You only consider it "stupid" because the comparison doesn't go in your favor. Motor vehicles are used to kill three times as many people as guns, without even trying. ? Incorrect. They are used to transport people. Very few are used to kill people. Traffic deaths are an unfortunate by product but not a USE of motor vehicles. Unlike guns, which ARE used to kill people more than any other means. Anyhow, I'd be quite happy if the same regulations that apply to motor vehicles were applied to guns. So would I. License and registration only required when used on public property. Classes in operation offered in public schools. No waiting period. If you have the money, you can take it home with you. Of course, I would want background checks for either. There are several more points to add, but I think you get my drift. I consider any death caused by a driver under the influence of any drug to be, at the minimum, negligent homicide. Those deaths far surpass the number of deaths by bullet.

That is something you and President Bush both agree on. I seriously doubt the contributions were a factor in his getting a pardon in the first place. The relatively small donations are hardly worth the public uproar that even Bush would surely expect would follow. I'm not a big Bush supporter by any means, but I think this time he is actually telling the truth.

What law would you propose that would have stopped this man from doing what he did? for example, the ones that are in place in countries with 10-20 times less gun homicides (most of Europe) Be more specific, please. In particular, I am asking for a law...ANY law...that he would not have be willing to break or circumvent. Since this man was willing to massacre an entire house of people, it is doubtful any such law could be written.

Those few words mean a lot. The concept of time is an illusion. Time is not constant, therefore it is possible or even probable that there was no "time" until after the big bang. If there was no "time" then there would be no "before". In any case, we're pretty sure the universe did not come from nothing, that there was something. Just what that something is we are not yet quite sure. But there are people much better educated in the subject working on that as we speak.

Evolution proceeds in a predictable direction. When forces combine to produce a predictable specialized outcome, there must be purposeful manipulation of those forces. Otherwise all you would get would be a system with increasing entropy. Evolution proceeds in a predictable manner as long as the environment present and future is known. We can no more predict what evolutionary changes will occur during the next one million years than we can predict what the environment will be like. When the forces of nature combine to produce a species that is specially adapted to fill a niche, it is the result of natures trial and error process. Those that can survive in that niche reproduce and create more specimens with it's unique traits that allow it to rise above the other similar, but different, specimens. Each succeeding generation is a tad more suitable for that niche. As long as the environment changes slowly enough, the species will evolve and change with it. The idea that there is some kind of manipulation behind it is absurd. Forces combine to produce lightning, which has a predictable and specialized outcome, yet I doubt many people today would seriously consider there to be any "purposeful manipulation" behind it.

Evolution just happens. The only time there is purpose involved is when man has stepped in with his "selective breeding" to optimize plants and animals for his benefit. Evolution just happens. Evolution is not the survival of the fittest, as is commonly believed, but the survival of the most capable to reproduce in a given environment. All without any purpose whatsoever. Evolution just happens. There is no purpose behind it.

High strength structural steel such as used in the WTC melts at around 2500 F. This varies by composition. These steels also start to lose strength before 575 F, and by the time they reach 750 things are going south pretty quick. At 1000 F they have lost 40%-50% of their room temperature tensile strength. These temps are easily reached in a high rise fire, especially one where large quantities of an accelerant were used to initiate the fire.

When someone chooses to take us to an optional war based on their watching John Wayne movies and being war hawks who dig war.. I SURE AS HELL believe it has a bearing.. want to bet Obama does not do that??? This particular group of turd blossoms.. have chosen to serve THEMSELVES allof their lives.. and a few you could call FRIENDS of the administration more than they have EVER served the American people. I guess it does not matter to you that several thousand of your countrymen paid the ultimate price for a bogus war... to improve the economics of a very few So, since you served in the military, your opinion is the only one that matters? You're the only one who can decide on matters of State and foreign relations?

ok how do you do the same problem with 8 cubes? little harder anyways Why not just put them on two at a time (one on each side)...it will either balance or be light on one side, thus, the last cube added is the light one. What are the only two days of the year when no major sporting games are played (NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL)? Eight cubes: Weigh any three against any three. If one side is lighter, proceed the same as with six cubes since the light one is among the six being weighed. If both sets of three are equal weight, then just weigh the last two. One of them is the light one. No major sporting games played the day before and the day after the MLB All-Star game, and the day after Thanksgiving. That makes three days each year.

There is no doubt that he was yet another nutter with a Santa Suit. There is no doubt that he was yet another nutter with a homemade incendiary device. There is no doubt that he was yet another nutter wiht a car bomb. There is no doubt that he was yet another nutter who was also an usher at church. There is no doubt that he is yet another nutter with no police record. There is no doubt that he was yet another nutter with the name "Bruce." There is no doubt that he was yet another nutter who offed himself. There is no doubt that he was yet another nutter who had gone through a divorce. Yep. Take the gun out of the equation, and no tragedy occurs. What was the factor in common with, what, 11,000+ other homicides last year. "Bruce"? No. "Usher"? No. "Santa Suit"? No. Gee, this is HARD!

Interesting read, though I also question the validity but for different reasons. Were those questioned given a list of people to choose from? Or were they allowed to name any person they wished? How were the questions phrased? I hesitate to put any faith in a poll that shows Bush as being more admired than the Pope (or anyone else for that matter), as well as Hillary at the top 13 out of the last 16 years. Conversely, I don't find it much of a surprise to see Obama leading the list. That is the one point I feel lends any credibility to the poll.

New evidence shows that the collapse was caused by Australia testing a nuclear device in the waters off their western coast. The earth jumped five meters towards New York, causing the towers to come down. Sorry, but the evidence is top secret and cannot be displayed here. You'll just have to take my word for it.

Demo isn't your forte either, is it? Comparing the WTC to a house attic is abso-fucking-lutely LUDICROUS. Again, you're talking MILES of cable and hundreds of pounds of charges and 'thermate' in plain view of the occupants - hardly something that is going to be overlooked, especially as it would take WEEKS to set up. Not to mention how any pre-placed charges and associated wiring could survive the initial trauma of the plane crash plus the fire that raged where the charges were supposedly placed.

Calculus made my life miserable for a while. After that it came in handy on occasion. And I dearly LOVE those little fig cookies he gave us!

An FFL seller must have the transferee fill out a Form 4473 and run a background check before concluding the sale. A non-FFL seller (private individual) must negotiate a price, receive the cash and hand over the weapon to the buyer (no Form 4473 or background check required). Agreed. These requirements apply regardless of where the face-to-face transaction takes place. Since some shows put extra requirements inplace it can be, if anything, more difficult to transfer between private parties at a show than outside.

Ask 99.9% of the population what a private transaction between two people is and my guess is that very few will describe a person with a large number of objects for sale in a very public venue attended by thousands of people. The term "private transaction" is being used fairly liberally by those in favor of gun shows. Perception is moot. If the seller is a licensed dealer and is selling from hi/her stock, then a background check is mandatory. If the person is selling from their own private collection then a check is not mandatory. The law is very clear on this with no wiggle room. It makes no difference if the person is selling from a collection of one gun or 1000 guns. 99.9% of the population feel it is ok to drive 75 in a 70 mph zone. I would agree, but it is still illegal. I just want someone to point out where this so-called loophole is. What can a seller or buyer do at a gun show that they can't do 50 feet away off the property?
