-Demosthenes-

It's not required anywhere to own a gun, not in the states! I don't get your problems with guns, there are plenty of other wepons and items that poeple can use for that kinda stuff. There are plenty of licences and waiting periods to keep guns out of the wrong hands. Guys get picked up soon enough for having a gun when they are not supposed to.

I meant the genus. Okay I was trying to funny, a little.

What's wrong with just carying around pepper spray. I saw something about pepper spray get bears to run off (sounds plenty powerful to me )

I really don't mean to slam Brtian, I really don't. It really stings to hear things like that from you. We're allies. If someone attcked England the US would be the first to smash the crap out of the nation that attacked. And I'm sure it works both ways too. Sorry. Anyway, if you think about it you have to give up rights to get more freedom and visa versa. I'm leaning more towards freedom, that's all.

Ever read the princess bride? I'm reading for school, did ya know that Morganstein isn't a real person.

I'm tried of you American Bashing Brits! We are the only truly free country in the world. The rest of the world does have that problem, and if I have to give a little safety up to keep my freedom, THEN SO BE IT! My stance has changed!

they didn't even find very big phrases, maybe they found phrases like "End of World" near other words like "comet" but they could easily find other words like "flood". It's really just a hoax.

I don't know if it make's sense, it does to me

No, it doesn't say that. The way that equal distant letter works is: They scan the original Hebrew into a computer. They look for words that form every X amount of letters. So let's say that they found the word Bible using it, in every 5 letters. The passage that they found it in would have the letters B I B L E ever five letters. So it might look something like this: abcdB efghI ijklB mnopL qrstE (only instead of just letters where I used abcd... they found the word among a passage in the bible, didn't want to take the time to find a passage that works ) Then they put the word Bible down the side and spell out the rest of the letters like this: abcdB efghI ijklB mnopL qrstE (just pretend all the letters line up) Then they look for words in the "grid" of letters, like a word search. So when they found the phrase "End of the world" (maybe they found "eath destroyed" or something like that) They found words like "comet" in the "Grid" of letters, and since hebrew letters also mean numbers they can pull the number 2010 or 2012 out of the "grid" if they want to. I hope this explained it.

"Guns (as a concept) were designed to kill (well, cause severe damage, if you're taking them as evolving from cannon). Cars (as a concept) were designed to move people about faster than walking without the need for horses." Very first, guns were invented to help gather food and hunt. I think Well anyway, Just put gun education in public schools. That could at least help. :shrug: Better police force would be a lot of money, if the goveremnt had unlimited money there's a whole lot of things they could do. They could hire people to observe a firearm buyer and decide if they are able to own one safely. When it boils down to it (like soup ) We can: 1) Leave it alone, and do nothing 2) Spend gobs of money 3) Ban guns (which dosen't sound very practical) 4) Education 5) set off a bomb and kill everyone so we don't have this problem (sounds slightly less practical then #3 )

I saw this thing on the TV about solar panals, and it had a little part about a type of window that only lets like half the light through. It absorbs the other half and converts it into electricity. They claimed that if a skyscaper had these windows then it could power itself. What if everyone had these windows? Is this sound plausible? PS: sorry if i go a little off topic, and ruining your conversation on over-weight hampters

"fixed"?? What did you mean, I'm rather clueless most of the time Anyway, I think most people with guns are just fine, but what are we going to do about the people who are shooting other people?

It's called Equal distant lettering, They use the original hebrew to "translate" from. In a really big book you can find just about anything you want using this "code".

I did. Guns aren't responcible for deaths, the people are. However, the gun plays a role in that death, and if taken away would prevent such an act. So we are left to one conclusion in order to save these people and prevent future incidents: Get rid of the guns, or get rid of the bad guys.

Because of what happened in WWI. We stayed out of it and things got way to out of hand. It could happen again if we don't clear things up early.

Only one thing can kill people! Guns can't kill people, people can't kill people. Death kills people, it's a proven medical fact
