54. Let me clever it up for you a little.

Let me clever it up for you a little. You see, in the universe, many things may be compared and contrasted without being precisely the same thing. In literature, this is called an analogy, and is a device that helps to establish a relationship based on similarities between two concepts or ideas. By using an analogy we can convey a new idea by using the blueprint of an old one as a basis for understanding.

A difficult concept for the dogmatic, myopic and irrational to fully grasp, yet I have full confidence you'll eventually understand it... given both time and sincerity.

Hope that helps, part two.

I also believe if you have a CHL you stand a good chance of losing it if your convicted on the Waldorf Nov 2015 #30

I believe you're right, GGJohn Nov 2015 #32

Here in Texas they just passed open carry this summer. But you have to have a CHL in order to open Waldorf Nov 2015 #33

*blinks* Wow...I never thought of that idea. And I like it. Lizzie Poppet Nov 2015 #4

Driving isn't a right. You would suspend, then permanently revoke a right? cherokeeprogressive Nov 2015 #20

Just to be clear, you're saying someone who, say, repeatedly is intoxicated thucythucy Nov 2015 #23

I'm saying binary remedies aren't always the answer. cherokeeprogressive Nov 2015 #24

I take it then your answer is "Yes." Nt thucythucy Nov 2015 #26

Who would you appoint to be the arbiter of which rights are reinstated, and when? cherokeeprogressive Nov 2015 #28

Yep. Lizzie Poppet Nov 2015 #27

Walking around in public is a right; public drunkenness is frequently still a crime Orrex Nov 2015 #38

No, people lose that right all the time. Flying Squirrel Nov 2015 #47

No (nt) bigwillq Nov 2015 #25

I don't agree. I think the CWI (carrying while intoxicated) penalties should be harsher. valerief Nov 2015 #34

Wow. Straw Man Nov 2015 #48

What a sorry try. I refuse to trivialize the slaughter guns are designed to do and actually do. valerief Nov 2015 #50
