We're number #1 in guns.  Some people think that's great.

The person just said he wishes guns didn't have a safety feature so that people who had them would accidentally shoot and kill themselves. I said something along the lines of this being a horrible thing to say, and got accused of being Catholic lol.

You got accused of worshipping a god who invented death; at least that's what I pointed out.

If it helps, I'm no longer curious why you believe as you do.

Be wary of taking only one side of the story. You're better off rereading the exchange, if you want to know what happened. She's certainly misrepresenting my point.

Nor did I attack her.

Don't worry, she's misrepresenting mine too if I'm included as part of this attack thing. I even got an acknowledgement of clarification and a kudos for it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Nope. I don't even remember what you said.

While you guys are sorting this out here's another aspect of 'Murrican Greatness.

Quote:Charter schools, which are public schools run by private groups, have received more than $760 million from state taxpayers since 2000, according to an Associated Press analysis of state Department of Education records. Schools can use the money for construction costs, rent payments, buses and even property insurance.

Yet charter schools in 30 districts have wound up closing after receiving as much as $70 million combined in such funding, the AP's analysis showed.


Never have so few stolen so much from so many.
