I would have charged the parents with negligent manslaughter.

I'm not sure that any suffering "before" death would have mattered much in comparison to the indicated final reward he got.

It looks like it was indeed foreign nationals. That is at least some peace of mind, that Americans didn't do this to Americans. It will be interesting to find out the motive (once they verify it...

Another funny proclamation came from North Korea. Apparently they are willing to "talk" with us if and only if the United States eases the sanctions, agrees to no more joint exercises with South...

The ideal would be this horror (like so many others in the world) would never have happened in the first place. All we have is conjecture, of course, but if I had to choose between evils, the lesser...

I think that ship has sailed already. When something like this happens there are thousands upon thousands of rumors and problems at core center to deal with and investigators go through that...

We actually have lots of facts. We can't "hinder" the investigation because we aren't involved in it.

There is much discussion on the subject of whether or not the terrorist, cowards who bombed the Boston Marathon are foreign or domestic. Given the location and timing of the attack, it appears...

Again, you are mistaken. I'm not trying to be rude or snide. There is a difference between hype and dubious "reports" and what the Excecutive Branch can actually do. The Excecutive Branch doesn't...

I happen to believe, based on past history and what appears to be pretty reliable intelligence, that they are indeed bluffing. I think they are simply applying the tactics that have paid off for...

It is very much like a small, controlled version of that.

The assignment was interesting. Most assignments ask the students to put themselves in the shoes of the victim and the victim alone. This one required the students to look at an ugly picture and...

They can't force anything. They can choose not to enforce certain things, i.e. regulations simpy by allocating resources elsewhere. This happens frequently in regard to the immigration situation. ...

This depends entirely on what you define as "steps" since a sitting President in the United States has virtually no domestic power. They cannot make laws. All they can do is campaign to sway public...

I never stated if I agree or disagree with you. You weren't talking about anything to do with the topic at hand. This isn't about who went astray first. I have read all the posts and yours are...

I echo the sentiments of others here. What exactly do you mean by "provoke?" More importantly, what exactly is it that the U.S.A. doing that South Korea, Japan, Russia, and even China are not? I'm...

The first, clear indication that you cannot actually debate the topic at hand is to change it and start attacking the debaters. The topic of this thread, need I remind anyone, is gun control...

Actually, per the New Testament there is no such thing as an unforgivable sin. If you are Christian, and accept that Christ died for your sins, there is no sin which weighs heavier in the balance...

This is incorrect. President Obama has been campaigning for reform of the existing gun laws in an attempt to close loopholes to the universal background systems, restrict a wider variety of assault...

Sure. The government is legally allowed to monitor Churches (for political activity) in regard to their tax exempt status. The government is allowed to monitor and take the press and has all...

Again, you are missing the point. The Supreme Court has upheld, time and time again, that the government (both State and Federal) can regulate guns. That is why you can't have certain military...

You are missing the point. Well-regulated means regulations. It means the government can regulate how the arms are sold and distributed. That has no bearing on your right to bear them, only how...

Actually, the 2nd Amendment states that a well regulated militia is the basis of the right itself. The priviledge is to bear arms, i.e. to have them. It doesn't extend to beyond that. The text of...

Good. We are on the same page so far. It was always idiotic to create a background check system and give people a huge hole to bypass it with.



Ok. Let's review this shall we because are...

I think the lunatic who went on a stabbing spree is very compelling evidence for the argument that guns do need stricter regulation. What we saw demonstrated is the difference between a lunatic...
