I wasn't aware you ever left your arm chair... Seriously, I may respect your opinion, but cultured and enlightened aren't words I would use. It was a joke, hence the emoticon.

When it comes to abortion, since it has become legal in the US the abortion rates have gone down and continue to go down. I think that by making abortion legal it allowed those seeking abortion at medical clinics instead of backrooms with hangers can get better counseling and advice thus make better decisions for themselves and the unborn child. If abortion was to become illegal again I can see abortions, and botched abortions, increase. There aren't many Christian types I respect, but the ones like Blank is those I do. Agree with, no. Respect, yes.

Now now, Krezy, not everyone is as enlightened and cultured as I am.

Really? Prove it.

I never offered any proof. I simply said I know God exists. You can believe me or not believe me. Knowing and believing that God exists does not equal worshiping the damn bastard.

I am saying that the theory of communism will never because of human nature.

History has shown army defections as far more vital to revolutions against unjust governments than poorly trained paramilitary ****heads. I can't argue against that. However, army defections that can use militias and absorb them into their structure can become stronger.

American "freedom" didn't exist when the country was founded. It was an "ideal." Should we not have fought the revolutionary war because "we should only go by what is real?" You can fight for "ideals," but the "ideal" will never manifest because humans are a less than ideal species.

You have your interpretation, and I have mine. I'll use mine, thank you so very much.

I don't go by ideals. I only go by what is real. In an ideal world with butterflies and bunnies no one would ever die, and we all be happy as gumdrops. First and foremost this is not an ideal world. Ideal forms of communism and capitalism do not exist. I look at what does exist and only that which exists, Obbie.

Lets take a look at it shall we. "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." A regulated militia, not necessary ran by the state, but in order maintain the security and freedom of that State. If the freedoms and security of the people of that State are infringed by the Federal Government then it is the right of that militia to fight the Federal government. The second part of the amendment states that we, the people of this country, have the right to keep and bear arms. That right SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

I am not the one resorting to personal attacks which usually means the one making such attacks don't have a real argument in the first place. If you are so smart name one nation that is communistic that has all the freedoms that a US citizen has. Show me how smart you are, Obbie. Just name one.

If the Federal Government tries to take away our freedoms detailed in the Bill of Rights then there will be militias out their that will fight it and every freedom loving American should support them. I will not give up a single freedom that I have without a fight to the death. If a government fails its people then it is the right of the people to take out that government by whatever means necessary.

My examples of why Communism is bad are China, North Korea, and the Soviet Union. They are oppressive authoritarian governments that gave little thought of freedom and human rights to the people they govern. Read up on the Tienanmen Square Massacre, sometime Obbie.

Because it is our right to protect ourselves from anyone who seeks us harm. Even the government. That is the purpose of the Second Amendment.

A firearm is just a tool. If a person hellbent on murder didn't have a firearm he would use a different tool. A bat, a knife, or even a spork if needed. Do not blame the tool. Blame the one using the tool.

If you don't like how some developers and publishers make their games then don't buy from them. Problem solved.

A nation that cannot stand on its own is a nation that doesn't deserve to stand at all. If the US is so bad and so evil, then it is the right of the nations that it has caused harm to return it in kind. If they aren't strong enough to do so then that is their own fault. I am concerned with my rights, my freedoms. Not the Iraqis. Let the Iraqi government take care of the Iraqis, or vice versa.

You are the one in la-la land thinking that Communism is a good thing, LoF, when all evidence shows otherwise.

If extremist Muslims don't want their prophet look like a guy with a bomb strapped to him maybe they should stop strapping bombs to themselves, blowing them and innocents up in his name. Terrorists are a bunch of cowards and bullish thugs.

It was at its start which set its precedent for such matters. Communism is the enemy of freedom, LoF. Always have been and always will.

Imminent Domain is not an instant affair, LoF. It takes months and months of red tape and even then once it is complete it is no guarantee that US government gets the property, and if they do they are forced to pay a fair price for the land. These aren't show trials at all, LoF. Nice try, you lose again.

You can believe me or not. I am not going to try to convince you one way or another. That is your choice.

And you get BOOOKU renegade points.

You have a point there, but there are local charities that do help to keep child from being abused in the first place. One that is very active on that front is Youth Shelter Services, YSS, here in Iowa. I just do not trust international or even national charities all that much. The money tends to go elsewhere, like beaurocratic nonsense, than those who need to most. Not saying that all large charities are like that but one bad apple ruins the wheel barrel.
