bet people
I would bet you there weren't more than 20 or 30 people who read it.
people hamburgers want
I generally don't select my chicken or my hamburgers based on the personal ideology of the person who is either flipping the hamburgers or making the money back at corporate headquarters. But if people want to do that, they're free to do it.
gun people majority
The vast majority of gun owners don't kill, but people who do kill, tend to kill with guns, and often with illegal guns.
people insane ill
Well, many insane people and seriously mentally ill people seem very reasonable.
thinking law people
I think we're seeing privacy diminish, not by laws... but by young people who don't seem to value their privacy.
ideas people desert
Ideas don't desert you; ideas aren't treasonous to you, but people can be.
simple law people
For most people, the question why be good - as distinguished from merely law abiding - is a simple one. Because God commands it, because the Bible requires it, because good people go to Heaven and bad people go to Hell.
atheist people church
Yes, believers and non-believers and skeptics can all live together and get along. But there cannot be an imperialistic imposition of religion by the state or by the church. All people must be equal--believers, skeptics, disbelievers, atheists, and those who chose religion. Unless we are all deemed equal, and unless the morality of disbelief is deemed the equivalent of the morality of belief, we will simply be tolerated, and that is not the American way.
country israel people
No country in the history of the world has ever contributed more to humankind and accomplished more for its people in so brief a period of time as Israel has done since its relatively recent rebirth in 1948.
successful thinking people
I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it; also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful, and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them, they must be doing everything right.
gets hard immunity judgment nobody true
Nobody gets immunity from perjury. If he testified falsely, he would be prosecuted. It's hard for me to make a judgment because I don't know what's true and what's false.
answers point questions
We just have no idea what the answers are to those questions at this point in time.
law
We wouldn't even know where to look to find the law because there is no law.
jobs years giving
I'm worried about privacy because of the young people who don't give a damn about their privacy, who are prepared to put their entire private lives online. They put stuff on Facebook that 15 years from now will prevent them from getting the jobs they want. They don't understand that they are mortgaging their future for a quick laugh from a friend.
