    Finally, some good news for a change (more states expanding gun rights)

    I have FINALLY been able to access the last pages of this thread; until now, I have not been able to even see or edit my posts. Right after making my above post, I realized that I had forgotten to add the following, for whatever its worth (I know some are skeptical about the accuracy of...

    If marijuana is legal, can it be moral?

    Bill Clinton! He doesn't inhale. :P Seriously, what was ludicrous about his statement is that inhaling smoke from marijuana wasn't illegal, ... but just holding the joint (possession) WAS. Heh, heh, heh. I can just picture Hillary and all the other democrats at the party getting stoned...

    If marijuana is legal, can it be moral?

    Good post. :thumbsup: Regarding 'regulation', should we be able to grow marijuana for our own use, in comparison to making wine and brewing beer for our own consumption? (After prohibition, homebrewing was illegal under federal law all the way up until Jimmy Carter, and there are still some...

    Finally, some good news for a change (more states expanding gun rights)

    But logically, that does not necessarily follow. It is quite possible that would-be robbers had been deterred at the mere sight of swords hanging from the belts of disciples, and that if those disciples had NOT been visibly armed then they would have been attacked. In comparison, I can imagine...

    Not so fast there, my speedy turtle. :P And speaking of speed, this is an appropriate time to explain my lengthy delay in responding -- the agonizingly slow access that I must constantly contend with on this website. I'm pulling my hair out. Just because you managed to find an article based...

    Heh, heh. Wait just a minute, Hoss; she IS the Attorney General and not just some Deputy that your argument could possibly work with -- like with some inexperienced underling who opines on his/her own, and without knowledge/approval of the A.G., and then the A.G. might try to draw some sort of...

    2013?? You're talking about the FORMER Attorney General. The CURRENT one opined just the opposite THIS year! You need to keep up with the times. I have given my legal opinion (I was licensed in 1981), which included 31 years of experience as a City Attorney (including as a Deputy City...

    man arrested for burning gay pride flag; resisting arrest

    Yes, I know that it is very common. But it is unethical. And I never did it during my 31 years as a City Attorney/Prosecutor. Your brother in Christ, Bill Velek

    Finally, some good news for a change (more states expanding gun rights)

    This is not the first suggestion of this sort in this thread (I believe chopping wood was also suggested earlier). I'm sorry that I'm late in responding, but it is extremely tedious for me due to CF website issues -- error messages sometimes becoming so persistent and constant that reading and...

    Finally, some good news for a change (more states expanding gun rights)

    I agree 100%. And I also need to correct myself where I stated in several posts that Arkansas is now 'open carry'; it is actually 'Constitutional carry', the difference being that 'open carry' requires the weapon to be visible and not carried concealed unless one has a concealed carry permit...

    man arrested for burning gay pride flag; resisting arrest

    Felony arson?! I guess they must have figured the value of the flag to be $100.00 or more (Nebraska law arson law). Seems a bit expensive to me as compared to Ebay. And that is BEFORE any enhancement as a hate crime?? Perhaps the 'felony' charge is precisely because of political correctness...

    Finally, some good news for a change (more states expanding gun rights)

    Well, thankfully the State of Arkansas has finally received clarification from our new Attorney General that Arkansas is, indeed, an 'open carry' state. Despite channel 11's title for its news segment -- 'Controversial billboard causing open carry confusion' -- there is NO confusion in the...

    What colors are this dress to you?

    I know what optical illusions are, but my point was this: why is this ... (at least seemingly, as far as I know) ... the first and only instance where two people can look at a photograph at the same time and disagree on the colors? If there had ever been such a similar occurrence during the...

    What kind of Eastern Christian would you be?

    Eastern Orthodox Communion (100%) Antiochian Rite Catholicism (81%) East Syrian Rite Catholicism (81%) Armenian Apostolic Church (74%) Coptic Orthodox Church (74%) I don't know whether this was a gimmick of some sort or how accurate it is, but I think it is good for me because it has...
