People have the wrong impression of hacker hierarchy. There are those who hack for money, prestige, to help companies identify their weaknesses, to build stronger anti viruses and to dig into places where they feel we are being exploited, degraded, robbed or lied to by big corporations and the government.

Serial Killers

Today, my interest is turned towards serial killers and the whys of what they did.

Many psychologists and psychiatrists will blame childhood trauma, abuse, neglect and usually sexual abuse. While I agree that a child's development can be arrested or altered, I also believe that not ALL killers had poor lives as children, nor can we blame the parents. Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy, themselves, say not to blame their parents, who were fairly normal. Bundy claims to have had it the closest to Leave it to Beaver as is possible. Both killers take FULL responsibility for their actions. Bundy even warns not to blame pornography for his actions, it simply molded the WAY he went about acting upon his urges. He hid and tried to control his proclivities, and felt horror and remorse after committing the crimes, when the urge was sated. This points to obsessive and compulsive behavior. He later claims that porn DID lead him to act upon feelings he otherwise might not have. He is trying to explain to HIMSELF his own behaviors, which even HE does not understand. We all seek to understand ourselves.

Dahmer takes FULL responsibility for his actions and claims to have had a pretty average childhood. He claims that his lack of religion led to his behavior. But Bundy had a Christian upbringing and still hurt people. Dahmer claims knowledge now of Jesus and God make him realize how wrong what he did was.


Manson didn't get convicted of actually killing anyone. He was a charismatic leader of some weak personalities whom he convinced to kill for him. He also killed in an attempt to spark off a race war due to his own superiority complex. After being caught, he failed to express remorse, enforcing the idea of a narcissistic personality disorder.


Ultimately, it's hard to say if any ONE thing MAKES a serial killer. Violence is a part of nature. We hold ourselves ABOVE the natural world due to our intellectual ability to analyze, consider the future and manipulate the environment. There has been violence against fellow man going back though ALL of history, so to blame porn and violent media or video games is ridiculous. Desensitization CAN occur, especially in growing children and even adults. However, given the VARIED experiences and behaviors of the many serial killers, these are not normal people in any way. Either in experience or mental defect of some sort, these people are the exception, not the norm. Severe violence and violent killers have existed in ALL of history, from Genghis Khan and Vlad the Impaler, to Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson. Blaming porn, violent movies, music, video games or a lack of religion is just plain crazy. Science does not back this idea, because violence occurs even when these factors are absent. I do NOT doubt that these things can cause an already disturbed individual to focus their obsession or compulsion towards one of these influences. But just because a crazy person's messed up brain believes that the flesh of their victim should be well oiled with butter before being cooked and eaten, doesn't mean we should ban butter. Butter is not the cause, simply the focus of some part of their messed up mind.

Where Are They Now? Waldo

After many years of searching for his personal identity, and wearing the same damn shirt, Waldo found himself in Islam.  His father was devastated and disowned him.  Many people still question Waldo's reasons for the conversion, and the shirt.  Waldo is quoted as stating that "In Allah I am able to be immersed in the loss of self.  Islam brings me close to the one true God.  And my aunt knitted the sweater so I am stuck with it, you know how that goes."

Further comment was unavailable as it was time for prayer.  We here at Loose Publications wish Waldo all the best in any future endeavors.

*Waldo's exact location was withheld due to harassment from fans wanting Waldo to continue his travels.*

Douchebags

Why do some people believe that because they don't do anything inherently wrong, it makes them a good person, and are genuinely angry when you call them on shit? I am aware you haven't killed anyone, you haven't done drugs and aren't an alcoholic. You usually pay your bills on time (usually) and are often funny and charming. You have yet to actually try and sleep with my girlfriend/boyfriend, but you do flirt with everyone.(Dude, you ARE the shit....) This doesn't, however, stop you from being a douchbag. This means you are surpassing the level of jerk but not quite reaching the status of mother-fucker.

You are, as a rule, late for anything and everything. Yes, it's only 5 minutes here and there, sometimes 10-15, but you are almost never on time or early. For anything. EVER! You assume that all requests for my time, energy, and money will be met with a Yes, of course and don true, full force, douch mode when the answer is Sorry, can't this time. You forget everytime you have let me down, failed to follow through on promises or just plain "forgot" about the agreement we made. You also forget all the times I said yes, even though I was not oblidged, expected under normal friend or colleague conventions, or even inclined to provide the asked for "favor". You cop attitude with any form of expectation I may have of you and try to convince others that I am the bad guy.

