As someone who DOES own a gun -- two, actually -- that's no problem for me.
That being said, let me point out that there's money to be made in mocking homosexuals, too. For that matter, there's money to be made in mocking almost any sub-group.
Doesn't mean that it's right, though.

What was that you had posted?

"ROFLMAO. 'Attribution.' That's good."

And you still have not bothered to provide attribution.
Strange how many times you can post and still skip over something as basic as attribution.
But then you also claim that taxes are the same a seizure.
Is that why you put attribution in quotation marks?
You did not know what it was?

No. I'm pretty sure that it is covered under "fair use".
But I have no problem pointing out that you found even the idea of correctly attributing it to be funny.
Did you really expect to have people believe that you wrote that?

"ROFLMAO. 'Attribution.' That's good."

Yes it is. Attribution is good.
Did you not know what it is?
Posted by fairly.unbalanced]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:29:24 -0800 The Stranger
Just keep in mind that you'll have to research something called "fair use" when you do, and demonstrate "intent" (as in that I intended these words as my own original work).

Happy hunting, DK!

Yes, it is good.

Or did I just find something else you did not understand?
Copyright?
Attribution?
Or to quote Wikipedia:
It is widely regarded as a sign of decency and respect to acknowledge the creator by giving him/her credit for the work.

I called 5280 "skeeter" a few weeks ago when he wrote that Obama likely had staged the skeet-shooting photo just so he could claim to have shot a gun. I don't see him that much or engage him that much, but I did call him skeeter again one time after he posted. I don't know if he saw it or understood it, but I'm reserving that monicker for him.

I'm going to call you Dull Knife from now on. "DK" for short.
Posted by Matt from Denver]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:36:12 -0800 The Stranger Shouldn't you at least give an attribution to those lyrics?
Was that more of your "righteous judgment"?

"it is ALWAYS alright to call out dishonest people for the shit stained motherfuckers that the are. It is NEVER wrong to do so."

Looks like you might have a problem with getting all verbally abusive.
But don't do anything about it.
After all, it isn't your fault, right?
Just post some more song lyrics without attribution.

Posted by Matt from Denver]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:54:31 -0800 The Stranger "then it's settled."

I think you'd have to be a bit irrational to claim that.
Oh, wait.
http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Comme…

"Fuck you for resisting my righteous judgment of your disingenuous bullshit."

I guess it is your "righteous judgment" that makes you say that.
What else does your "righteous judgment" make you say?

"motherfucker"
"shit stain"
"dog's anus"
http://www.thestranger.com/slog/archives…

I don't suppose that there's any chance that your "righteous judgment" might be wrong?
No, didn't think so.

@ 36, do your comments make you feel better? I ask because I don't see any point to them otherwise.
Posted by Matt from Denver]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:54:41 -0800 The Stranger Posted by CPN]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2013 16:15:47 -0800 The Stranger "change the fucking record."

What?
You don't like seeing your own words?

"(Remember, you failed to demonstrate that with Feinstein's bill, so don't think you can sneak that one in again...)"

I remember that you first went off about stolen property and finally ended with something about you not being able to tell if your parents were alive or dead.
And, again, I disagree with Ayn Rand and with you when you claim that taxation is the same as seizure.
Taxation is NOT the same as seizure.

Florida, with an injunction against it but Rick Perry is appealing to circuit court to enforce the gag rule.

It's also enshrined in the Affordable Healthcare Act, Obmacare. Obama has since issued an executive order saying doctors may ask about guns, but there is still a moratorium on doctors collecting data on guns. They're not allowed to do science.

Look at the absurd outcome of the NRA's blocking funding for gun research:

Condition________Cases in U.S.___# of NIH Grants
Cholera________________400______212
Diphtheria_____________1,337_____56
Polio__________________266______129
Rabies_________________65________89
Firearms injuries _ 4,000,000+____3

We have half again as many studies of rabies than we have cases of rabies. Every rabies patient must have one or two researchers camped on their doorstep. And 3 measly studies for 4 million gun injuries. Sick sick sick.

Sorry, what was that?
http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Comme…

"Fuck you for resisting my righteous judgment of your disingenuous bullshit."

Well I guess that's okay then.
http://www.thestranger.com/slog/archives…

"motherfucker"
"shit stain"
"dog's anus"

So it appears that "gun nut" is anyone who expresses an opinion that you do not approve of.
But at least I can express an opinion without becoming verbally abusive.

If I've got both the choicer and gun nut PC Police after me before lunch time, then I've done a good day's work.
