    Gunman kills 30 at US university - time to review gun laws?

    I find it amusing that people wish to have firearms banned. The spout numbers of deaths as a reason.... where is the lobby to ban or restrict the purchasing of automobiles and driving priviliges? That is decidedly NOT covered in the Constitution. Automobiles are responsible for an estimated 1.2...

    Banning Guns Due to School Mass Shooting

    If the serial numbers were filed off, he did it, and who the hell can even fathom what was going through his demented psyche?? Read his 'plays'. There should have been someone in the staff that tried to get that guy counseling, he obviously had some sort of issues. This wasn't a typical case...

    Banning Guns Due to School Mass Shooting

    I don't have the right to carry on your property or anyone else's as long as you have it visibly shown that you do not want guns there. As long as you post it, then you are protected.

    Study: Abstinence Classes Don't Stop Sex

    People act the way they are expected to act. If you tell a person that they will be an alcoholic, they will be one. If you insist that people from certain areas are criminals, they will prove you right because they know that they will never be able to be anything more to you. If you insist that...

    Study: Abstinence Classes Don't Stop Sex

    Your right.. the use of "sole", was extreme and incorrect. There have been guidelines on sexuality since the beginning of civilization. EVERY single culture has had some sort of stricture on sexual conduct.. wanton sexuality has been frowned on by several cultures besides the Judeo-Christian...

    Al Sharpton...Joke or Serious

    Yeah, Sharpton is a good orator, and Don Quixote was an expert jouster. Both equally serious.

    Study: Abstinence Classes Don't Stop Sex

    That is ridiculous. We are not that animalistic, and haven't been since we stood up on two feet. Breeding wasn't the sole reason for our survival, it was the killer instict, opposible thumbs, and the intellect to develop tools. By implying otherwise, it reduces us to the level of not being...

    Study: Abstinence Classes Don't Stop Sex

    Stabbing yourself in the leg is a behavior too, but I can teach you a class that shows you how silly that is. People can be taught to not make sex the center point in their lives. They have been taught that for centuries. We are not animals, we do not have to rut when the feeling hits us.

    Study: Abstinence Classes Don't Stop Sex

    Of course they don't work. Going to an abstinance class in this day and age is like going to an AA meeting and then living in a beer factory. You can't just spend 45 minutes a day spewing platitudes at kids, you have to follow it up. You have to have some sort of support structure once involved...

    What should we do to convicted child molesters/rapist?

    Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine Where did you get your excerpt from? I'm having trouble finding those particular quotes.

    What should we do to convicted child molesters/rapist?

    Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine Most of those site a child under 12, and the language specifically says "A person over the age of 18" with regards to the topic .. with regards to non-consentual sex, it just says "person"

    Is using the American flag as a marketing tool a sign of respect?

    I would have had him written up under Article 134 of the UCMJ and court martialed him and then pissed on his shoes. That is the most irreverent and ridiculous story, I think I have ever heard. No one in the military will ever train someone that the flag is "just a symbol". You are REQUIRED to...

    Is using the American flag as a marketing tool a sign of respect?

    I think the level of marketing the flag has gotten totally disrespectful. I don't think it is appropriate to put the flag in t-shirts or boxers. A flag should be used as that.. a flag. You can have patriotic clothing in the red, white and blue without using the icon of the flag to promote it.

    What should we do to convicted child molesters/rapist?

    If you read the other laws that are referenced to, a "person" is defined as someone over the age of 18. So your analogy of two 15 yo's would not apply to that law.
