Because you were bullied and want revenge, you do something to ensure you will be bullied and worse for the rest of your natural life? How could any person do this if they understood what was going to happen to them?


The Romans dug it as entertainment and it was done to persons ( some not all ) who committed no other crime than being different from the people in charge. That is not what I'm proposing. I'm proposing we start showing kids what will happen to people who commit violence, that violence will be committed on them and we'll make damn sure it is worst than any bulling you went through in school.


I couldn't be more serious about this topic. It is my number one priority and nothing else even comes close. This violence against innocent people has got to stop and I don't see anybody proposing how we are going to accomplish the most important thing in life, to be free from violence.


Not a religious man here but I believe you will reap what you sow. I'm flat out sick and tired of this shit.

If I remember correctly, this year so far there have been more than 300 mass shootings in the USA.

Japan....none

No link to support your claim that "science has determined there is no God"? So sad!

But that's your style. Always shrink when questioned.

If God punishes you for that, try to enjoy it.

Naaah... if you put me on ignore, it's because your wit and logic constantly fail you and you're sick & tired of having your derriere handed to you.

He was the first of the Yinzers to occupy mine. Best decision I’ve made.

I agree with you. This has to stop by ALL means necessary.

“Because it’s in the constitution” isn’t enough to justify the senseless killing in this country.

No kidding? I was first to occupy your head? And you're still not charging rent!

The best decision you ever made was to become a Canuck for 2 years, thereby allowing other posters in this forum to have a shot at winning the DOTY award.

Again, you need to provide the complete quote when quoting someone.
Not leaving out selected words of your choosing to twist and change the meaning.


But you could apply for a job at FOX. You would fit right in.

Ok, here's the full quote in all its profundity. If someone misquotes me, I beat them up for it after carefully explaining exactly how they "twisted" my words to "change the meaning".

Funny how you're utterly incapable of defending yourself that way.

On the other hand, you can say science has determined there is no God or creator.

That means your life has no meaning.

Everything you have known...everyone you have met...your consciousness...is all an accident of nature.

Think about that the next time you want to tell someone how to run their life.

[VitaMan]

So there is it......you twisted the original statement and left out words.
Or possibly, can't even understand the nuances.



Enjoy yourself.

That's all you got?

Sad... but thanks for proving my point!

Dude.....


Embarrassing yourself now. But keep it up if you want to.

And just for the record, perhaps the greatest scientist that ever lived, Einstein, believed in a Creator.


I'm agnostic and I believe that saying there is no God is as dumb as saying there is.
