Better there's a chance that he gets stabbed before you do than you just getting stabbed and robbed.

Walk up to him and whisper in his ear that you don't like what he's playing. Then, reach into his guitar case or hat or coffee can and take out two dollars.Wadders said:It should be illegal for the damn busker underneath my window to continue to strum on his guitar and wail and warble tunelessly past 9:30 pm. Bastard kept me awake for ages last night.
no having a weapon turns cowards brave. its better that all weapons be made illegal. if everyone had a kife the muggers could stab you to death and claim it as self defence. they get away with it and you look like the criminal.Fury Is Me. said:Better there's a chance that he gets stabbed before you do than you just getting stabbed and robbed.

OOOORRR what I said, where nobody would want to mug you because they KNOW you have a weapon too. Most cowards are stil cowards, even with a weapon. You can't tell me that just by giving a soldier a gun, it makes him brave. Because that's a lie. The same rule applies for most criminals. I'm not saying it would stop ALL muggings and street crime. Let me put it another way.thephill said:no having a weapon turns cowards brave. its better that all weapons be made illegal. if everyone had a kife the muggers could stab you to death and claim it as self defence. they get away with it and you look like the criminal.Fury Is Me. said:Better there's a chance that he gets stabbed before you do than you just getting stabbed and robbed.

I just died laughing. OK, so to make one thing illegal, I would say the removal of games from production. Just make it to where these games could only be rented by people ages 18+. If the little bastards find a loop-hole by getting an 18 year-old to buy it for them, fine so be it. You can't get everyone.Jamboxdotcom said:as hypocritical as it may sound, i'd legalize and regulate pretty much all drugs, because we've seen how effective the war on drugs has been.
here's where the hypocrisy comes in: i'd make casinos illegal. why? because the people who own them are the scum of the earth. people make the argument that casinos are good for local economy, but that is bullcrap. unless you're in a place like Vegas, Reno, or Atlantic City where your casinos draw people from other places, all a casino does is erode the foundation of your local economy. they bleed money from poor idiots who can't afford to lose money while making 1 or 2 assholes extremely rich. yes, yes, i know, personal accountability... yes, the idiots plugging their life savings away are guilty, too, but that doesn't mean i can't hate on the casinos and their owners.
*edit* damn, it appears i've fallen prey to one of the classic blunders. no, not getting involved in a land war in asia. rather, thinking this would be a semi-serious discussion. sorry 'bout that.
I'll make this illegal. I... don't even know what that implies.Greyfox105 said:I'd make it illegal to make things legal.
Just to watch the system pop a gasket and burn to the ground. Somehow.
Then rebuild the world in a new, glorious image!
