Man, you've got anger issues. I'm trying to help this girl, and you're giving me this crap. The hell with you. I wasn't addressing you anyway, so stay out of my conversation, jerkoff.

Why are you attacking and insulting me? I disagree with your opinion. The ex gf's attitude changed a lot after I kicked her out of my life. She's TS and she was listening to her TS friends who were telling lies about me. She realized that she was trying to control me and they were influencing her decisions. So she stopped trying to control me. I've got no hopes of an ex gf stalker becoming a gf again- my judgement isn't deficient and I'm definitely not desparate. I see it for what it is. The communication we finally had got rid of my fear and uncertainty and helped me understand what was driving her. People build other people into monsters sometimes based upon fear of the unknown. Sometimes it's just misunderstandings that can be corrected by honest talking to one another (on a phone though, just in case). I'm keeping things to the phone with my ex for now. Maybe in a month, I'll agree to meet with her in a public place.
You see that's just it. When you post on a forum like this it's no longer "your conversation" it becomes "our conversation". "Your conversation" could occur in a private message with Gee thereby avoiding anyone's right to exercise their freedom of speech. Unfortunately by doing so no one but Gee will ever see what a fabulous person you are. Your fragile ego has such a voracious appetite.
Guns are bad, period. They take a lot of the "personal nature" out of killing someone. It's easier to shoot someone from a distance than it is to knife someone in the throat. Only law enforcement and the military should have guns. Sorry if I disagree with the constitutional right to bear arms, but I do.
I never used private messages here yet. I didn't realize there was an app for that here. "Your fragile ego has such a voracious appetite." Your fancy talk doesn't impress me. Is it impossible for you to write anything to me here that isn't demeaning to me? I don't know how angry and spiteful can you get in spitting your hate here. I hope you don't know AsianG personally, because it's angry creeps like you that stir up drama, which is the last thing she should get.
LOL you are hilarious. Let's see.......quick review of pstratton531 posts reveal that you have figured out how to:
1. attach pictures
2. paste links
3. choose icons
4. know the comings and goings of Gee in the USA from your remote location in Paris, France while preparing to visit London as you send well wishes to Apple in the Philippines
5. throw in poor diction when it suites your MO
6. assume to know what another person needs
And you have not figured out how to send a private message?
I will give you that. It is an undeniable fact that having a gun in one's home increases one's risk of injury or death. However, such a factoid is completely redundant when it comes to an issue over people being killed by objects they own.
According to the CDC:
-Approx. 3,500 Americans drown in pools and bathtubs annually.
-Approx. 33,500 Americans killed by motor vehicles annually.
-Approx. 200-250 Americans die in fires due to fireplaces or portable heaters annually.
-Approx. 100 Americans die from CO poisoning due to faulty gas utilities annually.
-Approx. 1,800 Americans die from knife/sharp object stabbings annually.
-Approx. 700 Americans die from falling off a ladder annually.
Essentially, anything even remotely dangerous is automatically now a potential hazard if it is in your home or place of work. Using a gas stove instead of an electric one or having a fire place increases your chances of burning alive in a house fire. Every time you drive to work, you are now at increased risk of dying in a car accident. Getting a boob job? Now you're at increased risk of dying from medical complications. Own a swimming pool? You are now at higher risk for drowning. Taking a shower? You could slip and fall and die.
When it comes down to firearm related accidents (which would fall under the having a gun in your house increasing your risk of harm statistic), it is solely a Darwin Award issue. Stupid people always do stupid things and get themselves hurt or killed. Not using proper firearm safety can result in injury or death. As would someone blow drying their hair whilst taking a shower. Stupidity cannot be stopped nor prevented. Idiots find ways to hurt themselves.
With guns, it boils down to the golden rule of firearms safety. Never point the gun at anything or anyone you do not intend to shoot. That applies to any and all situations, whether the gun is loaded or not, on safe or off safe, or even disassembled or not.
It's a matter of cost/ benefit. The benefits afforded by kitchen knives, cars, ladders and bathtubs enormously outweigh the probability of being killed by said items. Not so for firearms.
The benefit of firearm ownership (unless you're a hunter or sportsman) is nil compared to the risk. The probability that you're going to successfully use that gun in self-defense is virtually non-existent in comparison to the risk that you or someone you love will be killed with that firearm.
It's better to buy a security blanket. The chances of smothering yourself are pretty low, but (just like a gun) the false sense of security it can provide is priceless.
