Maybe pay attention then? Or maybe I hit the jackpot in ultra crazy Baptists and my perspective is skewed?
I think this might be accurate. I feel like I have been to a lot of Kansas weddings. . .and none were of this type.
This disagreement could be seen as a microcosm of the greater difference between the dems and pubs on this board. We all have different experiences, so something obvious to one person seems foreign to another and vice versa.
I have never known anyone that owned a gun that wasn't almost overly responsible with it. Even if they were a little lax, they weren't going to bring it out in an inappropriate situation and would never discharge it in a place that wasn't strictly allowed. (Mind you, I am young enough most of my friends aren't to the "stand your ground to protect the family" stages of their lives).
RE: disagreement...at least with respect to myself...I know I can come off prickly sometimes. I'm aware that I agree with 95% of the stuff posted, and because I agree I don't really comment. It's the very small percentage that I disagree with that I comment on. I'm sure that makes me appear to be disagreeable. Anyway, I certainly don't post to try and let people know I'm right, I'm just searching for the truth through conversation, and sometimes I have been wrong and have changed my mind.
A lot of my posts are for the purpose in the pit, to learn. Other times I'm just being a dick because something isn't pleasing in my personal life. Other times the ex debater in me comes out for funsies. My posts about the wife property were solely because I crunched the numbers.
On the whole, I generally enjoy playing devils advocate. Rarely are they hills I want to die on.
