  ive had to make statements like this too many times.

  communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times.

  once again, communities [were harmed] because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no problem getting their hands on a gun.. lets be clear: at some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.

  "The ridiculous number of guns that are around and the most dangerous, those poorly stored and secured, could be easily controlled.....
  

  Make people liable.

  If your weapon is used to kill someone then the family of that person can sue the legal owner of it. So that person will lose everything or else they need some hefty insurance. Insurance will be cheaper if you have adequate safeguards on someone taking your weapon but won't pay out if it was just left in your purse."

  i have no problem with that idea at all.

  since the day pope francis told catholics to stop obsessing about abortion and gay marriage, and get to the business of helping the poor, i have been afraid for his life.. in one statement, he pierced 2 sacred cows of catholic and evangelical thought, and he has not stopped.. he has lectured the world on real evils, mentioning capitalism in particular as a system that has left billions in desperate poverty.. he has now said that global warming threatens the world, particularly the poor, and is calling on the world to change it's lifestyle to save the planet.. i can't remember ever, in my entire life, when someone in as powerful a position as the pope, actually speaks out loud and in public the actual truth of the world's environment and calling the world to action, without regard for the consequences.. hard line catholics don't like him; fox news hates him, one pundit telling him to leave science to the scientists (of course, fox news doesn't leave global warming to the scientists) and today this from greg gutfield, fox news:.

  "the most dangerous person on the planet is someone who is seeking strange new respect from their adversaries.

  and that is what the pope is doing, said gutfeld, implying that the recognition of the existence of man-made climate change is fundamentally at odds with catholicism.

  i just got a call from a friend who informed me that a brother whom i've known for a while and is an elder, just found out last night that his wife of 20+ years declared she was gay, and left him..

  i still need to confirm but my friend is very reliable and was close friends with the family.

  heres the thing, she spent 20+ years with this man, has children with him and now decides she wants to follow her heart.

  I admit there was a certain tounge in cheek quality to my post but a part of me truly does susspect my wife is a lesbian, or at least bisexual. It would be great if true and she could admit it.

  I differ from others on the emasculating effect of such an admision though. It wouldnt bother me at all. Why would her sexuality, what she finds arousing, reflect on me or my worth as a person or even a man? If i find women with large breasts arousing does that diminish the worth of smaller breasted women...? Of course not. Much of what we find attractive is hard wired. We simply have no control. If thats the maner shes or i or anyone else is hard wired, Thor bless you and be happy.

  Just stop wasting my time.

  Its funny you mention california and gun violence. California is one of the most restrictive states in the USA with regard to gun ownership laws and near the top gun of violence. Same for chicago. Same for washington DC. Could it be that super restrictive gun laws dont actually work? Could it be that criminals dont actually obey laws....?

  I both present ID, go through backround checks, a 3 hour gun owner education class and a 7 day waiting period.

  noone has to show id to vote. Its a false equilivantcy and strawman argument

  I appreciated the fact that he could take time out of his busy golf schedule to politize the deaths of 9 people

  this is such a shame.

  i've always thought about things like this happening because of how crazy some people are, especially in regards to religion.

  Actually now that i think about it, the father will be charged if nothing else under federal stawman purchase laws. Its illegal to purchase a firearm for a convicted fellon.

  Richard Dawkins talking about a Creator

  by FusionTheism in

  richard dawkins admitted that information inside of dna, and the origin of life on earth, might point to intelligent designers, perhaps extraterrestrials.

  (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boncjbrrdq8 )richard dawkins further admitted, in a debate with francis collins for time magazine, that science might point to a creator existing, but that this creator might not be anything like yahweh:.

  time: "could the answer be god?
