Zagatto Wrote:It drives me crazy to hear how many people find the jury system to be a waste of their time. That's part of what makes America a great thing. The right to be tried by a jury of your peers rather than having justice handed out by some arbitrary tyrant is a wonderful benefit.
People seem to have lost sight of the fact that by being on a jury means you are contributing your share to your community.
That's very nice, in theory. Unfortunately many times people are judged simply because the jury wants to wrap it up and go home or because they don't like the person's face. Of course since in every system human beings judge human beings the problem exists everwhere but it's like someone said sometimes these people are simply too ignorant to do what they're doing.

Interesting idea, but since a lot of crimes preformed with guns are done so with illegal firearms, or at least unregistered ones, it would matter not. I would like that however since I have about ten melee weapons on my wall including, axes, longs swords, and halberds.
Nice now those are the true weapons!

Andromeda18_ Wrote:I love Katanas! Were yours very expensive?My fiance and I bought a set of three together, but no, they wearn't terribly expensive and they are pretty good quality too. I wouldn't try hacking someone up with one, or fighting blade to blade with them (my poor sabre still needs to be taken back to the metal smith to get the nicks and dents out), but they seem sturdy enough.

Civilians = swords
Military = guns
Hopefully that would increase patriotism as everyone wants their guns lol. Anyway does
anyone know where I can get good prices on weapons? I'm especially interested in
Katanas (especially the double katanas), claymores, broadswords, bastard swords, and
shurikens. I would like to start a collection. If you have any information it would help
greatly.

They may contradict one another but I reckon that a fair remedy to many of our present ill's would present itself if we could come to terms with this very contradiction.
