My 2nd part of the post as I can't put it all in one post, I apologizes for making such a long post.

:God Does Not Teach Children to Be Good. A child should make moral choices for the right reasons. Telling him that he must behave because God is watching means that his morality will be externally focused rather than internally structured. ItâEUTMs like telling a child to behave or Santa wonâEUTMt bring presents. When we take God out of the picture, we place responsibility of doing the right thing onto the shoulders of our children. No, they wonâEUTMt go to heaven or rule their own planets when they die, but they can sleep better at night. They will make their family proud. They will feel better about who they are. They will be decent people.

And ironically as this sounds, it doesn't teach people to be bad either, in fact it's people who teach kids to be good or bad, regardless if it's the parents and whatnot, never the less it's up to the individual to decide witch path in life to take, again I'll say personally hope they lead good lives as I have mentioned above.

:God Teaches Narcissism. âEUoeGod has a plan for you.âEU Telling kids there is a big guy in the sky who has a special path for them makes children narcissistic; it makes them think the world is at their disposal and that, no matter what happens, it doesnâEUTMt really matter because God is in control. That gives kids a sense of false security and creates selfishness. âEUoeNo matter what I do, God loves me and forgives me. He knows my purpose. I am special.âEU The irony is that, while we tell this story to our kids, other children are abused and murdered, starved and neglected. All part of GodâEUTMs plan, right?

:When we raise kids without God, we tell them the truth-we are no more special than the next creature. We are just a very, very small part of a big, big machine-whether that machine is nature or society-the influence we have is minuscule. The realization of our insignificance gives us a true sense of humbleness.

:I understand why people need God. I understand why people need heaven. It is terrifying to think that we are all alone in this universe, that one day we-along with the children we love so much-will cease to exist. The idea of God and an afterlife gives many of us structure, community and hope.

:I do not want religion to go away. I only want religion to be kept at home or in church where it belongs. ItâEUTMs a personal effect, like a toothbrush or a pair of shoes. ItâEUTMs not something to be used or worn by strangers. I want my children to be free not to believe and to know that our schools and our government will make decisions based on what is logical, just and fair-not on what they believe an imaginary God wants.

In other words people need to come to realization why Religion is meant to be a Private Club of Devotion, to fully say it, it's meant to be a Private Club of Loyalty & Devotion to begin with.

The real trouble is the sheer fact that people keep expressing about Religion as nothing more and nothing less but a Public Influence, this in turn has in fact cause more harm then good and further more also has caused Disloyalty and even Betrayal in it's wake.

A number of comments I'll make regarding to why this person raise her children without God as I will mention below, note that this will be in a 2 part post.

One thing I'll say about this, people choose paths and have the right to choose for good or for ill, my personal side to this is that I hope they grow for good but if any decide to lead any ill path should there be no way to persuade them away from it then so be it for if they refuse to learn the lesson the easy way they'll learn the lesson the hard way.

Life is all about learning as life is the ultimate teacher and we live to learn in life, even the most harsh lessons in life itself.

We write poems saying that we told God to leave our schools. Now heâEUTMs making us pay the price. If there is a good, all-knowing, all-powerful God who loves his children, does it make sense that he would allow murders, child abuse, wars, brutal beatings, torture and millions of heinous acts to be committed throughout the history of mankind? DoesnâEUTMt this go against everything Christ taught us in the New Testament?

My response to this is that the massacre in Newtown is one of those things that just wasn't meant to happen, in fact Nancy Lanza should of took much closer at the signs of violent behavior of her son, this means she should of done something about it when the moment was right and as sad as it sounds she ends up missing that moment which in turn resulted in her own death not meant to take place.

In fact people should of looked at the earlier signs of such violent behavior after the Virginia Tech Massacre took place, if that was done and if Nancy Lanza took better heed of the warning signs, she alone could very well prevent the unthinkable in it's wake.

