  A Nut or Criminals Will Always Find A Way To Kill Or Hurt Someone If They Want To

  for the record, i don't think a person should be able to use "assault weapons" or "machine guns" or "rocket launchers".

  i do think guns should be allowed.

  but certainly not everyone is "qualified" to use a firearm.. even if you legally, rightfully can have a weapon, it doesn't mean that a "kook" wouldn't steal it and use it in a nefarious way.. i am convinced that you could take licenses away from drinkers and they still could get behind the wheel and wreak havoc.. you could ban switchblades and gun silencers and people will still find a way to quickly slice you up or muffle a sound.. you could ban or try to curtail cough medicines and people will still find a way to get high.. we cannot, government cannot---control what people will do.

  Jwoods: "I thought he used two semi-automatic pistols to do the shooting and left the rifle in his car."

  No, he used the Bushmaster. Up to 11 bullets in every body.

  this is a melancholy day for me.

  over the past few years i have been studying american politics and have enjoyed learning perspectives from different ideologies.

  i personally lean towards conservative values when it comes to creating legislature, however i am socially liberal.

  How Many Friends Did You Lose Over This Election?

  i lost one, and i am saddened by it.

  i may disagree with friends over politics and/or religion, but the only reason i would cut off a friend is if they betrayed me.

  anyone else lost friends or cut off friends because of politics or religion?.

  BOTR: "For some reason, not yet clear, Romney truly believed he would win."

  I thought that was strange, too. Here's a link that explains it pretty well.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/08/mitt-romney-lost-election_n_2095013.html?ir=Politics

  "CBS reports that the campaign was unprepared for this in part because it had ignored polling that showed the races favoring Obama. Instead, it turned to its own internal "unskewed" polls, which it believed more accurately reflected the situation on the ground. They didn't."

  They were living in a delusional FOX news kinda world.

  Friends - zero. Acquaintances = one.

  I have laughed off or ignored all of this guy's ridiculous political posts for years, but the day after the election, he posted something about how only Republicans work and they support 50% of the country and I found it so offensive that I quietly unfriended him. I work too hard to have to read that bullshit, especially after I've dragged my tired ass out of bed to go support my family.

  These aren't movies I've intentionally watched over and over again, but if I'm switching channels and they're on and even though I know what's going to happen next, I can't switch away.

  Galaxy Quest

  In the Line of Fire

  Panic Room

  Moulin Rouge

  Sound of Music

  C.H.U.D. (lol, but true)

  @elderelite: Well said

  @tec: You wrote a book? I'd like to hear about it. If you've already talked about it on the board and don't want to again, please pm me.

  To the OP: I think I prefer the term "taken for granted" to doormat. It's less noun-y and doesn't conjure images of feet, mud and bad holiday graphics. I've absolutely been taken for granted by certain people in my life, but instead of throwing a pity party, I stood up for myself and changed my situation.

  why, he even has gone to some meetings at their kingdom hall!

  someone calls with a large wedding tent that they would like to donate and set up in the kingdom hall parking lot for the public memorial on friday.

  i was amazed how people who came that didnt even know whitney, but simply felt a need to be here and comfort the family.

  Some very acute observations on this thread. It's so obvious that people are taking literature and starting bible studies because they feel terrible about what happened to Whitney.

  Here's something I've been wondering about: if Holt hadn't murdered Whitney, but "only" sexually assaulted her, do you think she'd be in trouble with the elders for not screaming and trying to get away at the gas station?

  Why, thank you. Have you heard of them? Fred and Kate, I mean.

  I'm also related to the Gregersons somehow, by marriage and multiple times removed, I'm sure. That shite was also a very traumatic time of my childhood, though I didn't completely understand it at the time.
