 If he wouldn't have even had access to something semi-automatic...if the only thing on the market for us folks would have been some traditional sort of gun that required much reloading and shot less than his did in that amount of time...he wouldn't have gotten away with killing that many people.

restricting the availability of semi-automatic weapons is definitely a valid viewpoint, but if you don't know what you're talking about then you do more harm than help, and feed the NRA stereotypes of liberal morons looking to take away all their guns

Betty's mistake is quite common and easily forgivable when the person has an open mind to learning more about the subject. It's a simple mistake to make. I'm with Hoya on this one though Betty has it right about the other stuff. Everyone is always trying to blame someone other than the one who committed the crime.
 
 Now Sonick and Rhett are total morons. It's their type of thinking that continually contributes to the constant erosion of our Constitutional rights. Ironically, as much as they both whine, they will be the very first ones complaining about some right being taken away. Maybe very validly so but without the comprehension of how they themselves helped to contribute to it's demise.     :roll:    
 
 Rhett, you are one greasy, sleazy bastard. You know damn well what you said and how the Constitution protects your rights to say so. Without them, the overly PC crowd would make what you said a crime, regardless of what you meant.

PSA: the hellenistic greeks had sex with little boys and kept slaves!!  should we disregard their contributions to society?

Don't you have some investigative work to do on UFO's or the JFK conspiracy?   :p

You have nothing constructive to defend yourself so you pull out the old attack card.
 
 Might I suggest that you go do some remedial Civics and US History lessons on our Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

SWAT teams are pretty useless in defending against most sudden violent acts; they are intended for imminent and stand-off situations. While a SWAT team could have been deployed between the dorm and Norris Hall shootings, there was no way that the Norris shootings could have been anticipated. If the dorm shootings had looked like more than a domestic dispute (e.g. more victims) then perhaps a lock-down would have been implemented and a SWAT team deployed.

Before you criticize the US, take a look at your own miserable annals of oppression.

In 1787, two days before their work was done, the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention �??adjourned to a tavern for some rest, and according to the bill they drank 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 of whiskey, 22 of port, 8 of hard cider and 7 bowls of punch so large that, it was said, ducks could swim around in them. Then they went back to work and finished founding the new Republic.�?�
 
 Note the 55 delegates and 54 bottles of Madeira. Which founder was slacking?

THAT. JUST. BLEW. MY. MIND.
 
 i love how people use this puerile crap as a rhetorical argument, assuming that no one has ever thought about the contradictions of our founding fathers, and using them to discredit whatever they're looking to attack [/b]

i'm not looking to attack anything.  it was just something i thought about the other day and it seemed slightly relevant to this conversation, excuse the snot out of me!!!

thanks for stating your opinion of me. i'll hold off on stating mine of you. and how was i whining?  just making an observation!  and please try to note that i posted that at 4 in the morning!
 
 was what i said not true? if so, please correct me as i didnt grow up in this country and if i have it all wrong, let me know!
 
 and lastly, i moved to this country voluntarily and have made quite an effort to stay here.  i never said that i hated the founding fathers...i just dont see why they are looked at as such great humans....i think of them more like great businessmen, and this country as a huge company!

Dr. Burke, president of the American Historical Reference Society and a consultant for the Smithsonian Institute, counted seven early presidents as cannabis smokers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor and Franklin Pierce. "Early letters from our founding fathers refer to the pleasures of hemp smoking," said Burke. Pierce, Taylor and Jackson, all military men, smoked it with their troops. Cannabis was twice as popular among American soldiers in the Mexican War as in Vietnam: Pierce wrote to his family that it was "about the only good thing" about that war.
 
 Washington & Jefferson were said to exchange smoking blends as personal gifts. Washington reportedly preferred a pipe full of "the leaves of hemp" to alcohol, and wrote in his diaries that he enjoyed the fragrance of hemp flowers. Madison once remarked that hemp gave him insight to create a new and democratic nation. Monroe, creator of the Monroe Doctrine, began smoking it as Ambassador to France and continued to the age of 73.

jaguar is always right though.  and i have found lately that as long as you can do two things:
 
 a) articulate your posts in a fashion that no one can twist them around to mean something else
 
 and
 
 b) be able to twist other peoples posts around to make it mean something it obviously was not intended to mean
 
 then you can be right all the time, too!