Oddly enough, I heard about that saying from a movie years ago as it may not be the most populate but had an interesting reference from the film called "The Warrior's Way" to why one of the characters said "God ain't fair".

Why certain people are born with heart defects and such it happens for a number of reasons and some of those reasons are due to the major mishaps of doctors, it should be noted that many of such mishaps where rather unintentional to begin with, whatever the case it's just sad to hear these things take place and humans aren't the only ones taking these mishaps as well, some other animals also have mishaps like these and I wouldn't even doubt similar taking place on other planets as well.

Again people have the right to make choice witch explains why people are meant to have free will, for good or for ill matters not and again I will also say the fact that I only hope for people to live good lives, even so there are some people that follow ill live-hoods and if there's no other way to persuade them away from it then let them take the fall by there own hands for only then they'll learn the lesson they where meant to learn in life the hard way.

Actually people need to see Religion more differently as a Private Club of Devotion to something or someone and the big reason why I say this is simple.

The bulk, and yes I do mean the BULK of today's religions point out to one thing and one thing only, they point out to the one thing is of anyone's wild guess.

That guess is none other but God/Goddess itself and that alone just doesn't bold well, thus the big reason why people (who haven't already) need to see Religion more differently, I'll explain a few examples.

What would happen if one group of people saw Freedom as a Religion, what would happen if another group of people saw Technology as a Religion, what would happen if another group of people saw Video Games as a Religion, what would happen if people even saw Bungholioism as a Religion and worshiped Cornholio as there deity in it's wake?

That's the one thing that needs to happen in today's world, especially to those who haven't done so already, why is this? Because it's already the New World Era and this was something that should of happened a long period ago but because it didn't, it might as well happen even as I type this post up for all to know.

Just another thing to statwhore over and brag about to your friends. Really though, it just gives you a list of goals that are often fun but aren't part of the core game. Without the list of achievements and you would never even think of doing some of them. Points are just there because people like getting rewarded.

I think the purpose of Achievements from Xbox 360, Trophies from Playstation 3 and Medals from Newgrounds is to earn recognition among other players, for more or for less matters not, only thing that matters so is that the more Achievements/Medals/Trophies you earn, you earn recognition among other gamers, even more so if one managed to complete an entire list worth.

Some are easy, some are hard, some are neither easy nor hard and I already had my fair share of such not to mention the fact others have as well.

All they have to do is say "violent video games should be banned! weapons should be banned!" and they can go home and pretend that they helped stop violence. It doesn't even have to actually happen, they just use that opinion to feel like good people.

Mental health is an extremely complicated topic that requires proactive solutions, so no one wants to touch it.

And the people that simply talk about banning things that shouldn't even be banned to begin with are forgetting the fact that what they ask for will do more harm then good in the long run.

As for Mental Health Issues, it isn't easy to determine who's mentally ill and who isn't mentally ill and in some cases some of those individuals never had mental issues to begin with until some point later on in life.

One classic signs of mental breakdown for those who seen the film Full Metal Jacket (or parts of it for the matter) is Private Pyle, an individual who never had mental health issues until in the later parts of the film and the reasoning to why he started to have mental problems is when Gunnery Sergeant Hartman discovered a contraband jelly doughnut in Pyle's foot locker and decided that every mistake Private Pyle makes is punishment for the rest of the platoon (with Private Pyle being spared in the process).

In response to that, the platoon in turn decides to restrain Private Pyle on a bunk bed and beats him with bars of soaps raped in wrapped in towels and in the aftermath of the incident he ends up talking to his M14 rifle as Private Joker (not to be mistaken from The Joker from Batman) takes note about Private Pyle's mental breakdown.

This one example from the Full Metal Jacket film (as much I as I don't like to do spoilers unless I have to otherwise) shows that even certain people who didn't have mental issues to begin with can end up showing mental health problems in the later run of life and I'm also for certain other examples exist.

I think one of the funniest moments is when you see glitches and exports in a video game that the video game developers just forgot to take out, at least so as long as the game still works.

