    And the game continues. “Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed” “One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated” Sir Thomas More (1478 – 1535)

So, the soapbox is for bad and puerile jokes, the lounge is edited, there's really no-where here to discuss anything controversial any more ? The indtroduction of points, voting, mobocracy and the deletion of the old SB has destrpyed what CP w=once was. It is now uselss, especially given how crap many of the articles are; I wss browsing smart_ptr articles. CP really needs to vet artricles before crap like that is published. ============================== Nothing to say.

    Saw a news clip where kids think a president is honest. I guess that honest Abe and George and the cherry tree have done the damage.

There is however a specific reason why they can't pass laws against guns. That is why it is different. Bergholt Stuttley Johnson wrote: you are the one thats saying a document writtren 200 years ago is perfect and cannot be improved on Wrong.

Second I have specifically said several times that there is a specific way in which gun laws could be allowed or even required. It would require that enough people wanted that. And that methodology is specifically built into the constitution. But the people do not want that. Not even close. And, again, because the US is a democracy the people get to decide that. Bergholt Stuttley Johnson wrote: I have been saying why not restrict ownership to liciensed and fully trained individuals, as the NY shooting shows this would not be a CURE but it would however reduce the problem, There is no evidence that is true. Actually there is evidence that suggests it isn't true, since Chicago has some of the strictest (and potentially illegal) restrictions and yet has one of the highest crime rates associated with guns.

    There's mods who are actively deleting bad questions and bad answers. Like someone else said, relax. There is a 'report' link, just like there's a forum for questions like this.
