    This is all why people in the area are constantly told to not carry weapons.

    Yeah, I think it's more about disarming the populace, but then I'm old and treacherous.

    The facts of the situation is, it doesn't matter that children were involved. Anyone who brings it up are attempting to manipulate emotion. The fact of the matter is, YOU brought up the children.

    Let me see if I get you straight: "The facts of the situation is, it doesn't matter what the facts of the situation were."

    its extremely common to be shooting by the time you're six. Furthermore, children are commonly seen shooting at soldiers in that part of the world.

    Really? You say this a lot, but do not provide any verifiable links.

    The terrorists there are very propaganda savvy and use it for all its worth.

    The aggressors are very propaganda savvy, and they also use it for all it's worth.

    Nice. I refuse to wear a uniform. So I should be shot in your war zone for being too close to a journalist?

    Agree with most, except for the "root password to the Constitution" issue of child porn.

    For any other crime, including rape of an adult by an adult, possessing pictures (photographic evidence that a crime was committed) is not in itself a crime.

    Criminalizing possession of evidence of a crime simply leads to more people being framed.

    but that doesn't mean that they weren't right about money being the root of all evil.

    So, yeah, if you're going to shorten the quote you might as well just reduce it even further to "all evil", and understand that this is the state of the world.

    They handle money, and money is the root of all evil.

    Please, get the full quote right: it's "The love of money is the root of all evil." It's from the Christian's Bible.

    The meta-idea is, "religion is the root of all evil", but they don't like me pointing that out, I haven't been invited back to Sunday School in a long time.

    Nothing about suicide or spoiled babies; you're simply wrong: there are no limits to firearm ownership in the Constitution. None, zip, zero, nada; so, what makes you think the government has the right to impose them?

    Sorry, you fail at citizenship. Publishing is possible from anyone who has a "press", and a press is a computer these days. So, we are all "journalists", especially on this site. Journalists require no license from the government.

    Currently reading "The Brain that Changes Itself", about neuroplasticity. It's really neat that they are able to provide new types of inputs, and our brains rewire themselves to obtain information about the world through those new inputs. There's a bracelet (or anklet) which vibrates the part pointing to magnetic north, and wearing this, people start to have a much larger sense of direction. Also, those psychology experiments that showed rewiring -- wearing glasses that shifted the view 30 degrees to the left, and playing catch with a ball. Initially they threw the ball too far to the left; with practice, they were able to throw it to the other person. Then they took the glasses off, and they threw to the right for a while! Anyway, really cool subject, I highly recommend the book. Personally, I was born with one eye and have been saying for years that "The neurons that would have gone to serve the input from that eye, got re-purposed to make me more intelligent", and it seems I wasn't far off the mark (so far what I've read is that severed nerves have a "brain map" that gets taken over by adjacent nerves, so it's not directly intelligence per se, but I'm a family statistical anomaly as well :) ).