I'm pretty sure there are other funny moments where people saw in video games besides such, some of those video game developers would even put them on there on purpose just to get one good laugh.

Well people do have the right to defend themselves and further more that should be exercised, especially in cases when there's no other resort to turn to in moments of need.

The world itself is a dangerous place to begin with no matter how many years has passed, no matter how much the people try to make it better or worse, the world is always meant to be one dangerous place to live in, even in other worlds beyond Earth the same can also be said on planets there, save for the fact that the reasons differ from one-another, even if some of those reasons where rather similar if not nearly the same.

People need to learn about Weapon Responsibility and the mother who defended herself already knows on how to defend herself should the moment of need ever arise for it.

The 1 trillion dollar coin is perhaps the most ridiculous thing ever thought of, there's better ways to get the United States of America out of debt but this just isn't one of them.

One of the things they need to do is to not spend so much money on the United States Department of Education, that alone has been soaking up a LOT more then it should, over billions dollars is just too much for education.

Another thing too, this goes beyond the United States Department of Education, The No Child Left Behind Act is also a very bad idea to begin with and one of the big reasons why the school systems have gone downhill is because too many students are being put in the wrong classrooms.

That said, put the students in the right classrooms, ones they feel best with, putting them in the wrong classrooms just isn't the answer, it in fact will cause more problems then it will solve.

The United States of Department of Homeland Security in fact needs to go, a lot of people took note it's wasting our tax dollars and also brings about the reason to why the locals need to learn to govern themselves more.

The War on Drugs also did more harm then good and caused even more problems then it can solve, that too is one of the big reasons why this nation has gotten deeper into debt, this is why some people need to come to the realization that everyone takes drugs, for medical purpose or for addition purpose matters not, only thing that matters so, don't abuse drugs nuf said.

What dose all this have to do with The 1,000,000,000,000 Dollar Coin? The Coin worth that much money just doesn't make any sense and rendered the most unreasonable thing in an attempt to get this nation out of debt.

I do believe that ratings are in place for a reason though and if they're followed properly then children will be better off for it. On the other end of the scale, I don't think that they should ban certain games entirely or make them change content when it's already intended for a mature audience. Adults should be allowed to play them by their own choice, not have that decision made for them.

It's hard to believe the NRA would really go that far into bringing video gaming entertainment into politics and this is one of those things that seriously need to stay out of politics.

The one thing I will however bring up is people who haven't already must come to the realization that Age & Maturity just don't mix, only one thing that ever dose come close is growing up as the people we choose to become thus explaining the big reason why that kids need to grow up as people first and once there done with that, only then they'll go after other things (single or multiple interest matters not).

This is why the ESRB Ratings need to change, sooner or later they have to do that because the Age ratings just aren't working, they never had since the day they began considering the fact I notice children getting a hold of M rated video games and some of them are just immature, even some adults today are just immature to the core itself and that's just really messed up.

What ESRB really needs to do is what Indie Games back on Xbox Live did, change it to content ratings entirely, like for example you have your Comic Mischief, your Violence (Blood and Gore), Sexual Themes, just Maturity Level (one that doesn't relate with age what so ever) and whatever else that can be included so as long as age isn't included (the reason why I say this is focusing on Age just won't work, some parents will still buy there kids the kind of video games that really go above there age limits and they will, no matter what).

That said, mixing Age with Maturity only dose a LOT more harm then good, it will and the one thing I also notice with Newgrounds is that the games and movies don't feature content ratings, none of them do witch is something Tom Fulp will one day have to look into as well.

As controversial as it sounds, people have to come to the realization why Age and Maturity just don't mix, I said before and I'll say again.

Welcome to the new world era.

Blaming Video Games simply because of a shooting took place is just one of the worst reasons imaginable, because video games no matter how violent are just meant for entertainment and for entertainment only.

As for the shooter, no idea what got him motivated to commit such act and regardless of the case, his reasoning to do so is also laid out for the worst reason imaginable, that alone proves that some people whack things out of proportion not meant to be whacked out of proportion.

