I feel bad for Mrs Spitzer and his girls, but he got what he deserved. I hope they file criminal charges against him only because he was prosecuting people fpr the same crimes. The ironic thing is he signed a law that would prosecute the "johns" as well. Which he needs to be made the example of. I also feel bad for the girl Ms Dupree. She shouldn't have to be drug though slime and hounding by the press like she is going to be. I guess though after things settle down she'll get a book deal so maybe it won't be to bad for her in the end.

I'm former military, waterboarding is NOT torture. If we were fighting against "soldiers" torture would be another story. A true soldier does his best not to harm innocent people. These people go out of their way to kill innocent men, women and children. They use children and pregnant women as homicide bombers. These animals should not even be considered human beings let alone soldiers by any stretch of the imagination. They deserve no protections. They need to wiped off the face of the earth. They do not deserve to live in this world among us. If we have to torture them to get information that prevents an attack that is going to kill innocent people, then so be it. They deserve one thing from the decent people of the this world, a painful horrible death. End of story

Even ones like me who don't like guns in the first place.quote> You certainly got problems with your crime rate. I'm just wondereing in which cases it's usual to "fight back" (apart from home invasions), and if this happens exceptionally or not.quote> Things aren't as bad as it sounds.. I live near new york city and have a police scanner and hear pretty much everything that goes on in the city and around the area.. both NJ and NY..lately though it seems like the police are doing all the shooting... there is random crime, and random violence, but it seems to me that a big majority of shootings and assaults are being committed against or by people who know each other. The NYPD does an excellent job. I have no problem going into Manhatten at night to see a show or something. Its pretty safe..I wouldn't go down any dark alleys or anything..but like any big city anywhere you just have to be aware of your surroundings. Of course the media always shows the worst of things and totally exploits it... but thats how they get ratings I guess. I know it sounds like we NEED our guns..but its not really as bad as it sounds. Crime, violence and homicide is actually down in many many places. Where I live we have very little crime. Mostly shoplifting at the wal-mart. There is no random violence, or muggings. There might be the occasional burglary, but there are many nights I've gone to bed and forgot to lock the door. There are many times I go out to the store and don't lock the door. It all depends on the area where you are...if its economically depressed the crime rate is higher than it is where people have money. I don' t think crime is any worse in New York City or Los Angeles than it is in say Toronto, London, Paris, or Moscow. This has has gone off topic so let me end it with this. Those who want to ban guns are using the extreme incidents to make their case. They use scare tactics to reach the uninformed and sway things their way. Before you allow a vocal minority of people to take away your rights...even if you choose not to exercise those rights, check the facts for yourself. Just because someone makes a claim either way, pro or con doesn't mean its the truth.

Shootings are terrible..especially school shootings. But they aren't happening because of the guns. These are kids/people with emotional/social problems. Why aren't we talking about ways to deal with and prevent that? Sure its real easy to blame guns instead of ourselves for not dealing with these problems to begin with. We don't like something in this country what we do..just make it a crime. Don't try to come up with a solution to the problem. That might take precious time away from texting and cell phones, and worrying about Britney Spears shaving her head or some other dumbass celebrity being stupid. God forbid we spend our money trying to solve the social, emotional and economic problems which is what causes someone to go on a shooting spree to begin with. Lets just waste it on senseless wars, giving it to countries who hate us, and want to kill us, bull***** pork projects some politician can put their name on. I know there is no easy answer to these problems, or quick fix solution, they are very complex, but we don't even bother to try. Just make it a crime, lock em up and forget about it. We have more important things to worry about. Some radio person made an offensive comment so we need to focus on that. Some professional athelete took steriods..we need to have congressional hearings. OH MY GOD! somebody prayed at a school function. What's going to become of us? I know.. lets ban guns..that will solve our problem. The hijackers on 9/11 used box cutters and killed what 3000 people?. I can go down to dollar tree right now and buy a 3 pack of them....for.....wait for it.....A DOLLAR! I wonder what I can do with those? Hmmm... The point is, you can ban whatever you want, its not going to change anything except create more crime and more criminals and make some black marketeers RICH!

just to clarify..this is just a plugin that has the cheats built in..so I don't have to type them in or does it do more?