God forbid you actually do what is expected of you under normal circumstances, someone should give you a fucking purple heart! At the least, doing someting ONE time gives you the excuse never do it again and harp about the ONE time you actually did it. Nothing is ever your fault, there is an excuse for EVERYTHING. Ultimately I should just be glad you aren't on drugs, addicted to alcohol or actively breaking the law (per-say, since "rules" that you don't like are "bullshit" and hence, can be circumvented, manipulated and outright ignored).

You are confrontational and often drag me down to your level of douchebaggery when I try to explain my reasons for not letting you "borrow" 10 bucks, again, when you haven't paid me back for the last time I loaned you money. This is actually my fault, as I should know better than to think I can reason with a douchebag. You straight refuse to acknoledge that YOU fucked up or that YOU need to pay back the favors, cash, respect or forgiveness you have received already. And I, for some reason, keep thinking our interactions and your behavior will change. I don't know how or why I continue to argue, reason or fight with you about this shit. The first step is admitting you are a douchebag, and you will continue to believe you have the right to my hard earned cash, my limited time and my total respect.

You, my friend, are a douchebag.

Top Ten Signs You Are a Fundamentalist

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

  10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering.  And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
  3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers.  You consider that to be evidence that prayer works.  And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Leaf Me Alone

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, it's that time of year again.  No not diet time, FALL!  And how appropriate a name for a time of year when all the leaves are falling.  And falling, and falling, and.... well, you get the point.
My "yard" is about two and a half acres, give or take a few hundred square feet occupied by house and shed.  And I have beautiful, wonderful, tall and majestic trees!  Almost an acre of them.  Most of the year they don't do much, sway in the wind, make shady spots, soak up water.  But for about two months, give or take a raking, they drives me insane.

Red, brown and gold hell rains in my driveway.  Crunchy insanity clutters my porch.  Certain mildewy sinus damage creeps in soft layers up the drive and across the still green grass.   We tried to tame the beast with a bagger equipped riding lawn mower.
"I can't feel my legs anymore," my husband comments after his fifteenth trip to empty the bagger in the past hour.

We tried raking them into piles and burning them, but the fire department apparently has regulations about the SIZE fire allowed on your property.  And the smoke was so thick for a few hours that it muffled the sound of our terrier barking his disapproval.
"Can you see my eyebrows?"  the husband queries after lighting the first pile of instant inferno.

Someone suggested raking it all back into the woods it came from.  Three hours of cursing and blisters later and the wind has redistributed most of the leaves we manage to gather from just one quarter of the yard.  We both have bad thoughts in our head for the continued survival of the smarty pants with the suggestion.  Perhaps his unfortunate run in with a fast moving bagging lawn mower.  Rakes have been broken, nerves cracked and the sarcasm is loose again in the yard.
"Is it spring yet?" I am bent over, leaning on the two halves of my rake like crutches.

The trees are naked skeletal reminders of the beauties they once were.  I feel tired, sore and downright infested with fungus, and leaf dust.  The leaves are finally stuffed, mulched, raked and beaten into a fluffy submission, deep in the back of the woods now.  The smart alack is invariably buried under one of the piles, as I am sure that was his John Deere hat I saw disappear under the lawn mower a few hours ago.  I suppose I could have been hallucinating, I am dehydrated and leaf blindness is setting in.  Everything looks dead and brown.  I suppose I will feel depressed about the barren yard-scape, when I can summon the energy.

My husband appears with a hot cocoa in each gloved hand and suggests a few larger, leafier trees that would make good firewood.  I suggest that maybe he doesn't like to breath oxygen very much.
"I'm not sure what it is.  Is it mixed with the leaf dust and mildew spores?"  his sigh is not wasted on me.

Next year, we will be ready.  I am Google-ing flame throwers right now.

Fearmongering: It's Not Just for Politicians Anymore

You see the political ads every day. One candidate says the other is out to get you. They are liars, they only care about the other guy, they fill their pockets and the pockets of their friends on your tax dollars and leave you to rot. Sometimes it's true. The hardest thing to do is to ignore this hate rhetoric and fear-mongering. But now they are using YOU to carry their messages. And they are making you lie for them.

