Libs are blaming the right for the failure of Detroit. This makes no sense, as the left has controlled the city for over 50 years.

But you aren't Russian, are you? I was asking for your/anybody's opinion on the US doing that.

Honestly I could care less. Do you feel personally responsible for the Spanish inquisition? I think not.

I would rather face a thousand honest death threats, than have one person pretend to respect my views, who does not. Hate is part of the human experience. To try to deny it is how utopia future gone wrong sci-fi novels start.

Ah, but those are the best sci-fi novels.

I'd say that's two sides of the same coin - death threat vs lack of respect is just two different ways to express an intolerance but fair enough.

Hate is only part of the human experience because we let it become so - I'm not denying it, simply trying to find a way to challenge and overcome it. We're animals who've developed the ability to understand our instincts rather than just live them and let them drive our actions (although they may), thus I'd say that gives us the ability to not hate. The fact that we don't (and furthermore don't realise how much it'd probably be better for us in the long run) just makes it all the more galling. By its nature, hate comes through a lack of understanding and tolerance of others, but those are the very things that can overcome it. Again, so galling.

Anyway, here endeth the lesson - unlikely to happen, I grant you, as hate has a strong connection with power and power... oh how humanity does love power.

I get the feeling you see it as a pointless notion, and to some extent, yes, I'd agree, but that doesn't mean one can't try and challenge it. Better out than in, etc.

I have five simple rules in life,

1. Nothing is free.
2. Respect is earned.
3. If you don't know what you're doing, contact an expert.
4. Never forgive anyone, especially yourself.
5. If you can do it on your own, do it on your own. Self-reliance is the way to go.

Honestly, I can run my whole life, based on just those five rules.

"If you are for gun control, then you're not against guns, because the guns will be needed to disarm people. You'll need to go around, pass laws, and shoot people who resist, kick in doors, and throw people in jail, and so on; rip up families, just to take away guns. So it's not that you're anti-gun, because [...] you'll need the police's guns to take away other people's guns, so you're very pro-gun, you just believe that only the government (which is of course so reliable, honest, moral, virtuous, and forward-thinking</sarcasm>) should be allowed to have guns. So there's no such thing as gun control, there's only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small political elite and their minions. Gun control is a misnomer." - Stefan Molyneux

Well actually in the UK there are strict gun control laws, and police do not carry firearms either (except in Northern Ireland)....so I think it can be done.

Polling is showing the majority of the English want their guns back now.

I've said it before, if you want to try to confiscate all the guns in the U.S. (without much help, since most cops, and the military are conservative), you are more than welcome to try. It just ain't gonna work that well for you.