Using the literal definition of militia you would be correct..the national guard would not be a militia. However the the national guard was originally set up to be the militia that the constitution talks about. They were called the state militia. And their role was to protect that state from the federal government and other states after the civil war. Over the years politics turned it into a what it is today. The guard started to get military training when the US needed to quickly increase their forces during the Vietnam war. During peace time they are controlled by the state governor, and are used to keep the peace during riots and civil disturbances and to provide aid in disasters. They are in fact made up of plain ordinary citizens. Being well regulated means the rules by which they can operate. The governor just can't deploy them without following a specific set of rules. He or She just can't send them into the streets on a whim. The People we have put in office has turned them into a branch of the military. That was never what they were intended to be. Even though the first militia's were basically a bunch of farmers with muskets, they were still organized, they still had leaders and they did receive some kind of basic training. The militia has never been a bunch of yahoos with shotguns in the a pick-up truck. They have always been organized and made up of the citizens of the state, and never were "full time" soldiers. The line "congress shall make no law infringing on the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms was to prevent the federal government from outlawing the militia from having guns. So as far as banning guns, the founding fathers wanted the citizens to have guns, and by including the word militia, they wanted us to be organized. Thomas Jefferson even wrote that every 20 years the government should be violently overthrown. I think he assumed we would need guns to accomplish that.

Originally posted by: krbe Where is the militia they're talking about in the second amandment? And if they exists, what does "well regulated" mean? Those crazy gun banners in Europe actually don't ban guns; they just try as best as possible to make sure that you're not crazy before buy, that you attened organisations that are well regulated or that you're a part of a well regulated militia. My grandfather has ten guns at home; perfectly legal, given that he's not a fruit cake, not a criminal and a member of the local hunting club. And you can't compare an alcohol ban, which is used for your own enjoyment, with a gun ban which sole purpose is to kill. And if you don't have a big gun when you meet a criminal; does that mean that he'll kill you (and be eligble for life in prsion/capital punishment) or knock you out (and recieve a couple of years in prsion instead)?quote> The militia is the National Guard..regulated means rules about when and where they can operate

guns aren't the problem... its all the violence we are exposed to everyday, in movies, TV and the media. Movies make guns cool. shooting and killing someone is made to look like no big deal, its entertainment. People get killed with knives, axes, cars, baseball bats etc. Do we need ax control? Do we need to ban knives? Should you have to register your baseball bat? There are far more responsible gun owners than not. If you take away the right of someone to protect themselves crime WILL skyrocket. Do think taking away guns is going to stop innocent people from being killed? NO..people overcome and adapt. If someone wants to kill other people they will just find other means. Its been proven over and over again in towns were concealed carry is allowed and even encouraged, that crime has decreased. Gun deaths have actually gone down in those areas. Do people get needlessly killed by a gun? Yes.. but drunk drivers kill thousands of innocent people everyday.Should we totally ban alcohol? Half of the teenage deaths in the US are caused by inexperienced teen drivers on high speed roads. So no drivers licenses to anyone under 25..right? Every time the government bans something they create crime. They create an underground market. Just like they did with alcohol in 20's and drugs today. I know people who have gotten rich selling pot and cocaine. Sure ban guns.. then the only persons that will have them are the ones who are out rob, steal and kill. They don't care about the law. I was in law enforcement, and private security and never once fired my weapon in the line of duty.. I own pistols..never once have I ever used it on another human being. The people who want to ban guns..or anything else for that matter..always use the extreme incidents. They always make things out to be far worse than they are. Scare tactics has always been the way to get what they want. A ban on guns is not and will not ever be the answer. Gun control was started in Germany when Hitler was in charge..once the government had control of the guns..look what happened. And if you don't think that could happen in the US you'd better think again. The US government has been doing little test scenarios in some small towns in recent years, using the children against the parents to find out who had weapons in their homes. It was supposed to be urban training for the military..they have been also getting that training in Iraq..house to house taking weapons. Read the Patriot Act. This country is heading down a road that we, our children and grand children are all going to regret. Gun control is just the start.. believe me. Those who want guns taken away will call all this paranoid fantasy. All I can say is research it for yourself, because I didn't believe it at first either.

Tonight on the way home I filled up and gas was $2.87. I live in Northeast PA in the Pocono's. I just traded in my SUV back in june for an 05 Ford Focus and it gets 35mpg to the gallon highway and about 30mpg running around town. Which isn't too bad, but it still cost me $34 to fill-up.
