You're right using a clean needle is no where near safer than using one previously used by someone with HIV.

Sorry but if they are dumb enough to shoot up in the first place, I really don't care if they are dumb enough to get HIV off a used needle. How about something to this effect: If you don't shoot up with a used needle you have a 100% chance of not getting HIV by transmission of said needle. Also see: If you practice abstinence you have a 100% chance of not getting/getting a girl pregnant.

Sorry hadn't had my caffeine yet.

I don't know I have mixed feelings. Usually educating someone is the first step. If you can at least get 'clean use' into their heads than i think treating the root problem (heroine use) probably becomes easier without the distractions. You also limit the risk of transfer of nasty stuff to non-users they may be involved with.

Distractions of what? Getting HIV from a used needle? If you imlant the idea of "safely" shooting up, when you tell them they need to get clean, they will say "Why? I'm being safe in how I shoot up." It will come to the point that they will think what they are doing is safe and okay by societies standards, which by the article is okay by our standards.

Here's my complaint.... the establishment clause is pretty clear.... putting G-d on money is nearly as clear a violation.

All personal beliefs aside, do YOU believe this is NOT a violation of establishment? Regardless of what you think is RIGHT or WRONG or what represents this country or the founders of this country. Do you believe the 2 quotes above are in contradiction?

I see your point. My understanding is that "God" is not referring to one certain god but the idea of a higher being.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Good read.

I have read that before. It is a good read and very informative. Most people believe that phrase has always been on our money, and ""Under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance.

Fishsticks and fries tonight.

I'd have to see some actual figures to justify the program' date=' but I don't like it. If people exercised responsibility these users wouldn't pose any kind of threat. Plus, what's better than a dead heroin addict? A city filled with dead heroin addicts. [/quote']

This reminds me of the news story about the burglar who was robbing this house and he fell through the roof and broke his leg. He then turned around and sued the owner of the house. Maybe we should put out thousands of fliers about safe burglary habits?

Ah, the good ole US of A. Where you can be raped and be charged for giving your attacker HIV.

IMO Spending money, that we don't have I might add, to support and aid an illegal and dangerous activity is morally and ethically wrong.

Back in the day when they were made of silver, if the edges were smooth and people would shave some off the coin. Would spend the coin at face value, but was worth less than that. then use the silver shavings. Here's a better worded explaination if interested. http://chestofbooks.com/reference/The-New-Student-s-Reference-Work-Vol5/Why-The-Edges-Of-Coins-Are-quot-Milled-quot.html

Here a coin related question to see if anyone knows. why are there grooves on the edges of certain coins like dimes and quarters?

Whoa, what the hell is this site? google.com? Whats does it do? A link to snopes.com? what is that?

I'm sure it's fear mongering even though your image is red x

Is this too soon?

Never too soon

Your pic is just an red X, but if this is about the coins not saying "In God We Trust", they do, it is printed on the edge of the coin.

Why not have a pamphlet on suicide. They are gonna do it so might as well help to pick the right way to cut or right place to shoot. "Test fire the gun to make sure it works." I mean c'mon. This is ridiculus. If you cannot see how bad of an idea this is, you need to pull the wool off your eyes. I think if someone is dumb enough to do this, why make it easier/safer for them to do it? Natural Selection always wins in the end.

Hmm...really....cool. What's the catch though?

Schedule permitting, Im in.

Just throwing this out there, I have never been on a stop going to/from deployment, either overseas or states side, or getting ready to go on mission the USO hasn't been there to give out food, drinks, hygiene kits and the works. Having a group of them to welcome you home, to hug you and shake your hand and not even know you is...well, I have no words.

But puppies are cute too. And children need help too, not trying to sound like an a-hole and forget them.

I'd invite you to a Tea Party

Since there is a "What's for lunch" thread.

Chili and cornbread. Yum.

HAHA, too funny Todd.

Don't think too many people could last very long going at any kind of speed....that makes my gut hurts just thinking about it. Hey Jporter...we have any axles lying around to hook up to the half car?

USO!!! SUPPORT THE MILITARY. That's my thoughts...

Welcome.