The victims should of gotten the chance to defend themselves if they had access to guns and other weapons themselves if possible but instead they where found dead as soon as police arrive and this is one of those things to prove that people need to learn to not only protect themselves when moments like that take place but also learn about Weapon Responsibility.

This is without a doubt one of the big reasons why people need to see "Religion" as just a private club of devotion to someone or something, it shouldn't by any means be up to the state to decide who should marry and who shouldn't be married.

That said some people even forget why the Wall of Separation between State and Religion came to be, even then the Wall of Separation between State and Religion should state that all religions are nothing more and nothing less but private clubs of devotion. also enough said.

Link

Simple proof that some people like Senator Dianne Feinstein just don't understand why this is the Land of the Free, people like Senator Dianne Feinstein just simply DON'T understand why this nation is meant to be the Land of the Free & Home of the Brave.

Why is this? Because Senator Dianne Feinsteine just doesn't support the way how Freedom is meant to be, further more also doesn't realize why people need to learn The Creed of Weapon Responsibility.

That said, people like that don't even know why people in America are meant to have the right to bear arms, in fact it should include not only just guns but all forms of weapons, including our own body itself.

Gun Control is simply like Weapon Control, and no matter how hard some people try such individuals like Senator Dianne Feinsteine can't get rid of weapons, because weapons are apart of us, down to our own body itself.

Again I will say, it's The Creed of Weapon Responsibility people need to learn about, not the idea of actual Gun Control.

The big reason why the world didn't end in 2012 then some people personally thought is due to the sheer fact it was in all reality this.

The End of an Old World Era brings about the Begining of a New World Era, why is this? Because when an Old Era ends, a New Era begins in it's wake, it's just like the Great War (or just World War I for the matter), the First World War brought an end to an Old Era of Warfare and in turn brings about a begining of a New Era of Warfare, then when World War II came to be we started seeing Air Planes and better Tanks, better weapons.

That said, an end of an Old World Era brings about the beginning of a New World Era, welcome to the New World Era.

If anybody supports what they did, kill yourselves.

China should be more worried about there own nation then the outside nations outside there borders. You honestlly think we the American people will comply to China's demand? NO, we the American people have our own problems to worry about, why should China worry about us? China should be worried about taking care of themselves like parents taknig care of there children.

If China wants the American People to disarm and impose Gun Control, I say the Chinese Goverment can "shove it" for all I care. That alone proves that China needs to stop jumping into the affairs of other nations, yet they do so for the most ill reasons imaginable.

That said, nations need to learn to take care of themselves, whatever more or less matters not, only thing that matters so is that people need to learn that Great Power comes with Great Responsibility and Great Knowledge in turn also comes with Great Senes, if the Chinese Goverment hasen't learned this then something's wrong and that something is the one thing if not series of things they need to deal with on there own.

Again I will say, thoes who think Gun Control is the way will realize it isn't "the hard way", it's Weapon Responsibility we need to be more worried about because if we go the path of Weapon Responsibility then people in turn will take better care of there weaponry.

On the personal side, the best known way to solve this Gun debate going on, I think people need to relay not on Gun Control, but in fact Weapon Responsibility.

Yes, The Creed of Weapon Responsibility that should be in place for all to know, why this? Because people need to learn to protect themselves and learn to be responsible for the very weapons they possess, I not only include Guns but also other things like Knives, Swords, Clubs, Maces, Axes, Baseball Bats, Knuckles, even one's own Body so here's what I have in mind as seen below.

We are always armed, down to the body itself.
Everyone is responsible for one's own weapons.
Always keep weapons safe and secure, draw weapons only when needed.
Protect oneself & others only when needed, not when wanted.
Oneself must train to use a weapon in the right way possible.
Never let your weapons & knowledge on how to use them to fall into the hands of the irresponsible & immature.

