The only demographic in America that reliably opposes abortion access is older men

The Romans dug it, but I’ve gotta disagree. Normalizing and numbing people to the effects of violence isn’t a good thing, especially for kids. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

The Romans dug it as entertainment and it was done to persons ( some not all ) who committed no other crime than being different from the people in charge. That is not what I'm proposing. I'm proposing we start showing kids what will happen to people who commit violence, that violence will be committed on them and we'll make damn sure it is worst than any bulling you went through in school.


I couldn't be more serious about this topic. It is my number one priority and nothing else even comes close. This violence against innocent people has got to stop and I don't see anybody proposing how we are going to accomplish the most important thing in life, to be free from violence.


Not a religious man here but I believe you will reap what you sow. I'm flat out sick and tired of this shit.

Always trying to twist statements. Always attacking other members. If that is your style, enjoy it. Originally Posted by VitaMan

But that's your style. Always shrink when questioned.

If God punishes you for that, try to enjoy it.

That’s why I placed him on ignore. I’ll put up with a lot of things, but intentionally changing statements in order to make himself seem right I just won’t entertain. Originally Posted by 1blackman1

I agree with you. This has to stop by ALL means necessary.

“Because it’s in the constitution” isn’t enough to justify the senseless killing in this country.

The best decision you ever made was to become a Canuck for 2 years, thereby allowing other posters in this forum to have a shot at winning the DOTY award.

But you could apply for a job at FOX. You would fit right in.

Funny how you're utterly incapable of defending yourself that way.

Not really. Science has not determined when life begins.

On the other hand, you can say science has determined there is no God or creator.

That means your life has no meaning.

Everything you have known...everyone you have met...your consciousness...is all an accident of nature.

Think about that the next time you want to tell someone how to run their life. Originally Posted by VitaMan

Or possibly, can't even understand the nuances.



Enjoy yourself.

And just for the record, perhaps the greatest scientist that ever lived, Einstein, believed in a Creator.


I'm agnostic and I believe that saying there is no God is as dumb as saying there is.
