Salt was also used for torture (rubbing into open wounds) So anyone with salt in there house is a potential torturer :rolleyes:

Your rolleyes are the exact response from 99.99% of gun/sword owners, from your overreaction. Much like the millions of sane Muslims, when idiots say "kill all Muslims" You obviously don't have the ability to put yourself into other peoples shoes, with a short sighted blinkered view of yourself.

Actually it was rubbed in along with vinegar, on ships mainly, and was taken out of that man's ration not as further punishment to but to stop infections.

The opinion's of manc's are irrelvent, I know what's best for you. So if I were made PM, I would ban 8800 GTX videocards, as they could be used as a weapon. Therefore you would have to hand them in.

There's a big gap between 'could be used as a weapon' and 'a weapon'.

One is for cooking, one is used for killing.

That gap ain't so big is it?

Masterdog · 12 Dec 2007 at 15:34

Are you telling me you can't tell the difference?

My point wasn't that that specific item could be used as a weapon, just that something dingleberry owns is then classed "illegal" even though what he does with it isn't.

LAWL. That's taking it a bit too far.

Though to be honest, it wouldn't really bother me: Got a 360 a few weeks ago and have barely touched my PC for gaming since.

So err tell me when someone is shoving the cooking knife in your face asking for your wallet, your telling me you will be thinking thank god its not really a weapon?

How bout this weapon or tool?

In hands of a nutter they're exactly the same. If a nutter stabs you with a kithen knife somehow I doubt you'll sigh with relief that it wasen't a "hunting knife" In fact the kitchen knife will do more damage (wider, and longer blade)

Really? Why is that "going too far" yet you're willing to say "if you own x you're a possible murderer"

I've no idea. Which is precisely the point, surely? There's no way anybody could mistake a samurai sword for a useful tool, which is a big argument towards banning it. It's a weapon, plain and simple. The completely valid argument that people enjoy them as a work of art and craftsmanship (a benefit) is in my opinion outweighed by the need to keep them out the reach of potential criminals (a downside). When we start talking about knives and 8800 GTX's, the benefits start outweighing the downsides, and banning them becomes less of a good idea.

well a machete and a kukri are both tools but would probably do far moor damage than any imitation samurai sword, which unlike them would never be able to cut through the arm in one blow.

Also mre people are killed by knives than samurai swords.

Also surely anything that kills over 3000 people a year should be banned, before something that kills 5 shouldn't it?

'cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt'.

Cos banning handguns sure worked to stop people being shot...

Mine aren't imitations nor copies, so does this mean that mine are safe from the thieving politically correct thought police?

badbob · 12 Dec 2007 at 15:46

lso surely anything that kills over 3000 people a year should be banned, before something that kills 5 shouldn't it?

No because the people that want knives and swords banned own cars, so they don't want to be persucted.

Hypercritical or what?? :rolleyes:

Shows that those people are on the power trip (that they believe gun/sword owners are on)
