          Yes - pickle MU - 12/20 12:41:59
               What if I intentionally missed you? - Spanky KU - 12/20 12:57:44
                    Still a crime (nm) - pickle MU - 12/20 13:22:09
                         How are you a victim? Your life was never in danger. - Spanky KU - 12/20 13:28:32
                              My right to life was threatened - pickle MU - 12/20 13:33:05
                                   i would feel as if my life is in danger driving 70mph next - TigerwTLP MU - 12/20 13:56:16
                                        Yes and no - pickle MU - 12/20 14:14:07
                                   So.. the individual determines if something is a crime?(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 12/20 13:36:45
                                        The individual determines if his life is threatened - pickle MU - 12/20 13:38:32
                                             That is just dumb... If Fester glares at you, is your life - Spanky KU - 12/20 13:41:37
                                                  Of course not (nm) - pickle MU - 12/20 14:05:30
                                                       Fester's glare is as dangerous to you as me shooting a gun - Spanky KU - 12/20 15:39:26
                                        He needs a 'safe zone' to be OK..... - Spanky KU - 12/20 13:37:44
                                   How? It was not pointed at you.. it was pointed away from - Spanky KU - 12/20 13:35:51
               So attempted harm - meatiger MU - 12/20 12:48:22

                    yes - FootballRefugee MU - 12/20 12:50:02
                    this is probably what i should've asked to begin with (nm) - TigerwTLP MU - 12/20 12:46:53
     What "crime" are you eluding to here? (nm) - MIZ45 MU - 12/20 12:27:45

          Pickle is black and white on the issue and does not - jmlppx MU - 12/20 12:28:13
               you aren't able to articulate pickle's position on this and - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:35:17
               Probability is irrelevant (nm) - pickle MU - 12/20 12:32:24
               Black and white are easy - meatiger MU - 12/20 12:30:35
                    there's nothing black and white about pickle's position and - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:36:16
                         His position it toally black and white - meatiger MU - 12/20 12:37:58
                              you don't have a position. you have a "case by case - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:41:31
          He's not asking you to tell him what current laws are. He's - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:15:36
               I generally agree with the path - meatiger MU - 12/20 12:19:17
                    That's not true - pickle MU - 12/20 12:31:01
                    he did no such thing here. you simply didn't answer his - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:22:32
                         There is still a crime without a victim. - Spanky KU - 12/20 12:29:34
                              There is no crime without a victim (nm) - pickle MU - 12/20 12:34:44

                                                  Your appeal to authority - pickle MU - 12/20 15:18:02
                                                       Your abuse of the English language is noted. - Spanky KU - 12/20 15:40:14

                              Non sequitur (nm) - pickle MU - 12/20 12:34:21
                                   Of course - meatiger MU - 12/20 12:35:30
                                        Heaven forbid you can stay on topic - pickle MU - 12/20 12:40:23
                                        your post had nothing to do with the topic, meatiger (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:37:46
                                             It is very relevant - meatiger MU - 12/20 12:40:52

                                                       Since I am not an expert in the art, I don't know for sure - meatiger MU - 12/20 12:47:08
                                                            How can you form a law to prevent any of those things if - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:50:00
                                                                 So I need to be an expert in the art - meatiger MU - 12/20 13:08:21
                                                                      how many more accidents? how much more property damage? - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 13:15:35
                                                                           I am of the belief - meatiger MU - 12/20 13:20:57

                         Wrong. Not offering an option is not the same as force.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 12/20 12:25:31
                              i read that the first time you typed it, Matt, and it's stil - 90Tiger MU - 12/20 12:26:38
