"a 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled over her shoulder, according to arizona authorities.

another reason to go against those arguing that young children should be taught how to use guns.

Apparently the little girl was looking to join the Israeli army?

I'm sure this vacation destination was all her idea.

Yay!!! All sound interesting! Except maybe that NCLEX business..........

Hi Sooner!

I just finished "The Devil in the Marshalsea". Picked it on a whim, but turned out to be just fantastic!

Now reading "River of Darkness Francisco Orellana's legendary voyage of death and discovery down the amazon". Good so far.

800 Infant Bodies Found in a Septic Tank at Roman Catholic Children's Home

by cofty in

796 infant skeletons have been found discarded in a septic tank at the former mother and baby home run by the catholic church in ireland between 1925 and 1961.. unwed mothers were sent these "magdelene asylums" to be treated like criminals.

their babies - if they survived - were taken from them.

if they did not survive their bodies were thrown into a septic tank and forgotton.

Another strong argument for the seperation of Church and State.

Why do Christian nations think they can assimilate Muslims into their communities , does Islam attempt to assimilate Christians in their communities ?

by smiddy in

islam /muslims today are what christianity was centuries ago , the two beleif systems are like oil and water , not to be mixed .

christians are not tolerated spreading their infectious disease amongst muslims, in islamic countrys , and harsh penalties apply for them doing so in muslim countries , including the death penalty.

stonings , whippings etc.. on the other hand christian nations are very tolerant of muslim extremists who incite hatred and violence on their own territory , and they get a slap on the wrist and say dont do it again .

I haven't read the entire thread, but it seems that the OP is forgetting one of the most important aspects of this discussion. Government. Theocracies. In the not too distant past we had Christian Theocracies in Europe. Some very ugly shit went down in the name of "God". That is the essential problem today. Frankly if the Religious Right in America were to achieve complete control I have no doubt we would see similar attrocities.

How exactly you and your income are being affected by inequality.

by cognisonance in

i found this link really interesting: inequality.is and associated with the excellent robert reich documentary: inequality for all.. .

If you tax the top earners too much, who is going to open the new businesses to employ people? Read Atlas Shrugged.

Can you show any evidence that this theory holds up in reality?

When you take away people's insentive, things don't get better.

What insentives? Which people?

If capital gains were raised I would invest less of my money. Less money going into investments ( new resturants, drugs, hospitals, stores) not good. Why are people mad when other people work really really hard and are sucessful ? Alot of those people give people jobs.

How and where do you invest your money, and why would you invest less? These lower gains rates are rather new, yet people have always invested when able. Why do you equate a more reasonable capital gains rate to people being "mad"? How is earning off of investments "working really hard"?

Great Music

by Berengaria in

it appears that many of the best music threads have been purged.

i can't imagine the formula that would eliminate such wonderousness while preserving "involuntary muscular contractions", but so it is.. the first offering.
