  2. ART is incapable of answering such questions.

    He will just dodge it AGAIN with some excuse.
    Once again.... this is just an ART SERMON, not a discussion.
    Its HILARIOUS that he actually CHANGES peoples hypothetical
    situations and THEN answers.

    Dont you understand what the purpose of a hypothetical is ART? :D

  3. Come again?

    If by patriots you mean those who defend themselves without seeking to kill all men, women and children (ie civilians) that they possibly can in order to sow terror and try to create a pan-fanatical religious and oppressive state, which ultimately will kill all non-believers. Remember that the Taliban began forcing Hindus, among others, to wear badges to identify themselves. Sound familiar? Remember too that they outlawed conversions and sentenced to death not only those who spread a different religious message, but also those who they assumed may have dared to convert. I hope these are not the people you are calling "patriots."

  4. Well already we have a moral absolute that is far, far, far closer to our principles and standards than to those of the terrorists. Where is the consistency??

    "Quote from ARogueTrader:
    I do argue for moral absolutes.
    Start with this one:
    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. "

  6. What would I do?

    Don't know. I never know with hypothetical. I don't have programmed responses to all potential hypothetical, do you?

    The instinct for survival would likely kick in, but it is man's evolution that elevates him over the purely instinctual behavior of animals.

    Again, it is a hypothetical.

  7. You dont know what you would do??!?!?!

    Are you serious???

    Its not OBVIOUS with your young daughter clinging to your
    leg behind you in terror???

    You wouldn't know to immediately defend your family?
    You would freely put your daughters life into the hands
    of this lunatic?!?!
    Your some piece of work 777.

    Im not too worried though..... Darwin takes care of people like you :D

  8. I'd read another version of the "Texas Family Saga." It does not end with "Band!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Click.Click." It continues:

    Daughter:"Nice shooting, Dad. Tight group. I think I saw him twitch."

    Wife:" She's right, honey. I saw it, too. Here finish him off with my .45."

  10. I might, who knows?

    Hypotheticals are just that, who knows?

    Our resident chickenhawks of course think they would be Rambo...LMAO.
