    acully, he is valuing his life. in the most common case people who are stealing are doing so to support themself for lack of money/food/whatever.

    by the way, how old are you Skyblade?
    Why not support gun use? You prefer your defenses to guns. That's fine. That doesn't give you a right to say what I use to defend my house. I find a gun generally does the job, and it is cheaper and more efficient than mace, electric fences, cameras, digital security systems, etc...

    Actually, if the people need a TV, stereo, or my mother's jewelry collection to live, I figure they're beyond help anyway. Besides, haven't they heard of asking? Not once has someone come up to me and said "Do you have any spare home entertainment systems or jewelry that you could donate to a person in need?" I'm not a total insensitive @$$hole (ok, I probably am). I would at least consider such a request.

    It's impolite to ask that of a lady. Now, one might argue that I'm not a lady. This is true, but I also do not believe in some forms of gender discrimination. If ladies don't have to give out their age, then men shouldn't have to either. Of course, this is a totally ridiculous coverup for the simple fact that I am not going to tell you. For one thing, I don't like giving out personal information over the Internet (which is why my location is given as "Earth, approximately"). But what's more, it doesn't change the validity of my arguments at all. Just because logic fails you doesn't mean I'm going to help you pass your ridiculous claims off by giving you the ability to make comments such as "he's so old he's senile", or "he's too young and stupid to know what he's talking about". If you can't actually win arguments without turning this into an attempt at character assassination, you should give up now. I'm certainly not going to help you in such a pursuit.

    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
