777 - would you please clarify who you were responding to? Because it seems you addressed some of my questions--but you've totally misunderstood me. I absolutely do NOT believe the cop is always wrong. In fact, I've argued on the side of law enforcement MANY times on this board. I've looked at...

Peter - how must one be saved?

Yeah, that pretty much blows my explanation out of the water.

Question: had the kid (I refuse to use "child" for a 17-year old) had any previous run-ins with law enforcement? The thing I can't reconcile is where the militia thing comes from. How do you get from "you flashed your lights at me" to "I was afraid he was calling for his militia buddies to come...

Physics. Head shot at close range causes the body to recoil. If the cop has lost enough self-control that he's just pulling the trigger, then he's continuing to fire as the body is falling away from him.

She may be referring to some states requiring homeschoolers to take standardized tests; some of those tests follow Common Core guidelines. But there seems to be the option of using the standardized test of your choosing. But as it currently stands, HSLDA doesn't seem to have anything showing...

Why did the officer pull the kid over for flashing him? Why didn't the kid comply with the officer's instructions? Officer went overboard, plain and simple. But the kid didn't help the situation. Mistakes made on both sides, compounding the situation, resulting in a (in my opinion) final bad...

Well, you obviously know NOTHING about homeschooling.

(Deleted after additional consideration)

Socialization is one of the most misunderstood things about homeschooling. You mentioned in another thread that you miss the summer camps; homeschool kids go to those. We actively sought out homeschool groups in the areas we've lived. My kids played sports through church, homeschool, and other...

Why would you want to incorporate Core Curriculum?

What's a "well timed pregnancy"? If the child needs a better life than you can give it -- how about giving it to a couple that can't have children, but want to give your child a better life than you could provide? (i.e., "adoption") "Not smart enough to use precautions" does not equal "not...

While you're correct about the true cause, re-read the opening post. This thread isn't turning into a gun blaming and shaming thread; it was started that way.

You're right, of course. If CTB had responded, I suspect he would have answered with "what does it matter?" (H. Clinton reference, BTW) To which I would have responded, because he doesn't know, he jumped the gun in making his comment. If the weapon was obtained illegally, then "far too easy to...

http://news.yahoo.com/5-old-boy-days-away-172740628.html This is NOT the first time pit bulls have killed a child. Why haven't they been banned? <sarcasm tag>

CTB - was the weapon purchased legally?

So EVERYONE who homeschools gets their 4th amendment rights revoked because of a few people?

How do you identify those individuals?

I would like to see that site.

Who would that be? Tapatalk doesn't show names with lines through them.
