RE: Just for fun dachshund meme on fetch.
Wow, yeah that can actually have some impact, good words were mostly said by the people of that era

Well, they ruled the known world back when this was said, so it does give a little strength, ROFLOL!
They were smart to allow those they controlled to follow their own beliefs, and still to be part of the overall "Pax Romana" (the peace of Rome)!
:)>True, the general concept is that with time people are gaining more and more freedom to keep their beliefs but in my belief its the clear opposite
Sadly, when one person gets some authority over a second person; they want more. Each time they gain more power, the second person is less free; and the first one still wants more! We are now in that spiral of power versus freedom.
Now the first person has decided that they are entitled to permanent use of that loaned power. This is the beginning of a permanent ruling class, or violence to remind the first that they are not rulers.
They do not seem to understand that:
Samuel Butler's (1612-1680) ginormous 17th-century poem Hudibras. Part III, Canto iii, lines 547-550.
Basically, using force to convert, does NOT actually convert! Only rational debate can do this; except they fear free thought and speech. Interesting mess!
The Founding Fathers here understood this problem in Human nature, and allowed for it in our Bill of Rights, by ensuring free speech, and ensuring we were armed, in case debate failed.
:)>True, this is why the power has been in limited hands and more and more people are losing freedom. Well said @smithlabs
I love the amount of effort you put in a single comment like I am so glad to be a friend here, makes me feel important :)
True, it just becomes a full bulk of mess and nothing else.
People before us had more wisdom, better knowledge and freedom to live the way they wanted. Now, I too want to be armed and learn how to shoot
I would be happy to teach you. I do Not know what the requirements are for firearms where you are located. Having one there might be a problem, I hope not!
They are good insurance against violence!
Steemit is really slow now, my 30 replies has dropped to 2, so I have time, ROFLOL! There is a lot more activity on weku these days.
:)>It shouldn't be a problem if it is gained with a proper license. But it will not be very common to own a gun here, most people don't.
True, we should be equipped to face any sort of danger.
Steemit is slow, I agree, the account building is too slow also. What about weku? It has a lot more happening there? Why don't you tag me to the interesting one's so that we can interact with more people there
A gun is only a tool, and the person carrying it is the intelligence that directs this tool.
If the intelligence directing the gun is Amoral or evil, the results will be bad; but if the intelligence guiding the use of that same gun is a good and Moral Man, it can be a blessing!
A man went into a Burger King years ago, and asked the counter girl for a date; she said No. He pulled out a pistol and shot at her nine times, hit her three. I Man with his family eating at the resteraunt pulled his concealed carry firearm, and shot him through the heart. The counter girl survived and recovered completely.
:)>True, its all in the hands of the man carrying it, I believe everything could be used in both positive and negative ways, it's just on us.
Wow that is a perfect example of how similar tool can be used both ways, I am sure that girl would've been saved by a miracle but that guy deserved the bullet in his heart, wait a minute, I don't think he had any
