To start with, I am talking about land stolen in 1948, when Israel was the aggressor. However, I would not support the violence inherent in Ahmeninejad’s statement.This is the way we in the west used to talk about Germany, North Vietnam, and Russia, but hopefully we have moved on.
If the Palestinians disarmed unilaterally, there would be peace, but only the kind of peace enjoyed by France and Poland in WW2, or by Latvia and Estonia and Georgia, among others, in the days of the Soviet Union.
The Palestinians are not even demanding all their land back – they are only demanding justice. It has been consistently denied them, by Israel and its allies.

Oh wow, you cant be serious. The Israeli’s could crush and kill all the Palestinians right now with little or no problem if they wanted to they dont need the Palestinians to disarm. That they haven’t, in the face of all the attacks they have endured, is telling. Now I will agree that the Israeli’s are no angels, they have commited some horrible crimes.
However lets do a pop quiz:
Of the two sides which is known for strapping on semtex vests loaded with ball bearings and hopping on a school bus or a sidewalk cafe?
Which side is known for, when a agreement has been made and a settlement has been abandoned than uses that land as a new place to lauch rockets indiscriminately into civilian centers.
Which side has a childrens show where a rabbit leads children in sing songs about killing jews.
My point here is that while israel isnt perfect by any means I am sick and tired of hearing about the “poor oppressed Palestinians’ when alot of their problems are self made.

If the Palestinians laid down their arms, the Isrealis would take their chance right then to attack. The Isrealis do just as much attacking as the Palestinians do. And it’s absurd to think that if a specific side laid down their weapons the other side would be just perfectly okay with it. No one side here is the total aggressor and no one side is completely a victim, and you are delusional if you think so.

You, of course, are talking about lands taken after being attacked? you also neglect to mention that every time they give some land back the Palestinians use that land to launch rockets into Israel. Lets not forget if the Palestinians disarmed their would be peace, what do you think would happen if the Israelis disarmed? As for your Iran comment I haven’t seen any comments from the Israeli PM saying, “Country name” shall be wiped off this Earth in a sea of fire.” So, you go ahead and make baseless comparisons between a democratic country and a cesspit that routinely hangs gays and whips rape victims if it makes you feel better.

Wake up, America! They both say they “love Israel”. .What is this all about? Israel is a regime which seems hell-bent on outdoing Nazi Germany as a brutal invader and occupier of other people’s lands,and nuclear-armed as well. And you people say Iran must not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. It is just rank hypocrisy.

I find that I don’t have to be conservative to be in favor of the death sentence. I just have to be pragmatic enough to realize that some people honestly don’t belong here. I am not the one saying this, they are. They’re actions speak louder than my words ever will.

If you see a rabid dog, you put him down. If you see a child killer, you put him down. I have argued til I feel the blood pulse in my head over this. The death penalty is not barbaric, what the killers did to be put there is barbaric.

Compare gun related deaths to car related deaths. Cars make it easier to kill people. We should ban cars. Object does not equal intent.

USA has at or near the highest rates of gun ownership, and one of the highest rates of crime (and gun related death) in the OECD. I see a correlation.
But conversely, Italy has one of the lowest rates of gun ownership and the just slightly lower rates of crime and homicide than the US (but still a decent margin lower than the US).
Most other countries have lower ownership rates and lower crime rates.
.
This led me to the honest(ish) conclusion that, guns don’t kill people. Americans and Italians kill people.

You have every right to look at a statement and go “huh.” But to make broad assumptions based on that statement, without doing the research as to his actual position makes me go “huh.” If you don’t want to admit that, then fine with me. But I have repeatedly stated both candidates positions on the issue and the statement f clinging to guns really does not relate to leave the decision to the local municipalities. Nor does it say anything about controlling guns, banning guns, not banning guns giving everyone a weapon, or prosecuting a gun manufacturer. (I’m not saying that you said this. And for the record, I have never attributed any kind of those statements that you keep getting so defensive about to you either.) And your interpretation of :clearly criticizing” is not the way that everyone else interpreted it, it’s just the way it was reported. I’m not denying that it could be interpreted that way, but I’m also admitting that it could be seen in other lights.

Slate has throughly debunked the rape-kit myth. Click on my name to read the article. The gist being that they would attempt to charge the insurance company for the cost of the kit, but doesnt say what would happen if the company refused. However it does go on to quote the current mayor as saying that there is no record of any victim being charged for a rape-kit.

