How pray-tell does the Cambrian Explosion point towards creation?

McCain

You want an argument ? 

 

Play a game of pure chess and see how your ideas hold after being slammed against the wall. 

 

LOL

I swear to God I'm an athiest!

is this open forum or gun ownership rights debate class. next topic please.

guns don't kill, people do. no gun has ever jumped off the shelf and commited murder. No law will change the fact that people, and not guns commit the crime. If we elliminate the guns from the honest citizens the crimes will not stop, only our ability to defend against them.

I own several weapons, but have never chosen to commit a crime with them. Should the situation arrise however that I needed to defend my wife, children, and\or home with one of them you can be assured I would do so unhesitantly.

If we remove guns, there are simply too many other weapons that are there to replace them. Do we then stop selling bows? knives? swords? Where do we stop the infringment upon my constitutional RIGHT to bear arm and defend myself. The next step I am sure would be to lock up all of us who have been trained in the arts, and\or by the military. My hands are registered, does that make me a weapon that needs to be illiminated?

wjones4 fails to understand that not all black and not all white are black and white. Think about it.  In the business world deals are done 'in house/country' as it were, and benefits to sellers and buyers are negotiated prior to such arrangements to which refer, are set in place. For further clarification, look behind the principal shareholders of Carlyle Holdings.  Yes, you may then easily and readily understand how more than friendly cooperation has developed between the U>K> and the U.S.A. via Bush Snr and others like John Major ex Prime Minister of the U.K. and very well placed to have followed his LEADS from his friendships with his previous Employers!!!  I won't go further on this.

lol...well, sure why not!!! Japan can sell there cars here though...hell they have factorys here making them anyway.

That gets me to wondering too....how can the Japanese run their factories here employing US workers and they seem to be able to make money and excel but our own companies seem to have problems with it?

Most of the right wing nutcases will say cannabis.

If your attitude is 'why ban guns' and the US continues to bow down to the gun lobby, surely you lose your right to complain over gun-related crimes?

What is more destructive, a gun or cannabis?

okay...but I never said we had less gun problems or gun related problems

I simply said that the gun laws they want to pass will not change the real issue which is violence

and that IS proven 

its definitely not true waht you say wjones. In USA, you can by a pumpgun in a supermarket. there is indeed a much highere percentage and also much higher death rate in view to shootings in USA than in European states.

And one , the most important one, reason for that is, you can easily get a gun.

There are many scientific results that prove my opinion. The fcats are ignored because the gun lobby in the USA is so strong.

You might say, there are too much gang crimes in the big cities, and average citizens have to defend themselves.

It is much better to ban the free sale of guns, and leave this problem exclusively to the police, as the practise in Europe and Japan shows. 

I'd rather have McCain than Obama but personally I will vote for Ron Paul still!!!!

go mccain!

Here's something that's been on my mind lately...well to be honest it's been on my mind most of my life but here lately I have been reflecting on it more.

Why are there a lot of people in this world that are just so disrespectful towards others?

There are numerous ways people show a basic lack of respect for other people.

 While shopping in a crowded store how many people will watch where other people are shopping and actually move to the side so they can get by or move over so they can get to whatever it was they were trying to get.

Better yet when someone is looking at the same stuff you want to get  will you wait until they are done so you don't crowd them? 

Why take 12 items to the 10 items or less line?

or 24 items to the 20 items or less line?

Why do people pull out into the main isle without looking and say "ooops I'm sorry" when they almost run you over? or not say anything?

Shopping is one of the worst places to see this lack of respect along with driving

Why do people drift over the yellow lines on a regular basis?

or pull out in front of you making you slow down when there is an open road behind you?

I could go on and on but I think you get the picture

Start looking around and you will see that this attitude is very common and it might surprise you!!!

In the work place also.

Pretty much wherever people gather you will find it

And so you know these are rhetorical questions not meant for an answer but to hopefully get some to hear what I am saying and maybe do some self reflection.

I am not above showing disrespect either, I am guilty but I do try to keep an eye on myself and treat everyone the way I wish to be treated

 

Hillary is out of it now though so I don't have to worry about her now

I was actually making a statement about all of the candidates for our presidency

I really don't like any of them  

lol...yes there was

I just reread it and I was thinking it sounded kind of hard 

Hilary then?  I'm just looking forward to the couple of months after the president is elected when you dont have pointless drawn out campaigning.  It's quite tedious really.  Can't imagine it's any less so if you live there. 

 

[edit lol what?? ok now you've got me worried.  there was a post there... right??]
