If you like, sure. Feel free to look at it that way.

I apologize, Dark Alex. I was rude. I admit I was offended by the "drunk" remark, which I wasn't, but in fact just excited to share that De Niro speech. It was pointed out to me that my multi-posts could be perceived as "spam". They're not, but I removed most of those posts.

Bein' witchin' I'd think you'd figure out that there's way more going on around you and your karma than you might acknowledge.

sometimes my personal world overwhelms the rest of the world, when it hurts alot. ad there will always be things we'll disagree on, i'm not the yesman type, and i don't think you'd like it if i was. no matter what, though, i sincerely apologise.

Do you know who else this year kept apologizing to me for what I don't think I ever figured out...? I'd bet you'd guess right. Even though I rarely agree with that person, I do respect her.
The only real problem with my multiple posts was you. If you don't like what I post, then get down on it. On the forum. What you wrote to me privately left me perplexed. You don't have the right to slap me around. Let me make one thing clear to you: Don't ever think that you "know" me. You don't.

How 'bout irrelevant? It's an absurd leap. Blame? Your subject is merely distracting. Movies may entertain ideas, and titillate, but guns enable violence.

And so do knives, bats, rocks...
As ER said, a gun only does what a person chooses to do with it. Movies give people ideas...and how many movie scenes come right to our minds when the subject comes up?
Irrelevant? Not really. A story well told can give people ideas...and if a person is unstable to begin with, then it can inspire bad actions.
Who responds that way...well, we only know when they do something.
"He seemed like such a quiet person..."

To my mind? NONE.
