I think you're missing the entire point here; it doesn't matter what the slaves did, but that they were slaves. A slave is a slave, with no rights and no freedoms, they are property just like a house or a horse would be. It doesn't matter if they were a house slave or a field slave, but they were still slaves.

Ya, but my point was that they had them only as house servants sure they'd rather be free but its not the way of life you see in roots.

History of the colonies. they were founded by a extremely cristian sect.
Then explain Rhode Island and New York and New Jersy (total religious freedom for all Christian religions), Pennsylvania (Quakers), Virginia (Catholic, and mostly an economic colony), or Georgia (a penal colony)

omg are we gunna start this arguement. all i was trying to say is the colonies the very first of them were pilgrams. come on now we have thanksgiving every year. its not we came over here to pick cotton or practice the slave trade.

the colonies flourished and british influence became strong over them. There were many profesions from carpenter to candle maker. few involved slaves.
But there were indentured servents, who would work on plantations for years in order to pay for passage to the new world; later it became apparent from land owners that slavery was more effecient.

ya, there was use of slaves but the ones that did were'nt bringin em in by the boat load like the south did. Hell some familes would sell their kid into slavery it was called aprenticing. and indentured servants are far from slaves. familes would just pay their way to the new country and they would work it off. not exactly slavrery.

slowly the northern states became free states. but the south being so reliant on the cotton harvest couldnt give up slaves as easy as the industrial north. so they stayed the same and flourished when the cotton gin was invented.
You're right about the cotton gin, but you failed to mention that the South was becoming less and less pro-slavery in the decades before the cotton gin.

Ya that supports my arugement for the cotton gin a couple of posts ago. it alone made it possible for a single slave to make hundreds of pounds of cotton in a day. all the founding fathers knew that slavery would just slowly go away through state legislation, untill the cotton gin.

from small pox blankets we gave to the indians
Excuse me! They're actually called Native Injuns

its more like native americans. thanks for trying to correct me though.

No ones saying your founding fathers were back stabbing two timers. I'm just pointing out that they were all slave owners. And that the American Colonies became rich through slavery.
The Slave trade is what fueled america before the industrial revelution.

History of the colonies. they were founded by a extremely cristian sect. the colonies flourished and british influence became strong over them. There were many profesions from carpenter to candle maker. few involved slaves. the colonies were having taxes forced down their throat and didnt want to take it so thus the american revolution. our founding fathers, whom made their riches off smuggling such things as rum and tea, made the decleration of independence. and john hancock sigend his name extra big to be spiteful, you see beacuse he was a notorious smuggler wanted by the british. slowly the northern states became free states. but the south being so reliant on the cotton harvest couldnt give up slaves as easy as the industrial north. so they stayed the same and flourished when the cotton gin was invented. there was a power struggle between free and slave states in washington and civil war was inevitable.


So maybe you could consider the American flag Racist.

i consider my entire white herritage as racist. we have done nothing but kill and mane since we got here. from small pox blankets we gave to the indians to the triangle slave trade. i just like to think we are better than that now. which is why we need to get rid of the confederated flag. it stands for all that was archaic and wrong with america.

At most this case can be used as an example as to why communication between the courts and the authorities doing background checks needs to be strengthened, not as a reason to strip the law abiding populace at large of their rights to own and maintain firearms because less than 1/1000th of 1% of the populace decides to go batshit looney toons and take out a bunch of people.

That is dishonest, and opprotunistic, d2k. For shame.

I see it as a fault in our in our up-holding of gun laws. someone sold him the gun, and the extra large clips making it possible for him to kill 33 people. Maybe if he had a knife he could of done less harm.

I have a confession. i got those statistics from an anti AWB site. there just was no pro AWB site with statistics. But the fact remains that there was a decline in assualt weapons used in crime. No one in their right mind would go out and by a gun over counter to commit a crime. so i guess what i am supporting is an increase in the federal budget to fight the flow of illegal guns to our streets. i just dont find machine guns practical so i supported the ban on them.


ok ill give you that the majority of crimes involving automatic guns are illegally boughten. but what would it hurt to increase backround checks and limit the availibilty of such weapons. if your an enthuisiest you can wait a couple of days for your gun. and what if we increased the gun trafficing penality. just stuff like this couldnt hurt. no gun legeslation could hurt. its the lack of it that kills people.
1) I think there should be background checks and someone who has ever done time should be denied and someone who has chronic mental illness should be denied.

2) You cannot limit the availability of these guns; if you do fully-autos will flood the black market and become even easier to get than the civilian clones of guns such as the AK-47. Simplistic logic.

3) We do have gun legislation, anymore would be irrational, unreasonable and driven by emotion. So please stop with your appeals to emotion and weak attempts at logic.

It is logical to think that a ban on automatic weapons would somewhat effect their use in crime. i mean its common sense. but how much it affected it is low. i guess you got me. the AWB wasn't some awesome illegal-gun-usage ass kicker. but it was a step in the right derection.

ya but if you pass legislation banning said weapons wouldnt it be a little prudent to try and get rid of all the banned weapons. they could go and take away all the banned weapons. i mean if i made a gun illegal thats what i would do. but the cost and labor would be so high it just didnt peak the gov't's intrest. and dont talk down to me on grandfathering in this case it was laziness.


just stuff like this couldnt hurt. no gun legeslation could hurt. its the lack of it that kills people.
You know, taking away things such as warrents and miranda rights couldn't hurt either, after all its the lack of freedom on the part of law enforcement that allows terrorists to kill people.

