Have you taken a female friend, or family member to the range and introduced her to fireams handling and marksmanship?
If not...why???

Women are targeted by violent crime more often than men. Firearms are the great equalizer.

I have done this for dozens of women over the years. One thing they quickly realize is that it does not take great strength or athleticism. In fact, many instructors will tell you that women are better shooters than men. Firearms is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. And these skills just might save your life one day. I encourage them to apply for a concealed carry permit and to purchase a firearm of their own.

If you truly care about your loved ones, you would too

Do you think that people choose to not work and sit around all day and collect welfare? Aslo, do you think that food stamps are used to buy beer and drugs? Do you believe that women have multiple children and then all of those children go on welfare? Do you think that welfare is free or a loan? And lastly, for how long can you collect? Just trying to figure out the amount of actual knowledge people have on the subject

A little over a month ago I had a serious injury resulting in having 2 metal plates put in my face. It was an assault that was a direct result of something that happened from my work. I had 4 weeks off for the surgery and recovery and went back to work on the 5th of July.

One day at work I had to leave to go to the hospital to get another CT scan done and had the paperwork to show that I was there. Another night when work was slow, I asked if I could leave, having not been feeling well from my pain medicine.

This past Monday night, another manager asked if I wanted to leave because it was slow. She had no idea if I wasnt feeling well. Just wanted to send me home if I wanted to go. I decided sure since it was my first day without pain medicine and was once again feeling crappy.

Today I have to go in to speak to my big boss. I have a strong feeling she is going to demote me because of time missed.

Can she legally do this and is there any recourse I can take if she does this?

I'm not trying to "score points" for either side. I'm just wondering what people think.

Is the subject matter of the lie what's important? Lying about your golf score, for example, versus lying about a stock fraud scheme that affects thousands?

Or is it the lengths one goes to lie? For instance, compare merely claiming to "forget" a conversation about the stock fraud, versus demonstrably falsifying one's golf scores at the club and asking several of your golf buddies to lie for you. (Assume, for argument's sake, that there was a valid million dollar bet that was in court, and therefore the score was important.)

Seriously, which bothers you more?

I'm not sure I know the answer myself!

Thanks. :)

He got blamed for the bullet hole in the ceiling which the suicide attempter put there in the struggle. The guy also said my brother came in with a gun and tried to kill him. My brother took the guns away and held them for a day. The guy then came and moved the guns to another man's home. My brother is being charged with removal of evidence from the crime scene. He might even be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Point is, he's being blamed for something he didn't do. Is that justice?

It seems like over the past 10 years politicians seemed more concerned with filling their pockets with money, then the people who have been here from generation to generation. Will they ever get over their greed long enough to realize people need help here first?

My friends and i were parked on the side of a road smoking some pot. Constables got a call that our car was suspicious. They went and told us to get out of the car one by one. Then they Continued to search the car finding just a bit of marijuana left.

Could they have searched the car without our permission. It was in Harris County, Houston Texas.

Thank you.

I ask this question because according to Webster's dictionary Liberal means respectful of the ideas of others, and also favoring democratic reform and the use of governmental resources to effect social change. Isn't this what our forefathers envisioned for our nation?

The new signs that detect and post your speed and flash if you're speeding; do they collect the number of cars, speeders, non-speeders, time of day, etc?? Take pics?

I would think this would be very worthwhile info.

Here is a good start, on bringing us closer together, what say you?

Since people think we need to spend less on handouts to people (I am assuming they mean to people, and NOT corporations) and more on the military, I was just wondering how much more money the military would get, if we cut all of the poor children off of welfare...and while we are at it, let'e let the GOP have all of their way, and make abortion obsolete, that way our population goes up 25%...and we get rid of welfare, and spend it on the military. How does your country look now?

Have you? I have, and it sort of scares me. Because this what happened right before Iraq.

Iran consists mainly of one branch of Islam, and Saudi Arabia consists mainly of the other branch. Sunni and Shi'ite, I can't remember which at the moment. But it is pretty much common knowledge these two sects of Islam don't get along too well, atleast in recent years.

Why would Iran train members of the other sect? When down the road, they could turn on them? Now, I'm not saying that Iran couldn't be helping to train some of these people, but because of all the lies Bush and Cheney have told, it's hard to believe anything they say. Considering they also like to keep their sources to themselves as well.

As with the news link, why couldn't the fighters be getting better on their own? It only stands to reason that with practice comes better abilities....

My teen needs a clear and percise explanation explaining the beliefs and differences of both parties. Because my husband and I support one party, I am trying to give her information about both sides so she can choose which party is good for her. It would be wonderful if posters could explain WHY they are afflited with one party NOT why they hate the other party. Thanks guys!

I'm torn, I just found out that my unemployment claim was denied. There is no real reason for it. I worked at a company and witnessed unethical behavior going on, coworker not being productive, unethical (taking sales that weren't theirs) coming in late and consistent absences, this went on for months,I put my two weeks in because I had enough, an internal investigation was done on this person and it showed that they were in deed not being productive and doing the things listed, I was than offered another position and higher pay, I stayed thinking that things would change but nothing did my "new position" was still in the same area and it seemed as if I was doing the work for this unethical coworker entering orders and stuff for them,it got worse so I just up and left, this time not putting my two weeks in, i was TOLD there would be changes and this person would be gone. After a few weeks I wrote a letter to the president and this person was fired, I think that qualifies for unemp.
