  1. Not only what Nick posted, but if life did spontaneously occur in peanut butter (LOL), it would be in the form of a single cell organism, and it is possible (though unlikely) that it has happened in the past, or is happening now.
  2. She will have back problems later.
  3. You took a political thread and somehow made it about the easter bunny. That's going off on a tangent in my book. I love you Keith.

    Thanks Bill, list updated to reflect sold movies.

    I live close to Mitchells. My number is in the first post.

    DVD's

    Yes and yes. Thanks for the replies. P.S. - No movies are spoken for until I have cash in hand. It is nothing personal, I have lost sales in the past when I hold a movie for someone who backs out.
  8. Egypt, Venezuela, India, Portugal...I can go on. Agreed. The problem is the influence that large corporations have over the government. Our legislative system represents those who can pay for influence, and to me, that is not the majority of the people. Our laws on monopolies are representative of socialist ideals. Another problem is the idiotic welfare system we have that puts people off of social funding. I think a welfare system is necessary, and I think ours is inadequate and ineffective.
  9. I think you need to look up the definition of "always", and be careful where you use it in a sentence. Are you in favor of the US being a purely capitalist economy, or do you feel that we should have a mixed economy? Be careful, my response is dependent on your answer. Edit: A sixth grader would have been able to write that sentence correctly.

    DVD's

    You can buy any DVD for $5, a group of five for $15, or you can have them all for $75. If you would like to make an offer on a large group, do it. http://www.darkformula.net/files/Smilies/emot-haw.gif Remember the Titans Run Lola Run Road House Roger Dodger The Return of the Pink Panther Jackie Chan - The Legend of Drunken Master Mean Girls Nothing But Trouble Interstate 60 8 Mile Swimfan Wildthings License to Drive Strange Days The Green Mile Good Will Hunting Breakin' All the Rules Goonies The Bourne Identity Psycho UHF The Full Ten Yards Man on the Moon The Whole Nine Yards Save the Last Dance The Long Kiss Goodnight Friends (The One With All The Parties) Ernest Goes to Camp Freddy got Fingered Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon The Exorcist III 614.448.6988, or elihoff23@yahoo.com, or as always, you can PM me here.
  11. Please describe what you understand about the theories of those types of governments, and how you feel your post about the ACLU supports your case.
  12. But the second amendment states "right to bear arms", not firearms. Perhaps those weapons are crucial in securing just those freedoms that the second amendment was designed to protect. Don't those laws infringe on our right to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government?
  13. Rule #2, you do not talk about speeding through Whitehall.
  14. The national guard serves as our militia, since Roosevelt. Not the Armed Forces. The point is they must be seperate. Edit: Rick, do you take issue with a large Muslim sect stockpiling automatic weapons and explosives? Their right to keep those weapons to defend themselves from a "tyrannical government" is in esence what you are arguing for. If that Muslim group (just an example) takes it upon themselves to defend their personal rights, are they acting in accordance with what the writers of the Constitution meant? How do you feel about the invasion of the Branch Davidians? Timothy McVeigh was doing the same thing as well. Are these people terrorists or patriots?
  15. Godwins law. You lose the argument.

  17. I think you misunderstand the history of the second amendment, and also of socialism or communism.
  18. I think there is a certain amount of time you have to send some sort of letter disputing the debt. However, I would watch my wording and stick to the facts.
  19. I originally read the article as saying it was a school sponsored trip. If the student is not a representative of the school in any manner, what he does away from school should not be punishable (by the school).
  20. I don't think his rights were violated. He expressed himself, no laws were passed preventing him from doing so, and the principal of the school is within her rights in suspending him. Freedom of speech does not mean speech without consequence.
