I dug up an Article from 2006 to prove that you are wrong ! http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2006/0205-harder_rain_more_snow.htm

Of course it's a generalization and not appropriate for every situation. I just don't think the whole eye for an eye attitude will decrease violence. Why not look at places with less violence and see how they do things?

My bad, I thought some cops are now issued firearms.

Ironically that may actually be true. A cop gets shot because he is a threat to the life of the criminal. The criminal faces extreme punishment for shooting a cop, if that cop is not direct a danger to the criminal, the criminal may opt out of shooting the cop. That's why British police was not armed for so long and this was pretty successful.

The American way of life. You can hardly compare a western European city to an American one. In London there is economic aid, free health care and access to more or less good education for more or less anybody. You have: lots of Gangs, freely available guns and a wild west mentality. You think longer prison sentences bring down crime instead of reintegration, you think the death penalty deters murderers, you think a ridiculous war on drugs does anything but make drugs cheaper and more readily available and increases violence. It's the whole every man for himself attitude you right wingers proclaim. If you would indeed let the state help less fortunate people, give people from poor socio economic backgrounds a fair chance to start life. They may not join a gang, rob your house and murder you in the process. And sometimes people need a push in the right direction. If you continue your "It's not my responsibility, I don't want to pay for some Ghetto Whores Crack Kid" Then that crack kid will probably grow up and kill somebody along the line. edited to add: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/texas-judge-oks-ban-planned-parenthood-funding-article-1.1230888 I wonder if all those kids will grow up to be law abiding citizens.

LOL, Infowars. Thats some great entertainment.

Supply and demand, you think the supply will diminish because of laws passed because of dead children. You are now stockpiling for when demand increases. Supply may decrease and demand may increase due to new laws passed because of dead children, you are preparing for that, ergo if those laws are passed, demand increases, supply decreases and gun prices rise, you sell the guns you are making money off of dead children. It's capitalist opportunism, nothing to be ashamed of but call like it is.

I think this forum portrays a brilliant image of American society.

Really ? I wonder who all the preppers are? Just read this forum...

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is true worship." Romans 12:1

Because racism does not exist in real life...

Thats a great story. But if every cop would every homeless man a pair of boots, people would scream that the homeless do not deserve freebies.

Finally conservatives are doing something right... http://www.naturalnews.com/038047_TSA_molestation_airports.html

In a civilized country, they would indeed...

http://www.salon.com/2012/11/14/georgia_gopers_hold_meeting_over_obama_mind_control_conspiracy/ A little out of touch with reality ?

I was replying to your, we the conservatives are oh so much better at handling a catastrophe and your specific examples. I also think the Government did very well on preparing for Sandy. Even the German press was full of praise.

You are right, that is not really a good comparison. Where would you draw the line, though ?

Do you know what the political system without government is called ? It's called Anarchy. I suggest you go to northern Mali to see for yourself how that works out ? You do believe in the constitution, don't you. Now who do you think protects those rights ?

HaHa, you guys are cracking me up, with your oranges to apples comparisons. Wikipedia says the Boliver Peninsula has ~2500 Residents according to 2010 Census. Now how that can be compared to a major metropolitan area like New Jersey, New York or the entire east coast for that matter ? Take a look at population density in Texas and the East coast and use your common sense...

QuoteWe are talking about a hypothetical civil war. 75% of the Military votes Republican. Perhaps you have heard of the previous US Civil War. It happened quite a while ago and there were militaries on both sides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War Just like a liberal. Thinking the government will always be there to protect them. Quote Do you really want to compare the situation 150 years ago with today ? OK which states do you think want to secede from the union first? I suggest you read the article you just posted... Please... The highest form of armed protest that might happen are Montana Militia types bombing buildings with Kindergardens... And where do you think the government is going to go ? No really I would like hear a scenario in which the government is not there to protect me anymore... Please just a hypothetical one that does not include the apocalypse brought upon us by a black guy trying to give you health insurance.

They will be classified as domestic terrorists, can be detained indefinitely. The Police has military grade weaponry thanks to the Department of Defense Excess Property Program. So I wouldn't worry too much about rednecks with California legal AR-15s :-D

I think it was the repeal of Glass-Steagal more than anything else. Thanks Bill.

Please give an example of where Obama contradicts himself so obviously.

Then why do you insist upon people living like you think they should ?