Remember that email you got Monday, warning you about health care tax increases that will make you pay taxes on income you didn't make. It's a lie. You panicked, sent it to everyone you know and then sat back in fear of what is going to happen in January when you can't pay the house note anymore? Nothing. Maybe you vote differently this election or next, that's the original e mailer's intent. But you didn't research it and neither did the person you got it from. There were links claimed as proof of the tales they told but you didn't click them. You never know when an email will contain a virus or send you to a page that attacks your computer. You are savvy in the ways of the internet! Or maybe there was no link, no proof, just someone important claimed as the source of the information. Either way, you did exactly what the haters wanted, sent it on to everyone in your list.
If the email had told you there was a fortune to be made by following this easy step by step plan, you would see it as the crap it is right off. But these guys are tricky. They don't want your money, they want your vote.
Since when did we become a society that believes everything we hear on TV, radio and in email? We used to question everything, show me the proof. But you never see any in these emails and they don't have to prove ANYTHING. Because emails are not governed the same way as other "news" sources. Often we don't know who the original poster even was. So, no one can be sued for slander, made to prove their sources or made accountable when they simply outright lie about the source of the "information" they are spewing.
Most recently I have received a dozen or more emails claiming my taxes will skyrocket in 2011, I will pay taxes on income I don't make and my house sale will be taxed at insane levels. Before I send anything on (and I usually DON'T) I run a few simple checks on the information. I go to Snopes.com first. They usually have what I am seeing by the very title of the email, and it's almost always CRAP! They also tell you why and how it's crap with LINKS to the sources of their information. Now, I know that few of us have the time, inclination or understanding to read the health-care bill in it's entirety. Thank you Snopes for reading it for me so I can find the lies out quicker. If that doesn't work or the lie is to new to have been picked up, I turn to my search engines. Usually I can find several websites, often including government sites, with the forms, files or laws that are being referenced. This takes longer, but I get to the truth.

Are you mad yet? I was. I am being used to carry lies and spread them like herpes, ruining days like an outbreak at every click of the send button. Now after a research run on the internet, often no more than five minutes tops, I reply to all and let my friend and everyone they forwarded to know, you are contagious. You are infected with fear and stopped using the brain I know you have. Intelligent individuals caught up in their fear and anger at the government to the point that they simply stop thinking for themselves. Want to know what's wrong with America? Why the politicians are running crazy with power and the economy has gone to shit? There it is, a deep seeded fear that negates thought and drives us to make irrational decisions based on lies and propaganda.
9/11 was a horrible, scary and tragic terrorist attack. The crashed economy did more damage to more lives. And we have only our own fear driven panic to blame. Educate yourself. Research EVERYTHING. Take absolutely nothing at face value until you have thoroughly exhausted your ability to get the facts. And finally, before you hit the voting booths, use your common sense. Just like bankers in Nigeria who are holding $3.5 million for you in a safe deposit box til they get your bank account number to transfer it to, if it sounds too good (or bad) to be true, IT IS!

here are links to the facts I presented.  If there is something you want to be proven, comment and I will respond ASAP!

My Evil Plans (tm)

Evil Plan

My objective is simple: soul accumulation.

My motive is a little bit more complex: love (yes, it works)
Stage One

To begin my plan, I must first seduce a Pope. This will cause the world to sense a grave disturbance in the force, unsettled by my arrival. Who is this Unholy Menace? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good in Classic Black?

Stage Two

Next, I must contaminate the town's water supply. This will all be done from the island of Mu, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will spontaneously combust, as countless hordes of the undead hasten to do my every bidding.

Stage Three

Finally, I must activate my arcane ritual, bringing about an End to Sanity. My name shall become synonymous with fuzzy bunnies, and no man will ever again dare interrupt my sentences. Everyone will bow before my Dashing Good Looks, and the world will have no choice but to grant me three maidens of virtue true.

I am NOT a teacher.......

