    Re: Has anyone actually met Stephen King?

    Never have and hope I never do. He used to be an ENGLISH TEACHER. He'd take one look at me and just *know*.
  2. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Like I said, I'm no fan of Romney. I'm not seeing this recovery you guys and the nightly news are beaming about. Perhaps I have a myopic view but what I do see is the same unemployment numbers and...
  3. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Actually, I didn't even read your post before running my mouth. I went back and re-read it after posting and unfortunately this forum has no provisions for extracting one's foot from their mouth.

  4. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    sorry, no need to scream. No one is arguing against keeping guns with high capacity magazines away from prozac saturated kids living a left4dead fantasy either. I haven't even heard of anyone arguing...
  5. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    If he couldn't do the job, he shouldn't have signed up for it - Twice. I'm no fan of Romney but he knows how to make money for more people than himself. The feds are turning our money into some...
  6. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Yes, the UN's "select few" nations to manufacture a list where the US is shown to have the most gun homicides per capita in that list. I've seen it, and was not very moved.

    Polls, impassioned...
  7. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Our movies are full of violence and many with unfiltered creative psychopathic brutality
    Our games are laden with mass killing in both realistic and fantasy settings
    Many of our most popular books...

    We don't need no steenkin guns

    Re: Favorite cookbooks

    I've been spending years murdering yeasts by species and generations. I've never produced anything better than a dense doorstop, at least using pure sourdough yeasts without cheating. Best of luck!

    Re: Favorite cookbooks

    united methodist.. his accusors all settled out of court so I don't think he was ever charged. I used to watch his shows too, still cut my onions the way he taught.

    I'm a bonafide cookbook...
  12. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    It would be unfortunate to bring a crowbar to a gun fight.

    I would not argue that guns are equally lethal. They are ranged weapons and reload automatically. My point is that eliminating guns from...
  13. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Here in PA, they have the same health restrictions for a concealed carry permit and you must provide two character references who live in the same county and are not related in any way (which they do...
  14. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    I mostly agree. I have no problem with tighter restrictions on background checks about people and can agree with a debate on restricting access to high capacity magazines.

    However, the problem we...
  15. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Not if they're a class full of stunned and shocked little kids.
  16. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    I don't have a huge problem with whether or not the lawmakers restrict either concealed or non-concealed weapons, except that if you dare to exercise your lawful right to wear a gun in plain site (no...
  17. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Bravo.. I think its dreadfully overdue. We're putting far too many good people in jail, giving them criminal records and empowering drug empires. And what ever happened to that "send me your...
  18. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    "proper working order", I would think? Context being written by people recovering from having recently succeded ousting a controlling government.

    I do not believe this refers to the national...

    Re: One for the Christians...

    Heaven forbid that any believer forgets what the cross is at its most base definition, and the measure of love extended to us through it. You won't find a single cross in our house and you'd never...
  20. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    the proverbial "elephant in the room" in all of this is that the spirit of the second amendment is not limited to protecting ourselves from bad guys, but also the potential need to confront a...
  21. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    This link is interesting, FBI Totals of violent crimes by state in 2011 I couldn't find any non-biased listings of states by level of gun controls. Just by reputation, I think it is interesting to...
  22. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Well, one thing that is lost in the debate in the extreme efforts to eliminate/retain private gun ownership, is the number of violent crimes committed without guns and the number of crimes prevented...
  23. Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

    Just to clarify, you're establishing a standard based on a select few (unnamed and unnumbered) countries to illustrate how the USA has the highest rate of gun homicides.

    "A Face in the Crowd" and "Abarat" and "The Best American Short Stories, 2012" (which has been dissapointing so far)
