Israel is not a hostile power in any description but if the man broke the law he should be punished.<BR/><BR/>No doubt he will get a longer sentence then your Commie Pals at Code Pink that gave money to our enemies in Falujah. Then there is the never ending list of muslim Charities that are front groups for terror. I might also point out CAIRS connections to Hezbollah. I might also point out the Muslim FBI agent who was insubordinate and botched the Sami Al Arian case. The governments priorities are warped but not even close to yourwarped anti semitic obsessions.

And you cannot understand "life" unless you understand it's opposite. And the MSM spews nothing but "blue" messages... and have infected the entire nation with the "blues".<BR/><BR/>I doubt Paris Hilton could ever wring a chickens neck prior to making supper... she's probably a vegetarian anyways.<BR/><BR/>Life requires sacrifice. The blue staters have been insulated from the concept of sacrifice for far too long. No wonder they hold few things "holy".<BR/><BR/>-FJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1137770377492514212006-01-20T10:19:00.000-05:002006-01-20T10:19:00.000-05:00Storm,Not long ago, an Australian blogger and I w...Storm,<BR/>Not long ago, an Australian blogger and I were chatting about some of the gang activity in his country.

Guns are just part of daily life and people grow up learning to use and respect them. They are almost part of a rite of passage and wisdom passed down from parent to child.<BR/><BR/>In the safer parts of NYC a gun is a curiousity object for most and reviled by a vocal minority. Uptown the residents are sadly too familiar with guns and improper usage of the equipment. However a stable heatlthy parent child relationship is often non existent.<BR/>Thus what a person learns about many things come from the street and an entire range of maladies stem from that. Clergymen and peaceful folk are caught in a battle with the lure of the streets any many fall victim to a desire within for an easy route.<BR/><BR/>I worked with residendents of a halfway house in NJ.<BR/><BR/>FJ <BR/><BR/>Wait till we get to kids and guns<BR/>this gets funnier.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1137765953442294472006-01-20T09:05:00.000-05:002006-01-20T09:05:00.000-05:00Beak,Just yesterday, a student in my class was dis...Beak,<BR/>Just yesterday, a student in my class was discussing the matter of gun ownership with me; also involved in the discussion was the matter of gun control and how far the state should go with that measure. <BR/><BR/>The student's point, in part, was that children brought up in rural areas are not as likely to abuse the use of guns because they understand what death means (in that death is not sanitized in the country as death is sanitized in the movies). The student also pointed out that so many kids today seem to have emotional disturbances. I pointed out to the student that I feel that many parents have abrogated their parental responsibilites.<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts from you on what my student and I discussing? What I've mentioned here is a very brief synopsis of yesterday's discussion, and I may not be summarizing well. Still, I'm interested in what you have to say on the aspect I've just mentioned.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216119321836479641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1137765490799249322006-01-20T08:58:00.000-05:002006-01-20T08:58:00.000-05:00Prevent forest fires...register matches.-FJPrevent forest fires...<BR/><BR/>register matches.<BR/><BR/>-FJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1137762340308608572006-01-20T08:05:00.000-05:002006-01-20T08:05:00.000-05:00As the old Texan told the Burglar.
