Couldn't believe that NRA guy today saying the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is having a good guy with a gun. How about option three - don't give bad guys access to guns.

It's a strange mentality to think the best way to fight gun violence is by having more guns. The sad thing is I heard a reporter saying that around 53% of Americans actually agree with this line of thinking so it's quite possible this could happen.

Didnt they also say to give all teachers a gun aswell? Yea how long till a child robs or finds that gun and uses it .

Bad Guys with Guns vs Good Guys with Guns doesnt fix anything , it just leads to more un-neccasary deaths

Part of their argument was essentially "Guns aren't responsible, imaginary guns in video games are responsible"

That's the thing. You'd have to secure it in such a way that students can't get near it in any way, but also it's easily accessible in case a teacher needs to kill a guy....

Here's a fact I read today; there had been two armed agents present at Columbine high school in Colorado during the 1999 assault that left 15 dead. The reality is if someone is a nutcase with a gun, armed guards offer no deterrence whatsoever.

2 Firemen dead in America, two more hurt. Went to a massive fire and when they arrived, some nutter walked out and shot at them.

Shall we arm the firefighters as well then? Or maybe give them a military escort to every fire...

I'll keep pestering people about this game, but as a heads up, The Walking Dead Episode One is now up for free on XBLA and iOS stores. It's been winning GOTY awards all over the place. Get it now!

Just got FM 2013 in the Steam flash sale as well. Now to choose which lowly Blue Square team to pick to raise towards Global Dominance.

Angron · 25-12-2012 04:57PM

I'm torn on getting FM '13 >_>

Or those green triangular truffles in the Quality Street, nobody likes those just replace them already instead of my dog eating them. I'm stuffed after the dinner but saving myself for sandwiches later on.

I like those green ones!

Nicest one in the Roses is the purple caramel one with the nut in it.

Wicked meat sweats here since about two o clock.

I'm havin a great buzz here watching The Rock vs. Triple H in a steel cage from Rebellion 1999! (Does that count as PW chat?)

PW Xmas would be the best place

finishing S1 of Prison Break. It's really great. And I'm not a prison-movie guy. At all!

It kinda goes downhill from there unfortunately.

I like most of them (at least like them enough to eat, only a couple that I don't eat at all) so I usually get a couple at least. Opened a tin today but couldn't eat many as I was too stuffed from the dinner! This was seven or eight hours later and I still couldn't eat anything. Going to be getting lashed out of it tomorrow with Undead Nightmare, already nearly halfway done! :pac:

GTR63 · 26-12-2012 02:28AM

Watching American Dad at the minute the episode where Roger is making that really annoying sound.
Gonna give Paper Mario a go after then

So I've heard, most people say it's 1>3>2>4 in terms of quality of seasons. Although I have a mate that says 2>1>3>4. Where do you stand?

GTR - which Paper Mario did u get? I loved the Wii one, it was so hi-technikal!

Prison break season 1 is great, truly a brilliant show but unfortunately also a great example of a show that suffered from its popularity (similarity to how heros decided to keep going with the same characters after s1 due to popularity and against their original plans) because iirc it getting such good ratings etc meant the original plan for the show was changed so as to among other things lenghten its run and iT gradually got worse as a result.

Season 1 was great
Season 2 was good, the addition of William Fichtner and the wacky races element to it kept it as good viewing
Season 3 was meh, but if you we're already invested in the show its hard to stop
Watching
Season 4 was when I really should have stopped watching not that much had changed since S3 in terms of quality IMO but I knew it would end soon and wanted to see how it turned out
DVD finale: ratings had dropped so much they had to go this route to get a finale in but it's worth watching if you saw the rest.

If I rewatch it now only S1 will def get fully watched but ill always start season 2. Once the show stopped being about the prison break and became about "the company" and other similar nonsense it starts suffering and the audience starts caring less about what's going on.

What do you mean you weren't asking me :pac:

Ando's Saggy Bottom · 26-12-2012 10:31AM

What BH said basically. Hard for me to directly compare series. S1 was brillint edge of the seat stuff but then the writers decided to cash in and stretch a fairly narrow concept out into three more series. S2 was ok but I found S3 and 4 tedious in the extreme and by the end I just didn't care and was watching more out of habit than interest. Its hard to say anymore without spoiling things.

T Bag is a great charcter though. Legend.

Sticker Star for the 3DS. Never played the Wii one or a Wii actually.

yeah T-Bag is great, got a lot of work from that deservedly too while the leads didnt. Also thought Bellick was great myself and obviously the Doc is now in the Walking dead

I actually thought the two brothers weren't the best of actors at all. Very wooden.

D2D · 26-12-2012 04:21PM

Season 1 of Prison Break was awesome. I thought Season 2 was better actually, because you got a really good insight on every character of the "Fox River 8" when their on the run and Mahone is just awesome during it. Season 3 suffered from the writers strike but was a really good season, just way too short. Season 4 was awkward because the storyline jumps everywhere during it and doesn't really settle down until yer about 10 episodes in. By then, it's still really drawn out

If you liked Prison Break, I'd seriously recommend that you watch Breakout Kings. Same writers as Prison Break and T-Bag makes an appearance in the 3rd episode

Ando's Saggy Bottom · 26-12-2012 04:36PM

Bloody hell United are crazy fun these days! 3-3 with still 15 to go. :pac:

If they could defend they'd have the league won already.

Ando's Saggy Bottom · 26-12-2012 05:01PM

LOL United are absolute dogsh*t and they're starting to run away with the league. :pac:

Mental stuff. No midfield, can't defend. Seven clear. The PL is dire this year.
