Cool. That's not the kind of laminar flow I was expecting. It's like an artistic version of this.....

You know you're in trouble when a train tunnel is now a spillway.

You seem passionately opposed to most Americans owning guns more so than simply harboring a beef with firearms in general-It seems from these determined comments on the subject running from a crack in the spillway that guns are just bad (m'kay), that you are opposed to peeps having guns please let us in on the cogent distillation of your consternation because I am clueless as to how someone can hope to brave a hike through the tundra without proper gear, and you seem like an educated and thoughtful fellow!

If all cops have guns, and most criminals have guns, and there are already enough fucking prisons, THEN (or how about fuck conventional logic because I can't dance so well) Why should I live somewhere where I am unsafe and unsecured without owing a firearm AND, if in choosing to exercise my free will (what a fucking concept, HUH!?) I am then subject to some fucking police-state run-a-round?

Piers Morgan. Who the fuck names their kid Piers?! The guys a moron or is intentionally coming-off as one to appeal to the contingent destined for unadaptive gene-pool elimination.

I've heard enough stupid arguments for the last 23 hours coming from heads in asses from all fronts on the internet and most of the bullshit comes from major news sources, and Piers here..What exactly can't you believe considering who we have to work with in the general pop. in the U.S??

Critically thinking people are part of a planned obsolescence worldwide, brother!

It's a glory hole spillway.
