Paulus Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 3 minutes ago, Justice said: Care to elaborate? I think there most certainly is an issue with Islam being used as a tool by radicals, at least during this segment of history. Further, like Catholicism in the Dark Ages it is being heavily used as a way to govern without borders. And, to spread middle-eastern influence into American politics. It is a religion that has co-opted kids to commit brutal crimes throughout the world, for decades now. Therefore, it does deserve some sort of oversight. I know it is not politically correct to say, but it is something we can all acknowledge is supported by fact. Still, that does not mean other religions do not suffer from those who would wish to pervert the world. The sick family who chained their kids up in California, the ones who use religion as a way to justify child rape, the cults that recruit people in and effectually keep them slaves (as alleged against scientology and even in your run-of-the-mill cult), the list could go on forever. That said, having the parents just take their kid to a non-radical, normal church just to socialize in a positive way would benefit them all. For that matter, I would also suggest sports being available to ALL students. Like the little league baseball we all played before some kids started getting cut in Junior High. Yeah, some kids suck, but keeping them from extracurricular activities is a diservice to society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Korea is a concept, an inanimate object incapable of doing anything with nuclear weapons. North Korea is run by people. More to the point, it's run by a person known to be a murderer. If you frame the premise correctly, you see it's inherent ridiculousness: "Kim Jong Un should have nukes because nukes don't kill people. People kill people." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That person is taking a slogan based on private, individual gun ownership and constitutional rights and applying it to something entirely different: thermonuclear warfare. In my opinion it's worth nothing more than a place on a cheesy bumper sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you frame the premise correctly, you see it's inherent ridiculousness: "Kim Jong Un should have nukes because nukes don't kill people. People kill people." Same can be said about guns. They’re owned by people. Some of those people use them to kill. Now please. Don’t take this the wrong way. I support the 2nd Amendment even though I hate guns. I own a grocery store in the “hood” and have been held up once in 25 years. We didn’t have a gun that day and as it turns out it’s probably better we didn’t. We got lucky. Nobody got hurt. I do believe that having one and trying to use it probably would’ve been worse, but I understand why some would want one. Having said that I think Palestine is a perfect example of gun control going right. It’s rare that an Israeli gets shot and if guns were readily available it most certainly would happen on the regular. Occasionally Palestinians break into settlements and kill people with a knife and you can’t stop that, but it would definitely be far worse if they had guns. 4 minutes ago, Azalin said: That person is taking a slogan based on private, individual gun ownership and constitutional rights and applying it to something entirely different: thermonuclear warfare. In my opinion it's worth nothing more than a place on a cheesy bumper sticker. I like this response best so far and that’s exactly how I feel. I didn’t post that statement because I support it. I don’t. I honestly couldn’t rebut it when I seen it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer honestly and then tell me how you having a gun in your house is called protecting yourself....FROM WHAT? I was away from home one summer and my roommate had to use a gun to repel a hammer wielding burglar. Granted, he wasn't carrying a gun, but I don't think any of us is getting in line to go toe to toe unarmed against someone with armed with hammer.
