No it isn't. It's justice ... that is, certainly it's terrible (for pure justice is a terrible thing), but it's not terrible in the wimpy, passive, hand-wringing Churchianity way that you mean the word.

snigger...chortle...guffaw! I'd say that you are my kind of Christian, Gary, except that Ilion would try to twist it around, so I'll say that, in my humble opinion, you're Christ's kind of Christian. Something he'll never be.

Regardless of one's opinion on the morality of the mans profession, he was still murdered, and his killer should pay the appropriate penalty for not giving him the very right that his trail will represent. No one has the right to take the law into their own hands.
I have sympathy for some of these guys - not the ones who bomb the clinics, but the guys who honestly believe that these doctors are committing murder and that every day they (the abortionists) are allowed to continue their grisly trade more innocents will die. I don't agree - or at least find myself not ready to agree wholeheartedly - but I ask myself, if I knew there was someone who was killing little kids and that for one reason or another (diplomatic immunity, maybe?) he couldn't or wouldn't be prosecuted - would I break the law and deliver justice?

Either one believes in the importance and sanctity of the legal system or one does not. It seems to me that it would be far better to work to change a legal system that is allowing some to escape prosecution inappropriatelty, than to presume the right to "deliver justice" (the quotes because I find the very idea suspect) oneself.

I believe in it. No question about it. But it doesn't mean I don't have sympathy for those who, in the belief that they are doing what must be done, break the law. Were I ever to be pushed to that extreme - I don't know that I ever could be, I could not argue with whatever penalty the law chose to impose.

Have you ever read Billy Budd? It makes the difference between the law and justice quite clear and why we must accept the law as the closest we can ever get to justice, as well.

This isn't about the government going after an individual. This is about the government attempting to dominate the entire population. Perhaps Obama decides its time for a change and bans all fireamrms, and sends soilders to each home to collect them. Well that would be time to fight. I GUARANTEE you there would be fire fights across the country, protests, riots, the works. Do you really think they are stupid enough to try to collect weapons if they know they are going to be used? I dont fucking think so retard. You are so fucking pathetic. You can't defend yourself! Only a fucking moron could think he could really defend himself against real threats with a fucking boomerang. Get real fucktard. You are helpless and pathetic against any real threat. What are you going to do throw money at them? :laugh: Fuck...

Well, that sounds like your wet dream. It plainly won't happen tho.

No, you appear to think that, but I don't.

Interesting. Were you stoned when you wrote this ? Will the government take your guns ? Not likely. If the government decided to take your guns, could they ? Of course. I mean, they have nukes, and you have what ?

Of course I can.

1 - because I don't live in a country full of gun nuts, if someone threatens me, I know the odds of them having a gun are low 2 - trying to defend yourself with a gun is a good way to get shot So, I can easily defend myself, I'd sure rather grab something close at hand to fight someone with a knife, than with a gun.
CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

Here's an interesting question. What threat ? On what basis do you think someone would threaten me at all ?
CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

Funny enough, the only reason I can see for someone to pull a gun on me, is robbery. So, yes, if I gave them what they wanted, the odds are good I would survive. Assuming they had a gun. If they didn't have a gun ( which is likely because this is not a country of war mongering gun nuts ), I could just grab an axe or something and it would be game on.

The number of challenges/organisms that a person's immune system encounters in a day is an order of magnitude more than the number of vaccines they'll receive over their entire life.
Sure - his point was that a lot of them were vaccinating against things that are not life threatening. He said he would ask 'what if we don't do this and he gets this disease' and the answer was 'he'll feel a bit sick for a few days'. If that is true, why vaccinate ? Like I said above, I've only heard his side, and I would default towards 'do what the doctor recommends', but if he's right, I would agree that it's silly to vaccinate for things that are not really that bad.

The allegations are that the mercury in some vaccinations are contributing to autism. Might be true. But the answer isn't to stop the vaccinations, but to actively get them changed to stop using mercury.
This statement is false
There's no good evidence for it and a LOT of good evidence against it. The mercury and thimerserol debate is actually considered pretty over by even most of autism/vaccine staunchest supporters. There were a bunch of really good studies done to look at the link since Andrew Wakefield faked his first study on autism vs vaccines in the 90s - so the anti-vaccination crowd has pretty much switched to 'well it must be other contaminants' and other memes like 'too many too soon.' It's a nasty business...
