  1. Does it bother anyone else that "Elementary Education" is second from the bottom? Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  2. He has stated numerous times that ALL Muslims are evil, so I guess he can kill all he wants. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  3. FIFY Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  4. Full story: KSL.com I own guns and have no problem with gun ownership, but couldn't it also be argued that the only reason the 2 people are injured instead of a lot more than 2 being injured/dead because he had a knife not a gun? Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  5. So he should read it rather than guess? But, you will just go ahead and guess? Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

    Downton Abbey

    Let me know when you finish and we can discuss. It gets really good! Although it was kind of embarrassing when we realized after watching both seasons the second time through that it was nothing more than a glorified British version of “Days of our lives”.

    I have the season 2 disks if you want them. Laura and I have seen each one a half a dozen times or so already anyway. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  8. It is also funny how this religion chooses to build their stuff is on or near sites where they have just perpetrated a major coup. (in their minds) I guess when states went to shall issue the weapons companies build stores to thumb their noses at the gun-o-phobes. Really, sir, you could do better Yeah Bill, I can't believe you could even make a statement like that.....wooosh :) Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  9. And that right there is really the point. I couldn't agree more that the government should get out of the marriage business altogether and only recognize civil unions. I would fully support making that change. I don't see that happening anytime soon and until it does then everyone needs to be treated equally. To say one classification is allowed the legal recognition and another is not is nothing more than discrimination. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  10. Sorry, I should have added in the "I don't care" option. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

  12. That is what happens when the left goes too far And there you go proving the point that he was making. As long as people like you refuse to see that both sides are at fault then we can't begin to move in any direction that would get us out of the mess that we are in. But you just go right ahead and keep thinking that it is the fault of everyone else and you and your ilk have no part in causing this situation. That will surely help fix the problems.

    Unless you are Jewish. In the Jewish religion, a fetus isn't considered viable until it graduates from medical school. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  14. I think what she is saying (Wendy forgive me if I am wrong) and what I would agree with is the fact that just because she personally would think that some people don't deserve to live, that doesn't me she thinks the government or legal system should be killing people. You can say the same for free speech. There are some people who's words make my blood boil and I would love nothing more than to have the law shut them up, but I don't think the government should be restricting speech so I bite my tongue and let them say what they will say. In the case of capital punishment there is just too much of a chance for failure within the system to risk executing someone. That doesn't mean they should be set free, it just means that we shouldn't be in the business of killing people. It also doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to see that person killed, it just means that I don't think that a civilized society should execute people. Lock them up sure but at least if we find out that they were wrongly convicted we can let them out. Killing em, well, unless they were only mostly dead, you just can't reverse that.

  15. http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/09/the-palestinians-wont-get-a-state-from-the-un/245253/#.TngYsW1nsVB.facebook Thought this was interesting. It talks about how the Palestinians keep shooting themselves in the foot. It gets into why their approaching the UN to get recognition as a state is not going to work, and how it is hurting their chances of moving forward.

  16. Or is it just that they can get away with it in those places and they can't here. Just because they don't do it here doesn't mean that they wouldn't if they could. The past has shown that when given the chance they will take it. They just don't get the chance here in the US like they do elsewhere. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  17. Because it's an easy cop out for lazy people. When posing the questions about what we are doing here, instead of saying something like this: "I don't know yet but if I study it using the scientific method maybe someday I will" The lazy say: "It's too complicated to understand so it must be some mythical being that is up there making it happen".

  18. Full story: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/07/31/2340997/state-lawmakers-cities-cant-ban.html This is called "preemption", whereby the state reserves the right to regulate guns, and prohibits local governments from doing so. Previously, there were no punishment provisions, so that local municipalities could violate the preemption law at will. And that created a patchwork quilt set of laws, equivalent to speed traps for driving offenses, that ensnared law-abiding citizens in trouble, for simply setting foot someplace where they didn't know that guns were prohibited. This new law puts enforcement teeth into the state preemption, and will keep innocent citizens from getting into trouble because of laws which vary from place to place within their daily travels. I am not trying to start a fight here. I have a legitimate question. It seems to me that that same people who support this are opposed to the feds telling the states what they can do as far as gun laws go. So it is ok for the state of FL to tell the cities what they are allowed to do, but it is not ok for the federal govt to tell the states what they can do? I don't understand the logic. How is it any different? Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  19. I have told lies, sometimes it was right sometimes it was wrong. In what way does the fact that it is right or wrong have to do with god or what happens when I die? I understand what you are getting at but it makes no sense. Are you trying to say in a silly roundabout way that without belief in god there are no morals or no right/wrong?

  20. I don't think you will find many that will deny that it has become that. There are just many that feel that it goes against the principles that this country was actually founded on and it disgusts us to see the fanatics trying to push us further and further towards a "christian taliban" running the country.

  21. I don't see him saying that at all. It is torture either way so I guess you can say that yes we do torture our own. We are doing it to teach them how to resist it when bad people do it to them. There is also the fact that they volunteer for that position in special ops and that is part of the training. They have the option to drop out if they don't like it. The people that we are doing it to for real didn't make that choice and don't have that option. I also know that both the military (certain branches) and other organizations often require that before someone is allowed to carry pepper spray they must submit to being sprayed with it. That is a requirement for the job that they chose (albeit a dumb one in my book). It doesn't mean that the military can walk around and spray anyone they want with pepper spray on a whim.

  22. So if they claim to be Christian and they do good things then they are Christian, but if they do bad things then they are not really Christian. I only find this funny because there are more than a few here that would say the exact opposite if you replaced Christian with Muslim. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  23. How is that any different from something like this http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/01/29/statues.htm Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
  24. How is reposting your own words a personal attack. If you think that is a personal attack it explains a lot about why you think everyone is out to get you. Ok, maybe not everyone, just muslims, liberals and everyone else that you don't like. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
