Words mean things!!!

You are right. Some times we say things that should not be said. And sometimes we say things we would like to do but know better than to actually do.

Good post.

I agree it is a good post. It has certainly made me stop and think of what I say on this board if young people and/or very impressionable people are reading it.

All I can say is your buddy needs a lesson in carrying a concealed weapon. I can tell you this, if someone pulls a gun on me just to scare me they have mede the wrong move. I assure you they will get retaliation in the form of death! People that think they can pull a gun and scare someone to make a point are idiots. You should only pull a gun if you are going to use it to defend yourself because you are scared for your life.

HDF, although I agee that "words mean things", I can't believe that you are taking us to task when you consider all of the violence, foul language, and extremely poor behavior that is shown constantly every day on television, as well as that on DVDs, video games, and the poor example shown by many of todays parents. And, that is especially hard to believe considering the company you keep.

In the end, aren't we accountable for our own actions? I've grown a little tired from all the talk about how violence on TV and videogames caused some kid to kill somebody. The fact is, I grew up playing videogames that were violent, and I loved watching action and horror movies....I have yet to kill anybody. It all boils down to the individual. Does that individual have the ability to descern between reality and fiction. I agree that kids who may already be a little deranged may gravitate towards that kind of entertainment.....but they weren't right to begin with. IMO

If your friend was ready to pull a gun over somebody cutting him off fishing, then he would be no friend of mine! And yes, that is a good way to get himself killed! Pull a gun on me and you better shoot! IMO

It is harder to set the example, than to follow the example.

Well Grumpy, you beat me to it while I was typing my reply. It is similar but a little more in depth. WELL DONE!
