    If so many people are anti gun, why are most of the top shows on tv gun related?

    I think it'd be pretty cool, to show someone who carries a gun, and not necessarily use it. It'd drive people nuts.

    If so many people are anti gun, why are most of the top shows on tv gun related?

    The way I see it, on TV, there's a pretty clear reason for why a character has a gun. Another thing to note, is that guns are only shown when they're used, pretty much. I don't think that most people are anti-gun, I just think that they're not that pro-gun.

    Antis on HuffPost going ape over Zumbo affair

    Excellent point. (About the AWB) BTW This forum and others like it have got me from not caring about an AWB, to thinking one is stupid.

    Airport X-ray Goggles

    The radiation output is pretty impressive. http://www.rapiscansystems.com/sec1000.html It's less than backgound radiation exposure.

    Airport X-ray Goggles

    That's the price of embracing technology. Citizens developed and sell this technology. Make it cheap enough, and everyone will have one. And you'll cut down drastically on terroristic incidents. Having a terrorist shoot up a passenger terminal isn't as bad as having a terrorist hijack a...

    Airport X-ray Goggles

    Tell me that's not cool. It's almost as cool as the "airport" scanners in "Total Recall". Seems to me, that's it's clear enough to stop false positives. Less hassle for the people going through it. And it'll detect plastic stuff too, by shape.

    Thoughts and facts on suicide.

    You're never going to stop the behaviour of suicide. Or homicide for that matter. You could make a dent in it, by jinxing some social factors. For instance, the Japanese have a high rate of student suicide, which they could probably drop by easing the stigma of academic failure. What's...

    Is the Online Community Conservative?

    I'll kill it if a moderator asks me. I'm not advocating having a forum war, just to be clear. I don't even think I'd waste my time arguing with them on their site. It's just good to see things first hand instead of third hand. And one should always follow the forum rules wherever you go.

    Is the Online Community Conservative?

    I highly doubt that. I'm sorry to go off on a tangent, but a lot of racists self-identify as conservatives. This is derived from my experiences arguing with them on bulletin boards. Particularily with StormFronters. P.S. What you're also describing is the Dixiecrats, who should be...

    Is the Online Community Conservative?

    Trust me, as a left leaning moderate, there are plenty of issues more important than guns. We're at war for one, and losing our civil liberties piecemeal for another. Not all liberals are anti-gunners. Saying so is just as unfair as saying that all conservatives are racist.

    Calling Giuliani on his many lies

    There are illegal cars depending on how they're configured. I tried to find a link listing illegal modifications, but from what I've seen they're at the county and state level.

    Things are ripe for a military coup

    I think it needs said, a coup is where the govt. is overthrown by the military. It's not when the military acts against civilians. Word on the street is that a coup was considered over the Iraq war, but never happened.

    Passengers Overpower Armed Hijacker

    I just read that the pilot slammed on his brakes, causing the hijacker to fall (he was the only one standing). Then, the passengers swarmed him. http://www.caycompass.com/cgi-bin/CFPnews.cgi?ID=1020059
