  • How can US citizens who claim guns should not be banned, explain these facts...?

    This is from FOX news: "Gun crime is rare in Britain, and handguns are completely illegal. The ban is so strictly enforced that Britain's Olympic pistol shooting team is barred from practicing in its own country.

    Britain's 46 homicides involving firearms was the lowest total since the late 1980s. New York City, with 8 million people compared to 53 million in England and Wales, recorded at least 579 homicides last year." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,266509,00.html

    Doesn't this prove that you're living in complete denial and don't have a single leg to stand on? If it doesn't, please provide your proof that everyone having a gun would result in fewer homicides and also prove why banning guns wouldn't work, they're banned in the UK and it works there. Thanks.

  • How is it possible to be a vegetarian when micro-organisms live and die all over you and inside you?

    What about all the microscopic organisms in all humans? There's millions of them in every human body. They die in human bodies and come out in the feces along with dead bacteria and waste etc. There's also loads of micro-organisms all over human skin, hair, eye-lashes etc... that humans kill when they bathe or shower. It hasn't been scientifically proven whether or not these micro-organisms can feel pain or are aware of their existence; they may be, they may not be. Even if they aren’t aware and don’t feel pain it’s still moving, reproducing life. So where do you draw the line? I don't understand. I don't know what these organisms are scientifically classed as, but I know for sure that they aren't vegetables or fruit. I don't understand how it's possible to be a vegetarian.

    I'm not stating an opinion I'm asking questions and also mentioning what I heard on the Discovery Channel. I genuinely want to know how it's possible to be a vegetarian. The Discovery Channel says it's not possible

  • Why don't we pull out all troops and then nuke Iraq, Iran, etc...?

    The people in those countries think that when they die they're going to spend eternity with Allah and 40 virgins etc. So surely killing them all would be doing them a favor.

    Why should US and British troops continue to die for people who don't deserve to even be called human? They all hate us. The people in those counties have nothing to live for, they'd be better off dead.

    If we nuked them, no more troops would die, but all the crazy Islamic nuts would die.
