Your faith in your Sky Fairie is so weak that you mod me down instead of PROVING he/she/it exists and ending all debate.

As I expected.

Hi APK!

"Sooner or later on your philosophical and metaphysical travels, you will find, as I did, that you have to make a leap of blind faith"

That's an asserted conclusion. YOU had to do that. I'm not you, and there are others not you.

...and give it marching orders. Use the entertainment industry to sell computers and to generate internet revenue.

"Give them the razor, sell them the blades" by buying out the razor factory.

Christianity is the problem, and it's expanding in even more primitive countries which also send immigrants to the US.

Thank you for representing your base so very, very, very well.

"The only solution is to disarm everyone. I mean everyone. The planet. Yes, I'm a naive optimist."

No, you"re an imbecile. You have no way to enforce disarmament and have thought nothing through beyond expressing your wants.

"No one's claiming the guns cause the violence, only that they enable it."

Rwandans did quite nicely with their edged weapons. Some had (expensive) firearms too. See also "Khmer Rouge".

Their VICTIMS were essentially unarmed.

I just cut 'em open. I'll take the trade of inconvenience for product protection because I _KNOW_ I should be carrying a knife (or the far more useful multitool) at all times.

Serrated paring knives work very well. When mine wear a bit, they go from kitchen to "scattered anywhere handy".

These "Vickies" by the way are terrific utility knives. I even take one to salvage yards to cut radiator hose! They last a LONG time.
