The 2nd Amendment guarantees an American's RIGHT to own firearms. Much like the 1st Amendment guarantees the concept to keep Church and State separate.
"I have no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied, especially in tales written to teach children to be good, that babies are born pretty much alike, and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, and man and man, are steady application and moral effort. It is in the most unqualified manner that I object to pretensions of natural equality. The experiences of the nursery, the school, the University, and of professional careers, are a chain of proofs to the contrary."- Francis Galton, "Hereditary Genius"
"There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind..." - introductory line to "Gone With The Wind"
"Lindoro gave full rein to his vulgar loquacity, interposing cant expressions, indecent retcences, shrewed revealing smiles, ambiguous gestures, little smackings of the tongue and lips.
He pimped artistically, he knew how to insinuate corruption into Giuliana's mind, he knew how to draw prey slowly into Marcello's trap. And Guiliana listened intently, with a growing flame in the depths of her eyes..." - Gabrielle D'Annunzio, The Book of the Virgins
"The stupidity of man results from his biophysico-chemical dependency. His mind is dependent upon his brain, and his brain is subject to chemistry rather than logic. He believes every conceivable absurdity because of the compulsion of his chemistry. Think of an absurdity! You can be certain that some man, somewhere, at some time believed it to be an eternal truth. Some people believe that the human nose was designed to bear spectacles, that pigs were created so than man can eat pork, that stars were created to beautify the firmament, that communism is the solution to man’s economic problems that man was created to worship God, and that prayer has the power to suspend the laws of nature. Millions of people believed that the burning of heretics at the stake was a loving service to God. Mohammedans believed that killing infidel Christians was the will of Allah, and Christians believed that killing infidel Mohammedans was the will of their God of Love. Human stupidity is not a matter of choice. It is a matter of physics and chemistry." -Gerald B. Lorentz "Homo and 44/100% Nonsapiens"
"Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an e-mail." - Eliot Spitzer, New York state attorney general
"Is he [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then is he impotent.
Is he able but not willing? Then is he malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?"
-David Hume
"Our world was brutal, immoral, smug and conventional. We had unbounded contempt for all those who did not sin as we sinned." Jim Tully "Circus Parade"

my sister has my bible that I used when I was still a church-goer. It's a nice KJV with gold trim and archeological information and thematic indexes. I get that coppery blood taste in my mouth just thinking about all the crap I let myself consider...
I found that Jared Diamond's book made some sense, but was flawed in many aspects. Richard Lynn and Tatu Vahanen utterly trashes his thesis in their book "IQ and the Wealth of Nations". Diamond's theories do not account for the fact that the Ameri...
I have argued about a similar issue before. Omnipotence is not possible in reality, and free will isn't possible if there is an omnipotent being. All we need to do is finding just one example of task that isn't possible to perform for anyone in re...
Not at all. I was not referring to anything you or her said specifically. Some of those things were clearly wrong. A few of them were just stupid, or attempting to get a negative response.
The ones that were specifically derogatory should have bee...
Doing more research on the European colonization of American continent, I was exploring the role religion played. I found reference to an event know as the Valladolid debate. This was a debate between Catholic intellectuals about the acceptable tr...