OK, let's see if I can stop laughing long enough to post this...... *snicker, snort, chuckle* So a close friend is attending college online. I totally support her in this and she has chosen a respected online school. I won't mention the school cause it will probably get me sued for liable or some stupid thing but you would know it if I did. She has been having trouble with one of her classes, just not being able to get a perfect score on a paper. During our conversation, she mentioned that they are not called teachers, but rather facilitators. They facilitate the education experience of the students.
This is too funny. Isn't that what a teacher DOES? Facilitate the learning experience? I think it's in the job description.... foster learning environments while providing educational opportunities and facilitating the learning process. Are they that self important that being a teacher or professor isn't good enough for them? Is being a teacher a BAD thing now? They still call the attendees students. Apparently the facilitators are more special than the facilitated. Maybe it just looks awesome on a resume... I am not a teacher, I am an educational facilitator. I think I will take this into my vocabulary now. I am not a parent... I am a child growth facilitator. A mother is an incubation facilitator. A crying child is an annoyance facilitator, actually, the child making the crying child cry is actually the facilitator I guess....
I am taking it to my resume for sure. I was once a food delivery facilitator, a package transition facilitator, and for a short time, a military vehicle activity facilitator. I like it. And it would make many jobs sound much more desirable, wouldn't it. A refuse disposal facilitator, a waste water sanitation facilitator, even a elder care facilitator. SIGH. I think it's time to facilitate the end of this blog.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Ok I feel better now.... for about five minutes. This lady needs another kid in the cart, a shovel in her hand, and a teenager harassing her every step. "Can I have a cookie." "I'm hungry." "WHY can't I go all the way across the country and stay with someone who's a total stranger to you???" "Woof." "I got mud on my shoe." "HI!... mom she didn't say hi back to me..." "Look a deer!!!!" "HE HIT ME!!!" "But I need to be at practice NOW!" *interspersed with random screaming at the top of lungs* "A BEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"

First off.... yes you have a job, mr dad. Yes you get up slightly earlier than me to go to it. But noone is yelling at you to feed them, water them or kiss a boo boo (he stubbed his dang toe on a LEGO!!!) while you are doing said job. Also, while I know I volunteered to help with the yard work so you could rest your hurt elbow, asking me what I did today when you walk in the door isn't helping. When you get home everyone wants dinner.... help with homework... another boo boo kissed (MY GOD, you are 5, how can it hurt THAT bad!?!?!?). There are also fights to break up (have considered just giving them baseball bats and let Darwin take the wheel)... dogs to feed and water again (quit barking at EVERY chipmunk, there are like 20 of them out there, get used to it already!!!) floors to clean (yes I saw the damn poop... I'll get to it, *CRASH* OH HELL what NOW!?).

Idea: When you get home, and something needs doing that will hurt you to do (nice scrape on the already hurting elbow... damn, did a shark attack your shop???) maybe you could actually play a game or two with the children while I do that task. It's what I do when YOU are cutting grass, digging trenches, weed eating and tilling the ruts so you don't get thrown off the riding mower(stupid ten ton gravel truck!) We both know I am capable but quite frankly, ain't nothing much getting done as fast as you want it done if no one gives me time to do it. OH, and can you make dinner while I am out there? I am gonna be dirty tired and hungry when I'm done......

Conversations with a five year old

"MOM, Dakota said the shit word." indignation and self important tattling voice....

"What?" Incredulous, did I just hear what I thought you said mom voice...

"Dakota said the shit word..." From the next room "Nuh-uh!!!"

Move into the next room where one twin is on the floor picking up spilled cheerios and looks up at his tattle tale brother with anger.
"I didn't say the shit word!"

To the tattle tale... "Did he say SHIT or another bad word?"

"He didn't say SHIT he said the shit word...." seeming confused that I don't get it yet...

"What is the shit word?"

Still indignant..."I DIDN'T say the SHIT word!!!"

"He said poop... the shit word, that means shit."

*facepalm* "He's allowed to say poop.... I know it MEANS shit but he can say poop and NOT say shit, that's ok."

Wrinkled brow and then understanding... "OH! Well..... then.... nevermind!"

Sits back down and seems to act as if nothing has happened, while I walk back to what I was doing, confused and flustered.

KIDS!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHH!

