(V): "It's a line from a film called "RocknRolla"... the context is not the same as usual!!"

Uh huh... so, what is the 'usual' literal context? I didn't think you meant that literally, although I did (literally) mean it probably wouldn't help (if she was sent back to school).

"Is this line gonna be used forever more?"

ooooOOOOoooo ... In other words, if you don't believe it then it can't be true!!

ooooOOOOoooo!!

He was just walking the girls back to their vehicles when two thugs approached the coach and the girls. One guy pulled a gun and grabbed the coach by a chain around his neck. He resisted and they shot him. Then they fought the two girls to the ground and took turns brutally raping them.

Oh wait, I got that wrong. I got the first two sentences right though. But the rest of the story I screwed up. Let me try again.

Police sources tell 7 Action News that a women’s basketball coach from Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School shot two men who attacked him as he was walking two basketball players to their cars in the school parking lot.

Police sources say the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources.

The man who shot the attackers was 70 years old, according to police.

One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. We’ve learned that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled.

Police sources say the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities.

BTW, the coach is legally registered and has passed the background check.

The other thug in the hospital need to get life in prison.

Artful Dodger: It isn't though your average hunting rifle, is it!

You mentioned hammers earlier. They at least require an up close attack, a semi automatic military assault weapon has a range of over 500 yards. It has a magazine that can hold at least 30 rounds, magazines holding 90 rounds can be bought.

Or this for a pistol http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/images/GLOCK9357.jpg

Hardly home defence.. unless your Justin Bieber and you've just released a new single that is considered so bad it assaults the ear and mind!! :))

(V): So what? Just because I own an assault rifle doesn't mean I'm going to use it to attack people. Most people (the vast majority) don't use their guns that way.

Iamon lyme: It's a line from a film called "RocknRolla"... the context is not the same as usual!!

"The most important lesson Obama has taught us is that no one is responsible for anything they say or do... unless they happen to be conservative, because they are responsible for everything that happens."

Really!! How interesting. .... .... .... .... Is this line gonna be used forever more?

Artful Dodger: ok... But an assault riffle is built for one purpose.. battle. N' the semi automatic version of the US own preferred main arms for it's military is still a gun built for battle.

Iamon lyme: Pelosi, Reed

(V): The most important lesson Obama has taught us is that no one is responsible for anything they say or do... unless they happen to be conservative, because they are responsible for everything that happens. Of the four clowns I've seen in the news (Obama, Pelosi, Reed and Biden) the one I have the most respect for is Biden. He at least doesn't try to cover up his goofiness or make too many excuses for himself. He's mostly busy making up excuses for everyone else.

(V): Iamon lyme: "ooooOOOOoooo ... One could say the same about graduating from a conservative university.... but are they to be blamed for her saying dumb things... production team?? A HaNgOvEr????"

Chances are (given the position she has as an anchor at a major news network) that she IS a college graduate. And in light of WHO she is working for, the odds of her graduating from a liberal college is a safe bet... it would be listed on her resume. CNN panders to the left, so why would they hire conservative anchors and commentators to occupy key spots in their programming? I don't doubt there may be a few, but it would be for the purpose of not appearing biased.

I don't blame the school you went to for saying dumb things, but it was you who said she should be sent back to school. Schools are responsible for teaching, but it's the students who are responsible for what they learn. Taking what any teacher says as gospel regardless of the college or university is not wise, and it's the wisest teachers who encourage students to think for themselves.

Bwild: And some people collect guns only for the purpose of a collection (as in rare guns). If I owned a gun it would be for protection. But likely I'd go to the shooting range regularly so I could learn to shoot. And I'd take a few classes so I'd learn to care for the gun etc. And then my two buddies would convince me to join their gun club that meets here locally. One friend even makes his own bullets. And he hasn't even killed anyone!

(V): I wouldn't use a hammer or a club either. I'd use a jack. But that's not the point. One can reasonably argue that there are many purposes for owning a gun. And I don't split hairs. I'm bald.

Iamon lyme: Two more meteors were spotted yesterday over the west coast. There could have been more that were either not seen (over the ocean) or not reported... or only reported locally.

I don't know how anyone can see this as a mere coincidence. It's possible there are fragments traveling the same path as the asteroid, possibly due to some other asteroid slamming into it... and those fragments wouldn't necessarily be traveling in very close formation and proximity to the asteroid. I think scientists know this is a possibility, but don't want to be blamed for creating any unnecessary panic.

Bwild: it's difficult for a person to throw a hammer 400 yards though.... n' not the competition side of the matter.

BTW... I don't think they'd be using assault rifles... not accurate enough.

(V): ". Guns are built for killing. Hammers and clubs may have other purposes."
guns do kill WHEN FIRED BY HUMANS....but their purposes are varied. sharp shooting is an Olympic event,hunting,plinking,protection,the list goes on.
a pistol makes a good hammer in a pinch.

Artful Dodger: No. you are splitting hairs. Guns are built for killing. Hammers and clubs may have other purposes.

You wouldn't use your assault rifle as a lever for jacking up your car would you.

Iamon lyme: ooooOOOOoooo ... One could say the same about graduating from a conservative university.... but are they to be blamed for her saying dumb things... production team?? A HaNgOvEr????

... I just saw the statement not what sex they were.

"Hey, if an asteroid slammed into your home with so much force it caused you to disappear into a black hole, then yes, that would be VERY painful. And humiliating."

Not painful, death would be instantaneous.. more humiliating for the doomsday preppers, that such an asteroid could cause a black hole suggests a very dense object like a bit of a stars core...

