Interestingly enough, Chicago has some of the strongest firearms laws around. So, how can there be so many gun murders,,since anti-gun laws prevent them?

"...elected by American citizens..."

Well, just in places that check IDs and only let citizens vote. Some places allow anyone to vote, non-citizens, the dead...

When someone commits a crime and says it was "in the name of Christianity," Christians and Christian clergy come out in force to comdemn the act itself and the attribution to the Christian God. They say how some act (abortion, homosexuality) might be a sin, but we're all sinners and any individual doesn't have the right or responsibility to murder or attack in the name of God. There's usuall nothing BUT condemnation from every direction from the Christians.

But when a Muslim murders or attacks in another way, there's no uproar from Muslim clergy. Sure, there's a huge swell of "don't blame all of us for the actions of a few," but very little condemnation of the act itself from Muslims, and none from the Imams.

Unfortunately, the Americans With Disabilities Act might require handles rather than knobs so they can be operated by elderly and others with weak grips or poor ability to rotate the hand. We've sown the seeds of our own destruction.

What's a bummer is that people are constantly demeaning and degrading one of the nicest things a wife can dofor her husband.

Cute: Female puppet talks about giving makes a black eye.

Misogyny and evidence of the patriarchy: Situation reversed.

A parent made or bought a cute costume, and that's "A+ Parenting." Geez.

I worked with a young woman, about 24, who was very smart. Maybe that's a given that we were all"book smart" being all engineers. But she was always having to prove she was smarter than everyone else. I was talking about a series of sci fi books I was reading, and she was compelled to say she'd already read them, and any TRUE sci fi fan would prefer a different series. That pattern repeated in other ways with other people, i noticed.

So maybe, guys aren't as turned off by smart girls (or women) as much as by ones who have to continually one-up everyone else to prove that they're the smartest person in the room.

Remember when the Internet was new, and people discovered that they could animate jokes to show cartoons "saying" the speaking parts and acting things out? What a great way to make a 30 second joke into a two minute slogfest that was torture to get through. Same thing with this panel by panel "telling" of an old joke..

Why does "someone else" always have to change or I,please tell something *you* want? Disney should do xyz, some other company should do abc. If it's important, then do,it,yourself. Write a compelling and riveting story that movie companies would be nuts to NOT make into a movie. But for goodness sake, stop trying to make everyone else conform to your view of fairness.

McD's and BK aren't all that different, really. If,you want an "opposite side of the tracks" story, make it between a Chipotle and steakhouse loving carnivore and a Whole Foods shopping vegan. Make the vegan militant about it, too.

This is actually a good point. It's too bad (for the Native Americans) that they didn't have the ability to resist or repel the invasion of Europeans. Had they been able to do so, they'd have been able to maintain their way of life, regardless of whether we think their way wasn't as good as what was being imposed in them. The parallel to now is that the USA *does* have the ability to resist and repel invasion from those who want to come to the US but make it more like the place theyre leaving as far as laws, culture etc. There's the ability, but not the will to do so. Being called "racist" by those who can't distinguish between legal and illegal immigration is too harsh. Being called "Islamophobic" is too severe a consequence to go against "refugees" who want to implement sharia law and make the US like the countries that they're "fleeing."

45%--More violence doesn't solve other violence.
55%--Those @$$#0€$ deserve it.

If a woman had it within her power to kill her rapist(s), why wouldn't she be able to stop the rape in the first place? Or is this trying to say she would kill the rapist(s) at some point after the crime?

Since it's so easy to "shoot the legs" of a perp to disable him, it makes ya' wonder why the Australian police hurt anyone at all. I mean, just shoot the gun or knife out of his hands, right? And that three bullet maximum...how nice of criminals to never rove in groups larger than three. Also, maybe Australians don't have a femoral artery, so leg shots aren't that dangerous.

Man, the things some people believe because they saw it on a cartoon or a 1950s western.

With your powerful thighs?

White people like to assuage their white guilt by sympathizing and going over the top in how terrible white people are/were, but I never see any of them giving anything back to the natives they feel were "robbed." They sometimes agitate for *other* people to fund reparations or some $#+.

