What’s Your View On Self Defense?
by minimus in
1. jw

if someone comes to you with a knife or a gun, would you defend yourself if you could?

if someone tried to beat you up , would you physically engage, run away or just try to talk the person out of beating you up or robbing you?

if you did have a gun to defend yourself would you shoot to kill or would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person?

I carry a firearm because a cop is too heavy.
LOL-----I like that-----hope you don't mind but I plan to use that phrase.

I’m young, physically fit to the max, taller than the average TALL American, taken BJJ for around 5 years, been a bodybuilder for years,

But I will never engage someone in a fight. It’s just not worth it.

First of all, no one ever bothers me because my girl tells me I look like a freaking polar bear dressed in pants and boots.

Second of all, I never hang around stupid people, or go to stupid places, at stupid times.

Third of all, I am a legal CCW. So If I pull out my weapon, it’s to END A DEADLY THREAT. And I don’t miss.
If someone breaks into my home-------they've broken in Mr. and Mrs John Wick's home. ⚰⚰

i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

is it genetic?

How long did people worship Zeus? Was it longer than Christianity's 2000 years?

Most answers say this but they do vary.

Quote; Well, the Greeks seem to have absorbed their pagan religion and pantheon from the Mycenaeans, who in turn may have gotten it from the Minoans, among others in the region. The Minoans were a Bronze Age civilization that flourished from the 27th century BC. Since the Romans took their religion from the Greeks and did not officially adopt Christianity until the early 4th century AD, we are talking about at least 3,000 years.

So about 3000 years, give or take a few hundred years.

My question;
How long will people continue to believe that Jesus will one day come riding in a white horse to render judgment on the whole world?

Will another human rise up and take the place of Jesus thus ending his reign as a God or Son of God depending on which Christian religion a person belongs to.

You think perhaps another thousand years or less before people are finally forced to accept reality?
I mean, people can only wait for so long-----a few thousands years perhaps----but not millions of years before they realize-----I guess we were wrong and he's not coming.

i think cops are getting a bum rap.

are there some cops who shouldn’t be cops?

are some over eager?

It's a mess and needs to be urgently addressed.
I don't think that's gonna happen.
Millions of people on social welfare are never going to give up the free stuff. Society in the USA is going to continue to deteriorate until it one big mess like the movie; ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
