Otherwise... run what it calls for, otherwise, it doesn't run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel actually has more energy per unit volume, than gasoline. It's just a bit harder to ignite. It still burns pretty enthusiastically, once it gets going. But, we are WAY off topic here...... What were we talking about before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't a gun, it would be something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadAngel Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Modern humans have existed for at least 160,000 years. If "world peace" were possible, we would have achieved it by now. However, as long as there is something to fight over, people will find it. Also, conflict inspires peace. That's just the way it is. Someone creates conflict, it gets resolved, peace goes on for a while, and then conflict starts up again. It's a never-ending cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point was more about the idea that violence is good as long as the right people are violent. And that the police are the right people.

I would prefer to avoid violence, regardless of who is handing it out..... It would also be nice if the police didn't NEED to be violent, but, that's a pretty forlorn hope..... And yeah, some cops do indeed abuse their position.... but, they are the exception, rather than the rule. Ask the folks at Oklahoma City if they would have preferred a guy with a gun, over a guy with a truck bomb...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
