I only watch one tv at a time. I will never notice the resolution because I will never see it compared to anything else.


I actually felt this same way back when I rejected 1080p and HD. Being content with what I had, I figured I'd never need to upgrade. It wasn't until I went to my sister's house and saw her 46-inch 1080p TV that I was really blown away. The difference is like night and day, and I didn't need to have them both in front of me. At that size, the 1080p was very noticeable, especially for little details, even though I had nothing immediate to compare it to.

For example, when I watched Back to the Future on DVD, I couldn't see some of the details on the faces of the actors. In 1080p, you can see all this weird shit on Mr. Strickland's neck:

DVD:

Blu-Ray:

I'd imagine if I saw that same movie on an 86-inch screen in 4k format, it would either be much smoother like it was rendered with vectors, and/or much more detailed like being able to see skin texture clearly or what have you.

They'd never actually be able to physically take them. We would probably just get fined for owning them or something. Which would still be bullshit.

Someone I dont know walks into my house, first thing im doing is telling them to get out. Second thing is shooting them.

EDIT: In GA there's a county with a law requiring every resident to own a firearm. And they supposedly have a low crime rate. Makes sense to me. Im not breaking into somebodies house if I know they're packin.

That's why we actually don't have that huge of a theft rate here for such a large country.

You can never tell who is packing a fucking boomstick. And you can never tell who was an ex green beret and could kill your ass with a napkin.

You're much more likely to be killed if you're in possession of a firearm

You are also more likely to get hurt in a fight if you know martial arts. Its because people who are willing to fight back get hurt or killed. Doesnt mean you dont do it.

I'd say the risk of getting killed is a very good reason not to do it.

note that what you said doesn't refer to the people possessing the weapons are like. Most of them are niggers anyways.

The minute I turn of age, i'm getting a concealed weapons permit. Not because I'm a redneck, but because if some fuck taps on my window with a knife trying to get into my car, I'm blowing his fucking brains out.

That doesn't mean you don't try to mitigate those risks whenever possible. To do otherwise is silly.

That is also silly, as well as murder.

Natural Selection. If you don't improve your society by being a contributing member of it, then you deserve to be killed for trying to harass others for wanting to advance.

That is a stupid way of looking at this issue, you expect everyone in the world to simply get on their knees and cry while handing over their possessions to some nigger who is holding a knife to their face because the nigger might react when they pull their gun and try to stop them? If everyone in the world did this crime rates would skyrocket and the world would be overrun with dumb niggers holding out their hands and expecting you to comply when they show some form of aggression.

Also you are ignoring the statistics of fatalities from people who own guns and ARE TRAINED TO USE THEM, vs some gun owner coming out of a sleep and fumbling to grab his gun while a person steals from his house getting shot to death.

I would rather take the higher risk of getting killed and defending myself rather than lie down and HOPE they don't just kill me anyways(which oh by the way happens all the time). This is a retarded debate and you both are feminist loving liberal scum that should be deported to mars, this is PLANET AMERICA, NOW GIT OUT.

Also I own a glock 26 pistol, have a concealed carry license and wear it on my hip when I walk to work through the god damned monkey jungle where 11 year old kids with bandanas hanging out of their pants throw gang signs at me when I walk by. Fuck your I dont know what Im talking about before you say it.

You have just said so many silly things that I am not going to even bother. You are silly.

How do I connect to the goddamn IRC so I can mock and belittle the good people of SPP that subconsciously know they are below me?
