Thorn,
You might do well to research who the people on this board are before you sling monkey crap at the whole crowd. You can try to dismiss the folks who offered counterarguments to your statements with a lame ad hominem attack, but it won't stand examination. You will find far more people here who are creative, productive, intelligent, well traveled, self starters with a wider range of religious beliefs (or absence of) than the lame provincial stereotype you tried to hang around everyone's neck. Heck, the single largest profession here is IT geeks.
IF you take the time to look you'll find posts from Pax, me and others who have also brought up the question of whether some members sound bloodthirsty. We've asked how others might view us as a community. We've discussed how anti's might use the site against our unifying belief that every individual has the right to defend themselves and others with the most effective means available, firearms. What you won't find is these issues discussed reasonably because we got spanked for sloppy clichéd thinking.
:banghead:
And just so that others from the outside reading this don't think I'm some KKK hillbilly - non-IT technical professional, home owning, classical liberal, agnostic, theater season ticket holding, ballet watching, symphony supporting, environmentalist, military weapons collecting, martial arts practicing, PERSON!
