Terry, you've crossed the line this time!  The Great Pumpkin brings presents on Halloween, he doesn't take you away when you die, that's the Tooth Fairy!

That's the GRIM REAPER and he is waiting on BOTH of you

No way, dude, Grim is a great guy!  He even mentors a couple of kids named Billy and Mandy

Didn't he and his brother write fairy tales? Or was that the Bee Gees?

I agree with that "fight back" mentality too Bobby, I can't accept our government's assertion that the safest thing that you can do in a robbery or rape situation is just comply with the perpetrator, but equally, I really don't like the idea of normal people arming themselves on a daily basis, "just in case".

As I'm sure you probably remember from your mis-spent youth, a 2x4 or even a trash can lid can prove to be a valuable defensive weapon, in a pinch. Cheers, Terry.    

So, here's a question for everyone on the forum. Not just those of you living in the US.

Am I an absolute prat for always assuming the best in people?

All this talk about arming yourself 'just in case' is so alien to me. I used to be a gunnery training officer with the Air Cadets in the UK (.22 and .303 rifles) and we were routinely reminded (via educational briefings) of the horrors of even a 'simple' flesh wound. I just cannot wrap my head around the concept of having such a potentially lethal weapon in my house 'just in case'.

No, you are nor being a prat. You have the right to feel any way you want on the subject and live your life accordingly. On the other hand those that feel the opposite way can live thier lives accordingly. It is about choice and being able to make a choice. If you had moved forward into the regular Military, they would have taught you how to inflict even greater horrors on your fellow man. No I am sorry, they drum into your head that they are the "Enemy".

What's a prat?

What's a prat?   

A small yellowish colored fish, native to the icy waters around Denmark, that apparently breeds with it's siblings, and feeds on it's own faeces.

I was talking to a guy at work the other da and he said he has a gun within arms reach of any sitting place in his home, chairs couch even one behind the toilet....

if the zombies ever atack i'm going to hang out at his place

Watch out for your work mate Richard, he's a paranoid pscyzophrenic. Don't think that being his friend will save you when someone eats his cup-cake and he goes ballistic and kills everyone at work either, he'll probably just kill you first so you don't suffer too much anguish waiting around under your desk for your appointment with the Great Pumpkin.............. 

actually he would probably ask me if i want to join in on the mayhem
