I'm sorry, but then I'd have nothing to say.
Sorry. Every now and then I get carried away and call someone a "politician." I promise to restrain myself in future.
For Reference:
S*nator

P^litician
I am very sorry for mentioning the G*sol brothers. It won't happen again.
I suppose calling someone a Keynesian is out then?
Somebody whose name I won't repeat acted like they were on drugs by letting loose with vulgar insults calling everybody and their mother the F-word. He even called Keynes a different f-word that was coarse, bigoted and inappropriate, too. (I don't think he's for gay marriage.) Someone like that is a schoolyard bully and should have his mouth washed out with soap, and be led by the ear to the principal's office for swats on his rear end. In general, I have a laissez-faire attitude when it comes to free speech. I just object to hate speech and pure insulting language without any content. That Mesa guy (oops) has got to get a life and cool it with the abusive language.
Thirteen killed by an angry gunman in a place where new immigrants were learning English. Ten killed by another gunman in a nursing home in Alabama. Four policemen killed by a parolee after being stopped by the police. The "modern" gun, a term used by some gun-toting libertarian commenter on this blog is being used to perpetrate massacres and mayhem on what seems like a daily and weekly basis. What do libertarians propose? Arm grandma who is suffering from dementia with an Uzi in her convalesent home? The Supreme Ct. recently told us what the drafters of the Constitution really meant at a time when a militia was armed with muskets. All I see is the deadly and bloody aftermath of Scalia and Thomas' interpretation some 230 years later, now carried out with "modern" weapons of horrendous killing capacity. I really hate hunters and gun-loving dudes like that late NRA ass, Chuck Heston. I hope that my sincere expression of disgust isn't construed as hate speech.
What does arming grannies with Uzi's got to do with vulgar language, TrUmPiT?
Trade offs: societies that have prohibitted weapons have seen some mass murder (deadly and bloody aftermaths) on scales that cannot even compare. And the kicker; these were perpetrated by those in government.
Another thing to consider: the vast majority of people are not in possession of their weapons during the couse of the day [in fact most probably do not even own a weapon]. But what if they were [what if they did]?
Quote from TrUmPiT: "The "modern" gun, a term used by some gun-toting libertarian commenter on this blog is being used to perpetrate massacres and mayhem on what seems like a daily and weekly basis."
Actually, I don't own any guns, and I never expressed any support for massacres or mayhem, only self defense. Your position is a false dichotomy that assumes the presence of weapons means the presence of violence.
It's cliche, but when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
TrUmPiT has a point… Labradoodle being shot by a cop in Oklahoma for coming out to greet him:

Mesa Econoguy is not naming names.
Oh come on Russ, we're just playin'
And by the way, f%^k off!
Come on people I think Russ is just trying to run a classy operation and if you must vent your frustration do so in a intelligent way! Remember the first one who goes personal or uses foul language shows that they cannot win the argument on merit! There are plenty of places to engage in rude behavior but the host of this site has politely asked you to mind your manners in his domain. If you value the contribution to knowledge you gain from Cafe Hayek please give due respect to Russ and Don! It's a privilege to read Cafe Hayek don't abuse it!
It may behoove the proprietors to introduce a comment ranking system. High quality comments could be moved up the list via rankings from other users, and low quality moved down. It would also cause people to stay on topic, since their comments could be moved around randomly.
"comment ranking system"
The ability to filter out certain posters would be useful.
Not for ranking, just have the moderators delete vulgar post. Intellectually speaking, survival of the fittest
