numbskull, you're puttin' the burden of defense from a violent criminal on a defenseless elderly woman.
You believe in the concept that she had the obligation to run.
In my country, we overwhelmingly believe in the concept that the innocent have the right to stand their ground.
It is also a Western concept that it is morally permissable to use lethal force in the face of the threat of lethal force.
numbskull, why do you put all the onus on a defenseless elderly woman? She hadn't done anything wrong and she was within her own home? Not only that, but you call her lazy and takin' the easy way out by protectin' her own life. How low can you go?
You're really somethin' else, numbskull.
I enjoy your handle and the reason you picked it.

numbskull, I didn't cherry-pick the net. That story was on the news this week. I only Googled a link just for you.
So accordin' to you, numbskull, this elderly woman should have owned a dog to save her life from any dark eventuality. She should've turned her home into a fortress with bars on the window to keep potential rapist-murderers out. She should have let herself be cornered - unarmed - in a small confined space which is easy to break in to. Accordin' to you, the death of this criminal with a long history of criminalty is the fault of this law-abidin' 56 YO woman who was alone and mindin' her own business within the alleged safety of her own home.
Do you know how you sound, numbskull?
Yes, just like that.

it has been easier for the Japanese to reject all use of violence in part through the government's and society's of highly restricting many weapons and not just guns, which are tools of violence
numbskull, I gotta admire the Japanese in a weird sorta way... They like to do all their killin' up close and personal, usually with a blade.
Me? I prefer keepin' threats at a distance. Firearms are good tools for doin' just that.
If your government has neutured you from gun ownership, you may wanna address that. Northern Irelanders enjoy their gun rights apparantely, and mainland Brits are demonstratin' in the streets that the government has left them defenseless against criminals who have no problem gettin' firearms.
Bobbies wearin' bullet-proof vests nowadays agree with these civilians.

herefornow, if you really listened to the speech or read the text of it, President Obama said he is prepared to use military force unilaterally to protect America. I listend to the whole speech as he said it, as I was simultaneously postin' excerpts from it at the JT Olympics.
If you don't understand what he said above, it means President Obama doesn't care what you or the world thinks. He is prepared to use American military force and go it alone to do what he believes to be morally right, and the military option is right up there and the rest of world can go suck eggs.
GWB and Cheney are just distanct memories? -Not by that global speech.
Bwahahahahaha...

As we all know, to a Republican, self defense is when you think somebody MIGHT be armed, so you drop him by breaking his nose and rifle through his pockets. Then he turns out to not be armed, you say he did not treat his kids right
You're mindset is funny, numbskull.

"you don't contribute a whole lot to the Federal budget"

Combini, you don't contribute to the whole Federal budget for 'war'. Very little, in fact, compared to other government expenditures.
You also pay very little in taxes compared to socialist governments such as Japan and those that make up Eurabia.
But, if you think you pay too much in taxes for 'war' now, wait until you start kickin' in for 'free' universal health coverage. Prepare to grab your ankles.

Combini, you mean your country isn't one of the forty-two on board that he mentioned?
Credibility? Carter, Annan, Yasser Arafat... The committee has been outta their collective minds for years.

North London, a 'public vote'? How'd ya get anything done?
As far as the 'Peace' prize goes, their selections of a number of buffoons over the years indicates it's just a whole bunch of silliness.
P.S. Support your troops.

Is yours one of them?

zurchromium, maybe that's because he sounded more like President Bush at certain points throughout the script rather than someone on his knees beggin' for forgiveness which has been his usual public demeanor.

skip, I'd say wars are inevitable religion or no religion.
Mankind has never needed 'religion' as an excuse to kill his fellow man. The 4 to 6 percenters will ensure that.
Secular governments have killed more people than religious fundamentalists.
If some Islamic theocracies get their nuclear bombs and the means to deliver them. Those numbers may change.

I'd say wars are inevitable.
Maybe 4 to 6 percent of those who populate the planet are 'not quite human'. They are born without what some people may call a 'soul'. They are completely incapable of empathizin' with people but over time become excellent mimics of 'appropriate' human emotions to hide their true selves... when to cry, when to laugh with a group, etc. Most aren't killers, of course 'cause they don't want those particular consequences if caught. Usually they just maniupulate people and situations to gratify whatever they want at the time.
Ladies... -Sound like anyone you've dated? Married?

To go beyond rhetoric... Preemptively launching a war on another nation and torturing people are characteristics of one president
Oh, puleeease, yabits. Violatin' UN resolutions?
Torture? Your team can't tell the difference between nasty college hazin's the same way it can't tell the difference between a parent beatin' a child and a parent spankin' a child.
You want to talk 'water boardin''? Fine. I'll take that over gettin' my head slowly sawed off for the fundamentalist Islamic ummah or bored Western audiences seekin' graphic entertainment when there's nothin' on the tube.
