Because if you have, then what you have said here, makes you sound like a first class idiot. Did you have the good sense to not make children, and potentially put them in harms way in a world, you and others have created?
Keeping my child (soon - children) out of harm's way is one of the many reasons why I own guns.

I am so fucking glad they live in the world we've created and not in the world as we found it.

What I fear most for my kids is that they might end up living in a world created by incompetent idiots who don't know the first damn thing about risk and safety management. idiots such as yourself.

When I grow up, I want to learn all about risk and safety management; and pretend I'm a policeman, just like my daddy.

Was your daddy really a policeman or are you lying again?

You are missing the point as usual because you are actually quite dumb and stupid.

Supposing your child, soon to be children choose for themselves not to own a gun to protect themself against any potential harm that may or may not encounter in their life. Assuming you are not going to FORCE them to own a gun.

Then one day, your child, teenager, or grown up adult, are out and about on their own, and become the victim of a gunman on the loose, who then murders them by shooting them dead. Where were you to protect them from harms way in that unfortunate incident? ...Surely you are not going to tell me that you and your child, teenager, grown up adult are permanently conjoined at the hip now are you? :roll:

Why are you calling people a liar?

No one posting on this forum knows you personally and can vouch for definite that you are indeed who you say you are.

If anyone on this forum knows Skepdick personally please feel free to verify.

Because I know he's lying.

Yes. And? Does that mean that I am lying or that Harbal is lying?

Sure. I vouch for myself - I am a policeman and Herbal is lying.

But he doesn't know that he is lying, only you do. You are projecting.

Skepdick wrote: Mon May 15, 2023 6:28 pmYes. And? How does this preclude him from lying?
Because he doesn't know he is lying. He cannot prevent being a liar from happening when he doesn't even know he's lying.

Weak invalid response. Harbal doesn't know he's lying. He doesn't know you personally, he hasn't met or seen you in actual realtime to be able to know whether what you say is true...so how could he lie?

It's like someone saying America is on fire to someone who does not live in America who can know for sure that America is indeed on fire.

I told him that he's lying. I should fucking know! I am a policeman.

It's not projection when it's true.

Yes he does. I told him.

So what? I know that he's lying. And I told him.

Very simply: he's telling lies about me.

It's nothing like that. No single person can know whether all of America is on fire - it's a really big place. He has good reason to doubt the person's knowledge.

Harbal has no good reason to doubt my knowledge of being a policeman.

According to my contacts in South Africa, you are not a member of the police, but you are known to them. It seems this isn't the first time you have fraudulently claimed to be a police officer. :|

Sure thing. Now all you have to do is tell everyone my name and my ID number - you know, the details you gave to your contact in South Africa to do a background check on me.

And they everyone can Google me and find out that you are lying.

Careful, before that lie gets out of hand ;)

He can choose to believe you or disbelieve you, but beliefs are not actuality or fact until witnessed as a realtime actual truth.

Beliefs are not actual facts. They are the brains way of making sense of a senseless world, beliefs are representations of world that can only exist as a presentation in the immediate moment, and never as a representation. Until Harbal has met you in realtime up close and personal, he cannot be a liar.

You do not even need to call him a liar, if you are who you say you are is true for you, there is no other person on earth that could ever deny that truth that is there in you. So there is no need for your psychological defense mechanism to go into unnecessary overdrive.

You know damn well that I'm not at liberty to do that. Quite apart from placing my source at risk of exposure, it would be unethical. Besides, I am held in extremely high regard on this forum, and my word alone will be more than enough for most of its members.

I will say that the immediate response of my contact, after my initial request for verification that you actually are a policeman was, "Good God, not again".

Consider yourself at liberty.

Seems to me giving up my personal details is no way a threat to your source.

Your word about yourlself would be held in the highest esteem.

Your word about me required evidence.

Seems to me you don't even know who I am. Very strange that you'd even know what I am not.

My sentiment exactly. You cut my sentiment in two. See next.

Correct.
As I said, this is my sentiment.

WHY, they are ALL REALLY UNNECESSARY?
I’m just stating an obvious real life fact: lots of people have guns in the U.S. And you are correct: the guns are unnecessary (unless lots of people have guns).

commonsense wrote: Sat May 13, 2023 3:52 pm Therefore, on the whole it would be theoretically and practically more sensible to permit everyone to have guns.
WHY?
If lots of people in fact have guns, which they do, then everyone else needs a gun for protection from aberrant gun owners.
Age wrote: Mon May 15, 2023 1:33 pm WHY do you think or BELIEVE that absolutely EVERY one HAVING a gun would be MORE 'sensible'?
See previous.
Age wrote: Mon May 15, 2023 1:33 pm And,
WHY do you think or BELIEVE permitting ALL children to have guns would be MORE 'sensible'?
As long as everyone has a gun, no child will be able to get away with murder.
