OK, the second amendment gives us the right to bear arms. However, as common sense would have it, some people are obviously not supposed to have guns. Mentally retarded people, the Virginia Tech guy, convicted felons. For the good of the entire nation, we have selective gun control procedures put into place against these people.

We remove the rights of a few people to protect the rights of everyone else. And, for the most part, everyone is happy.

But why can't we do that with other Amendments? OK, I agree with everyone having free speech, but can't we just take groups like NAMBLA and just shut them up? They do just about as much good as an insane person with a gun, so why not simply remove their right?

I remember playing outside when I was a kid. My parents would let me go all day and not even check on me. When I had my children, I let them do pretty much the same thing, but I kept a little closer eye on them because the world was just getting crazy. But my children are almost ready to have kids, and I fear that they won’t even be able to let their children out of the house, there are so many crazy people out there.

Can’t we say that all people have freedom of speech, EXCEPT CHILD MOLESTERS?
Can’t we say “no cruel and unusual punishment”, EXCEPT FOR CHILD MOLESTERS?

We put restrictions on the 2nd Amendment, why not the rest?

I just asked a question about gun ownership, and was told that we should outlaw cars and even hands...because those kill people too. So I was wondering, since cars and hands have purposes other than killing, is this really an appropriate analogy? And what purposes other than killing, do guns have?

with there now being a multitude of religions out there, do any have the right to try and influence Law?
For instance should the Catholic church have any influence over how the law is shapped regarding abortion?

Have you ever been dreaming and knew you were dreaming, but for some reason could not get out of it or wake yourself up?

I have (more than once) when I was younger, but not now. I would be completely conscious of the fact that I was sleeping, but I could not get my eyes to open themselves or get myself up. It was actually a little scary and weird… I of course, eventually got up after a couple of seconds or so though. You?

Screens are what makes a laptop delicate machine to handle. Do we have any laptop with projection screen, so we aim the laptop's projection lens towards a flat surface like wall etc. and work. This will make a laptop very handy machine to handle. I understand that a few rollover screens have been developed. Are these available for laptops also ? If not available already, any development taking place in this respect ?

Doesn't it seem silly that schools are getting renovated, yet students are still reading the same textbooks their parents used when they were in school?

I ask you, what should come first in priority? because sometimes both cannot be taken cared of at the same time, I think public schools have made that obvious.

what are your thoughts?

My husband was injured on the job on March 19 of this year. He fell approx. 10 feet off a ladder, and landed miraculously on his feet. Unfortunately he landed on one foot, on pointy big rocks, and severely bruised his heel. He's been off work now for 3 months, was in a "boot" for almost the entire time, went to a podiatrist every two weeks, and went through physical therapy. The doctor only gave him a 2% rating, and the insurance company is only offering him $1,000 even though he was only paid 2/3 of his pay during his time off. He has lost at least $150 a week being off work. We were trying not to hire an attorney because we didn't want to drag this out. Does anyone know what a reasonable settlement offer would be? Help please, the bills are stacking up!!!

Kellogg Co. avoided a lawsuit by agreeing to cut calories, sodium, fats, and sugars from their cereals and stop targeting their advertising at children.

Does the blame lie with Kellogg and other breakfast and junk food manufacturers? Did Kellogg Co. take the right steps, or should they have gone to trial?