You know nothing is safer than fascism. ha. and warrents and miranda rights have nothing to do with the 2nd ammendment. the founding fathers were geniuses. they worded it so carefully it could adapt to changing times. times now= no longer in fear of british retalition.


Please, spare us your superficial logic that has no basis in reality.

i'll try.

alot of useless legeslation gets passed. alot. like i said it can't hurt to have these laws. but try telling the few thousand people that didnt die that it was useless
Laws only apply to those people who are predisposed to follow them. Furthermore, the murder rate is not significantly high enough that we should just throw-out a Constitutionally guaranteed right.

any murder is high enough. if something can be done to slow it, it should be done.

all our lawmakers can do is give them the rules. its an entire different arguement when were talking about enforcing said laws.
No...it is the Liberal solution that when a law is not being enforced to enact new legislation. How about we try giving the existing laws a chance.

i would but there hasn't been an automatic weapon ban since 04.

Actually, your founding fathers were slave owners, Many Upper class Americans were deeply worried about the slave ban and a huge amount of the War effort was payed for by the plantations. So I know exactly what I'm talking about.

they were slave owners. but slowly every northern stated made it illegal and congess even passed the 1787 north-west ordinace act which made it illegal in the new states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. many founding fathers thought it would die out untill the cotton gin. then came The Slave Trade Compromise stopped slave imports after 1807. that made it llegal to import them. then there was the whole kansas and nebraska vote stuffing debocle. but you see the founding fathers tried to abolish it. if they supported it why would they make every man equal.

no you got yourself wrong. as long as you had owned the gun before the ban. after it you had to get the permits and shit to re-sale. it doesnt grandfather all guns manufactured before the ban. just the ones already owned. grandfathering is just the laziness of lawmakers, not wanting to go to everyone who owned the banned guns. if they even knew everyone who had one.

Because last time I checked, blood was NOT running in the streets the day it expired, as per some democrats predictions.

In 1999, the National Institute of Justice reported that trace requests for assault weapons declined 20% in the first calendar year after the ban took effect, dropping from 4,077 in 1994 to 3,268 in 1995. Over the same time period, gun murders declined only 10% and trace requests for all types of guns declined 11 percent, clearly showing a greater decrease in the number of assault weapons traced in crime.

"Murders of police by offenders armed with assault weapons declined from an estimated 16 percent of gun murders of police in 1994 and early 1995 to 0 percent in the latter half of 1995 and early 1996. "

You can't even really compare both. The Germans went on mass genocide, killing millions.

He is more of comparing situations. the south had a heritage of hate, discrimantion, and of course slavery. not exactly something a normal person of decent respect for their heritage would glamorise. the germans had a similarly hated heritage. they just did the right thing and let it pass.

In the 1800's and before then, slavery was a common thing. And where did they get the slaves from? They got them from Africans in Africa who had Africans as slaves.

Why would Britain more side with the South?

Basically. 1940's: Mass Genocide = Bad. Slavery = Bad.
1800's: Mass Genocide = Bad. Slavery = Common.

During the years we had slavery an estimated nearly 10,000,000 african slaves reached the western hemisphere. sounds almost biblilcal right. these are people forced into slavery or death. that doesnt seem pleasent. maybe you undermind some of the history of the jews. like centuries of slavery.

Proboly none of the KKK members know that there were ideas to make black regiments for the CSA because even the blacks in that time felt the same as the whites. That the north was bossing them around and telling them how to run there lives.

o god just beacuse you hear of some extremely radical, obviously confused, black rebel in the tabloids doesnt mean the civil war was some big conspiracy by the north to keep the south in line. slavery was rampent in the south and black people didnt embrace that.

The idea just never got of the ground because it was to late in the war for any black regiments to be formed. Remember the saying "Heritage not Hate".

all these soldiers who kill in iraq come home as murderers, not heros.

"hey i killed about 20 iraqie soldiers" < murderer

go pee!
You're a douchebag. They are not murderers, nor they are heroes. They are REAL MEN. They have fought for their country. If you don't respect those people, you need to get shot.

This is where most people lose their way. they are murderers. just beacuse they kill in the name of their country doesnt mean all is forgivin. Sure "god" had battles and waged war but his battles, if they ever happened, were against evil. Not for the gain of one country over another. This is the classic american mindset though. it is our job to do god's work.

There was no avg. you ignorant fuck. you insult me and the art of debate when you dont even look at my sourses.

Ok that doesnt seem bad too you Here is a better look at all the deaths. 65228 isnt near civil war standards. it is a massacare. We only lost 2.500 that day, that is the most civilan causiltes we've seen.
In our civil war, in the Battle of Antietam (sp?), we had over 22,000 in 1 day.

22000 soliders. people who faught because they signed up to do so. im talkin 65000 inocent women and children. you are just getting defensive. losing ground maybe. I guess to your standards 9/11 wasnt bad. just a walk in the park.


Im sry Memorize you have been caught with your thumb up your ass.
*sigh*, Do I have to deal with another stupid ass who can't read?

Idk what your saying. but it must be beacuse you just lost and you cant deal with it. please just becuase you have senority doesnt mean you can just throw around insults like its the general. please have some dignity.
