johnnyrig: I actually agree with you - I don't think it's a coincidence that these horrors are seldom directly perpetrated by billionaires.
The war on drugs has cost the U.S. at least a trillion dollars and has resulted in little more than the destruction of the lives of millions of otherwise harmless U.S. citizens. That trillion dollars would have been more intelligently spent on prevention and treatment programs instead of filling up prisons.
Poverty is at the root of much crime, and instead of spending billions upon billions of dollars to build yet more prisons plus hiring people to guard non-violent offenders, those dollars could be spent more humanely to provide social services for the needy.
I don't have the least doubt that these measures, if implemented, would result in a spectacular drop in the U.S. crime rate.

Make love, not war.
Funny, your post sounds like a scream for vengeance. A scream for obliterating more rights. A scream of hate. And a scream for war! Are you some kind of new political judge and jury that only you know how to cure man's ills? Maybe take a little time out and reflect on your meaning of Make love, not war.
If you need some good examples I suggest looking into what the kin of those who were murdered in cold blood has said to the face of this cold killer. Its in the news, but barely. Go witness what a Christian does in the face of his enemy, and be prepared for lesson son. You weren't even involved and YOU want to dictate laws that govern THEIR future? The huevos on you. Tiny

Stewart, i agree.
Blue- the lessons i've had from good Christian folk is that a damn good healthy percentage of them aren't nearly as tolerant, peaceful, or open minded as they like to claim.

Now YOU have better intelligence than our entire government on how it should spend OUR money? YOUR idea is for the government to spend trillions on teaching us how to behave?? Maybe that's what YOUR government does and it seems to have been a waste of money. If you learn anything today, learn this: GOVERNMENTS ARE NOT PUT IN PLACE TO DICTATE OR SWAY THE BEHAVIORS OF SOCIETY.
Ours is The Land of The Free! Learn it! And fear it if you must.

A good Christian would be armed and ready to snuff his enemies out, or so were told.

BLUEBLOCKR: Damn right I'm seeking vengeance - I'm seeking vengeance for the victims of your "right" to murder them.
If you want to delude yourself that you're some kind of a hero, perhaps you could become a fireman or a paramedic - those people put their lives on the line to keep people alive, and they can go to sleep at night secure in the knowledge that they're not gleeful supporters of a culture of murder.
The whole world is watching, and human beings all over the planet are sickened by your infantile paranoia.
Take a look in the mirror. You are a cancer upon the soul your nation.
Oh, and when you've got the time, check out the Sermon on the Mount. There isn't a single word that Christ said that has a single thing in common with the beliefs of sparrowfarts like you and your ilk.

PLEASE son, you've just proven you don't even have the comprehension to understand what I wrote. A person would have to be a fool to take any direction from you regarding the bible.
Now go back to your bedroom and continue sucking on your bong %d

Blu, the Bible was written not to be taken literally.
nonsense
Blu has stated that the bible is the direct word of god, all of it, and not written by humans
every enslaving, murdering word of it, direct from god as instructions for us

You Americans are too damn stupid to do anything right.
Take all the guns away and you morons will still find a way to kill each other in different way.
Your whole country is rooted in violence.
You eat nothing but violence.
You're too stupid to see all the violence you commit against nature and the rest of the world.
You're Karma is so full of violence it's unbelievable.
Stooopid Americans ....

Hey norton
I've heard one doesn't even have to be a Christian to understand the value of telling the truth. You know honor, and all that other stuff. So what I was wondering was, what's the feeling you get when go to the extent of thinking up and actually spending some of your last tiered movements you have left here on this wonderful planet writing what you know to be outright lies promoting YOUR hate toward another person?

BLUEBLOCKR: So what did I get wrong about the Sermon on the Mount?
I guess Jesus actually meant that it's OK for white trash to unload on unarmed citizens because it's their "right" to have the highest gun murder rate in the world (by a country mile among advanced democratic industrialized nations)?
Oh, and about my earlier posts and your pathetic responses... uh...
pearls before swine.
By the way, the rest of planet Earth is also disgusted with your spewage (hey! I just coined a word!) of this murderous crap, so I'm far from alone.

QITNL^^^ well you can be certain I've tried my best, but there's just to much : (
Mostly I'm drawn by mistakes like the you just posted. If you believe the kkk are Christian and are representative of Jesus, then I would tell you to your face your absolutely WRONG. if your just sling'in hateful arrows ill just stop there. But if you wanted to debate at a mature level I'd show you truthful reason as why the kkk are NOT followers of Christ.

I said nothing nowhere near that. In a nutshell a Christian knows God will have vengeance. And a good visual sign of a Christian is what he does when he is wronged. That's why I pointed at what the relatives of the victims did the day after their loved ones where murdered. They went face to face with the perp and forgave him. This reaction flies in the face of the human animal. And it does not work in any of man's governmental establishments.

You know language like that is easy to decipher which spirit is doin the prompting. Would you like a few verses? When people go to those extremes they become blinded by thinking they are fighting a war for God. In their delusion they start pulling out all sorts of Old Testament laws. But as a Christ follower, our only fight is with the prince of lies.

No worries. Soon as you revert to twisting words it's apparent who's twisting your intellect. Just please pray for control over your own mind : )
