Is there some way I can cause them to abandon their dogmatic ideologies?No. Although I disagree that they are truly Christians. Seems to me that to be a Christian you need to follow the example set by Christ. I seem to remember Christ setting down an...  [Read More]

Cops aren't omniscient. They can't even read minds. Shocking as it may be to you, they cannot even use such elementary abilities as the Mind Trick. When somebody loses their marbles, they cannot reliably take somebody down without use of specialized...  [Read More]

Tasers are deadly on the sick, the elderly, children(little tots), and when used in excess. A single shot with a taser on a healthy 20 something college student who took multiple cops to restrain, is not going to kill him. And just how do Police Offi...  [Read More]

What I heard on the news was his time was up, but if that was not the case, it still does not mean he had the right to resist the police. When this first broke, I was under the impression that a Taser Gun was a painful yet safe way to subdue someone...  [Read More]

The dispute is over wheter to use the word "rape" in a courtroom or not. To use it will go and harm the defendant in the case over the rape, meaning it is okay for the judge to ban it. However, the prosecution has a good reason to use the t...  [Read More]

Once we reduce morality to money, we might as well give up and go back to living in caves. So are you saying that it is morally right to completely devastate a family’s finance in order to keep someone that is brain dead plugged in? I wasn’t say...  [Read More]
