Having let me "have the last word" yesterday you seem to have chosen the tedium all by yourself.
Well I don't believe in living in the past. Yesterday is gone.
I guess we are different like that. My dislike for enduring grievous bodily harm outweighs my dislike for administering it.
So you are saying you are prepared to kill a man for poking a pencil at you?
Well yeah... If you view changing your mind as an "unwanted consequence" - that's essentially what I meant by you being prejudiced against your prejudices being challenged.
Yes, I knew you would mean something that bears no relationship to what is actually the case.

See! That principle that you refuse to practice - it would be super handy so I don't have to spell everything out for you.
What I am prepared to do is use any reasonable means necessary (up to and including lethal force) to prevent somebody from inflicting grievous bodily harm upon me. Such as poking my eye out; or stabbing me in the neck with a pencil.

Seems perfectly relevant to me. Maybe your prejudices are blocking your vision?

You seem to regard the pencil as quite a formidable weapon, and I already have one, so why do I need a gun. If nothing else, it would be a far quieter way of filling my assailant full of lead.

It seems my prejudices are causing me no end of trouble, doesn't it?

You just don't like guns. That's fine, but like I said... Those are real strong opinions you hold for an ignoramus.
It's not an opinion in my opinion.
It's a fact, that I do not personally like guns.
And I do not need your opinion on my opinion to meet with your approval as to whether or not my opinion is of ignorance, I will make up my own mind about what I feel about guns, and personally I am not ignorant of the fact that is my own self grown opinion..
Well said.
I think I'm on fire right now, yep, it's a fact, I'm just smoking hot!
And cry like one too, just because I don't like being a Dam.
