Thank goodness we have the right to defend ourselves, at least in some
states.

A man in his early 30s entered Armen's House of Music one afternoon, looked around and left. He
returned just a few minutes later with a wooden club and began attacking the owner's wife, Sylvia
Armen, who was working in the store at the time. The owner, Alfred Armen, heard the commotion and
ran to his wife's aid. He tried to defend his wife and fought with the suspect before shooting him
fatally. Mr. and Mrs. Armen were later taken to a hospital with head injuries and are expected to
recover. According to police, there was no motive behind the attack. (WTAE.com, Bethel Park, PA,)

In certain circumstances. Hammers are for nails but they're used to
bang on a whole lot of things that don't require banging.

In cases involving human beings confronting one another, they're
mainly used inappropriately for the wrong or bad purpose.

They should then be banned. Confiscation of hammers should begin immediately.

Suppose we just ban 'assault hammers', i.e., those with a handle over 6" in length or a thong
through the handle, or both.

Nails and hammers. What have they to do with this? Yep, nothing.

Think about it...Hammers don't kill, people kill.

Outlaw bad behavior. (That was funny the first time it was said!)

I should have realized this metaphor was too big a leap for the
simpletons in rec.boats.

The liberal "Intellectuals" chime in and high five each other.

The “Intellectuals�:

The “Intellectuals� are an interesting group of people. They’re
typically your academics, people who have very strong academic
accomplishments, or believe that they do (these can be interchanged).
They often think of themselves as smart people, and associate with
like-minded “smart people.� They’re especially found in Ivy League
colleges, though this phenomenon easily exists in non-Ivy League
schools as well. It extends beyond just the college and university
scene, however; other education institutions have similar groups, and
the media is full of such people.

These people are usually fairly responsible, fairly intelligent, and
are going in a good direction in life- at least academically. However,
all of them fall victim to one trap: they believe that everyone else
is just as responsible and intelligent as them. Thus, they fall into
an ideological world view, which believes that everything can be
perfect, and that cases of “human nature� such as greed simply do not
exist. (This explains why far left liberals supported communism- they
thought people would be happy with “to each according to their
need�…clearly, that did not work)

These people believe that things like abortion should be legal,
because people will be responsible with it, and not take advantage of
it. These people believe that drugs should be legalized, for the same
reasons. These people believe that children should be exposed to sex
and violence (including things that can be seen as the promotion of
them), because children would be responsible with such matters. These
people do not think things on television and mass media should be
regulated, thinking that all people are responsible enough to handle
indecent material. They believe all criminals can be “rehabilitated�
and become responsible like them, and thus they oppose things like the
death penalty. The list goes on and on, but the key thing you must
know about these people: they’re frequently not in touch with reality
itself- they’re like bookworms. They don’t realize the problems in the
world for what they really are, but think they do.

Therefore, they fall victim to an ideological world view which simply
does not work in reality: liberalism.

Everything these intellectuals do now has been done before, in
essence: Karl Marx once presented an ideological leftist world view.
It didn’t work, but it sure sounded great when he presented his
ideology. What looks good on paper may not look good in reality, and
that is one thing the “intellectual left� does not understand.

These people also fundamentally believe they are right, and will
refuse to argue with anyone who they think is of “less merit� than
them; they’re very elitist to a sense, and therefore blindly hold to
their ideology despite any arguments thrown at them. It is Ivy League
arrogance, journalistic elitism, and whatever else you can name, at
its finest.

The ?Intellectuals?:


Oh, please. That "Liberal" piece was just a screed written by a
"Conservative" who fancies himself an "intellectual."
Do you seriously think the two sides don't use the same arguing tactics?
The big difference is that "liberals" will cite people like Voltaire,
Lincoln, and Dostoevsky to "prove" their intellectualism.
"Conservatives" will cite Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck.
Both think they are ****ing "intellectuals" and the others are stupid.
jps used a simple metaphor, but it didn't fit and it was a dodge too.
He could have just come out and said "A gun can be very useful."
Then argue the downsides.
But he tied it all up with hammers and nails.
Dishonest argument, IMO.
Best to be honest.
