Ha! I've done been told.

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

I'm still not getting the second wrong in the scenario, but I did tell him that it was offensive to imply there was a wrong being done in response to attempted rape or murder (which, seriously, is what I was restricting my comments to, not even just a plain old punching exchange).

Dude, that's not what "turn the other cheek" means, you know?

Some guy is still trying to convince me I shouldn't kick an attempted rapist in the nuts. I keep asking him if he'd rather I tear his arm out of the socket, but he keeps evading the question. Maybe brain damage? I'm definitely not allowed to poke them in the eye as they attempt to poke me in the vagina, I've been informed.

I think if someone is trying to rape you, not kicking them hard in the windpipe or back of the neck after you've dropped them is showing courtesy.

He doesn't get a vote.

Besides, legally if somebody assaults you, then you are totally allowed to kick a guy in the nuts until they both explode.

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

It's not wrong to kick a rapist in the nuts. Not in my ethics. Not in anybody's ethics.

Except this guy.

I kind of want to ask this guy why he's so invested in defending the rights of a rapist. Is he still secretly (or not) hung up on the idea that women are probably just falsely accusing men?

Stopping the commission of a crime is not a wrong. Dumbass.

My mom's native Spanish-born (well, technically Basque, but she will refer to herself as a Spaniard) is totally giving me the rundown on Madrid and surrounds, where she's lived and explored. AWESOMECAKES.

Goddamn, it is windy out. I just had to retrieve my can lids. And they are chained up pretty closely to a post.

That's what it sounds like. Which doesn't make him less WRONG.

If there's been an epidemic of women kicking innocent men in the balls, I've missed it.

We were at a new gun store yesterday, and I pointed something silly out to Hubby--bayonets for pistols. yes, little two/three-inch blades you can attach to the front of your pistol. Unfortunately, the gun store proprietor was offended that we laughed at them. I looked at him in surprise: "How are you supposed to use such a thing?" And I made a kind of stabby motion with my hand curved like I was holding a pistol.

"Well," he said after a moment, "that may be the only weapon you have left, and you can use it on your attacker." (Dude, you've gone through a full clip, and the attacker is still close enough that a two-inch bayonet is a viable weapon? Are you going solo into a Mexican drug war?)

"I'd rather have a proper knife. And if you that close, shouldn't you just club the guy with the pistol?"

I don't think we're going to go back to that store. A little high on the "Oh, wow, we can shoot things with these neat toys! We're so tough!" scale. We're going to check some others to see if they stock the full line of pistol bayonets this store does.
