Belief---in any religion---in the end is just an opinion. Having an opinion does not shape behavior. Some of the worst people in the world I have ever met call themselves Christians. Even the American Family Association, a Evangelical group, is so twisted that they support the worst aspects of politics and have recently supported Gadaffi in Libya, and Pat Robertson supports the murderous tyrant in the Ivory Coast. Pat, the lover of race horses and money. As for the Jews---the very existence of Israel and huge military industrial complex is a testimony of their disbelief in God. Never again--means never again leaving it up to God to save them, which didn't happen during the holocaust as they were lead off to the gas chambers. They no longer believe it, what they do believe in is their guns and A-bombs--100 at last count--aimed at most of the countries in the world.

If I was a cop, I would think fewer guns on the street was a VERY good idea. But the idea of gun control you know keeping guns out of the hands of ex-cons, insane people, and possible Muslim or Right-wing terrorist, is such a crazy idea for the GOP that they will not stand for it. Those terrorists need weapons too!

Nah. No riots yet on campus. But, when the currency goes to crap (which it will--no currency delusion here, just kind of looking at it factually, and the debt bubble explodes) then it will get wild. BUT, to think, to even think, that your pathetic gun is going to help you through this, is the end of all delusions. A gun is not going to SOLVE problems. A gun does not magjically put food on the table. A gun does not bring about friendship. A gun does not lower the debt. A gun just kills people, so if you like killing people, then Junnama, you are going to probably have an opportunity, but as the bible says, those who live by the sword, DIE by the sword.

Uh, the teaparty can like really relate to these type of people. Can you imagine the people who make up the teaparty listening to a guy with two Ph.Ds in economics and politics giving them in-depth speeches. I don't EVEN have THAT kind of imagination. Nope. These people want it clean, black and white, and really, really simple. Welcome to America!

Devalue it HOW? Interests are zero. Debt is the highest in the history of mankind. What else can they do?

Smart people are NOT understood or appreciated by teaparters. That is why they yawned and whined about long thoughtful speeches by Obama. They wanted SOUNDBITEs and that is why morons like Huckbee (his family photo from his home state make the Beverhill Hillbillies look intelligent) and Sarah Palin who graduated with a BA on Commuications are so worshipped as potential leaders. Smart people have no place in the GOP. Why name one person with a Ph.D in that crowd? And the three shootings that occurred in 2010 the culprits said that Beck was their teacher, so yeh, the shooters DO take them seriously.

Yeh, tell her that and she will probably spit at you. In fact, she probably thinks she needs to lose another 2 kilos. A real sickness, this anexoria, is. Plus the fact that good fashion doesn't have to cost a million. But the rich are mostly FOOLS, and they will not pay for anything beautiful AND cheap. THAT is really how stupid they are, and so this is why we still have a fashion industry and reporters and magazines that cater to this diehard group--despite the harsh economy.

Yeh, that will be AFTER you are shot. Kind of like that Japanese guy who mispronounced trick or treat and got blown AWAY. And the guy GOT off on it. In Florida, the CASTLE LAW reigns supreme. If ANYONE at ANYTIME makes you nervous, you have the right to shoot him or her! Neat huh? Just the way you guys like it!

Yeh! How DARE he have the audacity to tell people to TONE DOWN their violent rhetoric. What America needs is MORE violent rhetoric, like from Glenn Beck and that blonde terror who wants concentration camps for liberals--however that is defined, which might in the end include anyone that looks smart. Yeh, can't DARE have people calling for more reasoned and logical dialogue!

GOOD one Cleo! LOL! Right. Don't want to piss them off, look at them the wrong way or come over at the wrong time on the wrong day or get them in the wrong mood. Kind of like dancing on eggshells, ain't it. Or dealing with the yakusa! But for the right-winger, this reality is paradise.

Yeh, like Bachmann hasn't said that she is behind enemy lines and wants her people to have a revolution and to use their second amendment rights. Like to see that happen actually! See how that ALL pans out for you right-wingers. THAT would be great movie. Wait, we did see that once before in Waco Texas where right-wingers defended a guy with 20 wives and had sexually molested young girls and in Oklahoma with Timothy McVeigh, again another 'hero" of the right, protesting big big big government.

Not to mention the civil suit. There was the famous case of a Japanese foreign exchange student who showed up on Halloween at the wrong house and did not understand the word frozen. The guy, who was just beside himself with fear, decided that shot in the air would not suffice or a shot in the ground before the person, but HAD to shoot at the chest. Needless to say, while he won the criminal case of manslaughter, he lost the civil case and had the entire hatred of the state on him and his family. So, no more money for the rest of his life. Needless to say this lead to strong gun control laws in Lousiana but since then all of these have been rolled back. Even in Florida, there is the castle law in which at ANY place and if ANY person makes you afraid, you have the right to blow him or her away. Wow! For a right-winger, such a law makes a place paradise. No kidding. For me, it is a hell.

I love this fantasy. Yeh, a guy breaks in, and has the element of surprise on you and a gun that is already loaded and pointed at you. Yeh, like you will be the one who prevails. LIke to see some stats on this one. You know, percentages of break ins and people who actually got the burglar first.

What is it with you right-wingers!? You REALLY HATE the idea that old people can like relax and not work. Like everyone must WORK until they die?! Really? Or the myth that we can actually SAVE enough money for us to live on for 10 years? Or five? Do you all really believe this? If you need to 200,000 yen a month, then try saving at least 50,000 a month. Set it aside. Then after a year, do you have? Not much! A few months. Then do that for 20 years. Yeh, looking grim if you retire at 60. THAT is why we have a pension system because it is darn hard for a carpenter, for example, on a flippin WALKER to find work. Ain't going to happen, and for us liberals we just find it difficult to have LEGIONS of old people outside begging and dying in the streets by the millions.

Geez, what do these folks know that the rest of us do not? Or is it that they just have more unrational fear and less imagination about other things you can spend your money on. PLUS the fact that they could have used this money to sponsor a child, give the world food fund or to some charity. NO, it was more important to have a weapon of mass desruction. Yeh, these guys and gals are real diamonds! Sure are! Wonderful folks they are. Hope the bible is right--those that live by the sword, die by the sword!!!!!!!

But where are they flocking to? Where can these indominatable powers go? Will they take over the world? Or just implode due to incompetence, greed, corruption and overpopulation along with environmental ruin. But, join the club. The U.S. is great at this gig too.

manfromrightwingamerica--it is all about a people's militias. That is all. So people in states can have state guards. Keep means that those militias would keep the guns but this was not so detailed, as BACK then, things were a tad bit different. BUT if you LIKE the THOUSANDS who die each year, if this is just water off a ducks back for you, then I guess it doesn't matter much.

What makes it ridiculous? If you have a buy back program, a new strict gun control law that makes it a felony to own a gun, I dare say that most guns will be disposed of. It is easy to know who owns a gun--at least around 80% of the people. You can lose this freedom, and the logic goes that more needless deaths will be avoided. So simple isn't it? So, right-wingers, are you more interested in your "freedom" or in people's lives. Even one child's life. Easy question!

Hypothetical question you right-wingers. Just asking, see. How many children need to die before you are willing to give up this precious right to kill anyone at anytime in any place? 100,000? 1,000,000? Just asking see. Your previous comments indicate an endless number.