As for the banning of books, so it is now illegal to ask about the process for banning books? Were these books ever banned? if the librarian was fired for refusing to ban the books did the following librarian ban them or was he/she fired as we?

Excuse me? Are you serious? I’m swedish and I can tell you
that gun ownership here is far from 100%. Presently we have
635 000 licenced gun owners in a population of 9 million (I
have no idea how many adults etc.) In the northern parts
there’s quite a few hunters who have several rifles and
that gives us a higher percentage but those people use it for
hunting, not for self defence. We have laws saying that it is
illegal to keep your gun and the trigger/cartridge for ammo
in the same place which means you can never store a fully
assembled gun at home. We also have a lot more strict law
then the US both for getting a permit and for what type of gun
you are allowed. E.g. it’s almost only possible to buy a
handgun if you compete in shooting or a rifle if you’re a hunter.

Also it’s near impossible to get any kind of semi- or fully
automatic guns unless you’re in a profession that would call
for it. And if you do get a license you only get it for a maximum
of 5 years, then you have to get it renewed.

In my opinion I’d say that’s a reason to why we have so few
incidences related to guns here

There’s so much wrong with that, including “wackjob or embarrassment in heels” If Barry had gotten half the scrutiny in the last 20 months that she’s gotten in the last 2, he never would have gotten the nomination, it would have gone to Hillary. But, the national media decided to prop up the unqualified doofus with a pretty face than Hillary, who at least has seen the process before. I don’t like Hillary Clinton, but she definitely got the short end of the stick in the primary. Oh, and she did get the popular vote in the primary, where’s all the screaming of “selected, not elected!”? Or does that only happen when the rules work in favor of the Republican? Just a though.

His resume’s a little scary. Friend of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrne (terrorist), spiritual advisor Jeremiah Wright (racist, anti-semite and America Hater), Financial Advisor Franklin Raines (largely responsible for the mortgage mess we’re dealing with), got his house at a severely reduced price from Tony Rezko (slum lord, currently under investigation), Foreign Policy includes pulling out of Iraq, which would destabilize the country, and invading Pakistan, our ally. Also, wants to severely reduce defense spending.

Used questionable tactics and ad hominem attacks to disqualify his opponents in both his Illinois and US senate seats, voted “Present” more than anything else while in the Illinois senate, put his name on an amendment that added Kindergarten to a sex ed bill (look it up if you don’t believe me), voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which allows for medical assistance to infants who survive an abortion (before that, hospitals were required to just let them lie there and die of starvation/neglect).

I think that’s everything. Everything I can remember off the top of my head, anyway.

Actually, that policy requiring rape victims to pay for the rape kit was in place BEFORE she became mayor, and was common at the time. She actually helped undo that policy. She also has never even tried to ban sex education, and what’s with this apparent assumption that contraception always works? It doesn’t. Finally, the list of books she supposedly tried to ban had several that weren’t even out when she was elected. Hard to ban those, isn’t it? It’s also leftists who are constantly trying to ban half of the books on that list (note-it was a list of “commonly banned books” that was floating around the internet for a while).

Oh, they’ll try. They’ll impose restrictions on the caliber, capacity, and type of firearm. They already do it in California. Often, certain guns are illegal here because they literally have a different color scheme or body shape than another comparable firearm, because California requires a rather large fee to be paid by distributors to the state to put each model on the market. There are also restrictions on the size of the magazine, as if criminals will obey those laws. Finally, every time they pass an onerous law (outlawing the .50 cal sniper rifle or requiring microstamping on casings-also a useless gesture) manufacturers just refuse to work on California law enforcement’s firearms. The end result will be that criminals will be able to get whatever gun, caliber, capacity, ammo type, and action (fully auto) and police will be forced to use wheel guns. That will increase the already terrible crime problem in this state, as criminals will overpower citizens and the police. Generally speaking, all gun laws are ridiculous (exception: minors, felons, and mentally infirm) because they make the assumption criminals follow laws. Case in poing: there was recently a shooting in Chico. Guy trying steal someone’s “medicinal” marijuana shot the homeowner with a gun registered to the San Francisco PD. Illustration of what’s wrong with gun laws-even if you disarm the populace, criminals will still get firearms.

I’m passionate about this, can you tell.
