  1. We shouldn't pay for so many police. You do realize that they have no duty to protect you, right? Call the cops and say you are being held at gunpoint, and they take 2 hours to show up? Doesn't matter if you are killed. They have no liability. The Supreme Court has ruled that unless you are in Police custody they have no responsibility for your safety. Their only function is to investigate crimes after they happen, and arrest suspects. This guy is absolutely correct about PDs in this country. Does it give him the right to go around and shoot people? Hell no. As far as the LAPD not giving a **** about the citizenry? Their actions speak for themselves. I've yet to see a cop value the lives of those around him over his own, which is something many soldiers take pride in. Also, this has nothing to do with liberalism/conservatism. In fact, I lean libertarian on many issues, which would make me far more conservative than anyone who calls themselves a Republican.
  2. How much do you want to bet that these officers never spend a day in prison? The LAPD is just proving this guy right. Cops don't give a **** about you, they only see you as an overtime check. Even the tiniest, slightest threat is enough to get them to indiscriminately fire into a neighborhood.
  3. No DT that averages 5 sacks a year is a bust. Anyone who says that is a !@#$ing idiot.
  4. I'm surprised this isn't more common among NFL players. Trainers routinely feed these guys pills that are many times stronger than heroin.
  5. If they come door to door taking guns then people will do it. Have you ever heard the expression "from my cold dead hands"? I don't even own a gun, but if it were to come to gun confiscation I would expect most owners would defend their rights.
  6. I think Britt should turn himself in for a complete interview by the police, said no lawyer ever.
  7. Cuomo will never be president after this bill. There is absolutely, positively no way that he could win a litany of swing states.
  8. Edwards HAD been a DC in the NFL before the Bills hired him. He was a DC in Washington.
  9. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/15/nyregion/new-york-legislators-hope-for-speedy-vote-on-gun-laws.html?partner=MYWAY&ei=5065&_r=1& Perhaps it is time to refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of those who deny us our 2nd amendment rights? If they come door to door taking guns, I would hope that people would defend their rights with their lives.
  10. It depends on which conflicting passages you believe. You can find ample scripture on both sides, for example: “For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:18-19 RSV) or "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB) It's Constitutional. see: the Lemon test
  11. Thanks for actually backing up your opinions with evidence, and contributing to the discourse.
  12. What are you even blabbering about? Your ad hominem are particularly puzzling. Since when is it an act of survival to slaughter every man, woman, and child in a city? It's nothing more than barbarism. I relate the story of Jericho to Christians because the orders to commit genocide were given by the same god that supposedly sent Jesus to die for everyone's sin. In relation to your personal attacks, your quote makes absolutely no sense.The Quran and Bible are actually very similar. In fact, Jesus is referenced, by name, 5 times more than Muhammad, there is even an open grave next to Muhammad remains for when Jesus returns. However, where they go wrong is that they more "religiously" adhere to their holy book. Modern Christians and Jews don't normally don't follow some of the more morally problematic passages in the Old Testament. This helps create a more stable society and avoid some of the senseless slaughter caused by fundamental adherence. Now, onto abortion being murder. If you agree that abortion is murder, then many miscarriages must be manslaughter. Smoke a cigarette (or have a drink) and your baby is aborted? Manslaughter. It would be no different than your negligence killing an adult. Fetuses are naturally aborted by their host's at a drop of a hat, and as such half of all fetuses are never even born. Yet abortion is murder? Probably during late term ones, but that's already illegal.
  13. How about reading comprehension? Naturally aborting a fetus for $1000. What is a miscarriage?
  14. I compared it to murder because most Christians say it is murder. I never said it is. I was merely pointing out that while "Christians" decry abortion, the holy book they claim to follow is rife with far worse examples of a "perfect" being doing unconscionable things. And the Old Testament is criticized because it's the basis of Christianity. It's in the Bible because Jesus and Old Testament god are considered to be one and the same. Did god somehow change from a murdering psychopath to a loving hippy? Do we give him a pass for sending bears to kill 40+ children because they mocked a man's bald head? Do we give him a pass for forcing the Egyptian Pharaoh to not free the Jews, and then killing thousands of innocent children? No one denies that their "loving" god did all these things. They are written plain as day in the scripture. Genocide and death are as much as part of Christianity as loving thy neighbor. If you say so, but there is as much evidence for a christian god as there is for the flying spaghetti monster. At least the FSM doesn't have a crappy book that people gloss over. Nor does the FSM act like a narcissistic child and force people to worship him or be eternally damned. The best thing my parents ever did was send me to a Jesuit high school. Actually reading the bible gives you a much different impression than you would get from sitting through sunday school.
  15. Just because it has a heartbeat, that makes it human? The facts are that it's nothing more than a parasite at that point. It has no ability to live separated from it's mother, and stands a good chance of being DESTROYED by being rejected. The majority of fertilized eggs end up as nothing more than vaginal discharge. Your own god even places no value on those "lives". After all, why else would he kill half of them before their born?

  17. Except abortion isn't murder. Not even close. Near half of fetuses are naturally aborted, should we try mothers who have miscarriages for manslaughter? Early term abortion is nothing more than removing a clump of cells. It is in no way analogous to killing a fully formed human.
  18. Ignorance? You mean fact? What happened to all those people when the walls of Jericho fell? Oh yeah, all men women and children were put to the sword by the order of god. What should happen to a rebellious child? They should be put to death, by the order of god. You can claim ignorance all you want, but it is yours... not mine. These are parts of the bible that contradict any sense of "sacredness" of life.
  19. It's hard to take any Christian's plea for "pro-life" legislation seriously. I mean, the Bible is full of an evil god murdering as he pleases. In fact, it even commands you to stone to death your daughter if she isn't a virgin at the time of marriage. When did life all of a sudden become so sacred?
  20. Since it's impossible for the Bills to play a good D-line every game, It seems like your criteria for being good will never be met. What they do against crappy lines is just as important as what they do against good ones.
  21. I don't get why everyone is so hung up on the 2010 draft. Getting two starters out of a draft is by no means "really terrible". Hell, New England has had a few "really terrible" drafts in the last 5 or 6 years. You know, years where not one drafted player was a starter.
  22. Very interesting, I think we might end up keeping 5 ends. Especially with Gilbert's ability to play tackle as well.
  23. I'm not sure I follow your argument. You make far too many sweeping generalizations without a shred of evidence to support them.
  24. Because its an extension of US drug policy. Why else do you think the International Olympic Committee tests for weed? It isn't because weed is a PED. A good comparison would be the drinking age. The Federal government denies highway funds to states that have an age below 21. The same is most definitely true for our universities. If you don't test your athletes for illegal drugs, guess what? No federal funding.
  25. Weed, specifically. Nothing else will show up on a drug test. Do cocaine? Lay off for a few days. Smoke weed? Test positive for a month.