I have a daughter, lets call her Mae. She thinks her room can be a wreck cause it is hers. never mind that SHE didn't pay to replace three carpets in three houses due to makeup, kool aid and paint stains. She thinks she shouldn't have to do things for NOTHING in return. Like I never take her to the mall, the movies, her friends house, wash her clothes, buy her clothes AND food, pay for the roof over her head, her cell phone, the car that I take her around in, the gas that goes in the car, the electricity and internet she uses for her computer, cell phone charging, tv watching, the cable she watches, the water for her use up ALL the hot water showers. She shouldn't have to wash dishes for nothing in return. With a dishwasher I paid for. What have I EVER done for her? She should be able to just TAKE whatever she wants without asking. And heaven FORBID I say no to any request no matter how insane, expensive or just plain stupid it is or I am horrible, hate her and am trying to ruin her life. I guess asking to travel to another state halfway across the country two days before x-mas to spend the holidays with her friends and stay with ones alcoholic drug addict mother is perfectly acceptable in her 15 year old world.

Americans are fat happy and being snowed!!!

As of now, I am sure you have all heard of Joseph Stack. If not, here's the short version. The IRS screwed him over for almost his entire adult life due to their interpretation of a hard to understand tax law concerning contractors. He wipes his savings and retirements out three times in his life trying to fight these and other IRS snafus and failing. His anger, frustration and feear finally got the best of him. He then set fire to his home and flew a two person training type small plane into the Austin IRS building, killing one person and himself. He left behind his reasons in a 6 page letter online which the government saw fit to remove from the internet, due to it's sensitive nature. The KKK still has several active sites. But the government is afraid of one mans anger and what his letter might say to you. If you still want to know what this man had to say, the letter was copied and pasted before the site was brought down and can be read here...
Smoking Gun

I cant believe that people are so blind as to continue to allow the government to tell us what we can and cannot digest. I thought that somewhere there was an amendment to the Constitution that protects free speech. I must be mistaken, or lied to. Read the letter. Its not the ravings of a madman who thinks the government planted microchips in him or listens to his thoughts through the tv. He makes valid arguments and intelligent points. Tell me what YOU think about his letter. His ACTIONS went too far, so lets stick with the ideas that led him to this violent act.

Teenagers frustrate the living shit outta me....

What is it about responsibility for your own actions that people just don't get?
Take this one child I know, we will call her Cat, who absolutely refuses under video evidence or threat of death to accept her part in ANYTHING. Example, she is getting a 12 in Algebra I... her school refuses to post a grade below 70 (which is failing) and curves anything below that to a 70. She argues first...

I haven't got a 12, I have a 70, in any other school that would be passing.

Wait... you don't actually have a 70... you have a 12 and they POST a 70 cause they just do that... it shows right here on the website how the points system works and how the grade is curved to what shows. Your 98 in PE is showing as a 100, see?

No, I have a hundred in PE and a 70 in Algebra, thats what they posted, so that is the grade that will show on my transcript when I transfer.
(we are arguing about her moving to GA with her father)

Fine, you are failing to grasp the 12 here but lets move on to WHY you are getting an F. You never do your homework...

The teacher lost THAT assignment and refuses to take it off.

What about the other 5 from the past two weeks?

I don't understand it.

I get that, we have been working on the understanding but you still have to TURN IN the homework or you get 0. You got 100 on the two you did turn in, so you get credit just for DOING it.

I still bomb the tests cause I don't like math and I don't GET math.

(sigh, trying to keep cool) Lets run the numbers... with the 0 on homeworks and the 58 and 68 on the tests, you average a 12... put 100 for all those missing assignments and you have an 84... do you see how important doing the work is? It also might help you understand if you did the practice problems in the homework.

When I transfer, it will be a 70 and I will be getting a C like I always do in math. And the teacher wont let me make up any missing work or do extra credit, so there is nothing I can do now anyway.

(deeeeeeeep breath, losing the cool and starting to raise my voice) You are telling me that the teacher wont let you make up work you missed because you were at the doctor getting your knee xrayed?

YES MOM, they DONT give extra credit here and he doesn't care if I was there or not.

