

You gave a little detail, but this sounds extremely offensive to most of us.

On that I can agree with you finally.....But I' m not sure you know what an education is!!
