See here you're asking not only BF to think, you're asking him how to he actually deal with all the cases DNA has proven the prosecution wrong. Perhaps what the real question is why a liberal like you needs to seek the truth to the end while the conservative needs only the appearance of justice? Th...

Bah, most Americans think highly of the French.

The type who sway with the wind shouldn't count.

Well, I'm part French, as well as Anglo and Celtic (quite the mutt eh?), so I guess I'm biased...

BF, the documents, if they still exist, will just be destroyed. It's all about who gains, and I don't think anyone gains from undermining FDR. Besides, the neocons like to use Pearl Harbor as a club to beat "isolationists" with: if we don't bomb others throughout the world, they'll bomb us, or so th...

Erssa, if you ask an American why we entered, he'll often say "because Hitler was killing the Jews." Americans are clueless. Though, after reading this claim that race is nothing but skin color over and over, I can't say I see Europeans as being any better. If we can create breeds of dogs and if in ...

Erssa, you and your confounded logic haha (meaning "damned" logic, in other words you're right.) Well, judging by conflicts among ethnic groups of other lands, I ought to be concerned at least... What if the US developed tensions similar to those found in Iraq or Kosovo 10 years ago? In S Africa, te...

Trip, I started typing a reply to your other posts, but it got off topic really quick. I'll send you a PM this evening. I promise I'll try to not bite. Actually I'd misread you. And indeed that was why I called you indirectly a crazy government power worshiper, in an attempt at pointing out that th...

Erssa, there's another facet too as I mentioned before: due to America's diversity, and in this sense Toronto is probably the same, a gun ban would have difficulty applying equally to all groups. As a result, some groups would tend to have guns while others wouldn't, and this is what scares me most....

I wonder about folks who say racial composition isn't an issue... I wonder if they speak from experience. I live in a very black area, like Bluefront, and know of other black areas throughout the state. All who disagree though are excluded by claims of bias, just as qviri excluded those of us who de...

Neil writes that it is more difficult to stab than to shoot, but I must question that. When I hold a gun, I sense the power of it and am humbled by it. I think it'd be far easier for me to stab someone than to shoot someone, unless out of fear of my life. Upon picking up a gun, I think I'd come to m...

Qviri, Asians admittedly don't commit crimes as often when economically secure, they might even be less prone than Europeans. If you shipped in blacks, Latinos, or Muslims you'd see a similar crime rate though. I realise oversimplification is an issue, but demographics is about 90% of the problem. -...

Americans have more crime because of diversity... do I need to post the FBI crime statistics again on which group committs what percentage of crimes?

Comparing US gun fatalities to UK gun fatalities is apples to oranges.

BF, they'll eventually scrap the Constitution and write another. :shock: Wait, why is this shocking? It's not so much shocking as it is scary. The Constitution is about the only thing keeping the fed at bay, and Americans have currently been brainwashed into believing that it doesn't matter who mov...

LAThierry,

I haven't finished reading this thread and hadn't even seen your posts yet... I'll reply as soon as I've caught up, though heh this looks like a big discussion I've overlooked.

Take away the guns from the governments and criminals first, and I'll gladly give you mine.

Otherwise, the purpose of taking away guns is to use force against the newly defenseless people.

BF,

they'll eventually scrap the Constitution and write another.

The American basis is upon religion, that man has a God given natural right to bear arms. Is this what you're basing your claim upon? As based in the constitution, if there were religious motives behind the decision to allow the citizens to bear arms or not I’m not so sure, It’s been my underst...

I wouldn't go so far as to say a right It was viewed from an American perspective Trip in terms of the right to bear arms; the other mentioned applies for all of us on this beautiful planet of ours. Upon what basis? The American basis is upon religion, that man has a God given natural right to bear...

I wouldn't go so far as to say a right... Americans only have such a right because we have a government and society in general (that is to say a power) willing to defend it due to the second Amendment. There are no rights outside law and religion, and no religion I know of guarantees a right to bear...

So the republican you vote for today, may have been called a democrat a few years ago. Or in another part of the country, for that matter. A southern Democrat might be more conservative than a Boston republican, at least on some issues. The older, real Democrats though are dying out and retiring......

That's why it's no wonder people are turning towards left. If I'd have to choose between the two evils you have to choose from, bible bigots vs. socialists, I'd too choose the lesser evil, socialists. There aren't any more Bible bigots though... maybe 20% lean that way, but they're clueless. That's...

Oh, well what I meant really is that even the so called right isn't really right wing at all. Though what you point is also important, perhaps even more so: that folks who really just want to end abortion find themselves defending a war because it's "conservative" or vice versa with "liberals." So, ...

Bluefront, the problem isn't so much a group of "liberals" anymore. The problem is that most in the US have become liberals . The colleges and media put out left wing crap, and clueless Americans come to believe in it. This isn't a political problem but a cultural problem. There are no longer many c...

Well many of us who wish for gun rights in America don't much like guns, but we view the current US government as extremely dangerous. With McCain or Obama on the horizon, I'm terrified. I'm either going to move to the hills or out of the country. I see you've edited your post - earlier you were cl...

Nice Review. While i understand 120mm fan'd PSU's are "all the craze", couldnt you also get better cooling while keeping noise low by using an 80mm fan mounted on the front of the psu, pushing air over the components and then out the back? Yes, I think so, but people and companies usually move like ...

In sparsely populated areas, which includes much of the US, guns are undoubtedly useful for defense, especially in areas where illegal aliens roam in the South West. --- If Putin was to announce he was disarming all of Russia, the West would cry out that he was seeking to remove the last few barrier...

Regarding taking away guns, can't they be made from scratch fairly easily?

Just goes to show that if more people had had guns there, they could have shot him earlier and thus saved lives. Well-trained, responsible men ought to be armed. To an extent I agree with you, although some people would probably coin me a leftist (American "liberal"), I would probably carry if I li...

Thanks I wouldn't put it quite into the conspiracy category though, more common ideology or dominant paradigm. He meant it more as: the end result is they're all very similar globalists, but a conspiracy doesn't necessarily have to exist for such.

Andy,

a friend of mine just penned this: The Archaeology of Globalism. I figured you'd find it amusing if ignorant, outdated, and wrong

I'll catch up with the rest of the thread shortly.
