That was fun. I came out Benjamin Franklin, Really?

Welcome rhodag4. Enjoy your time here.

To me gun control is a means to an end. If law abiding citizens give up their right to own a gun, does anyone believe criminals will. I don't think it is about crime at all. I believe it based in fear. A government that does not respond to the wishes of any of its' citizens must fear there is but one option left: torches and pitch forks.

This government fears with armed citizens will come revolution. I doubt it is possible but our government believes better safe than sorry. I believe it was Lenin who said, "one man with a gun can control one hundred men without guns"

I believe gun control is more about power and control of the masses than crime.

In my opinion, the people guilty of this crime are insane. There are zealots in every religion. Muslims nor Christians have a corner market on insanity. Any religious group which believes they have the right to take a human life is a danger to the rest of us.

I can claim to be any religion I wish. Doesn't mean I am. There is no moral or religious justification for what these people did. Claiming it is their faith is just an excuse. I doubt it will work in a court of law.

To allow any religion to rule a country is a threat to the non-believers. Why we equate types of political views with religion is comparing apples and oranges. One is of God the other of man.
I doubt seriously God cares about your political beliefs. To me it is more important how you treat your fellow human beings regardless of their faith or non-belief.

I believe in God, just not the God of Abraham. I think the problem atheists and others have with Christianity lies with the theory that it is the only true religion. To me, it is a foreign religion, has nothing to do with me. I do not believe there is a heaven or a hell. If that is your belief than are you worshiping your God out of love or fear?

If a person does not believe in the Christian God then the Bible is not a viable resource. If a person does not believe in any God, then no holy book matters. I believe man judges much more harshly than God but then God knows the heart of a person.

Glad to see your back, Haughty Lib. I am so tired of only one perspective of OPP.

John Lennon was a victim of this government. There is no end to the things this government will do to anyone. The fear is and always was if a person could unite the "little people" the power brokers would be in deep trouble. After all we "little people" outnumber them.

We speak of Nazi Germany but we are Nazi Germany. People considered enemies of the state have a strange way of being killed. We are spied upon and government agencies are used to ruin people's reputations and in some cases imprison them. Should you become a real threat you must be dealt with. Lennon through his music, interviews, and life was simply stating the obvious.

This government spends billions to make sure the people stay divided. Masters of propaganda convince the ever shrinking middle class the poor are your enemy. You should fear any race or religion that is not your own. It works.

Think of what a world this would be, if we all just accepted our differences and worked to make life better for everyone. Instead, we buy into the propaganda. We divide ourselves by politics, gender, economics,religion, and race. Silly little differences when you get down to it. We are all human beings and no group is superior to another.

Many years ago when I worked for DFCS, you had to provide:

A birth certificate
A social security card
A picture ID

I don't know how it works now. I quit because I felt we were not allowed to help the elderly as much as we should. There is a great deal of politics in this system.

Many of my friends still employed there tell me they are not allowed to ask for ID from immigrants. I don't know if that is true but they sure complain a lot about not being able to help citizens because immigrants come first.

I agree with removing USA and Saudi. We have tried this time and time again and failed. It seems to me the natural gas deposits what we are really fighting for. Placing our own puppet in office.

I truly believe the best thing that can happen for the Republicans is if Hilary gets the nomination. I do not believe she has the trust of the American people. I know I don't trust her and I don't feel she is capable of leading this country out of the mess we are in.

I see no difference in Hilary and the Republicans. The woman is owned. She talks a good game but then so did her husband right before he gave us NAFTA.

I can only answer for myself. I have never shopped at Walmart. If I want cheap plastic crap from China, I would just buy direct. I do not like the way they treat their employees. Having food drives for people who are employed by your company is ridiculous.

Walmart invades a community, drops their prices, and when they have forced the local business out of business they raise their prices. Our community said no thank you to their super store. I shop local Mom and Pop store. Those hillbillies get none of my money.

I fear this will turn out to be much ado about nothing. How many years does it take this government to act on something this serious? It will be politics as usual. We the people will be shielded from any of the facts, our representatives feel we are to stupid to understand.

I have asked this question before and never received an answer. What is the answer to the crisis in Syria?

As far as I am concerned, Bernie Sanders won that debate. How can Clinton claim she doesn't flip flop when NAFTA was her husbands idea. She only came out for several agendas once Bernie had announced them first.

How can a woman who accepts large contributions from Wall Street even claim to want to do something about these crooks. She has a super PAC, therefore she is owned.

If the Democrats nominate this woman, the next president will be a Republican. To many people have no faith in her. Most of the people I have spoken with feel as a billionaire she will take care of her peers.

I have nothing against the woman. I just feel she is not p**********l material.

Just my opinion. Science is a collection of theories, ever changing. Somethings we accepted as truth through science years ago, we now know is simply not fact. Science is based upon man's limited abilities.

God, as the creator of the universe, has a complete understanding of all things. We have a limited understanding based upon what we perceive to be the truth in the moment. To me at least, science is nothing more than man's attempt to better understand the workings of all things.

My God can not be buried by mere human beings. I don't believe science is capable of proving there is no God.
