I think that most of the problems in the US stem from drug abuse, from CarJacking, Murder, to child abuse. I think it's wrong to associate gun violence just on guns alone, most LEGAL gun owners are responsible, careful lawful people who would never gun down their neighbor or shoot kids at school. The United States has always had the right to bear arms, and not since the wild west days has it been so bad, but is it the problem of guns and bullets, or is it a much tougher issue at hand. Would there be a need for violence if there were tougher laws for those who commit crimes? Death sentence for drug dealer? I am for more strict laws FOR CRIMINALS not for law abiding citizens who make sure that every gun they purchase is legal, and enjoys our rights given to use by the constitution, however for those who choose to pick up a gun and use it to harm and break the law then we as a society should punish those who choose the wrong way. For those of you in other countries who think criminals can just walk in to a gun store in the US and just buy a pistol and go commit a crime, think about this most criminals who commit gun crimes do not use legal guns, they buy dirty guns on the street, they steal weapons because legally purchased guns can and will be traced back to them. Now if there were strict law on possesion and sale of stolen weapons maybe the crime rate would fall, but we are a society stained by drug abuse, most rual areas are now known for meth production, there is no longer feeling that small towns remind one of the good old days, at least not for me. My feeling is that most crimes can be traced back to addition.

Baby Got Back lyrics [Intro] Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt. It is so big. *scoff* She looks like, one of those rap guys' girlfriends. But, y'know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff* They only talk to her, because, she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay? I mean, her butt, is just so big. *scoff* I can't believe it's just so round, it's like, out there, I mean - gross. Look! She's just so ... black! [Sir Mix-a-Lot] I like big butts and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste And a round thing in your face You get sprung, wanna pull up tough 'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed Deep in the jeans she's wearing I'm hooked and I can't stop staring Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha And take your picture My homeboys tried to warn me But with that butt you got makes Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin You say you wanna get in my Benz? Well, use me, use me 'Cause you ain't that average groupy I've seen them dancin' The hell with romancin' She's wet, wet, Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette I'm tired of magazines Sayin' flat butts are the thing Take the average black man and ask him that She gotta pack much back So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!) Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!) Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!) Shake that healthy butt! Baby got back!

Why the end is sooo close! Latest illogical JW logic
by Quandary inan elder mentioned yesterday in casual conversation how the end must be close 'because this is the first time in human history that a black man will probably be president of the us.
all other forms of government have had their day, now that a black man will be president, the angels, mankind and satan cannot claim that jehovah didn't give every possible chance for humans to make it without his rulership'.
almost verbatim!

Warning!! Fake Lotto Scam
by Wordly Andre inmy grandma has been getting these letters in the mail that she won some kind of canadian lotto, yesterday she received a check in the mail for $3,900.00, looks like a real, official check however the letter then goes on to explain that she must pay international tax of $2,000.00 and gives instructions on how to wire the money to pay the international tax, and if she does the full ammount of the winnings will be sent to her.
thank god my grandma called be just before she went to the bank, it took awhile to convince her that it was a scam because she said the letter looked so official and she even called the phone number listed on the letter, i told her that if she deposited the check in her account it will take a few days for the bank to catch it but the check will be returned and she will have to pay back the money.
please let all your older ones know about this, i looked it up online and it's called the canadian/ spanish lotto scam.

by nurse09 ini am new to this board.
i have looked on for some time now and decided to join.

In my New American bible it reads:
For the Lord Himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and withe the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
But if you read starting from the begining it's talking about Hope for the christian dead, doesn't mention anything about Jesus being Micheal the Archangel
and if you continue to read it also says: then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord
that doesn't sound like just 144,000 now does it?
so how can JW's twist one thing and disregard another
