we're obviously not going to ever agree on the subject matter, Toby (clearly shown by how long this arguement has been going on in this country and the fact that I come from a different country might also make this a harder arguement to settle )
However, it's 'all-encompassing' arguements like that which always brings this debate to a stalemate.
Well, I was simply addressing the point that you were making that because some people are too stupid to be able to handle shampoo properly, it necessarily means that there's something wrong with the population at large. It seems to me that there should be something done about those people (mandatory registration of shampoo bottles, maybe?).
quote: If either side would just realize that the pendulum can be found somewhere in the middle, an agreement might come to pass. I find it astonishing how both sides of this arguement are consistantly protesting to have it "all my way or no way!".
Well, I'm not particularly on either extreme.

quote: And don't argue that giving alittle is just the beginning to all out defeat. it's fear like and illogical arguements like that which prevent furtherment of the human race.
Well, I wasn't going to argue any such fearful or illogical thing. Those two traits seem more typical of the anti-gun arguments which I hear (and seem to be recurring again at the moment).

Heaven forfend! 
quote: however, this will be my last post on this topic as I stated above, not my country and a guy going by the name Hoser and another by the name of Toby will not solve it on a discussion board about Visors. I just hope that people that can make a difference realize some things.
Quite honestly, I'd like to see a lot less emotion and more logic brought to the table as well, but the problem with pure logic is that it's just a framework. Unless the premises are agreed upon, pure logic can come up with drastically different conclusions.

You too.
