Road rage, domestic violence, stupid fights over stupid things. People are so busy and pre occupied nowadays they get caught up in the moment. Lord help us :angelwings:

What ever the case, your opinions or mine (24 vs 1) you love your country and I love mine.
At the end of the day some poor worker got shot by some low life, hope she/he has a speedy recovery.


God Bless and no hard feelings.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

As I said, most of the world hates us but they love our mulitary help, food, cash and whatever else we give them.  There has been a lot of good true things pointed out here, by Americans who know and live here.  Sure, there is bias in what Carl and the rest of the world see.  All the crap the news media, Hollywierd, and so on spread, thank God most Americans are not like the dumbass that shot through the drive through, for example or the orhers comparable to him.  I believe the biggest part of our country have sense and appreciate the right to protect or defend themself, and wouldn't shoot enyone unless they were really forced to do so.  There are many reasons, as have been stated here, for our rights.  Recently, Africa has been disarmed, many people lost their business and livelihood, and crime went high.  For some reason they have been haveing a huge slaying of Christians over there.  Look at how crime in Britan, Austraillia and other places who lost gun rights has risen big!  A well armed malita, the people who live here, is needed for freedom and personal safety.  Especially when our millitary is spread all out over the world!  God Bless Them, when people hear and talk about this great country, they should carefully consider the source of info, and talk to some of us who live here before they decide and think they know.  Also compare the size of population, has a lot to do with how things are!  People should teach kids better, it sucks that a few people that shoot needlesly and just act plain stupid, along with the crap from Hollywierd, the media and other world officials that the world sees, is supposed to be example of us?!  BS, that is not what this great country is all about.  God Bless Yall

I am licensed to carry a firearm but as bigblock4speedman said, I hope that I never have to use it. I would without pause if I or my family were in danger of their life but I would never be the same person again  knowing that I had to end a life.
Carl,I appreciate your input on this subject and with any matter it is good to hear both sides of the discussion. We may not agree on some things but keep your ideas coming, you seem to be wise beyond your years. :2thumbs:

Thanks 71R/T, too kind mate.  :cheers:

I can see how guns would be a great defence weapon especially if the scum "attacking/robbing" had a projectile weapon of his/her own. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you have guns, which is good for you guys (I guess?) but if you have them in 1 in every 10 houses or what ever it maybe then you shouldn't be so surprised to hear about the numerous gun related incidents and deaths you have, that's all. I guess you could call it a catch 22.

I personally don't know one person up here that has a hand gun in their house.   I didn't realize that many people had their own gun for self defence...I thought it was a movie thing.  The only place I ever seen a hand gun was in a shooting range.   :dunno: My parents didn't even have a lock on their front door till about 5 years ago.   :roflsmiley:

  I really do not know how to categorize this story except that i wonder "What's this world coming to?" when mother/baby related tragedies such as this occur  :walkaway:  The tragedy is that this woman either was not aware, or decided to ignore Alabama's Safe Haven law. Other states have these laws as well.

  I know it's a fictional movie but the line from "Contact" with Jodie Foster just seems to sum things up. Something to the effect of...you (humans) are capable of such horrible nightmares and such wonderful accomplishments. So sad :'( :'(

Moore brags about how he "manufactures" information to suit his world view. If anyone saw "Roger and Me" (not recommended, but I had to watch it for a film class), there is a sequence in which he asks Bob Barker about his hatred for other races, and Barker gives very flippant answers. Problem is, Moore filmed himself asking different questions than what he filmed Barker answering. He did a similar thing for his 9-11 movie; he actually had a print shop make up a newspaper with a false headline that he pawned off as real.

Think about him what you will, but Moore is not a journalist. More of a parasite.

I watched Bowling for Colombine, interesting film. The part I remember is a 10 year old kid walking into Walmart and buying 2 full bags of ammunition....he had a good point there and Walmart actual changed their policy.

The rest of the film I don't really remember, but I read about all the BS is puts in his movies.
