In college, like everyone, i went scumming. Probably the low point was a 36 pack of Hamms for $8.99. Pretty sure it had been at the store for at least a year or two. But 36 beers for 9 bucks.....college student just couldn't pass that up. I think that might have been the only beer purchase in my life that I was not able to finish.....threw the last few full cans away. You think the world would be a better place with no religion and no guns? > Hard to say. If you simply removed both of them today, *poof*, after people had become accustomed to them over hundreds of years......certainly not. But if neither had ever existed? That's a pretty radical question....i mean..no religion....what exactly would that entail? Pretty hard to get my head around that. No guns is a bit more black and white. Guns were just the natural progression of finding better ways to kill each other. It's somewhat interesting that once guns were discovered, our efforts pretty much focused there.....we figured we'd found the perfect weapon for killing each other. And perhaps we have. So had we never found that perfect weapon...the gun...would we simply have invented something else...something even worse? Perhaps without guns, we'd have invented pocket lasers, like something out of Star Trek, by now.
