We have policies. We have laws. You're trying to make inanimate objects the cause for your statistics. That takes away the responsibility of the individuals who used those inanimate objects. Removing all alcohol from the immediate vicinity of an alcoholic doesn't stop him from being an alcoholic.

WRONG. Your opening post is about gun deaths; now you're attempting yo change the parameters to make your numbers work.

First thing that pops to mind is "fleeing to the mountains" from Matthew 24. But personally, I think that's a stretch.

"Lost"? Consider right to privacy, 4th Amendment. Traffic cameras, NSA phone listening, gunshot microphones, FBI and other agency insistence on "back door" capability to monitor emails, and more. While not completely "lost," definitely eroded.

Oh, I understand what you meant; that's why I said "in context of my reply to RD2"....

Is there a point to this, in context of my reply to RD2?

I believe it was Patton who said, "don't die for your country; make your enemy die for his." (paraphrased) Lesson being: if I die for my home, who's left to protect my family? In Ephesians 5-6, where do I see a place called home given the same -- or higher -- priority than my wife, children...

The first time I read the OP, I didn't respond because I couldn't figure out what the point of the article was. I think Targus nailed it.

Things haven't changed a whole lot in the middle east, especially when you get away from the cities. This is a picture of a typical toilet in Afghanistan: http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z135/edmondlau/Afghanistan/PC020161.jpg. Yes, it's basically a hole in the ground. There is no flushing...

I'm hoping John will answer. Why does it matter? If the answer is, you're trying to prove to someone that it was okay to drink wine because the water was bad; well, good luck with that. Some folks, you can provide them proof all day long, and they're not gonna change their minds at all. Some...

Okay, serious question: Why does it matter?

(For clarity - I wasn't speaking to Rev. Adding my personal opinion)

Where I went to high school, "wetback" was what you called mexicans. Didn't matter whether they were legal, or how they got here; didn't care. Explain it away all you want; the term is racist.

In the two different lists provided on Page 2, the US didn't make the top 25, or the top 10. CTB, care to comment?

What? No Russia? Middle East countries? Or France, for that matter?

As a forum member might say: old, rich, white guy vs. old, rich, white guy....

But what you just described is two different issues, although related. The parents need to be accountable for what they did/didn't do while he was living with them, under their authority. The young man needs to be held accountable for his actions as an adult. Both need to be dealt with...

My Tapatalk apparently updated a couple of days ago, and now won't let me get into the Board. Been accessing via my phone browser. Seems like I recall someone else having this issue a few months back. Anyone know of a resolution?

And yet, they'll tell you they're tracking a glove in orbit...something that small, but we keep missing these meteors....

Meh. Rev's was funnier. :tongue3:
