by "people like you" I was actually referring to the combination of physical isolation (alone on a hill in a swamp, in your case) and considerable confidence in the correctness of their own opinions to the point where their primary form of social interaction is telling other people how they're wrong on the Internet
This in no way resembles my actual life.

I'm going to go ahead and sit out of this thread for a while rather than continue to be generalised about, I think.

Yeah, from my perspective that's still "way too close together"; out here you do not have other farms as neighbours, you have miles of soggy forest dotted with bog. There isn't much in the way of tightly-knit social support because there aren't enough actual people. (It's heaven.)

Thanks for correcting me.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

The attitude that can survive in that sort of isolated environment - if someone comes on your land, you have guns to defend yourself with just in case - is in fact pure poison in an urban environment. The attitude cannot be generalized into a universal philosophy that's good for us, too, living in big cities who have to live almost on top of 1000s of other people.

I could just go on a 5 minute walk out my front door, and have potential interactions with 500 other people on the street, in shops/cafes or in cars, and I'm not even in the middle of town or anything. You can see how, in that environment, the attitude that someone shoving someone else is valid reason to shoot them for assaulting you would be pure crazy. Plenty of chance to hit innocent bystanders for a start.

Maximum Spin, how do you feel about the term multiculturalism, and do you agree it weakens the social fabric?
That's a very leading way to phrase such a question.

This thread has devolved to the point where the problem with ending the life of a person that mildly annoys you is that you could accidentally shoot someone else while you are at it.

Let's lighten up the mood with Nazi's. Like not even hiding it Nazi's are running for office.

Beware the comments section. It is also full of Nazi's.

The GOP seems to have a Nazi issue in general.
