  2. And how many times did he mentioned his idea of America's #1 geopolitical enemy during tonight's debate on foreign policy?
  3. Romney had previously said he would not give any date, He said he would leave it up to the military. Perhaps you mean he wouldn't provide a precise year.
  4. Two weeks ago Romney says the President is wrong for setting an exit date for Afghanistan, tonight he says 2014 is when we should exit. Two months ago he claims that Russia is the greatest threat to the US, did he even mention Russia tonight? On the other hand, Romney did agree with most of Obama's foreign policy.
  5. I found this study, I think it bolsters both of our arguments a bit, but the bottom line is that out of all of the bad things that can happen to children, attempted or actual abductions is one of the very least likely to happen. http://www.unh.edu/ccrc/pdf/MC4.pdf
  6. You can call bullshit all day long, facts are facts and I'm not the one that made them. I work with sick and injured children and I have seen plenty brutalized and beaten by their own family, but I have yet to see a child beaten by a stranger. http://www.justice.gov/oig/reports/FBI/a0908/chapter3.htm So how do justify the differences between the figures I quoted, which also come from an fbi site, with the figures you quote? It would be helpful if you provided a link to your source. From your post. 40 children (up to the age of 18) are abducted and murdered by strangers a year. Almost 10 times more children (under the age of 15) are killed by accidental firearm deaths per year. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/01/13/us/accidental-shootings-of-children-raising-concern.html I own guns, I have my ammo locked in a box and a trigger lock on my rifle and shotgun. Since the odds are much greater that a child will accidently shoot and kill themselves with my gun, as opposed to me needing it to defend myself, I keep them locked.

  8. It is a good story, but the only reason it is a story is do to the rarity of a stranger abducting and or murdering a child. Stories about children shooting and killing other children is all to common, and not very news worthy these days.
  9. Of course I'm glad the girl is alive, but your argument is based on emotion. Damn, my comments have been short enough thus far--the least you could do is read them before replying. What part of saying that parents are capable of teaching and kids are capable of learning proper handling of firearms is emotional? Even before I was 12 I knew where my dad kept the 1911 and I knew how to use it. You know what happened? Nothing. So whose argument gets shot to shit just by that example? Not mine. I think the greater good is that no child should ever be left alone with a loaded gun. Viva la difference.
  10. He wasn't that smart. Matthew 16:28, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." He did say that he would return before some of his followers had died, now the believers to have to get more creative to explain the contradictions away.
  11. I think a FEMA re-education camp would be cheaper.
  12. Depends on the kid and depends on the parent. What would you have liked to see happen in this case? Of course I'm glad the girl is alive, but your argument is based on emotion. Its kind of like saying if an unrestrained child survives a high speed ejection in a MVA, since I favor mandatory seat belt laws,I would rather have seen the child die being buckled in. Never mind that for probably every instance of a child shooting an intruder, 100 left alone with guns will accidently shoot their siblings, parents, and friends.
  13. It's just common sense that loaded weapons should be made available to children who are left unsupervised by their parents.
  14. Leaving Grand Forks ND last year for San Jose, Delta ask if I would mine missing my flight (overbooked) and taking a cab to Fargo, on them (70 miles away) and then catching a flight that would end up in San Jose 20 minutes sooner than my scheduled flight, for a $400 voucher. I was happy.
  15. Maybe we get Bush 44 maybe we don't, either way the fact is that life will be way more entertaining with Romney in the white house, but life will go on. What has always fascinated me is why you folks insist that all Obama supporters look upon him as a messiah, admire him, yes, the second coming? get real. The fact of the matter is that you really don't like Romeny, you just loath Obama so much you could rationalize anyone for president,, but at least be honest with yourself.
  16. You over estimate the attention span of the average Republican, but the good news is that there is now a medical explanation that explains Mitt's condition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTAUfg4HeAo
  17. Yea... Bush and the economy, only an idiot would be impressed with where he left us in 2008.
  18. What did Joseph Goebbels say about about repeating the same lie over and over? http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2012/may/25/lots-heat-and-some-light-obamas-spending/
  19. Yes. That's why the ACA didn't pass. Sometimes it's really difficult to stop laughing at the pathetic defense of the "I'm Gonna" President. Yup, he aint done shit.
  20. No evidence? That was settled long ago. Or perhaps you consider the CDC just another Government agency trying to poison you "precious bodily fluids" http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv-vaccine-young-women.htm You're moving the goal posts again, and missing the point. What's new? Your ABC link did not support your statement. It only talked about parental resistance. As for efficacy, we know that the vaccines only block out some of the HPV types out there, and 30% of the cancers we see are from those missing types. Given how readily it is transmitted, it's not a given that blocking out the 70% will change the bottom line of how many women get cancer. It seems logical that it would, but a person that doesn't eat beef or pork, but instead eats lamb 3 times a day can still develop heart disease. And a person eating only lamb, but taking statins, will on average, have less heart disease than a person who does not take statins. It's a question that can and should be asked, particularly in light of the recent discussion on the apparent reduced effectiveness of the whoop cough vaccine. The vast majority of the world's health organizations agree that the HPV vaccine saves lives. The pertussis vaccine has saved millions of lives, 10,000 a year in the US. The vaccine was reformulated and may need another booster after the age of 6, or it may just be that all the un-vaccinated kids depleted the herd immunity that was built during the Thimerosal causes autism fraud. It's probably a combination of both. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8yUSV4oqoU&feature=related

  22. I've been living on my own, with zero help from my parents, since the day I turned 34.
