  1. downing debeers : seems a little bit of a stretch, to mix nuclear desruction in this topic. One is a slim possiblity ,the other is a daily occurrence.

  2. Josif Maracine : only if he never has to sleep and he's herding sheep.

  3. Closeoutracer : nobody said that it's all left or right. No one thier right mind would want to live in or condemn others to live in a dog eat dog every man for themselves world. Co-operation is what got us this far and hasn't done that bad of a job. We either work together or we go down together.

  4. Wingnut Trailblazer I'm with we the people, which includes the gov. We the people helped build this mess and its getting more people like the new DA in philly in charge. Atleast some states are fighting back against repressive bank accts in suits we call representation.

  5. Wingnut Trailblazer first we have to decide what is unconstitutional, like the bible its mostly on interpation. But we there are many laws and regulations designed to benifit a single business or restrict workers rights. And dont even get me started on tax shelters.

  6. Xcho :So , the only solution is taking the bunker mentality and more guns? How helpful. Reason dictates that you can't fight gov. so what gives ? Who are you so afraid of ?

  7. Michael Pryse : i guess you would know.

  8. Doña LeVeck : They! Don't lump us all together. We don't all agree with this bs.

  9. Daniel.D Darwish : really, we keep fighting the good fight to bring our country back in line. Since 9-11 america has gone a bit mad, that's definitely true. We are not used to being attscked and makes us a bit testy.

  10. Wingnut Trailblazer : Really! Have you ever been shot at ? There is a big diference when your targets can shoot back.

  11. KlllrJay : if armed security can't defend us than why have them at all. A waste of money apparently.

  12. KlllrJay: So the only answer is the bunker mentality ? Uparm everyone and things will be better ? That hasn't worked so far. .The more guns on the street the more jumpy the cops get.

  13. KlllrJay Agreed, but we have to start somewhere.

  14. Closeoutracer : the gop doing something right, your a hoplessly optimist.

  15. Closeoutracer : so more guns is the answer, arm teachers , daycare workers, retirement center workers, cafeteria staff, bus drivers, everywhere but in the NRA events _cause guns make them nervous.

  16. KlllrJay : how is that supposed to work. Nobody knows how they will react until the decision is forced upon them - fight or flight. Cops training doesn't include getting shot at for real.

  17. Closeoutracer :Really! We have been hearing the same damned bs for so long its getting old and things are only getting worse. The NRA want the blind to have the right to carry, they could care less as long as the money keeps rolling in. The more the carnage the more they can call for more weapons. Win -Win.

  18. Closeoutracer :Are you seriously comparing a back water of 33000 with chicago.

  19. Closeoutracer : so we're on our way to becoming sudan. Guns , guns for every one. We can all sit around polishing our barrels.

  20. Closeoutracer : have you ever been under fire. Probably not. So i wouldn't be so quick to judge. He did make a mistake and he will have to live with it forever. Plus he wasn't the only officer sitting back.

  21. Closeoutracer Your right it's not the wild west. Atleast they knew guns should be kept at home. Remember the ok corral.
    1
  22. Closeoutracer :Ok look nobody has all answers but the problem is clear. Way to many fools with guns. We should add up all the accidental deaths and injuries as well ,so we get a more accurate picture. Is there a real reason why even gathering stats on gun related deaths and injuries is a fought so hard against ? Give me your view.

  23. Closeoutracer : Really, i like the dog part and I'll take a shotgun or pistol for home defense. Atleast i won't be shooting up the whole neighborhood, to chase off a raccoon.

  24. Closeoutracer : your right those kids probability wouldn't mind if the teacher accidently shot them in her fear. Your problem is blame the victim, it can't be our fault. We're just being patriotic , that's so old. Patriots who hate the gov. except when they protect thier right to bear arms , perfect in so many ways.

  25. Closeoutracer : free ! you got to be kidding. We all live in a world of rules. So what freedom are you so desperately missing out on.

  26. Closeoutracer im' sorry, i should comment on the mental health point . we have utterly failed on that issue. Yes, most have mental problems of one kind or another, but it took another spark to get the focus required( dogma, hatered, ego) to justify it to themselves.

  27. Closeoutracer : nothing happens if you can't get enough Assholes to follow. All of these events didn't come from consolidated power but from the heart of your fellow man. We just never seem to learn our lessons.

  28. Closeoutracer : When you see a person open carry you don't think ' i feel so protected' no , you think ' i really need to be somewhere else' .

  29. Closeoutracer yes, man is a deluded fool who treats his fellows so damn poorly over greed , power ,religious dogma and petty grievances . These are the tools.used to keep us divided , unable to move forward always looking back. Our self inflicted wounds.

  30. Closeoutracer : democracy also coming from the heart as well. Every one wants to be as free as possible, but not everyone wants the person standing next to them to be free as possible .

  31. Closeoutracer : this is not the 70's. Stop turning to the past . Alot of things used to be and reality is in the now. You cant' recreate a world thats gone .

  32. Is it possible to make killing at least a bit more labour intensive. All you need right now us some cash and a trigger finger( no brain required).
