The right to arm bears! (& all merged arm/bear threads)

[muy_thaiguy]

Furthermore...we havent discussed the rights of bears to arm me. If you consider i probably would hold my quasi pacifistic stance and take money in lieu of guns, you have to wonder what makes bears so much better than humans. Why cant you for instance send me grocery money, or buy me premium.

Ask not what tonka can do for you, but ask as an honorary member of the bear family, what you can do for tonka.

Discuss.

Can I put you out of your misery? Oops, did I just say that out loud?

[got tonkaed]

no....way to take up the cause of the voiceless disenfranchised bears the world over....

armless bears unite!

Sorry to be a bitch, but you should say 'one armed bears unite'

you see, we ran a poll and the exit results showed the movement would get more sympathy if the bears were portrayed as having 0 arms as opposed to 1 arm.

Then the thread title should be changed.

On another note: You need to get out more.

says the guy who has 2000 more posts than i do....

but still it is true, i should probably get out way more than i do.

[Neoteny]

i probably wouldnt normally myself, but when you have a long break between exams and your marooned on campus....theres a bit of time to kill.

It sort of became a bit of a quest to respond to all the bear threads. All in all, whatever works for people i guess is probably what the forums should be going for, its not like anyone has to read every thread, especially the ones where the last post is by me.

HA! If that's the case you should be studying! Er... like... me? I'm seriously procrastinating studying for my immunology final and i have about an hour left in my animal phys take home...

[got tonkaed]

i have a feeling i wont be able to be put out of my misery on the old forums until i can get people to stop looking at the world through ethnocentric, egotistical, closeminded eyes.

So probably tommorow, with an outside chance of friday if things go slow.

False. thats the difference between hard sciences and the joke of the degree im getting in sociology. Basically i dont really study, i read the material and am captain of the deans list and smartest man alive essentially.

Its really not hard to be a soc undergrad, however i trade it off by being in school the rest of my adult life.

Lazy ass.

[got tonkaed]

i tell you what, as soon as you reasonably convince me, with evidence that isnt anecdotal or circumstantial, that arming a population makes the society safer as a whole, you can use whatever number of high powered weapons necessary to take me down.

Or failing that, you can try using a slingshot.

I'll just use them anyways.

I slept through an intro sociology class once with a 95. But I'm sure he dumbed it down for the rest of us. Surely the rest isn't so easy. You should try anthropology. ;] Hell, you make it sound like you're getting a business degree or something...

[got tonkaed]

you say lazy ass i say law of diminishing returns.

ill make up for it in grad school, id imagine. Seriously though, if reading the material, writing papers, and going to class gets you on the deans list semester after semester, would you bother to cram for tests?

Truth be told, I'm probably the biggest procastinater at my school, often doing my tests and such just before class starts.

I'm sure. In defense of sociology, my intro professor was one of the coolest people I've ever met. And the only one I will claim outside the field of biology.

[got tonkaed]

would probably be a win (in the abstract) for both of us.

you could claim if others around me had only been armed, they could have saved me, while at the same time, my untimely death will only serve to cement my legend to the throng of adoring fans i have (ie, my mom and sibs)

[got tonkaed]

to toot my own horn....

i think sociology people are probably among the coolest people around. They usually dont try to solve social problems (because we really arent good at that), they take the long and broad view of things, and tend to know a little bit about everything. I thinkfor a lot of people it leads to a pretty well adjusted life and career, which seems pretty good as a whole.

[muy_thaiguy]

i declare shenanigans.....

having purchased a cat...i own said cat. The cat behaves in a way that i believe is a manifestiation of love. Ipso facto, the possession can love me back.

Or put more bluntly ask the question maybe a century ago and a guy would respond of course i love my wife.

What about inanimate objects?

::Looks around for Guiscard::

History sucks!

[got tonkaed]

im sure ill write a treatise on the flaws of unrequited love and why you can love your plant later....as for now, i have to go take care of that thing at the place.

Good work everyone, glad you guys could be apart of the got tonkaed spammaton - bear edition.

I'd agree with you. Sociology is such a broad field that that kind of view is required. What do you expect to do in grad school? And what kind of history do you follow Muy?

Plants are arguably not inanimate. :]

i just thought you should know you are being brought up on sexual assault charges by the bear coalition for bear is beautiful.

But seriously....im pretty serious business in this bit, and ive found a way to embrace the whole bear thing, just let loose a bit eh.

What pains me is that you tend to approach most discussions with an air of rationality and thoughfulness. That is something I embrace. Or you can go make an invisible poopie... :]

But do what you gotta do, I suppose.

This brings up an interesting question: Does a bear make an invisible poopie in the forest?

Since cleanliness is holiness, or at the very least civilization, this question could turn out to be of vital important to the ongoing bears/arms-debates. If bears should turn out to have a strong sense for personal hygiene, it would not be an unreasonable conclusion to say that bears at the very least have the potential to be civilized or even holy, and in my humblest of opinions it is much prerable if civilized bears have arms than if noncivilized bears have them. Furthermore, both the bearing and baring of clean arms is preferable to that of dirty ones.

You people are going to give me an aneurysm.

This is getting spammy guys, and I'm inclined to merge all these threads.

Dear God, what would we call it? "On the rights of arms and bears"?
