actually where I live in the hudson valley, we pay more in taxes and get less back than either the city or northern NY. Trust me, Im all for NYC becoming its own state as are most of us up here
we have good cheep bulbs, I wonder how much the LED and halogen and CFL makers paid to get this pushed through. These bulbs all cost at least 3X as much as a traditional bulb and I know they claim they last longer, but in my experience with CFLs at least that is not true at all. As I always say when a new mandate comes out, look at who is getting rich off of it, its usually their fault
and also, NRA members dont go on killing sprees. If you look at the major mass murders over the past decade, they are almost exclusively liberal leaning with the exception of timothy mcveigh

ill remember that when someone is slamming your head into the ground, you dont deserve to defend yourself, just wait for the cops to show up like a good little sheep
at least you answer the question. My next question is when all the guns have been taken away, how hard do you think it would be for someone to build one? its pandoras box, we get rid of all the guns in the world at once like magic for example, within hours, there will be guns back on the street.
Even Australia's Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault -- Australia's equivalent term for rape -- increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
Moreover, Australia and the United States -- where no gun-ban exists -- both experienced similar decreases in murder rates:
Between 1995 and 2007, Australia saw a 31.9 percent decrease; without a gun ban, America's rate dropped 31.7 percent.
During the same time period, all other violent crime indices increased in Australia: assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault -- Australia's equivalent term for rape -- increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
At the same time, U.S. violent crime decreased 31.8 percent: rape dropped 19.2 percent; robbery decreased 33.2 percent; aggravated assault dropped 32.2 percent.
Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women.
Talk about hypocracy, you got flaming liberals that are all for killing unborn humans but are aghast that we would kill someone for something like , i dont know shooting up a school. This is why Im not a democrat or a republican, they are both hypocrites, and until one can take the blinders off and see it from both sides, you always will think "the other side" is the bad guy, because "your side" conditioned you that way
Lets look at it another way. I dont care how many "gun deaths " or "gun crimes" there are, Icare about ALL deaths and ALL crime. Get back to me when you have those numbers and see how much better off we are. After the gun ban in the UK for instance crime sky rocketed
and that does not answer the question that I asked. That is deflection, typical political talk. it is a very simple question As for me being illiterate, I dont think that word means what you think it does. Because if you cant understand what I am saying, well i dont know what to tell you
so are you going to answer the question or just keep swatting? who decides who is worthy of owning a gun?? you? obama? do you really want to live somewhere where only the ruling class has weapons??? If you are not going to answer and just throw out attacks on my typing, dont bother, save yourself the karma
ecuador, if you deliberately do not understand what the militia is in our country (every able bodied man is technically militia)
Columbine was a horrible disaster, but they would have used explosives if they didnt have guns, we were not stopping them by getting rid of guns, we would have stopped them with better mental health
As for Zimmerman, perhaps trayvon should not have attacked him, Now you are against a man defending himself as well?
What is the liberal fascination with differentiating "gun deaths" and "deaths" as if using a gun somehow makes it worse. Now lets dig deeper into those "gun deaths" how many are gang related? outlawing guns wont stop that as they are using them illegally anyway
how many are suicide? if someone wants to kill themselves, they are going to. So if we take away gang shootings and suicides, what is our new number?? THAT is the number that is actually relevant here.
Slashdot Mirror
true, they are talking about no one wants to compromise, well it looks as if the people have found common ground, against the NSA
you are forgetting that fox has been against the government since obama took over. this government has never worked with fox
my point exactly, nice to see someone remembers history
actually where I live in the hudson valley, we pay more in taxes and get less back than either the city or northern NY. Trust me, Im all for NYC becoming its own state as are most of us up here
maybe im misinformed, however i assure you it was not an attempt to troll
I still have traditional bulbs that have been lasting for over 4 years at this point, most get replaced every 3 or so
im not blaming the greens, the greens are the pawns, im blaming the bulb makers, who pushed for this so they could sell you bulbs that cost 3x as much
troll for posting facts?? really??? what happened to /.

hey, me as a libertarian also agree with all those things being morally wrong (well except for pot) and I also believe they should be legal.
at least you answer the question. My next question is when all the guns have been taken away, how hard do you think it would be for someone to build one? its pandoras box, we get rid of all the guns in the world at once like magic for example, within hours, there will be guns back on the street.

right, we should watch more liberal shows like ed shultz, or martin bashir, or american idol. Be good little sheep
ok so someones past means they should not be able to defend themselves? the lunacy of you people
Talk about hypocracy, you got flaming liberals that are all for killing unborn humans but are aghast that we would kill someone for something like , i dont know shooting up a school.

with no NY we would have a large shortage of veggies and fruits, if nyc were gone.... as a new yorker upstate id say good riddence

functional illiterate n. A person whose skills in reading and writing are insufficient for ordinary practical needs.
Actually that fits you pretty well, as you still cannot answer the simple question of " who decides who is worthy of owning a gun"
once again, still cannot answer simple questions.
and that does not answer the question that I asked. That is deflection, typical political talk. it is a very simple question As for me being illiterate, I dont think that word means what you think it does. Because if you cant understand what I am saying, well i dont know what to tell you
