Shortly after my father retired, we were discussing a new .45 automatic I had bought and the holster I wanted for it. After some discussion, he met me at the gate to my workplace the next morning. I handed the gun over to him. The next morning, he met me again and handed me the gun with a custom holster he had made me. I was really enjoying his retirement at that point. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

OK - define the minimum to achieve that. And get EVERYONE to agree with your definition (enforce all your criteria without violating people's rights to choose for themselves how to live their lives) I'll start - IMHO, preventative care starts with fitness and nutrition. Fitness = exercise. Health = how we eat. Let's give everyone a gym membership and create an eating plan for everyone. Force them to workout and eat like I think they must. good luck Prevention IS better. That's why everyone's diet will be prescribed for them. Lean meats and veggies. No breads, pastas, potatoes, rices, fried food, sauces, etc. And mandatory exercise for everyone. Heart rates at 80-90% of max for at least thirty minutes five times per week. Monitors will arrive in the mail coded to your health account. Failure to comply will result in an additional 'tax'. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Ah, but you have to admit it's good advice during a jump. :-) I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Don't forget sloth. With more people getting the majority of their exercise from pushing buttons, leaps of inference, and political bashing, we need a national (mandatory) exercise program. Remember, folks. When you give up responsibility, you give up control. If the government has to pay for your healthcare, they get to tell you how to care for your health.

Old joke. Man asks a woman to have sex with him for a million dollars. She readily agrees. He then asks if she'll do it for fifty dollars. She says, "What do you think I am, a whore?" He says, "We've established what you are. We're just haggling over price." I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Helpful. But you really need an electronic thumb and a babelfish to make it a complete package. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

I wouldn't take Pain Killer Abuser and I'm A Radio Star's word that day was light and night was dark. Are you kidding? Get a legit source or don't bother. His credibility and motivations were exposed long ago. He makes a living by trashing, and has staff to assist him in doing so. I don't listen to the guy and am not a fan. But...if you are going to exclude everyone with a murky past, hidden agendas, an axe to grind, money to be made...what's left? Mass media?

Masterful play on Iran's part. Iran goes into negotiations with an embattled US political party. Kerry needs something he can claim as a 'win'. What he gets is exactly what the Iranians offered two years ago. Iran - promises to let inspectors see stuff. History tells us the inspectors will get to see exactly what Iran wants them to see. (ephemeral) IC - gives sanctions relief for six months. (concrete) In six months, Iran can claim they were completely transparent; the sanctions were always illegal; sanctions should be completely repealed. Please bookmark this post and check it in six months. I'm not always right, but these guys are pretty predictable from where I sit.

Well...you fit well with a certain sub-section of this group. I didn't respond to your post when you wanted, so you posted a snide remark. A more logical person would have waited to confirm I even saw your post. But logic doesn't often prevail around here. It is now Monday and I have read your post. You say that voter fraud and violence do not compare. I didn't compare voter fraud and violence. I compared an infringement on basic rights and an infringement on basic rights. However, I'll go a bit further. You say two other posters are right, but you give no argument for why they are right other than you agree. Again, a basic lack of logic or even facts. Further, I didn't suggest anything about violence. You could see my remarks referencing firearms violence, but you have to come at it from your point of view exclusively to do so. Even then, you expanded beyond firearms violence to violence in general. A very emotional attempt to take the argument well past its original bounds. Further, you can not logically compare the effects of voter fraud and violence of any nature. Violence, by its nature, leaves evidence. Law enforcement is well equipped to collect and catalgo this evidence. Fraud, by its very nature, leaves little evidence. Voter fraud is particularly good at leaving no evidence. So, a direct comparison is not possible. So, you berate me for not seeing your post; you expand the argument to tangential effects of attacking my rights; you expand the effects further still for emotional impact; and you compare two things that are not comparable with facts. Good job? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Made me smile. Reasonable restrictions on rights are reasonable restrictions on rights. I fully agree that the word 'reasonable' is the crux of the problem. However, some will argue that there should be none on voting rights, but many on second amendment rights. That cannot be the case. Gun violence is a problem. Gun violence and second amendment rights, however, are not always linked. They are only clearly linked when you jump to the absolute of eliminating all firearms rights. That is clearly not reasonable. Asking someone to identify themselves before they vote is clearly quite reasonable. My point was that some here seem to want no restrictions on voting and many, or even absolute restrictions on firearms rights. Those two positions cannot be reconciled. There is always middle ground.

Hey girls, want a pink check? OMG... PIN PIN PIN PIN PIN Got me all excited for nothing.... I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Sorry. I didn't mean to gloss over your point. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Both parties filibuster when they are in the minority. Both parties scream for an 'up or down' vote when they are in the majority. Both parties are hypocrits. Do any of you ever tire of letting a party make up your mind for you? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

No sympathy here. I woke up this morning with a cat sitting on my chest, staring me down, purring at me. The dog had inserted his muzzle under my hand and kept flipping it onto his head. I prefer the alarm. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Sometimes, you folks make me feel like Spock walking through a world of Oprahs. The emotional arguments are rampant. The logic has long since evaporated. Arguing which party is more moral is like arguing which whore is most virginal. Keeping a legitimate voter from voting is wrong. Casting a false vote cancels the vote of a legitimate voter and is equally wrong. Simple, reasonable checks to confirm vote authenticity would help both problems. If you have a problem with reasonable checks on voting rights, please don't ever post anything about reasonable restrictions on second amendment rights. Any purge of voter roles should happen immediately after an election to make sure there is time to get things straight before the next election. A purge before an election is automatically suspect and fraught with peril. Arguing that any atttempts to prevent illegal votes is wrong suggests that you favor voter fraud. There is a middle ground.

Andy - You are correct. I think anyone who wants to have a child should consider an adoption as first option. I think we should eliminate barriers to single parents vice couples. Let's face it, couples aren't all that stable in today's world anyhow. Darius - You are not an ass. Many people have a strong drive to perpetuate their genes over someone else's. For some reason, I don't have that particular trait. So, this plan makes more sense to me than it might to others. I recognize, however, Nataly's point that many (as Nataly says) want the child to be 'theirs' from the beginning. I don't see anything wrong with that at all. Still...if you are down to the sperm donor option...adoption might make things easier. It should at least be explored. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Just donated another specimen last week. Government employees are supposed to be tested on a random basis. I doubt legislators participate. They're special. I'm not in favor of testing welfare recipients. Just another expense. I would much rather make drugs legal, tax them, and save all that money we throw away on 'enforcement'. Now, making them do a little work for the check...I'm for it. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

I'm not dumping on anyone who wants to create a child. It just seems that if you are at the point of looking for a sperm donor, you've given up the idea of creating a child with your life-long companion. If you want a child, there are children that want a parent. Seems pretty straight forward to me. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

I jump for the freefall time and really don't care as much for canopy time. So, I probably would have told you that you owed me another lift ticket. Other than that, I don't think I would let it bother me. I see someone pointed out the possibility of getting blown away from the DZ. I hope you took the winds into consideration. They would have to be pretty rough to actually do this. Otherwise, I can't think of any real dangers. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Gerrymandering has no impact on the EC and the Presidential election. Votes are collated at the state level. If a state does elect to assign EC votes by district (two tiny states do, I believe), then it could, but at the moment it's not really in play. I know. It's just a related issue that also thwarts majority rule. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaujolais_nouveau The French community in my office bring in the new pressing of the grape from the Beaujolais region today along with some local cheeses and bread. It's a very strange assignment where I drink on duty in the office. The French are quick to point out that they do not consider this 'wine' because it has only been fermenting a few months.