Again I'll say, people in not only the United States of America but also the world must learn about the responsibilities on weapons. That said, Great Power comes with Great Responsibility and in turn Great Knowledge also comes with Great Sense, the reason for this is very simple.

If there isn't Knowledge that isn't Power then there isn't Sense that isn't Responsibility, all who read this, remember that and remember it good!

This also proves that some people even to this day understand the meaning to why Soldiers are Soldiers. I don't care of the color of one's skin and I don't care of the gender of the individual, once a Soldier is expected to be treated as a Soldier, nothing more and nothing less.

Why I say this? Because it's the way it's meant to be, all who haven't learned that lesson the easy way will learn that lesson the hard way, especially those who soldiers in the military who think women shouldn't be allowed in combat, for such individuals will learn a harsh lesson for thinking like that.

Here's a little something I found just as of recent, a article where teachers are allowed to carry concealed guns to schools as seen in this link.

On the serious side, people need to learn to take care of themselves and thus have the right to defend themselves, do people honestly think that "Gun Control" is going to solve things? NO, it won't, it will only make matters worse as criminals will still get there hands on guns and other weapons to carry out there activities.

They will, believe me on this, would people honestly think that Adam Peter Lanza who commited the mass shootings back in Sandy Hook Elementary School wouldn't commit his vile act if he didn't have access to guns? NO, he would still be able to find other means and carry out his vile act that killed 26 innocent people in trade, and when I mean other means, I mean he could of used knives, swords, maces, clubs, baseball bats, brass knuckles, bows, cross bows, even his own fist and feet.

Anyone who thinks that Gun Control is gonna help things? NO, it won't, again it will simply make matters worse, President Obama, if your reading this, you might as well come to the realization to what I'm trying to tell you, either way, you will one day see a Native American Decedent who's personally wronged by both political parties who will one day run for President of the Untied States oneself in the year 2020, your looking at him right now.

All will know that Gun Control just dosen't work, whatever the easy way or the hard way matters not.

I think Marijuana should be re-legalized for a number of reasons as stated below.

For one, if Marijuana is a natural plant, I'm pretty sure there's a big reason why it's there within the eco-system, getting rid of it could do us more harm then good to the eco-system itself.

For two, Marijuana has been known to be used for medical use as seen in this Link

For three, arresting people just because they simply smoke marijuana is costing this nation more money then it's worth, my words on this are simple, once Marijuana is re-legalized, all who where arrested just because they smoke it will be pardoned on a federal scale.

Finally for four, instead of the saying "don't do drugs", that saying will be replaced with "don't abuse drugs", why "don't abuse drugs"? That's because people will learn to be more mature and more responsible when taking drugs. Because if one abuses drugs the effects of the drugs in turn abuse the user in it's wake.

That wraps up the reason why Marijuana must be re-legalized. It will happen, whatever sooner or later matters not.

But I'm certain the Founders never intended children to die because a lunatic purchased a weapon.

If anything I say find a way to keep them out of the hands of the mentally ill since many of the mentally ill individuals are more then likely to commit killing sprees (witch in most cases end in suicide), through I also suspect a possible revenge motive of sort since Nancy Lanza removed her son Adam Lanza from the Newtown public school system due to the sheer fact she was unhappy with the school district's plans for her son. The article about the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shootings can be found here.

From what I also noticed on another interesting report is that many of the mentally ill end up getting there mental treatment in jails rather than in hospitals or treatment centers, leading to exposure of the mentally ill to hardened criminals witch in turn becomes an even bigger problem, a bigger problem that also must be solved and soon. Its a report I found on this Link.

This points out that some people even to this day don't think that women should be allowed to serve in the front lines of battle within the military. Whoever this Navel Officer said that women should be banned from combat roles will learn a harsh lesson on why "Soldiers are Soldiers".