(now the real yelling begins and I am dragged down to a 15 year old level, screaming and getting nowhere, angry and unable to understand how she can truly, in any way think the 12 is the teachers fault. She claims the school sucks but we all know that schools keep there standards high ONLY when the students can meet them, so they don't get slammed from the school board)

It doesn't stop there... we should understand that she forgets things sometimes, when really the only stuff she FORGETS is the stuff she doesn't want to do. She only has one chore and can't even manage that, unload a dishwasher.... what will she do on her own if she can't even unload a dishwasher. She has all her friends phone numbers memorized and NEVER forgets to watch her tv shows (when she has tv privileges). She never forgets when cheer practice is, tryouts are or who is dating whom now. She never forgets where MY makeup is when she wants it, but never asks to use it. She digs in my drawers and shelves for my deodorant instead of telling me she's out (she forgot) and then takes it to school with her because she has PE. She WILL NOT watch her twin brothers for 30 minutes while I run to get something at the store real fast and don't want to take them with unless I PAY her. She comes by when I am on my computer and puts her phone on speaker and then gets mad when I have to yell at her brothers, cause I am embarrassing (she has her own damn room, go there to talk). She presses buttons while I am trying to submit online college school work to see if the PC will do the same crazy crap a MAC will when you press ctrl-F11. She back talks and says SWEET! sarcastically if you tell her NO to anything and then stalks off (typical teen I am sure but still unacceptably disrespectful). She wanted to move in with her father because I dont care about her (cause I wont let her go to colorado for xmas and stay with a 19 year old boy.. geeze mom, dont you trust me, nothing is gonna happen... SERIOUSLY?!) then changes her mind when she realizes he is poor and cannot pay for her cell phone or computer. I have cut her off from almost everything, no computer, no tv, no paints (she splattered the floor of the house we are renting with paint and REFUSED to clean it up, it was so bad it took me and the husband 6 HOURS to clean it and a whole bottle of acetone). I have had it! I am making no difference in her behavior no matter how hard I try and I simply cannot take this and her hundred other arguments about how mature she is and how I treat her like a baby. She wants to go live with her daddy, maybe a taste of being denied everything because he can't afford it, because he never BOTHERED to improve his lot in life, will make her see what I have been trying to say about working to get where you want. I doubt it, most likely he will baby the shit out of her and she will be unprepared for the real world, or live at home with daddy her whole life. Either way, they can fight and he can be treated like an atm and shuttle service and deal with her anger when he says no. I can't take anymore. Maybe she will be happier there, I know I will be happier not fighting with her EVERY DAMN DAY!

Nazi's compared to abortions....really?

I participate in alot of facebook and myspace discussions and frankly some people disgust me....
Here is a recap of a recent conversation, the names have been changed to protect the STUPID.


GI GUY: Major Hasan killed 13.... The unborn baby (casualty #14) doesn't count since the liberals are pro abortion. Idiots.

Emily Loose: Pro abortion isn't the case for some people. I am anti abortion and pro choice. I would NEVER have an abortion but can understand the feelings of someone who has been raped being forced to have a child. There are so MANY children that spend their lives in horrible abuse at the hands of the foster care system because they are simply unwanted. Is it so hard to imagine that maybe abortion would have been more humane? I also believe if your pregnancy is terminated against your will (ie the mother is killed and the child dies) at any point in the term, there should be laws to account for that loss of life.

Religious NUT: Actually there is one correct answer for all of us. Just as 2+2=4 for everyone, just as the law of gravity is the same for everyone, so too, the universal moral law is the same for everyone. Why? Because there is a God who has written His Law upon our hearts.(editor note; redacted to save space, look it up)
Because abortion involves the intentional killing of another human being, it is an intrinsic evil. The rationalization that unwanted children will end up abused and so maybe they would have been better off aborted is precisely that, a rationalization. By the same twisted logic, the Nazis were the greatest humanitarians because they eliminated a lot of suffering by liquidating entire classes of people. Of course the Nazis caused most of the suffering they were "sparing" their victims from via their grisly gas chambers. So too, some people try to justify abortion as relatively humane because the innocent unborn child is being "spared" from suffering that might be inflicted by the person making the "humane" decision to abort. Apparently some folks have never heard about the other a-word: Adoption.

JaBreezy.... who the heck are you to force your beliefs upon anyone. There are people who do not believe in the same god you do or any god at all for that matter. If I place 2 apples in front of you and then place two more apples with them that equals 4 apples, no matter what language we speak or god we do or do not believe in. Morality is not a black and white law of the universe that applies to everyone in every circumstance no matter what. Math is a universal law that cannot be disputed through opion or belief. If you think there are six apples, you are wrong, simply mathematical calculations are not the same universal laws as belief that an unborn child has a soul and is a human being, with rights to life as such. As I stated, I could NEVER have an abortion because of my personal Beliefs, not because any universally applied law of the cosmos disproves its validity. How can you say to an 11 year old girl who has been raped by her father that having an abortion will send her to hell? You also need to check into the facts concerning the other A word... Adoption.