I don't care for Girl Scout cookies. They taste...well..."ok," but the price per ounce is ridiculous. There are many better cookies at the store for much less per cookie. Plus, wth is it with the price? There's no store overhead or sales or delivery? The GS district gets some tiny amount of money. The cookie company must be raking in the dough.

Doing nothing? The Orlando school now requires clear backpacks and the wearing of IDs, which could have helped with what happened had those measures been in place. Those measures aren't whatDavod Hogg and the rest *wanted*, but confiscating and destroying all firearms is not going to happen.

As much as I dislike this so-called Westboro Baptist Church, physically preventing them from exercising their right to free speech bothers me as well. If We can justify preventing them from speaking their minds, then the next thing is, someone can prevent you or me from the same thing because they find what we say, even if it's true, offensive to them. Plus I think it's a good idea to get this Fred Phelps group faulty Opinions out into the light where It can be debunked and legitimately criticized, instead of sirpressed such that some people might wonder if there isn't something to the speech that you're trying to keep from being sad.

Boo brings home her BF and there are four eyes in the open closet doorway watching them...well, do wat dey do.

Next sentiment: why don't people ever talk to me?

I am an older man, and I'm just imagining how much fun I'd have if I took my wife on a $500 date...both on the date and then afterwards. If I weren't married, I'll net I could find a woman who'd be a lot of fun on such a date, and wouldn't be a "pro," although she might just be "regular pretty" vs. arm candy. Honestly, I'd feel like a fool spending that kind of money on such a vapid gold digger.

The USA has so much more violence because you let in all those groups who use violence to,settle arguments and to increase their gangs' drug selling territories. It's easier to have cultural unity and peace when there's racial homogeneity.

You can also $v€£ each others' )/(&$ as long as you say "no homo" first.

"Mmmm...yeah....10 miles per gallon....ooohhhhh, that's turning me on...."

It's amazing how people start taking much better care of their phones once they pay for their own vs. having mommy and daddy buy the replacements.

It looks HORRIBLE! I imagine struggling to climb but sliding down farther...farther...until the plastic,surrounds you and you can't breathe.

I just love people bragging about what they're *gonna* do some day. Nearly as useful as parenting advice from non-parents.

Another reminder for those who,want more government control in more aspects of,our lives--sometimes that control is pretty screwed up.

As a smoker, you're "for" banning smoking? Simply exercise your prerogative to not smoke.

Well, he doubled the national debt, and made every racial incident worse instead of defusing them. He managed to get government to control more of health insurance--which might be good if there was a sustainable plan to pay for it--but kicked the can down the road for people in a few years to figure out. For a few key congressional votes, he allowed those congressional districts' states to be exempt from the health insurance law! If it's so good, why were they exempt from It? Bowing to foreign leaders and buckling under to other countries and the UN on many issues instead of putting US interests first are some more reasons to not care for him.
On the birth certificate, a US president *must* be a naturally born citizen. If I have to show a bunch of documentation to get a Real ID drivers license, why did Obama drag out showing his birth certificate to prove that he met the law to be eligible for the presidency?

"There would be giant insects" doesn't make sense because gravity would stay the same. An insect's leg or fang would increase in weight at the cube of the ratio of scaling (because its weight is proportional to volume) but its strength to lift that appendage would only go up with the square of the scaling (muscle cross sectional area). Regardless of oxygen, the forces at work on earth drive why it's most efficient for tiny creatures to be constructed one way and large ones to be completely different.

Killing yourself is the very opposite of surviving.

Same here , in high school. I discovered that it became less so in college, and much less the case later with friends I made at work, in church, and other activities. I think its because "friends" in high school are often same-age people forced to be in the same place. The "friendships" don't stick as much as with those you befriend later by choice rather than in HS because of proximity. Although, a few HS friends might stay in your life.

Tell you His exact words? Some guys wrote that down in a book for,you.

It's a-door-able!

So....she's wearing it because she's ugly?

OMG...I'm triggered. I need my safe space.
