Wrtiting an essay on the benefits of guns

I knew I had seen it some where. lol

Too cool.... make sure you post a copy of the final product when you are done. (That is if you don't mind openly posting your work) I would be interested in reading it and also hearing the grade you get and any points deducted or rebuttle anyone has.

Anyone want to read my MM Thesis on the acoustical properties of the trumpet?

First you'll be like [Neene3], [Tooth], then [Shock] [Whacko], resulting in [Cry] [Eek3] [Dunno] [Shake], then getting fed up and [Ban3] [Punker] [Pop], while thinking about [Hang] , while saying [Help] , then telling me[Smart] , finally resulting in [M2] of the paper....

The end.

wow that sounds awesome!

Would a trumpet sound different if you weren't holding it at all? Like if it were suspended with zero support?

From a physics standpoint, yes. The question really becomes, would the human ear be able to percieve that difference? No. The only thing that may be perceive is a slight variation in tone quality.

What's the class? What type of paper? What format? Cited references? How long? These all come into play as to how you will address the information in the paper and many times what pieces of information you want to address.

A second example would be the unwillingness of Japan to consider invading the west coast due to the armed population (among many other factors).

So what you are saying is, the only war the French won on their own was the one against themselves?[ROFL2]

Yep your right on target I'm just trying to illustrate the benefits of firearms to society and CCW/Hunting are my two main points to discuss thus far

Also, you may want to consider presenting the argument (if you believe it) that you are really writing about the benefits of a force equalizer, and if something more effective than guns came along, you'd support that as well.

Honestly I think that is a great Idea because I actually use that exact wording in my intro.. the only thing is that we had to pick an arguable topic to defend and I think I lose that aspect by the force equalizer wording
