You all saw him - he had a gun.
Are gun rights advocates arguing that roving gangs...shooting innocent bystanders constitutes a 'well-regulated militia'?
It seems to me that there will be a point in out development or our evolution where you put your guns aside.
England, where no one has guns: 14 deaths. United States...23,000 deaths from handguns. But--there's no connection...
There is a 3rd point of view on the gun control issue--those who I refer to as THE VICTIMS--but they remain strangely silent...
Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.” -Bill Hicks
People are bringing shotguns to UFO sightings in Fife, Alabama. I asked a guy, "Why do you bring a gun to a UFO sighting?" Guy said, "Way-ul, we didn' wanna be ab-duc-ted." If I lived in Fife, Alabama, I would be on my hands and knees every night praying for abduction.
They also have a sense of irony, which America doesn't have seeing as it's being run by fundamentalists who take things literally.
There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
I'm not really a heavy smoker any more. I only get through two lighters a day now.
Good comedy helps people know they're not alone. Great comedy provides an answer.
The whole image is that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, isn't it? Beleive or die! Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.
If I thought the Jews killed God, I'd worship the Jews.
I find it ironic that people who are against things that cause sexual thoughts are generally fundamentalist Christians who also believe you should be fruitful and multiply.
