I’ll just haul all these scary guns to the Dumpster immediately.
Of course, I find John Kerry’s hair frightening. Perhaps I should drop a word with someone about that.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

I read about a study that botox use is leads to unhappiness because users are unable to smile properly, and that the physical act of smiling makes people happier. Just because he is miserable doesn’t mean the rest of us have to be.
How terribly tragic that they are afraid to come here, because SCARY GUNS! Of course, we will continue to allow them to stay in their home countries and leave us the hell alone.
Apparently the Chinese are made of sturdier stock. He needs to go look at UCI. AKA the University of Chinese Immigrants. About half the student body is from Asia. Not born here, mind you. Came here for school.
Same goes for the private Baptist school here in town. Seems they have a deal going with Korea.
And since we are so scary with all our wild west antics, why is it still Mexico downtown here where I live?
Guns and gun people would be my main reason incentive to visit the united state again,
It’s all the officious police state crap that puts me off
Oh what _bull_ snacks. We had a mainland Chinese exchange student who _loved_ the idea of ‘guns’. He’d never _seen_ one not held by a soldier or a cop, had no idea how just anyone could get one. He refused to believe that we had any until I dragged them out of the closet.
I took him to a sporting goods store and I thought he’d stroke out when they let him – just a guy off the street with a funny accent – hold an actual AR15. And a shotgun. And …
The Japanese students are afraid of our evil guns? I’m a lot more afraid of big ‘ole razor-sharp swords. Also, there might be fewer students because the Japanese population is crashing to the point where there is a big push to use robots for many mundane tasks as there are an insufficient number of youngsters to do the work. Or so I’m told…
Foreign national’s not feeling safe used to be a great filtering mechanism for us, perhaps it’s returning.
I view that as a positive, in fact, I’d turn up that wick and make them downright afraid at a much higher level.
We really don’t need foreign students coming here to study, so Kerry’s limp-wristed response is meaningless to me.
“Thyey don’t come to the US because they are afraid”
That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
