Because the very premise of this question is moronic. What exactly does this prove?

Goobieman, which do you think is more dangerous: A black man or an abortion clinic?

LMAO! Wait I got a good one:

Which is more dangerous: A blow job or a twinkie?

Thats a tricky one....people have died from blowjobs....or atleast gotten fired...
 
Well, it's nice to see that somebody can top Ptskid while he's temporarily suspended.
 
Goobieman, which do you think is more dangerous: An African-American veteran, or an abortion clinic?

Well, unless you're an unborn baby, safe money's on the veteran.

Unless, of course, he's a Vietnam veteran. Then it's a toss-up.

Which is more dangerous: A blow job or a twinkie?

Never heard of anyone being impeached over a Twinkie.

Then again, I've never heard of a blow job causing cancer.

Hey, this game is fun!
 
Yep...

And its official....

The only purpose of this thread seemed to backfire on the person who started it in the first place...

bwuahahahahaa.
 
You are in a locked room, sitting on a long bench.

On one end of that bench, in an open, unlocked box, is a loaded revolver.

On the other end of that bench, there is a HIV+ homosexual/lesbian (depending on your gender)

Which threatens your life the most?



Can someone move this to the POLL section?

This reminds me of Saw (although I only watched the first ten minutes or so of it, and then fled to my room).
 
Which is a greater threat:

Barry Manilow or Michael Bolton?

Bigger threat takes on your posted challenger

You know, I was sitting here thinking I should move this rather pointless thread. But instead, I came up with an idea. How about continuing with some of the humor already exhibited here. Come up with your most absurd 'which is the greater threat?'

Here's mine:

Which is a greater threat? A rabid pit bull who hasn't been fed in a week or a hallucinating Rush Limbaugh who believes that eveyone looks like Hillary Clinton?

If you empty a clip into the pit bull, it'll probably die.

Ah, but so will Rush, probably. So which is the bigger threat? Let's say you have no weapontry. Will the pit bull's rabid behavior overtake you quicker then Rush's intense dislike for Hillary?
 
I cannot for my life, understand why anyone would consider a person being homosexual/lesbian a threat to one's life. I am christian, but as long as they don't bother me sexually, I won't bother them, in any way.

Being a good solid American Liberal Christian, I own guns. I might take out a gun to defend myself if I had time and asessed the threat as life threatening.

I have been using guns for years, and as long as I am not attacked by a right wing neocon whacko, I probably will never need to defend myself with a gun. :rofl I can't pass up a good chance to pick on the NeoCons.

DO YOU WANT TO BE THE LAST AMERICAN TO DIE IN BUSH'S LITTLE HOME MADE WAR? HONOR AMERICAS TROOPS BY BRINGING THEM HOME A NOT LETTING THEM DIE FOR NOTHING. God Bless America.
 
I dont get it. The homosexual is the greater threat because you say it is?
Ask yourself:
-What might the homosexual decide to do?
-What might the gun decide to do?
When you asnwer that, you -must- conclude that the homosexual is the greater threat -- assuming, of course, that you are an intelligent, rational, reasonable, logical person.

Disagree? Tell me how I am wrong.

If I was a serial killer trapped in a room with a homosexual and there was a gun in the room. Would I be the more dangerous individual? Or would the homosexual still remain more dangerous? Does the hypothetical assume that homosexuals are rabbid individuals waiting to kill anybody locked in a room with them? Does it assume that I do not pose a threat to the homosexual?
You can avoid the question all you want -- you're just trying to avoid the necessary conclusion. Why is that?

Because the very premise of this question is moronic.
Asking people 'which is more of a threat -- a person or an inanimite object?' is moronic?
Generally I'd agree -- the obvious answer is 'the person' and the question really doesnt need to be asked.

But for some reason, certain people, already mentioned, and including yourself, aren't able to apply logic and reason to the question and come up with the -obviously- correct answer. Why?

What exactly does this prove?
I believe I already stated that.
You people have shown that you arent as intelligent, reasonable, rational or logical as you think you are.
 
Ask yourself:

-What might the homosexual decide to do?

Sit down and wait with me until somebody comes and unlocks the door?

-What might the gun decide to do?

Guns are innanimate objects silly.

When you asnwer that, you -must- conclude that the homosexual is the greater threat -- assuming, of course, that you are an intelligent, rational, reasonable, logical person.

But why is the homosexual the greatest threat? For him to constitute a threat my life must be in endanger by one of his actions. If I grab the gun and point it at him, who is threatening who?

Disagree? Tell me how I am wrong.

I think what you are trying to get across is that people are more dangerous. I agree 100%. However I dont see what the point of disclosing the sexuality of the other person is.

You can avoid the question all you want -- you're just trying to avoid the necessary conclusion.

How many times have you been locked in a room with a homosexual?

Why is that?

I'm not avoiding the question. Had the question been : "What is a bigger threat a gun or a human being" I would have awnsered but I still dont see what the point of disclosing that particular beings sexuality is.
 
Sit down and wait with me until somebody comes and unlocks the door?
What ELSE might he decide to do?

Guns are innanimate objects silly.
Thats right -- and so, what will it decide to do?
Nothing?
Correct.

But why is the homosexual the greatest threat?
Guns are innanimate objects, silly.

I think what you are trying to get across is that people are more dangerous. I agree 100%.
Then why didn't you just vote for the homosexual?
For that matter, why haven't you yet voted for the homosexual?

However I dont see what the point of disclosing the sexuality of the other person is.
It wasnt dicussed, it was stated. The dicussion came after you and others decided it was, somehow, germane to the situation, when it isn't.

I'm not avoiding the question. Had the question been : "What is a bigger threat a gun or a human being" I would have awnsered but I still dont see what the point of disclosing that particular beings sexuality is.
His sexuality is irrelevant. If you were as rational and logical as you thnk you are, you would have seen that -- but, for whatever reason, the reference to "homosexual" changed things completely for you.

Now, why is that?

Niether.... The biggest threat to my life would be the person who put me into the locked room

Thats not one of the options. You're just avoiding the question.
 
I'm trying to discren the point Boogieman is trying to make with this thread. Maybe he's trying to claim that gays are more dangerous the guns?

Now, why is that?

If YOU were as rational and logical as you think you are, you wouldn't have bothered to cite the sexuality and HIV status of this person if you didn't expect people to consider those things. Any rational person would assume that the information you provided was somehow relevant to your question.

I'd still rather be in the room with the homosexual than the gun (assuming this isn't a long-term prison sentence). I'd be a lot more worried that I'd accidentally set the gun off and kill myself, than that this person was going to randomly attack me.
