####ing horrible, but why are 12 yr olds out at a nightclub (or anywhere) that late?

I was an all-ages party hosted for teens

Getting so tired and frustrated when I read these things, because nobody wants to take the common sense approaches and the second amendment is basically nothing more then a murder suicide pact.

I too have been to all ages parties, but...
A "swimsuit glow party" for kids aged 12-17?

It's friggen crazy how much they worship that one sentence written 200 years ago.

"Congress shall have power to... declare war." Hey, remember the last time Congress declared war? I don't, because I wasn't alive in the 1940's, which is the last time they did it. The United States has declared war five times (War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II). Beyond that, Congress has also authorized funding for many conflicts, including Vietnam, but stopped at all out war. On at least 125 occasions though, the President of the US has acted without any prior authorization from congress. Today, Article 1, Section 8 is assisted by what is known as the "War Powers Resolution", established in the 70's. Unfortunately many President's have been known to ignore this resolution as well.

Found this sentence in the article, too: "Online state records show the alcohol licence for the club was revoked June 7." Gotta do something to get them in the door, I guess.

Is it really that surprising?

A large chunk of them worship a book written 2000 years ago.

They really need to dump more funding into both mental health and education.

The amendment only codifies (vaguely) what was already an existing "right" set in earlier common law and, apparently, the English Bill of Rights of 1689 (says Google). There's nothing preventing a common-sense judiciary from interpreting reasonable limits on the right to bear arms, despite this amendment you hate so much. Unfortunately there IS something preventing them from being *asked* to make an interpretation -- primarily Republican politicians and their voters/donors.

the bottom line is that the right to bear arms was written as a response to the concept of repression. So as nice as it is to say, we merely need to ask for a re-interpretation, the minute that mechanism comes into play the population will interpret it as a repressive action, and scream about it.

They wrote the perfect bear trap with the right to bear arms, because there's no way that you can sell changing it without people feeling that the government is trying to gain more control and thus repress their rights.

I believe that even if you loaded the bench with Liberal judges that they would make the changes that we would like to see.

There's this weird teen "nightclub" trend in the states where establishments that are typically adult clubs serve no alcohol on a slow night and make it a kids' club. It is like "High School Dance 2.0: Now with fewer adults, less supervision and no moral judgements!" I was grossed out by some images of 12 year old girls twerking on 12 year old boys with deer in the headlights looks on their faces.

You might need to spend some time in the slammer for watching that.

Internet police? Where are you?

Well, they were still images where everyone was clothed. No need to gather the pitchforks yet.
