That's great until they start hunting down and terminating every student named John Conner.

We might do the right thing in the short term, but in the long term apocalypse.

There was a cop in our jr high in nj (happened to be my dad's cousin) but he was really there to discourage smoking and drugs I guess.

The gun nuts in the US are nuts. Here is a letter that a marine sent to a Senator proposing more restrictive gun laws that the gun nuts are applauding:

Quote:
Senator Dianne Feinstein,

I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.

I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.

I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.

I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.

We, the people, deserve better than you.

Respectfully Submitted,
Joshua Boston
Cpl,
United States Marine Corps

Could anyone other than an American have written that tripe?

This is completely ignorant. So by this guy's logic, we shouldn't have to register our vehicles either. What an absolute moron.

If I was worried so much about the goverment knowing stuff about me and right to privacy I would think this whole registering as a R or D for voting would be even more worrying.

Or in the case of this guy, joining the military. It's not like they take down any information about you when you do that or anything.

Are you saying the army knows if you are a R or D?

I dont know I was talking about registering as a dem or rep seems silly if you are worried about privacy and goverment tyranny.

I thought you said you give out the info when you enlist.

I was just double checking if that is what you are saying.

I guess I'm lost.

Well i guess that makes 2 of us. This guy is against giving out information apparently, yet enlisted in the military. Where they take down a #### ton of your information. That's all I've got.

Morgan interviews Alex Jones (the man that started the petition to have him deported) tonight on his show.

A very interesting, surreal and disturbing interaction.

I found it hilarious that the nut wanted to deport Piers for speaking against the second amendment when the speaking against it falls into first admendment.

I'm glad they put that guy on TV. Shows you the type of people that want nothing more than to protect their right to bear arms. I imagined mikey looking like that typing out his posts about stuff like this.

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!

I think Jones did a great job of convincing the American public that anti gun control people aren't manic, ranting, angry, violent people.

Clever move at the end ..... "What do you think about 911?"

For anyone interested in the "debate." I think it's only a segment though.

I'm only about 4 and a half minutes in and Piers Morgan has barely uttered a word and I think he's still winning by a landslide...
