How many innocent people are sitting in a military prison in Cuba right now?
To be fair, if some of them weren't enemies of America when we arrested them, they might be now..

As with any other govt. contract, an agency says "We need a _____ that does x, y and z". Whoever comes up with the best idea gets the money to build it. That's how it works.
No our money was clearly worthless, why else would he call it NASA's money? They had their own, they didn't use tax payer money, you didn't build it.

That is my point you ignorant tool, it already happens with these substances! Why do you think it would be any different?
But this is all my point, we may be making opportunities for otherwise clean folks to screw over children. If it is already so easy there is no way you can convince me increasingly supply is good for children.
No Feoric, I mean the rebels do get weapons from outside.
I'm sorry, am I supposed to be a slave to a Hollywood-type dictionary definition, with absolutely no means of using other methods other than traditionally described? Am I not allowed to use peaceful, non-violent methods to achieve an objective?
I think I am.
Yeah sure, But I don't think that is actually being an anarchist then.

"The United States is not sending arms directly to the Syrian opposition. Instead, it is providing intelligence and other support for shipments of secondhand light weapons like rifles and grenades into Syria, mainly orchestrated from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The reports indicate that the shipments organized from Qatar, in particular, are largely going to hard-line Islamists."

The Government taking the ax to NASA isn't exactly new. We had some massive budget cuts early in Obama's first term.

"That most of the terrorist attacks against Jewish interests in Egypt took place under the rule of the Egyptian King Farouk in the 1940s and early 1950s seems irrelevant to the few Egyptian Zionist propagandists today, who appeared this week on Egyptian television and wrote articles in the Egyptian press, insinuating that all that went wrong with Egyptian Jews should be blamed on Nasser and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Indeed, such propagandists completely factor out Israeli actions from bringing about the departure of Egyptian Jews. One propagandist referred to the departure of Egyptian Jews as "nuzuh" or "flight", and agreed with al-Aryan, whom he opposes otherwise, that Jews were indeed "expelled" from Egypt.
We are even treated to the strange claims by the same propagandist that Egyptian Jews he met in the US and France continue to love Egypt, Arabs and Muslims. While there is no doubt that many Egyptian Jews, wherever they may be, harbour positive feelings towards Egypt, many of those prominent among them in the West have expressed much hatred towards Egypt and the Arab world.

Are you suggesting that the following rape, murder, abuse, torture and more would be acceptable? IS that what you are suggesting, it would be okay for millions to be raped and abused, starve to death and beaten? Why the fuck is that acceptable to you. Take a long, hard look at yourself and question why that is okay, cos there's no excuse.
If humanity is worthless and life is worth even less to the OP then family wouldn't matter. If they are okay with them being raped, beaten, abused, starved, and tortured they wouldn't even use them as an excuse. Don't you dare ever fucking suggest that the value of human life is worthless, but friends and family in your life isn't.
We are all humans. So was the OP either lying out his ass about his stance? Or was he suggesting that we are unequal in our basic human rights. Because, like I said, we all have family and friends, but in this case it is fine if it happens to everyone, that is a good thing. But no his life has value if that wasn't the case. Maybe because it is taken out of his hands and not his responsibility it somehow makes it "okay."
Which one do you think it is. A land without laws, what do you think will happen until people form a new government again?
That's actually a darn good point.
I always liked the theory that the term 'God' often derives from mankind's limitations of knowledge, so back when we were largely ignorant about complex natural events or diseases, volcanoes, tides, etc. we just used the word God to fill in the gaps of what we couldn't explain. And now our knowledge of the world is so advanced God has been pushed back to the very recesses of what we still don't know yet, like the 'God particle' and mind fucking deep space shit.
Do you think we know that much honestly? We don't, in general only the educated understand how little we know.

I'm fairly certain that the artist meant to depict old white men using banks to exert control over poor people or something like that. The Jew thing is a flimsy excuse to order the mural to be taken down, good old London with its free speech and whatnot.
If anti semitism wasn't the goal, then the noses wouldn't have been drawn like that honestly.

So where is the Word of God in the argument about gun control? Why do we not hear "beat your swords into plowshares"? "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword"? "Turn the other cheek"? "Though shalt not kill"?
Now, I'm not Christian anymore, but I still believe in religion, and I can't accept people who use obscure quotes from their religious texts to stomp on human rights one second (homosex) and then completely ignore the most important and repeated tenants of their faith when it applies to themselves (guns). You can't just take the parts you like and ignore the rest. (there's probably a Bible quote about that too)
You don't understand the difference between people who cherry pick lines from the bible and people who are Christian? There is a big difference, one has an agenda and one has a religion.
Exodus 22:2-3 "If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft."
Luke 11:21
"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe"
Luke 22:36
âEUoeBut now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.
Psalm 144:1
Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle
1 Samuel 13:19-20
Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, âEUoeLest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears.âEU But every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle
Mark 3:27
But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house.
I think those are some right?
Anyway turn the other cheek doesn't mean to put yourself in the position of danger, it is telling people not to exact vengeance upon people.
Because
"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
Christianity isn't about pacifism.
Murder =/= Killing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_shall_not_murder
It is more about translation and then looking at the actual text.
Anyway, no need to use the bible at all, because we have laws in our country. And we have rights, rights that the government according to these laws shall not infringe upon.

Eligibility Requirements
If you are a green card holder of at least 5 years, you must meet the following requirements in order to apply for naturalization:
Be 18 or older at the time of filing
Be a green card holder for at least 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing the Form N-400, Application for Naturalization
Have lived within the state, or USCIS district with jurisdiction over the applicantâEUTMs place of residence, for at least 3 months prior to the date of filing the application
Have continuous residence in the United States as a green card holder for at least 5 years immediately preceding the date of the filing the application
Be physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application
Reside continuously within the United States from the date of application for naturalization up to the time of naturalization
Be able to read, write, and speak English and have knowledge and an understanding of U.S. history and government (civics).
Be a person of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States during all relevant periods under the law
Oh no, the standards are so harsh.
Getting a green card, how impossible.
Let's face it they send money back home and don't pay taxes, they use emergency services and their children attend public school. All of this without paying taxes.
But lets be honest, the most difficult part about becoming a citizen is paying for the work visa. After that if they keep to their word, and the illegals here go to the back of the line. Citizenship remains further away then ever for them.
Stop talking shit, I addressed issues in the first response. Of all the people I tend to disagree with consistently, I honestly expect a little bit better from you. You at least try to be rational or reasonable from your own view point.

"Victimless" crime of smoking pot (debatable) is still a crime. Your "freedom" to get high should not have the impact it would on others.
Sure, absolutely. This would be more effective if we opened the NFA registry again, but when people say "close the loophole!" the only way that would be accomplished is effectively banning private transactions. This doesn't really do that, but of course I'm not opposed to it.
The problem is when the "loophole" is brought up, most do not even understand that it isn't the gunshow itself. It is entirely misleading and it causes people take a side before they even understand.
