Like I said last year the only way it would have  worked for Taker to lose was vs Triple H with the help of HBK. 19-1 The legacy of that is much better than 20-1 with a loss to a new era guy.  First of all he'd be losing to an all time classic guy in HHH(duo DX), given there was interference from HBK it wouldn't be as though the record was "tainted" at the same time it adds to the legacy of DX and in the end all is good.  Also it adds to HBK & HHH volatile relationship as it would be once again HBK stealing the spotlight for himself. Also it could've led to one more Wrestlemania match with Taker vs HBK & HHH in a handicap match for Taker to get the 20th win if they in fact wanted him to get to 20. AWESOME! It would've been epic.

there's no fucking way Taker should lose now. Not ever. It would be so forced it's not even funny.  And especially not to anyone from the new era win.  Not Punk, not Lesnar not anybody.   In fact Taker should retire. There isn't anyone worthy of passing the torch to. At least not anyone worthy of having it passed in such a way like beating Taker at Wrestlemania where he's never lost. Having him lose now would just be a shitty, shitty idea.

You're not trying to find common ground. You simply want to be right and dismiss everything everyone else on the planet has figured out.  You have such an arrogance it's unbelievable. Disrespected? Gimme a break. You go on and on about people not reading your posts because you think your solutions have been ignored.  Nobody has disregarded the "solutions" you have suggested. We've simply stated a fact that gun control needs to be looked at as well as mental illness. You go on and on about how we just don't get it, we have no clue what's going on in America. All this conversation has done is open my eyes to how in the dark you are when it comes to Canada's day to day bombardment of Americana. Seriously dude Canada is on your fucking doorstep. You need to go through us to get to Alaska. So really we're like  the 2nd floor in the same apartment building.  We are not blind  or ignorant to your situation or the problems or hurdles you face. Far from it. To suggest we are shows your ignorance on our proximity to one and other. 90% of Canadians live within a few hours drive of the US/Canada border so this idea that we couldn't begin to understand is flat out asinine.

Then when Buzz finally acknowledges the FACT that gun control can help long term he says "I'm not sure we want to go through everything else that would happen in those 100 years to get there though." As though the United States is gonna turn into some scene  from the Dark Knight Rises.  Seriously?

If you begin to make changes now eventually the culture will change. It's common sense. You could never begin to make changes though because it's in your constitution to defend yourselves. Such bullshit. If Americans as whole demanded a whole sale change when it comes to gun control you'd begin to see change. But nope can't do that cause you, unlike the rest of the world, have the right to defend yourself and you just have too  many guns and we can't let the  bad guys take over.   Ummm... all the more reason to make change! Your situation is serious and you guys need to take a hard stand but you do the exact opposite. You become more relaxed, more careless and more ignorant  to you own problem.  Anyways. Nothing will ever change in America and it's because of too many people who share this attitude that it's hopeless.  You feel disrespected ID? You actually disrespect yourself by burying your head in the sand.

Anyways... I've had enough of this as well.

there's is no irony there. It's a simple fact that Canadians learn more about the United States  than you guys learn about us. And I'd be willing to bet everything I own that I have a better grasp on American culture than ID has on Canadian culture.  It's also a flat our ridiculous statement to suggest that as a Canadian I can't understand how America works because it's oh so foreign. Gimme a break. As Canadians we are bombarded with your culture every single day.  EVERY SINGLE DAY in mass amounts. 

And when the world has put certain measures into place that are working and you brush it off as "nah wouldn't work for us cause we're so different and better off for it" THAT is ignorance and arrogance personified.  Clearly your situation with gun violence is NOT better off than the rest of us so what are you going on about saying you're different and better off for it. Such an absurd comment on your part.

What you guys fail to understand or simply refuse to understand is this. Those of us advocating for tougher gun laws and even banning certain models are not dismissing that mental illness is a major issue that needs to be dealt with. Sadly mental illness isn't something tangible that you can fix instantly or even have a significant impact on.  There is nothing you can do today that can have a major impact tomorrow. It's a huge black cloud of uncertainty and it's gonna take a lot  longer than any of us have on this earth to solve the issue of mental illness, especially from people who are not being treated or often times show no outward signs. It doesn't mean you/we should dismiss it it just means it's only part of the problem.

Gun control is another part of the problem and is tangible and you can take steps today that will start having an impact tomorrow. BAN military grade weapons. There is no need for them. NOBODY needs an assault weapon that can spray hundreds of bullets per minute. It's beyond reason why those are even legal.  Put measures into place regarding proper storage of weapons, proper licensing, waiting periods, registration, back ground checks etc etc etc.  All of it. Enforce it.  People caught with weapons need to be fined heavily and in certain cases jailed.(yeah I know the court systems suck), Not a  slap on the wrist. The problem will not be solved tomorrow or next month or even next year but you put in place numerous steps to begin changing your gun culture. And if people don't like it too fucking bad.  It's 2012 not  1789. Get over your outdated right to bar arms. Eventually people will become accustomed to it and it won't be a big deal.  But to sit back and say nothing can be done, nothing will change, etc is just stupid.  Of course nothing will change with that attitude other than get worse, but when you start making changes things change.  Imagine that.

I mean my god yeah Americans have a lot of guns so instead of throwing your arms up and saying it's hopeless do something about it. But no the second someone suggests that, you feel your rights and freedoms  are being infringed upon.  I can only speak for myself but I feel pretty damn free in Canada. My civil rights seem to be intact despite our gun laws. Then again we're just some backwoods country with a population of roughly 4000 and what would we know about MERICA! Or civil rights for that matter.

It'll only be a matter of time before some unbalanced, over stressed teachers start using guns to threaten students and then inevitably one will overreact and shoot a student. Guaranteed.

Welcome to the wild west.  Yee haw!

I fully understand that. What you don't seem to understand is that it needs to start somewhere and if you don't even bother to start than ya might as well nuke yourselves cause it's only gonna get worse.  It took 200 years to create this culture but 200 years in the grand scheme of things is nothing so why would you let 200 years decide your fate for eternity?

Your thought process is a defeatist attitude and yes you come off like a  scared little six year old kid the more you go on and on with this bullshit idea that more guns equals more safety. you also come off no different than the "cool kid" in high school who thinks everyone idolizes them when the reality is everyone  is looking at you thinking WTF. 

I live in Canada. Right next door dude. I've also been all over the United States from Alaska to Texas and everywhere in between.  America isn't some big mystery you pretend it is.  You act as if we're all clueless to you guys. Wake up dude. Stop with the bullshit that we could never understand. We get it. You have a fucked up culture when it comes to guns. What we don't get is your relaxed attitude towards fixing the problem and your complete lack of common sense on the topic that nothing can ever be done. The only one looking stupid is you because in your  mind there is no possible way the solution could ever be fixed and in your arrogance you refuse to acknowledge what the rest of the world knows. You think we're all so stupid as to think the problem can be fixed tomorrow but that's not at all the case. Nobody thinks the problem can be fixed instantly but if you never take steps to fix the problem things only get worse. America's problem is attitude's like your's. A defeatist attitude that the bad guys have already won so if ya can't beat'em join'em. That's is such an awful attitude.   

Whatever. It's like talking to an arrogant wall.
