Well, that's true. There's also profit to be made in people writing books about how they have been unfairly dealt with. I tell my kids that all the time, when they complain I am unfair, I say 'write it down, for notes for when you write the story of how bad your childhood was'.

What kind of a parent are you? Your kids have things to do. You should write it down for them. And store a copy on-line in case of HD crash.

Yeah, I agree. The only reason to own a knife is to behead your wife. So, it's exactly like a gun. That's not retarded at all.

You seem to have a one sided view of guns. I don't see you calling for the banning of swords, bow and arrows, etc. When someone points out there bad uses, you put them down. That's not retarded at all, either.

Yeah, my daughter tells me that sort of stuff all the time, too. I got told last night she can't clean her room b/c she has homework now.

I agree. Why are we paying police when we could just arm the populace and live in the wild west ? Hell, I say whoever wins the gunfight, must have been the one in the right.

I see your point. Luckily, the police were right there to stop her husband, or she might have died.

now you're on to something.
Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

Exactly my point. The current system plainly cannot stop EVERY murder, but arming the populace, plainly can. I do think the US needs to do background checks before deciding which immigrants are given a gun on entry to the country, I mean, we don't want to go overboard.

It's just like Stan's brilliant social justice program. The people who are too poor, obviously are lazy. The people who die, were obviously guilty. The winners write the rules, and write history. everyone wins, except people who don't matter.

Yeah, there's a real issue with bow and arrow deaths, robberys done with swords, etc. I think ownership of such things should be equally restricted, but it sure as hell isn't as much of a problem.

No-one has brought up swords and bows and arrows. So far, the list is knives, and cars. Cars kill more people than guns, therefore guns should not be banned until cars are. THAT is the definition of retarded.

Christian, we'll never agree but I gotta give you props for consistincey. re: the death penalty, Catholism, Christianity in general, and, lightly, Judaism. I just finished a novel that my wife had recommended. When I picked it up my immediate reaction was, "Chick Lit". I read it and was blown away, really made me kick back and think. If you get a chance to pick it up, I think you'd find it very interesting. The title is, "Change of Heart". Based on this link [^] it's being made into a flick, the trailer really doesn't do it justice. I thought you might find it interesting, we've debated a lot of what is covered in the novel.

Thanks Mike, it sure sounds like the makings of a chick flick, but I've added it to my Amazon basket, based on your recommendation.

As, of course, compared to your own - implement ineffective and unworkable collectivist, centrally planned, social programs for the purpose of making sure that everyone is poor and starving.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Yes, because if we were to help people in need, we'd all starve. The money/food/etc would just evaporate, right ?

Took some hair off my arm to demonstrate just how sharp it is... other than that, no, too unwieldy!! Besides, one slip could change my religion!!

That's more a community project. Perhaps he merely didn't have the time to organize it.
Or it means he couldn't find anyone to help out.

My description of your attitude is as accurate, fair, and valid as is your's of mine.

Economic efficiency feeds more people than does economic inefficiency. At some point, any economy must err on the side of efficiency if it is to survive regardless of the demands that efficiency must place on those at the bottom. My opinion is that it is best to err on the side of expecting every able bodied person to be as productive as they possibly can be, and to rely upon the good will of the society itself to provide for everyone else rather than relying upon a political bureaucracy to manage wealth in a way they feel appropriate by means of forced confiscation of wealth. When I reach into my own pocket to help the less fortunant, it is an honorable, noble, laudable act. When you reach into my pocket for exactly the same purpose, it is nothing but theft.
