"Weapons are the instrument and not the cause. It is at this point something of a cliché, but it should perhaps be offered anyway: If someone is determined to kill a substantial number of people, they will almost certainly manage to do so" One can offer it up...but a lunatic with a gun is far more likely to actually commit an assault. Much easier to pull the trigger from behind both the perceived security a gun offers and as well the distance from the victim. Want to kill someone with a knife - gets personal and the victim can at least fight back somewhat. Additionally - guns are far more deadly than sticks, stones, fists and knives.,,this current guy did kill his roommates with a knife - but that kid in Pittsburgh who went on a knife attack - managed to only injure them - had he had a gun.... Think of it this way - replace all the guns in the US with knives.....still think we would have these mass shootings? What the gun does is magnify and leverage the ability and intent of the bad guy....something left out in the "guns don't kill...." mantra

Ya. i can see you pretty much stand for nothing.....

Dude - the ONLY place you have credibility with your fellow tin foil hat circle jerkers is here - you have become incredibly well versed in propping each other up in your little world of cognitive dissonance. I would feel frightened if I had credibility with people who don't follow science but rather conspiracies, can't admit Cliven Bundy was a complete whiff of a subject, latch on the Benghazi with great temerity because Obama - while giving the complete conspiracy of waging two wars on fabricated evidence a free pass..... "Clean up your own house" - what a hypocritical joke you guys are..... Works for you!

Circle jerk strong tonite. Arms tired?

Do you have a point? GW isn't happening? GW is happening but it is not caused by human activities? GW is happening and is caused by humans and we should do something about it? GW is happening and is caused by humans but we won't do anything?

No....the decision is this....is the costing of preventing the effects more or less than the consequences?...adapting sounds so easy and painless....you are talking about moving 2/3 of the worlds population - yes - we will just move Manhattan, Miami, New Orleans, Shanghai.....the costs to bend the curve are huge as is the cost of the changes....since the costs are now and the consequences are later.... That is what an engineer would say.... We are just another animal on this planet behaving like any other would

Where? Because I don't jump on board with cutting pasting articles on absofreakinglutely idiotic topics like the "war on women" Banging the gong on STUPID partisan topics like wars on women, instagram posts by MO, have nothing to do with being conservative.....

Project even more? :thumbsup:

Project much

You do realize where you are right? You have stumbled in to a water cooler conversation at a big company....the same 6-7 guys hang out here all the time - you know the type.....the guys who think they know everything - they are soooo smart - just ask them - or better yet just look at their coffee cup mugs... but in spite of all this vision and greatness they haven't advanced to upper management....they can't believe their intelligence hasn't been noticed and they have become - predictably - "against the mainstream". They find solace in being against things rather than for them, they find it easier to adopt conspiracy theories (after all - their must be a conspiracy to explain why they are not in charge) than to come to grips with the complexities and realities of the landscape. They think there are simplistic answers to the companies complex problems. They think everything that management does is stupid and misguided and offer up constant criticism but no pragmatic or executable solutions. They find solace here at the water cooler - they sit around reinforcing each other with cynical snippets and one liners that give themselves the false confidence of a small crowd of think-a-likes. The water cooler has become much like teenagers with texting - getting that little jolt of reinforcement from their buddies - so they hang out here all the time. You know where you are....

Do you take in information from all sources and form your own opinion and viewpoint.....or do you read posts from a news source that is clearly only going to have one - and only one - stance on an issue and take it as fact?

Who is the "you're" you speak of? I believe when Bush was in office - it was pretty much a bipartisan proposal cobbed up from previous proposals. Likewise - it was rejected by the far left and far right.

You do realize that CNS NEWS source is somewhat misleading with the leading sentence right? The HS did not say or imply that the 11 million have already earned the right to citizenship....he said that they should have the opportunity to earn the right to citizenship. There has not been a recent proposal from the left or the right that does not require a very long and involved process - lasting as long as 10+ years and involving paying penalties and back taxes - for those who are now residing illegally in the States to become citizens - thereby providing the "earning" element.

What do you do all day....? I mean besides chiming in with the same 5-6 like-minded snipers incessantly monitoring a backwater forum in the back of a backwater forum?

The math of this always amazes me. 68 percent of earth is covered by oceans and those levels can be raised by feet due to melting of frozen ice. That.....is alot of water....

Actually I think looking at last season - kind makes more the case that we don't need EJ to be a top 10 quarter back to make the playoffs. I would add to the OP - special teams killed us in two games - probably lost us two games in fact - Cleveland (2-3 long returns) and Cinci (long return in OT that sealed the game). Stevie in 4th quarter NE Stevie and our stone fisted TE in ATL ST Teams - ATL - Cinci Devastated with injuries - (def backfield - CJ, Fred, SJ - Plantar Fachitis safety guy....) Lose ALL our QB's at some point - playing UDFA??? Think of all that. If EJ is competent we are in good shape - if he is top 15 QB - we are 10-6 easy.

Not sure why you feel the need to get personal and attempt to read into my psyche....I have attempted to lay out the facts of the case, the history involved, the Scotus decision, and what it means moving forward. Additionally, I am hardly the only one who forsaw hte coming of the Pabstbetariens. Instead of responding to this structure you decide to try to assasinate my character.....

Does anyone here actually READ and UNDERSTAND these decisions? Yes, prayer has been allowed in public government meetings. The content of these prayers - though - has been limited to general - and one could say - nondenominational language. What the two women were saying as that what was happening in Greece went beyond this boundary. I can see their point. They are lesbian and the Christians have been against their being in many ways - and now they are opening a government meeting in a "Christian" manner. You - and Scotus - have chosen not to see their point - or shrug it off as tough beans - but I do think they have a point. As well - you - and Scotus - have chosen to view these prayers as not "proselytizing". That is your choice and Scotus has determined as such. I disagree. When I am subject to these prayers - it comes across as "proselytizing" (yes I know wtf it means). Likewise - when I see these prayers or convocations in a government meeting - it does - to me - come across as government participation. I know you and Scotus disagree. What this decision has done has removed the "general" or "nondenominational" boundary to these prayers - and additionally - it has taken away any legislative ability to place a boundary on this language. So your local and state govt's don't get to decide what is appropriate for their constituents. I don't go to too many govt meetings - but - as I predicted - this opened the door for more depth and flavor to these prayers - but it has also opened the door for highly motivated religious people like our Pabstbetarien to see this as a battleground and a contest to win. Awesome - the local government meeting is now another place for religious viewpoints to be contested. Pretty simple just to keep them separate - but as you and Scotus see it no harm no foul.

Pretty sure i do.....you are telling me there is not an element of conversion in what these people are doing?

That is kind of how I see anyone who feels the need to proselytize in a government meeting - whether it be Christians, Muslims, Satanists or Pabstists....and now thanks to SCOTUS....game on....and I mean game

Led all rookie receivers in the NFL in yardage (964)...and had 996 in another year.....

Are you serious?

"Who and what religons, sects etc now get to open whatever goverment function for their own specific purposes. This was not a judicious or conservative or safe ruling.....it was a religiously activist ruling. Can't wait for every religon to now try to spead their mission into every local or state meeting.....and the arguements to follow.......simply an awful ruling." First page.....champ
