When in the history of the United States has the public enjoyed war? Didn't Washington have to hang people to stop desertion? Didn't Americans complain about fighting in WWI and about helping Britain and France and Poland in WWII prior to Pearl Harbor? Didn't Americans hate the Korean and Vietnam wars? Who are these people who think strength is defined as tolerance for casualties?

I was sitting outside the bar on a bench and two cops drove up because someone reported an intoxicated person outside. I was just sitting there but I was very drunk. I was just going to walk home but it was preety far. Could he have arrested me if I wasn't being a disturbance, I was just quietly sitting there? One was kind enough to give me a ride but he did take my license and wrote down the info. on it. He knew me because I worked at a gas station he frequented while on duty. Why'd he write down my info.? Should I worry about this? Or is this normal protocal? I'm glad he didn't arrest me becuase it is so wrong if someone isn't making a disturbance and is of legal age and WAS NOT DRIVING.

This stems from a story on the news tonight about a pedofile that admitted before and during his release that he WILL reoffend, yet the community aren't informed!? Are we violating these violators rights? They probably should have thought of that before taking all those children's rights away..

Keep in mind that a ban on alcohol has been tried, and with disasterous results.

Also, keep in mind that most of these student deaths are from alcohol obtained illegaly. (Have to be over 21 to legally drink.)

Do we need tougher alcohol control? Should we ban it? (Even though the ban failed in the past?)

[Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said Tuesday that] demands in the U.S. Congress for a timeline to withdraw American troops from Iraq are constructive because they exert pressure on Iraq’s leaders to forge compromises.

“The debate in Congress … has been helpful in demonstrating to the Iraqis that American patience is limited,” Gates told Pentagon reporters traveling with him in Jordan. “The strong feelings expressed in the Congress about the timetable probably has had a positive impact … in terms of communicating to the Iraqis that this is not an open-ended commitment.”
Damn that democratic congress is doing the country some good afterall.

apply the logic of the movie Minority Report, everyone submits to neurological testing to see if they will commit a crime in the future, then we just eliminate or incarcerate them for the rest of their lives.

For those who want to change a constitutional amendment because you do not like it, should we just eliminate all of them and start from scratch, you know put it to a majority vote?

You cannot diddle with one amendment only, just because you do not like it, others may feel you should not be able to speak your mind publicly.

Now I know its possible for the government to filter and or listen to our phone calls so wouldn't it also be possible to moniter our AIM conversations as well. The police have told our school that it is possible that any threats made on AIM can be brought back for their records for like online threat evidence in court cases. My friend's mom is a cop too and she told him that the local police station filters our conversations for bad words to help aid in their crime fighting. Is this just paranoia or has the patriot act realy taken over all means of communication?

hardly the automatic weapons offered today. There is no reason handguns and assault weapons are legal, except lobbying from the NRA. Come on folks some gun control is logical and nrecessary.

Why does Turkish government keep on falsifying things? Turks cannot show any proof which would indicate it didnt happen.
Recognize the Armenian genocide in the US and in other countries and in Turkey too as well as time is ripe for public apology from the Turkish government.

Yes? Well then they should have no objection if we insist that in addition to criminal background checks, all gun purchasers and owners are also regularly assessed for mental instability and also to provide justification for wanting to own a weapon.

That'll leave the guns in the posession of the "good " gun owners that the rest of society can trust not to go misusing the guns, while the guns are taken away from dangerous individuals.

Or do the gun advocates have a better idea. (Giving everyone guns is not a better idea)

Many corporations now have Affirmative Action policies. Is it better to require a hiring of a diverse group of individuals or to hire someone based on their qualifications? Also if you agree or disagree, what are your supporting arguments?

would it have resulted in the killer murdering less people or would it have resulted in more dead bodies? What I think a lot of pro-gun posters don't realize is that it is VERY HARD to accurately shoot a firearm. I am a cop and notice at the range that most POLICE OFFICERS cannot even shoot that well. And it is a known fact that your shooting capabilities are even worse when under large ammounts of stress (like when someone else is shooting at you). Does anyone else see that a campus full of scared kids firing off guns would have been more harmful then helpful?
