12 shot dead at movie theater

[ProgMatinee]

I hope you realize that you're comparing worse than apples and oranges. Comparing someone being a jerk to someone letting a child die is beyond ridiculous, its idiotic. How do you even come up with this? It would be like me getting into an argument with a neighbor and then thinking," man, I hope they don't let my kid die sometime."

Its not even a normal progression of thought.

Sure, it's a bad example. I admit it. Sue me. If you couldn't get the point I was making out of the extreme example I'm sorry.

I'll use a less dramatic metaphor.

The neighbor is doing nothing other than inflaming a situation. If someone is intimidated or humiliated with a sign pointing out their political beliefs and more importantly sending an open invitation to criminals to rob their neighbor (by admitting they don't watch out for each other), you really expect them to go out of their way to help them on the other side?

Lets say it's a cup of sugar or mowing the lawn while their away, or watching the house while their on vacation.

I guess you live in a neighborhood where people do this to each other and then kiss each other goodnight? If you do, great. I don't think people around me would appreciate it if I posted a sign telling potential criminals to go next door.

If you had a neighbor that had an abortion, would you post a sign about it? Or were homosexuals, or any other political/social disagreement you had with them...you'd broadcast that and expect them to hold no ill will?

Furthermore, you don't condone letting the child choke but you do condone letting someone be killed without aiding them as the sign basically implies? What's the difference? Or are you saying the sign shouldn't be taken at face value?
If you say the sign is just a sign, then ok, what's the point of the sign if it shouldn't be taken seriously?
What happened to our society if te only way to makes point istostoop this low.

blah, blah, blah...

Furthermore, blah , blah, blah....

Niltusk, meet ProgMatinee.

I get what you're saying Nam', loud and clear.....

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Niltusk, meet ProgMatinee.

I concur.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Lol I concur as well.

How is it someone else's responsibility to save a person if that person's ignorance and pride cause him or his loved ones harm? Do you knock on your neighbor's door and ask him to help you wipe your ass too?

Let me ask you the same question using ProgLogic: Your neighbor was trying to make an explosive vest to utilize for a suicide bomber. When trying it on, he accidentally set off the timer, which intentionally has no failsafe and cannot be disarmed. He then begs for you to help him try to disarm it before it goes off, blowing up his house and his family inside. Would you help?

What you miss isn't that I'm arguing that this guy has any duty, it's why would you put a sign out in the yard to advertise your lack of duty, and advertising your neighbors lack of gun ownership? Reading is fundamental, nam

You didn't answer the question.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Pfft your question wasn't related to anything I was talking about. Lol

For your sake, I can answer it, the neighbor doesn't have any duty to stop a hypothetical crime or help him if injured.

Can you answer why it's the neighbors duty to advertise the guys lack of security?

You still didn't answer the question. Try again.

Do you even read the stupid crap you post?

Pfft. You still didn't answer mine. Try again.

 

[ProgMatinee]

So what's your point? Do you have that sign in your yard? Bet you don't.

 

[Niltusk]

One of those signs would never fly in my neighborhood. All of my neighbors that I know (and I know most of my neighbors) hunt and shoot recreationally, so I'd have nowhere to point it.

So what's your point? Do you have that sign in your yard? Bet you don't.

No, thats not my yard in the pic, genius. I'm also not so afraid to glance sideways at another person and offend them in fear they may let a relative die. How do you type from inside that bubble? And... you shouldn't knock anyone elses reading comprehension, you have pretty much zilch. What would that sign in my yard have to do with anything, anyway?

 

[thenammagazine]

Pfft. You still didn't answer mine. Try again.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. More evasive BS. The question wasn't a general one, it was a personal one. Yet, you keep avoiding it. I wonder why that is?

You'll get your answer as soon as you answer mine given that's the order in which they were asked.

I didn't ask if that was your sign, I asked do you have one like it because you really act like you do. So I'm curious how it has affected the relationship between you and that neighbor.

Anyway, i can see you guys are more interested in fighting than actually discussing this.

I'd love to see your logic as to why the sign was necessary, but I'm not into pissing war and name calling.

i.e. "I have no argument."

Honestly, if some self-righteous son of a _____ neighbor had the audacity to invade my privacy and lecture me about gun control, I would be more than happy to oblige with a sign like that. Then let him reap what he sows. The cold hard pain of a reality check often stings the pride of idiots.

I tried to answer it, but here it is again....."no".

It's not anyone's responsibility to look out for someone else. I've never even remotely said it was, and you guys arguing are somehow missing that. My question is simple and you've ignored it. What's the point of the sign other than to incite? And is inciting angst between neighbors beneficial in anyway?

For the record and you guys probably miss it in your rush to fight with anyone not 100% agreeing is that I myself support the second amendment.

I just don't support brazenly calling out your neighbors with signs.

Anyway, I'm not interested in name calling pissing contest. Would have loved the discussion without it.

 

[thenammagazine]

I didn't ask what the neighbor should do, Prog. "Reading is fundamental." It was what would YOU do. You didn't directly answer that until the quoted post, and I'm not certain that's even really a direct answer.
