Why would you want the government to be able to have a say in whether or not you are to carry a pregnancy or have an abortion? And why would a person argue that they have the right to own an automatic assault rifle/gun, simply over the use of the word "arms" (with little to no regulation/control/restrictions etc.)? Who are these simple minds anyway? If you don't like abortions then don't get one. Easy as that. But to have the government tell a woman that she cannot get an abortion is absurd. What next? Will they regulate when we shit next, and where, and what kinds of toilet tissue we can use? How can this remain a "free country" with a government that makes decisons for us, before the circumstances of each individual case are even heard? The talk of "helpless, innocent little unborn lives" and about what's fair makes me want to wretch! Why do people get so involved and so violently devoted to an unborn life that has yet to even get on the ground? Why don'twe just worry about the people who are here already, worry about people living and breathing and carrying on day to day that actually have lives. Stop worrying about somebody else's embryo/fetus, for cryin' out loud!
Especialy when the same folks also believe that owning an Uzi submachine gun should be allowed cause we have the right to bear arms! "Arms", technically should include bombs, missles, grenades, rocket launchers, and many other weapons then right? These are all a form of "firearms". Of course this sounds ridiculous right? "Why would anybody need to own their own atom bomb? get real!"
..." But it's my right to own arms".., whatever! There need to be some changes with the issuances of firearms, in this country, and that's all there is to it. Anyone that disagrees is just plain stupid and insensitive. Wait and see how they feel when their child is shot at recess at the local school, by a classmate packin' a pistol! Or when their aunt or grandmother gets sniped while fillin' the tank at the local Exxon station! So many deaths every year, time after time... so many unnecessary lives lost, limbs lost, dreams lost... all with the bullets of a "right" to own a gun. The right to be a psychopath, convict, or a fucked in the head yahoo with a shotgun under you car seat(and one for under the pillow too!) should not be included. What should be included is the right for gun sellers to do a mandatory screening/background check that results in a denial of sale/restriction to own a gun etc., along with mandatory registration of all guns to an individual complete with fingerprinting, DNA tracing, satellite tracked weapon location ability, mandatory training on correct usage of guns and safety and risk assessments, responsible ownership courses, and limited access to rapid firing weapons that sole purpose is to kill another human being would be nice for starters. It just doesn't seem very logical to tell someone what they can or cannot do with their own body or life, and then turn and give them the capability to end multiple lives with the ease of a trigger. And how can one be so devoted to protecting an unborn life, and so quick to bang on a frying pan, to end another (think Ted Bundy, execution...)The death penalty is barbaric and morbid, yet people are so quick to do the sentencing. Timothy McVey? Gone, just like that. Did it make ya'll feel better to have him killed? What did it really change? Don't you think he was just a scape goat, someone to point the finger at and say "he's a very bad man, and now he must die". The same way the U.S. carried on with the stupid search for Osama bin Laden! Like all terrorism will magically end and the clouds will part and birds start singing when they finally get Osama? Like ending him will end everything that he stands for?!
This country is crazy! Here in the U.S. we celebrate our so called freedoms, and we praise ourselves for our accomplishments of a democratic society, that fought for it's freedoms, and blah blah blah, "land of the free and home of the brave"! What a bunch of bullshit! Yes, I said it alright! It's true and you know it, (so take the wool off of your eyes and admit it ! Tell me, how brave is it to infect thousands of people with smallpox by giving them contaminated blankets. How free are you when your land is seized and resold, and you are forced to live on a sectioned off reserved portion of an area that your family had lived on generation after generation before you? How nice it must have felt to see your entire tribe be wiped out and all of it's history gone with the help of Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan. Are you catchin' my drift here? People need to be a little more sensitive, a lot less ignorant and a ton more rational. I am not a communist, a terrorist, an anti U.S. type, or "unpatriotic person. But I am also NOT so arrogant to think that this country and all of it's citizens , and all of it's dirty, ugly past descended down from the heavens like some sort of fairly tale biblical nonsense either! Wake up America! This country is headed for something awful, and you can thank George W. Bush and his Dick (Cheney silly...what did you think I meant?!) Take the wool off your eyes, and take your thumbs out your mouths! We need "W" out of office, NOW! CHECK THIS OUT"
