No it isn't difficult at all. I was going by what I read and nothing I read indicated that the noises he heard were sexual. You and the other poster seem to be not only assuming that they were, but that the dad also should have known that. Personally I would rather stick to the facts and leave it at that.


You wouldnt know a fact if it bit you on the arse, so here is one for you to consider.

"The father, who was not identified, was notified by one of his children that there was someone in his 16-year-old daughter's room, the report said. He reportedly found his daughter in bed with the teen."

Oh look there was a link after all, thanks for that.

OK, I call foul here.

What exactly is the "anti self defense" side? Do you think I'm there? How do I fit in knowing that on one hand I'm perfectly cool with having defended my wife and myself and unconcerned about the consequences to the perpetrator yet I am strongly against SYG laws. I'm in favor of gun ownership but it isn't robbers or kids with skittles that I want protection against... it's the US Govt. In order to get that protection I'm willing to approve of gun ownership and the obvious blood bath that accompanies it.

So where on your scale am I? My "foul" relates to the idea that by defining someone "anti self defense" you are kind of self selecting for "isn't going to be cool with vigilante justice" which means they probably aren't going to approve of shootings except in the most egregious of cases.

No I most emphatically do not consider you on the anti self defense side.
Remember in the other thread I mentioned, and so did you the kind of people who
if a guy pulled a knife on someone and demanded their lighter would claim he got shot because
his intended victim valued a lighter over a human life.
Those are the people I was referring too.
We both know you are NOT one of them.

Another good example is a gentleman who makes frequent appearances and sets the standard so high that you have to be injured
(to be fair I think he would accept if they fired a shot and missed) before you can legitimately defend yourself.
Again we both know that does not describe you.
I like people with whom I can discuss things civilly agree or not.
I consider you one of these.

Laughable bullshit...... Your making crap up about lighters since the real reasons most of us have spoken of re shootings are valid points. Such as the guy shot for throwing popcorn, or the kid eating skittles, or even here, the kid invited into a girls bedroom.

As for trying to say people against needless shootings are being anti self defence......thats a fucking disgrace.

Since the United States did not have a standing army, each militia member could in effect, hold ownership of their firearm. How much of an understatement would it be to say that a 'few' things in America have changed from the 18th century into the first dozen or so years of the new millennium?

I see that once again your wisdom outranks both law and history.

Since we *do* in fact have some Supreme Court approved gun laws, seems law and history trump your wisdom.

If you knew the background of that you would be aware that in spite of rulings like Heller
and the writings of the people who wrote the 2nd his wisdom tells him that the 2nd is not
an individual right.

You really aren't good with language.

I can only respond to what you actually write. I've no idea what's in that swirling mind of yours. Or his.

Your statement, as posted, is obviously incorrect. That's the point.

If you want to quibble with *his* posting history, then do that. With words, not inside your head.

Since I was not posting for your edification and he knew the history there was no need to recount it
you, for example do not recount our entire history each time you post to me. Still your mistake
is quite understandable.

I see you have trouble grasping the public forum concept as well.

And you posted directly in response to me. Imagine my confusion.

What I posted directly to you was a brief overview of the nature of my criticism
of his post, I apologize for overestimating your cognitive ability.

I am not the least bit confused, why do you ignore TOS and try to make other posters the subject?

Here's a tip.

If you didn't address this to me, I wouldn't be responding directly to you.

See how that works?

If you don't want to be a part of the conversation, don't put yourself into it.

What I *keep* responding to is the discrepancy between what you actually post (per TOS) and what you later say you posted, despite the actual words in the post.

Instead of continuing this silliness, why don't you keep it about the post instead of playing persecuted victim? You'll note I don't play victim when you attack me (since you're so fond of following the TOS).

Keep it about the topic, and maybe you won't feel so defensive.

Unless you feel an attack on a position equals a personal attack. I'm beginning to think you do.

Here is a tip don't dodge the issue with attacks on people.
I do not feel an attack on the position is an attack on me but you
keep tacking on things like get help before you hurt someone which
is a personal attack. If you were as concerned with the issues as you are
in pretending to be better than everyone else it would be much easier
to get along with people.

By "people," you apparently mean "you." Another example of your propensity toward exaggeration and extremes in your posts.

And again, what's in your head and what's in the posts are not the same thing. That's 99% of your frustration, clinging what what isn't there.

Slow down. Breathe. Drop the defensive knee-jerk reactions long enough to actually see what's really there. THEN respond.