Thousands of babies each year are not adopted in the united states each year due to being what many adoptive parents consider "undesireable". They are products of incest with genetic abnormalities, they are crack babies born of mothers with horrible drug problems who require exceptional amounts of care, they are downs syndrome babies, and babies taken from abusive homes where they may have been abused themselves. If unadopted because of these "undesirable" traits, these babies become children who are even less desirable because of their age. These children go into the foster care system where they are statistically 45% more likely to be abused than a child NOT in the system.

YES, i believe these babies may have been better off going straight to heaven and the GOD you apparently believe in than sentenced to a life of horrors, abuse, rejection and 85% greater chance of being drug addicted, prostituted or sexually abused, giving birth, thanks to your "absolute laws" to birthing a child they don't want at the age of 11 because foster daddy was a cruel, sick, twisted fuck who raped her. Maybe you need to rethink your views of heaven and god. Any aborted child, in the christian belief, would go straight to gods side, having never committed a sin. I would think the "loving" god that my local christian community keeps using to try and suck me into the fold would welcome that babe with loving arms into an eternity of joy and peace. I can't imagine imagine you could truly believe that life in hell on earth would be a better choice. I am NOT pro abortion, but I am anti pain and suffering for no apparent reason other than YOU think it's right and will sleep better at night ignoring the true pain and suffering of those less fortunates around you instead of condemning them from preventing anyone from being born into the hell they live in.
And just to address you "view" of the Holocaust. The Nazi's killed the Jews, Catholics and Gypsies not in an attempt to spare them from themselves but because they BLAMED them for everything wrong in the society instead of looking at themselves before pointing the finger!



Comment please and I hope you have something better then "cause GOD said so" to back up your views, otherwise they are just opinions and as such do not constitute universal thinking across cultural gaps. God doesn't belong in our schools or government because not EVERYONE believes in the same one or one at all and thats what the country was founded upon, religious freedom. If all you have is god blah god blah blah, then you can't seperate church and state and should move to a country that doesn't as well before trying to dictate your legal thoughts.

Gun Control is NOT taking away your right to bear arms...

"The US Department of Justice noted Law enforcement reported 617 justifiable homicides in 2006. Of those, law enforcement officers justifiably killed 376 individuals, and private citizens justifiably killed 241 individuals. The discrepancies in the reports are remarkable; however it’s even more baffling that an estimated 17,034 persons were murdered nationwide in 2006." - http://socialconsumer.wordpress.com/2009/05/28/memorializing-war/

Am I the only person I know who likes target practice and the skill involved in gun and bow activities and still thinks there should be stricter gun control? Read the statistics above once again just to let it sink in, I'll wait.

Yes that's right.... in comparison to the number of people killed in violence to the number of people actually PROTECTED by owning a gun, how can anyone with common sense reason that gun control is bad? Gun control is not a politically correct way of saying you lose your right to bear arms. It is exactly that, control. Controlling to the letter of a stricter law, who can own a weapon, and how long it takes to get it. Is there any real reason that someone needs a hand gun right this minute? Other then to commit a crime. Or just cause they are really impatient.

Most people who are eager to get a gun are doing it for emotional reasons. They are scared, angry, or just plain frustrated. Great time to get a gun. If stricter laws are in place, then the process will be more thorough, weeding out criminals and giving law abiding citizens a time to cool off. I you want a gun to target practice or just because you think they are artistic pieces of machinery and you collect them, you can wait while they do all the checks necessary to obtain it. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so. the article I got this information from is very well written and addresses other aspects of violent crime and even race as it relates to violent crime. No I am not saying that minorities commit MORE crimes, just that people tend to commit crimes WITHIN their own ethnic and economic communities. Whites who fear minorities with guns should really be fearing whites with guns, and the same for any race, both here in the US and other countries as well.

Gun control will not CEASE crimes commited with a gun, but it WILL reduce gun use in crimes, most likely reducing the number of fatalities in these crimes.
