I went through that phase back in high school. Turns out my dick is too big for skinny jeans so if I ever got a boner in public it was like a beacon for everyone around me. But seriously, if you're even remotely hesitant to change your image, don't. Odds are you'll end up feeling embarrassed and regret it. Only do it if you're sure.

I wish my country could go a couple of week without some fucked up mass killing.

Like "sniper killed 5 cops before being taken out by remote explosive"
I know those anti-gun nuts will be online preaching all about not letting people have guns, but the fact is with access to our technology any one of us could easily kill dozens of people.

Dunno what to tell you jutsu, but my condolences to you and your country. While I can't really relate through mass shootings, just today five teenagers were killed by a man with a sword, which tends to be the classic murder case these days.

Anyone that argues that taking away guns will reduce murder rates is retarded, you could easily make a bomb from household items or simply use a kitchen knife. People will always find a weapon to kill who they despise, and if they can't; then they'll use their own hands

The real solution would be to teach people to be careful with them, not simply trying to push away the problem

By when are you expecting to finish?


Right now I'm in the middle of it. Though I'm trying to put some more character development in between action. If I try, it could be completed in a week.

Find me a man who can kill/injure 14 cops with a kitchen knife and I'll bow down to him

solution to what, accidental gun deaths? no one here is talking about that and there's already a huge emphasis placed on firearm safety in the US. unless you honestly believe these psychopaths shoot and kill innocent people because society collectively failed to teach them how to be careful with a gun

Yeah cops are trickier to kill than most civilians, probably because they're armed.

Dude that's raw AF. I would greatly prefer to not get killed by sword if possible.

I'm not sure about that. You can't deny that guns are deadlier than other weapons (excluding explosives). A school shooter wouldn't do as much damage with a knife. On the other hand, I can't really relate to the problem since I'm not american, thus I'm not really knowledgeable to the situation.

God no, that was not what I think at all. Idiots blame society instead of blaming the individuals who chose to do what they did with their own free will.

I suppose there wouldn't be much that could be done. What I mean to say is that psychopaths do what they can to cause havoc and death, no matter what weapon is banned. They find a way, no matter what you try to do.

I never meant with an idea of quantity at mind, I meant with quality. While I'm not going to debate about the lethality of a gun, such a discussion is stupid at best, a knife can be in its own way dangerous. Its silenter than a gun, and in the hands of someone who's preparing himself for a long time not even screams will be heard in the building to prepare the others.

Sword tends to be a slower way to die than a bullet to the head

Yeah I mean you could potentially take more lives with firearms, but you could easily inflict as much terror with a knife.

Imagine being told that your child was stabbed so viciously, that even after they died they were still being stabbed.

Besides, it's not like knife and gun are the only options here. It's not like putting a ban out on firearms will create some gentlemans' rule restricting criminals to melee weapons. Just look at the creative shit people come up with when they have access to NO weaponry at all. Like that Canadian prisoner that made a crossbow from scratch.
Just imagine what horrors our machinations can spawn with access to the sort of technology and knowledge the American populous has.

As a fan of medieval weaponry I can't agree more. Though there would be something poetic about dying in a sword duel, like a mutual one.

lol if that's what you meant to say then phrasing it as "The real solution would be to teach people to be careful with them" was an odd choice

You and me both my friend, you and me both. I've pretty much raised myself on the idea that hand to hand combat is the most honorable way to die, enemies locking eyes in a duel to see who lays dead. No strategy, no tricks, just skill and strength.

English isn't my first language, so me saying an odd choice in this language doesn't surprise me haha.

Also, as far as teaching people how to use guns, it's not only about guns, but about not using violence to solve ones problems. It sounds kind of naive and sachharine* but it's true.



*did I spell that correctly?

Edit: However, it wouldn't help if the one being taught is an apathetic sociopath who would kill just for the fun of it.
