I don't think you could convince many people to have sympathy for child molesters/baby-killers. I'm also not sure how the US government could get involved in this since it's not a threat to our national security, so I think the probability is exceedi... [Read More]

Agreed. But I stress, this kind of thing must be done carefully, through the proper channels. Otherwise, we could only worsen the problem. I'm not sure how much worse it can actually get when you're talking about molesting and then killing babies an... [Read More]

If there is trafficking in other countries, simply put, we can't do anything, and we shouldn't do anything, unless it's through private, non-government charities or other organizations. Like the Red Cross or Amnesty International or something. Well,... [Read More]

Moderator Mode.... Actually giving it some thought I think you're right. Every man woman and child should be given as many guns as they want to shoot each other with or see how they go taking down the police and military. If they're so determined to... [Read More]

The 'right to bear arms' came into being because the average citizen in Great Britain (and much of Europe) were not allowed to carry weapons, while the military or ruling elite were. This created an imbalance of power that the Founding Fathers wanted... [Read More]

I've noticed this trend in 'shorter bits, more drama; sex, violence, and tragedy sells best' in the news over the last 20 years or so. It's better in some markets, worse in others, so the market itself can contribute or not to this problem. For insta... [Read More]

I'm not sure how he could possibly bring charges with no, or at best circumstantial, evidence, and then lie about providing DNA evidence to the defense. That's just bizarre. The article did note that he'd been disbarred. Whether that's permanent or n... [Read More]

Since Disney caters to families, this decision makes sense from a business point of view. I wouldn't take my kids to movies where all, or at least the most popular, characters are smoking. It just doesn't set a good example and isn't consistent with... [Read More]