Soldiers are soldiers, I don't care what they look like, I don't care what the gender, I simply don't care where there from. The only thing I ever care about is if a person who joins the Military and becomes a Soldier, such a person will be treated as a Soldier from there on. Sooner or later other Nations (this world and what not) will have women Soldiers within there ranks, from the lowest to the highest of ranks also matters not.

If Amazons can beat the Spartans, then I have no doubt there are women capable of fighting on the front lines of battle.

Thoughts?

A lawsuit is in place to change this, by the way.

I don't see a problem with it. Black, white, gay, straight, male, female, guns and bullets are universal terms.

My reasons why women should be allowed in combat is the one simple reason why people sign up for the military.

Soldiers are Soldiers, never forget who the enemies are, never forget who the allies are and never forget who the neutrals are, if one forgets who's who, your gonna have problems on the battlefield.

That said, women soldiers in the military should be treated the same way as men soldiers are and thus should also be allowed to eventually earn 4-star general/flag officer promotions (and maybe one day one of them may even get a 5-star promotion as well).

This rant basically sums up everything about him..

My favorite quote: "Then, there were the gaffes. Mitt RomneyâEUTMs self inflicted wounds were so severe that he made Sarah Palin look like Stephen Hawking."

Being least influential he won alright and the big reason why the President of 2008 one was because of Mitt Romney and that's why some people choose not to vote for either of them.

To answer that question if we pray to Jesus, we pray to him as if he was an actual deity, in fact everyone is the children of The Great Spirit itself.

In fact, we are the children of God/Goddess itself, I can say The Great Spirit for the exact same reason why and I think it one day wants some of us who are willing (if not more then willing) to one day ascend to Deityhood itself. If Jesus ascended to Deityhood itself, so can we.

When they catch this scumbag, I hope they Rodney King his ass and I hope no dumb ass like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton try playing the race-card if the police beat the crap out of this guy. He deserves an ass beating.

This is why people need to learn to defend themselves more often should stuff like this ever take place, why is this? Because people have the right to defend themselves and in turn people need to learn on how to defend themselves from individuals like that dude seen in the photo.

I find it alarming that this man is anywhere near a position of power.

The old testament was wicked. I heard allot of talk recently on here about Islamic religion and how it is so evil when the Old testament is just as bad. This guy is text book Fascist as he try's to usher in the Utopia by the word of God and the Christian right wrapped into politics. These fanatics in expensive suites are the people destroying this planet when will people wake the fuck up.

Whoever this Charlie Fuqua is, he's someone who's more then willing to get rid of the Wall of Separation between State and Religion, he's like one of those people who shouldn't even be allowed to have a position of power. Hard to believe someone like him would even come that close.

Probably one of the smartest politicians i've ever seen. He seems like a true statesman, unlike other politicians in the world who leverage their position to accumulate wealth and ever increasing power.

Poorest President or no, I think so as long as he's happy, his people are happy and he's doing his job as President of Uruguay very well to the point where he and his people remain happy then yes, I be happy myself.

This is one of those things to prove that one doesn't have to be rich in order to run and become elected President of the United States, it's sadly unfortunate that a lot of people think that way and sooner or later, they'll be proven wrong.

What if one poor person becomes President of the United States oneself to the point where oneself dose the job just right, sure one would need some degree of money but not over millions of dollars just to run a campaign.

In fact I alone would run campaigns on forums like newgrounds, Xbox Live, Playstation Network even to make the run for the 2020 Presidency, sure people will say I'm too young but I'm here to prove why Age & Maturity just don't mix.

In either case, this is proof that one doesn't have to be rich to become President of the United States, if President Jose Mujica was still poor before he was elected President and actually won because the people of Uruguay voted for him and are happy for him for running the country of Uruguay well, I can do the same within the United States and so can anyone else.

Ikr.

If this really dose take place and more states start to consider the idea of seceding from the nation, we will more then likely be in for another American Civil War.

If it dose happen then I have no doubt that it will be MUCH more uglier then the last one, it just won't be a very pretty sight. I even bet Russia intends to regain military dominance if this happens.
