I think it's interesting the number of folks who seem to assume that anyone who doesn't like the way this quest was handled must be a gun toting redneck. It's bad writing. It's nothing but a screed, and its beneath The Simpsons. That's probably why it has so many people angry who didn't have a problem with "The Cartridge Family:" the writer seems to have been more interested in beng inflammatory than being funny.

A dead-on crystallization of my intent in creating the thread. But regardless of the number of times you repeat it, people see what they want to see :roll:panam787 wrote:
Im Texan, i live in Finland now,but I still follow the news from back home. Texas is close to Mexico, so we get a lot of news from that country too, they are not allowed to own guns and still they kill each other by the hundreds every week.
The second amendment is not an old, crazy law! It empowers people!
We carry guns in Texas all the time and our crime rates are way lower than California where gun control is more strict.
Gun owners are not bad guys, gun owners stop bad guys!,sometimes accidents happen it's true, but that's just a matter of education, that's exactly the NRA's mission, to educate people, and encourage The SAFE use and ownership of firearms., come to Texas and see it with your own eyes, you'll see granny's with .45's in their purse doin their groceries, that's why stores don't get robbed, who's gonna be stupid enough to try when they know that they are effectively outgunned!.
My point here is, a lunatic is a lunatic in the states or in Norway, it doesn't matter!, they say that when there's a will there's a way, and that's the case with criminals and terrorists, with guns or without, if what they want is to harm people they will, just look at Boston!! The bombs were pressure cookers, so are we going to ban the sale of pressure cookers??, a little fertilizer and a pipe and you have a bomb., then what pipe it's against the law? Gasoline and styrofoam and you have napalm!! No more gasoline then!, or styrofoam!. And you can do all of this in ANY country! Gun ban or not!
when someone wants to harm, there's nothing that anyone can do to stop it, banning guns is not an answer!
It would actually be stupid!, think about it, you ban guns and of course law abiding citizenship would respect the ban and hand over their weapons, but you think That criminals will?? They are CRIMINALS! They won't! And then what?, pray every night that no one breaks into your house in the middle of the night! Real smart!
Education is the answer!

2/3 of the people who play this game didn't have a problem with the humor. And if it was, people should be complaining about other jokes put in TSTO. So since that hasn't happened, it is about gun owners' self-righteousness.LusciousJohnnyD wrote:

OK, let me start over. 2/3 of the people who play this game didn't have a problem with the humor. So the majority had no problem with the way it was done.
And since you mentioned it, I'm a Christian, Scot, Irish, and a liberal. So if I was as self-righteous as you claim, I would be bothered with how Flanders, Lovejoy, Willie, Quimby, and O'Flanagan are represented in the game. But that isn't the case.

When you don't object to anything else the Simpsons do until they lampoon gun owners, you are self-righteous.LusciousJohnnyD wrote:
I am not a gun owner. So your your point is invalid. What I am objecting to is the way in which this issue was handled: if any other group had been given the same hamfisted treatment I would find it just as distasteful, because it's weak, lazy writing.TaraInDC wrote:

You have seen "Cartridge Family," right? That was good satire. This was bad satire. You don't know me or my mind, so you've got no right to tell me why I think the things I do.
