I want to know what they think about the various issues that arise on this planet daily and where they think the humanoid is going .
No you don't. You want platitudes, props and like minded thoughts that support your myopic world view.

Ya know....thinking stuff. Idea stuff.
You don't like ideas. You like like minded opinions.

No preconception, or imagination, I find most of your posts to be well thought out and fairly sterile in nature. The one I quoted, as well as a few others as of late, seem emotionally charged.

Just an observation.

You're confusing emotion for mockery. There isn't much difference between my mockery of the war on Christmas crowd and the millenarian disaster fetishists, which I'm sure you've seen. Too bad there aren't any libertarians around here. That's when I really shine ;)

Why the War on people who celebrate Christmas. Seems somewhat well I will leave it at that.

How in heck is one to know (or assume ) how one celebrates the holidays and IF one does. on a forum like this. Most of the time we have no idea what gender a member is. Furthermore.......on a personal level......I do NOT want to know too many personal details about anyone here. I want to know what they think about the various issues that arise on this planet daily and where they think the humanoid is going . Ya know....thinking stuff. Idea stuff. What makes the world and people tick stuff...

See post 44....substance.

I'll take your word for it, but the contempt that shines through, seems emotional to me.

I would otherwise agree, if there was no redeeming qualities in the former. Which the latter truly lacks.

do YOU KNOW and COMPREHEND what STICK to the TOPIC means

the title does not even say anything about the US. But the knee jerkers anti OB folks are out in rabid packs .The OB haters form a forum subculture and all it takes is a post that is contorversial.......to bring out the gnashing teeth.

Wow......shameful.



OFF TOPIC. try and concentrate..... People get KILLED in these incidents. what about the victims??

You are far too conceited. NO one here hates you. You are not worth the amount of energy required. Pity would be a more accurate word.

Good Lord!

Nobody "worships" guns.

The murder rate in the USA in 2010 was 4.8 per 100,000.
The murder rate worldwide in 2010 was 6.9 per 100,000.

The United States is a very peaceful and lawful place to live, all in all.

You don't have a clue.

Not sure that comparing the US stats with the entire world stats makes any point.

Might make more relavance to compare the US with an nation that has the closest common denominators.

Otherwise.......one could say that the murder rate world wide is less significant (considering the violent countries that are included ) than that of the US.

Now........ the point is not MURDER stats. the point is SHOOTING incidents.

Just saying.

So, murder victims are less dead if not killed by guns?

Your claim is the availibility of guns causes murder.

The facts belie this.

That is substance.......

Shooting reported at Chardon High School near Cleveland, Ohio, local law enforcement officer says.


Breaking news : CNN.

(there have been quite a few others recently as well).

"not shocking" as most have become innured to these "events" as passing news . Astonishing example of what the human mind can adapt to. Or just getting more jaded in current times??? at what point does this become the "norm" as opposed to the unusual??

Which odds are greater??? getting shot in the US by some nutter or being attacked by some "terrorist"???

Just askin'

Bill Maher is an idiot.

Nobody worships firearms.

People love guns in the same way they love books, or fast cars, or trainsets, or baseball memoribilia, or whatever else catches their fancy.

People do love freedom, and some give the US Bill of Rights the same respect given religious texts. That is a good thing.

Bill Maher should read it, with special attention to the Second Amendment, and in the company of an English teacher and a historian to tell him what it means.

Bill Maher's religion is stupidity.
