LazyDrunk has a point here. You can never have zero doubt about a faith, because you know deep down that religion is just a bunch of horse shit.

Lets all hope that school shooting won't become popular enough for every single school to have an armed squad.

Also i don't see how that could minimize casualties that much it's not like the squad can all of a sudden appear were the shooting takes place.

Once a shooter opens fire, They can kill the shooter before the shooter has a chance to kill a lot more people.

Then the shooter could blast the shit out the teacher. Get on the computer see who is running. Go to them and blast the shit out of them. If anything cameras might endanger more lives. Considering in a non-camera situation you could run without the shooter knowing.

The only way to absolutely stop school shootings is to ban guns. But since I know that won't happen. We could at least do back round checks on everyone who buys a gun.

You ban guns. Now what? Say the shooter manages to get a firearm illegally. Guess your little ban didn't work.

If you want to minimize school shooter casualties, you would put up a heavily armed squad with full body armor in each school. But that's a huge waste of money.

Knowing where the killer is can make it easier to evacuate students safely.
If theirs monitors in every single room. Yeah it would help. But if that were the case the shooter could just see who is running and kill them. All the shooter would have to do is kill the people around the monitors for the camera then just go nuts killing everyone. Camera quite literally would do nothing to save lives.

Cameras are not much help.

- There could be multiple shooters
- They could barricade/guard exits
- They could set fires, preventing escape

I was assuming that everything in the constitution applies to everyone on US soil. Screw international law. We can bomb the hell out of everyone else and make our own international laws.... but so can the other nuke-wielding countries. We must get them before they get us.

Thats the declaration of independence.

The constitution is the one with "We the people of the United States" meaning LEGAL CITIZENS. Not border hoppers or asstards with expired visas.

Damn, I hate getting my legal documents wrong. Well, the constitution does protect CITIZENS from "Cruel and unusual punishment". Illegals are not citizens, therefore we should be able to inflict cruel and unusual punishment such as torture. Right?

In order to burn a US flag within the country, you should have identification with you that shows you're a US citizen. Illegal immigrants who burn the US flag should be arrested and deported on the spot. They shouldn't be able to enter our country illegally, desecrate our flag, and do so under the pretext that they are simply using rights, considering they as illegal immigrants do not possess or deserve those rights from us. An illegal coming here and burning our flag is the most arrogant, pathetic thing I've ever seen.

So technically, according to this logic, we should be able to lawfully torture, rape, kill, and commit any other act we see fit against illegal immigrants because they don't have the right to life while they are on US soil?

Much easier to what? Believe a lie? Of course it's much easier to trick someone into believing something if everyone else around them are doing the same thing. It's like a big prank, that involves millions of people.

And last time I checked, symbols were important because maybe they I dunno SYMBOLIZED SHIT!

On another note, I've always felt that the right to burn the flag was a clear example on how people are taking advantage of their freedoms to an anarchistic level.

So you want the government to limit freedom? Burning a flag won't physically hurt anyone or their property.

Every letter of the alphabet is a symbol. Words are symbols put together. They have an agreed upon meaning to a group of people. Yet people get seriously offended if photons are emitted from a light source, reflect off of the symbol, and travel into their eye, producing an image in their mind that has no meaning, but the meaning that society gave them. Same with spoken word. it's just vibrations traveling to your ears that produce a sound in your mind, with no meaning but the one you've learned.

That said, if I were to produce sounds or written symbols that look like "I'm going to kill you" I could go to jail because someone interprets it as a threat.

Here's another one: I can't set my own rules. Suddenly, I have to follow someone else's, or I'm going to the imaginary fire place. Some things that Christians see as sins, I don't. So that would mean giving up my beliefs.

If you notice in the Jewish old testament,the book of Isiah states everything the Messiah would come to save them.They expected Jesus to be a worldly king,like David and rejected him.They are still waiting for the messiah even though he came thousands of years ago.Islam roots from Judaism,and even says that Jesus ,is coming back.Even though they twisted it to fit their religion.

Buddhism? Satanism? Scientology? Wicans? Shintoism? Hinduism? What about those?
If Jews and Muslims aren't wrong, why do you follow Christianity rather than the other two?

I take it that you also believe everything you see on the news?

God does not want to send anyone to hell,its your choice.he has people tell you to change your ways and except Jesus into your heart.But people like you just want to rebel,for whatever reason.The greatest thing Satan ever did was convince the world that he and God do not exist.Hell was created for Satan and his demons,after his fall from heaven.If it were not for that hell would not exist.What ever is not of God is of Satan.So you not believing in God are with Satan,making you one his followers causing you to go to hell with him.

How can I be a servant of someone that doesn't exist? You're saying that another magical being brainwashed me into believing that he and god don't exist, and then he will torture me for being loyal? Sounds funny actually.

He said himself someone must have been praying for me otherwise,I would have never have found God.Just because he is a spirit does not make him dead.Bodies are just vessels,God does not need one.Giving your life means you intrust your life into his hands as you would a doctor.

If someone has a weak mind, and really wants something to happen, they will believe what they want for that something to happen.

people don't seem to understand that God wants to help us,

And also wants to send you to hell, because you are a sinner for no reason.

:but we need to attempt to help ourselves first.My cousin for example was an atheist,we constantly prayed for him.(Hes the brother of the one who was shot.After his brother was shot he began spiraling downward,saying"how can God exist if he allowed something like this to happen?"He began smoking weed,and crack,and drinking all the time.to the point where he began coughing up his lungs.We began praying for him more.to make a long story short,he became a Christian by giving his life to Christ.

What...? How can you "give" your life to someone? Unless you let them kill you, or become their eternal slave. And how can you give your life to a dead guy? I'd say your prayers did nothing, it was his own choice to believe in a religion.

I thought of another question, this one relating to freedom of speech. You go into a movie theater, grab a lighter, light it, and yell (or say) fire. This causes panic. Is "I was just referring to the lighter in my hand, I didn't mean to cause panic" a good enough excuse to avoid consequences?