.... I'd be watching going "Jesus" ... beats the CGI from "2012".

Artful Dodger: I saw a newsline that said "meteor not related to passing asteriod." So apparently it's just a coincidence...

... ?

~Emil du Bois-Reymond, promulgator of the maxim ignoramus et ignorabimus.The Latin maxim ignoramus et ignorabimus, meaning "we do not know and will not know", stood for a position on the limits of scientific knowledge, in the thought of the nineteenth century. It was given credibility by Emil du Bois-Reymond, a German physiologist, in his Über die Grenzen des Naturerkennens ("On the limits of our understanding of nature") of 1872.~

If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning....

If I had a club, I wouldn't let girls join.

2011: 323 People lost their lives to rifles that includes assault type weapons.

But

496 people were killed by hammers and clubs.

Hint: Since the debate in the US centers around the assault rifle, why aren't they including in the debate hammers and guns???

Because they are all liars and morons. :)

(V): first waterboarded and THEN Archie'd ;)

Then a "Swirlie" for good measure!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLsFBQF8ru0

(V): Isn't that the truth! I get tired of the speeches on both sides.

(V): "The guy should be "Archie'd" for making such a dumb comment... aka sent back to school!!"

The guy was a gal, and sending her back to school wouldn't help. Chances are she graduated from a liberal university... 'nough said.

"nooo.... it causes comets."

Hey, if an asteroid slammed into your home with so much force it caused you to disappear into a black hole, then yes, that would be VERY painful. And humiliating. We are talking maybe science here, ya know...

Iamon lyme: nooo.... it causes comets.

The guy should be "Archie'd" for making such a dumb comment... aka sent back to school!!

Artful Dodger: Their greatness is a relative view. When they play on stereotyping.. then they are not so great... tabloid'ish.

I didn't listen to his speech or really read anything much about it. Speeches are speeches, UK politicians do them all the time and say nothing in the process. More is said in the ignoring of questions asked.

eg "are people going to be better off in 2 years"... reply .. "we've lowered income tax"

no yes... no no, despite figures saying no from officially recognised analysts.

Iamon lyme: they'll have to send a "probe."

Iamon lyme:

Artful Dodger: Just watch, the next news story could say something like 'Farting causes painful asteroids.'

Iamon lyme: cow farts!

(V): Ahhh, PJ media is great. BTW, did you hear any feedback on Obama's State of Confusion speech?

Artful Dodger: I guess this pjmedia lot rely on preconceived right wing hysteria alot then!!

Iamon lyme: I'm sure there are, but the trade is just not worth it. eheheheh

Artful Dodger: dude .. that line is so old... it makes you look young!!

" The politicians don't care about dead kids. Example: Chicago and Detroit."

What about Texas.. One of the worst states in the US for child deaths and abuse.

Iamon lyme: yeah. People get fired but don't kill innocent people. What a sick jerk. He's in hell now probably.

Artful Dodger: Dorner claimed his termination was unfair, then went and proved to everyone there was probably justification for his termination.

Iamon lyme: Alex is a bit of an over the top nut. That's why Morgan picked him. Ratings. Nutty people sell.

Artful Dodger: I've never even heard of the guy until V mentioned him... but now I know why V mentioned him. I should have known it meant something, but the truth is most of the time I don't care. I don't follow a story just because "It's been in the news!!" Good grief... I have nothing but time on my hands, but that doesn't mean I want to waste any of it on goofy news stories.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/02/12/fugitive-ex-cop-exchanges-fire-with-authorities-ap-source-says/

But "the left" is still crazy


http://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/2013/02/10/the-truth-about-dorner-leftism-is-violence/

Iamon lyme: lol and I've never listened to jones. No one I know takes him seriously except Jesse Ventura.

from The Telegraph

"Earlier this week Morgan invited radio host Alex Jones, a gun advocate, onto his show. Mr Jones, who claims that the US government was involved in the September 11 terror attacks, repeatedly screamed at Mr Morgan and went on several incoherent rants in which he blamed "suicide pills" for gun violence."

Okay, so Morgan went out of his way to get the nuttiest guest he could find for that interview... no big surprise. So what's next for Morgan, finding someone who blames the September 11 terror attacks on aliens from outer space? If Morgan wants to conduct his program like a trashy tabloid rag, then what's the big deal? Most of the major news shows have sunk to that level anyway, so as far as prevailing standards of newscasting go he hasn't actually broken any taboos.

(V): Maybe we can work out a trade. You got any US citizens over there you don't want?

(V): "No way!!!! He's your problem now."

Aha, I knew it! But other than being an annoying prig what did he do? On what grounds is anyone saying he should be deported?

Sharon Osbourne is okay, she can stay. Howie Mandel is Canadian but I don't hold that against him, so he can stay too.

(V): It's mostly the hype from the left that's driving the gun debate. The gun lobby is simply answering the critics. There are bigger problems that the US is facing and those problems are being ignored. It's all political. The politicians don't care about dead kids. Example: Chicago and Detroit.

The Col: He did a series of 'life stories' where he gets to interview celebs on a one to one basis, aka PR stunt for the celeb... he only got religion after he started working in the US. He lied regarding the phone hacking and his involvement, wouldn't even come back to the UK to lie face to face.

He's as sincere as a fake tan.

(V): If only I believed Morgan was sincere, and his gun assault wasn't just a desperate attempt at being noticed/ratings

Iamon lyme: No way!!!! He's your problem now. We don't want him.

HA HA HA.... we tricked your tv people into signing him up, payback for the tea party!!!

lol
