His quote should have been: "You think the RNC could get this many people of character and competance into a single room? Maybe if they left it empty!!" Oy vey, what a fucknut. And how many people thought he should've been the Dem's candidate?

...then the forgetful man pissed into the wind... "It's all coming back to me now!!" The UCB paper would probably know something "billvon-ish" that I didn't (gray water stuff), while the Houston paper would probably know something "AggieDave-ish" that I didn't (wildlife migration and the like). And thus do people learn why I get my news online from a dozen papers and don't waste my time reading anything in newsprint. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Australian police have seized an estimated 40,000 formerly legal firearms from residents of New South Wales, and in the process shut down several companies providing security services. According to an Australian national newspaper, police were either not satisfied that the firearms were being kept securely or decided that possession "was not necessarily further warranted." http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,12208288-1702,00.html witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Humph. I should have known better than to believe something involving guns in the NYT. General rule of thumb: reporters write more and know less about guns than they do about skydving. Second general rule: the bigger the city the paper covers, the less they're likely to know about guns. example: the Podunk Times-Courier-Journal-Dispatch etc. knows a hell of a lot more about guns than the New York Times.

TO add to what John said, sometimes you have to remember that domestic abuse falls under the very FUBAR name of "violent misdemeanors." Also, in more and more places, any kind of violence in the home is a "shall arrest" event for law enforcement. That means one or both parties are going to jail, no questions asked or answered. This leads to drastically higher "domestic abuse" rates, even though nothing new is happening. It also leads to more and more people losing their rights, even when it isn't warranted. Giving judges the power to review case by case appeals is the best way to handle to possibility of over-done punishments. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Actually, we had great fun on just that topic in my forensics (criminalistics, not debate) class in highschool. We took some of the "scientific" tenets of various religions and had to make the case for or against based solely on the available evidence. It wasn't the best exercise for the class since more of the "evidence" was texts, rather than lombard-type evidence, but it was great for learning/practicing the proper mindset. All the sciences, pulling bits and pieces together, accoutning for conflicting samples, and so on. That was a fun week. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

My understanding is that the second was intended to cover military arms of the "average" infantry soldier. Today, at the very least, that would mean M16s and M4s. Yes, I believe the second amendment applies to select fire and full auto firearms. Obviously, this also precludes any kind of magazine ban, as soldiers use 30 rounds mags in their rifles. It also should prevent any kind of ban on semi-automatic handguns, including Glocks, 1911s, and Berettas. The argument could be made, though it may be a bit more tenuous, that the second should cover MP5s and SAWs as well. of course, then there's the political reality of today... witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

If he meant eastern europe, that case is so easy to make that I won't bother to unless someone disputes it. (and Russia is backsliding more and more as well) If he actually meant western europe, or old europe, the what he said is true to a point. I have noticed more and more, when I was there and in your local press, that "freedom of speech" is becoming more and more "freedom to say anything as long as it won't offend an action group." Everytime you tell Nazis they can't march, that is not freedom of political expression. Everytime a book with negative tones about muslims is censored for supposed "hate speech," that is not freedom of the press. Freedom means you have to let the idiots have their voice just like the rest of us. As much as I don't look forward to the next KKK march in NYC, I can't legally stop them, and I wouldn't want the power to do so. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Creationsim is at least related to science and biology (no matter how whacked out you think it is, that is the umbrella it would fall under). However, I fail to see any relationship whatsoever between civics/social engineering and learning algebra. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Which article is that? Some of the earlier articles said that, then they switched to "assault-type rifle," whatever the hell that is, and that seems to be the line. Hell, one article called it an "assault type rifle," then an "assault rifle," and finally an "automatic machine gun." Remember, the press knows less about guns than they do about skydiving. http://www.syracuse.com/news/poststandard/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1105091841258341.xml witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Remember John, according to some people* think anyone who doesn't revile guns, anyone who holds guns other than in a press conference denouncing them, is obsessed, aka a "gun nut." * - not necessarily the person you're responding to witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

The line between science and "social studies" (or whatever they call it now) has always had a few fuzzy edges. Math, however, should not be stressing PC-ism over Math. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Don't forget that most of these municipalities spend a king's ransom on medical expenses connected to gunshot wounds Then sue the shooters. Actually, the basis for these suits is the biggest load of legal mumbo-jumbo voodoo that I have ever seen. One day they might finally understand that the chain of responsibility is broken by a criminal act. There's one point where we are in complete agreement. They shouldn't feel anymore responsible than GM does when a Chevy is used as a getaway car. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I bet he's against the Secret Service sealing windows over parade routes and appearance sites, too. Hell, with that attitude, he might just be against the entire protective detail section of the Secret Service since it costs money and is thus a burden on his business. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Wow, this may be a Speakers Corner beer event: an honest discussion on the second amendment and guns in America. OK, here's what I have concluded in all my reading and research. First, according to both original intent and current US law, "the militia" is the entire population. Specifically today, the official definition of the unorganized militia states that is it comprised of all able bodied males aged 18 to 45. Second, according to Miller and Lewis, only arms suited to a military purpose are protected. So a 28 inch double barrel duck gun is not covered by the second amendment, but bolt actions and other military weapons are covered. (this leads one to wonder if a ban on burst and full-auto rifles is constitutional, since that is what the average infantry soldier uses in today's army) Finally, as much as I'd wish otherwise, concealed carry is not protected by the second amendment. It says "keep and bear arms." Keep is fairly simple, it means you can own them/ have them/ keep them. The tirckier part is "to bear." To me this means some sort of carry is protected, but not necessarily concealed, and not universal. Yes, it says "shall not be infringed," but that doesn't mean there can be no regulation whatsoever. Afterall, ther first says "congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech," but that doesn't mean no speech can be censored. Look at yelling fire, inciting violence, etc. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

The Nazis forced people they considered different wear ID badges. You want to force people you consider different wear ID badges. See any similarities there? Or are you above reproach because you "know you're right?" (hint: Nazis "knew they were right" too) I still wonder what makes people think "left" big government would be better than "right" beg government. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
