It has been a good couple of weeks - No School shootings (that have made the news) !!

Mice, Then Dolphins ...

I thought there was quite a bit of historical evidence of a person of Christ existing (in Roman documents written at the time etc) . It is just the evidence of the on son of God, etc that is a little hazy.

I watched this last night, I quite enjoyed it all the events seemed reasonably believable. Especially the bit about going after a suspect without the proper evidence. I can imagine the pressure to catch someone who assassinated any President to be immense. Whilst I think the film needed to...

Thanks.. why did Prohibition have to be an amendment to the constitution and not just a law passed banning alcohol?

So if the federal govement repealed the death penalty the individual states would autmatically not have the option of the death penalty..

I do understand this argument. However the ease of availability of weapons will increase the likelihood they the perpetrator will have a gun, no matter what the papers say gun crime in the UK is quite rare. If you are mugged in the UK it is very unlikely that the perpetrator will have a gun...

A question for the US citizens, if (in theory) the federal government in the US wanted to abolish the death penalty, throughout the states, could it do it, if so how? – would it have to amend the constitution?

We Tolerate Rich (mind you you do have GMLWORLDCHUMP)....

Thanks for the detailed info, it explains why Mark Chapman ws not given the death Sentence.

Does New York have the death penalty??

It is also the name of a news reader on Radio 1. I remember him joking when Ringo star was comming in for an interview that it was prob not a good idea for someone called "Mark Chapman" and a ex Beetle to be in the same room...

I have a friend who shoots in the UK, he gets the odd deer, (They need to cull a few now and again). He uses the meat, now and again I get a bit. He does not run around with it as a trophy. There is not even a stag head in his house!!!! I see no problem with what he does, although I know people...

Whilst I sometimes question the motivation of some individual hunters, If you eat meat you cannot complain about a deer being shot. especially when compared to you roast chicken, and the life it has had...

I have said on this board before that whilst I believe that “the right to bear arms” causes immense problems in the US, I do not believe the almost paranoid laws in the UK that make it illegal to even look at a gun, and the attitude that if you want to own a gun means that physiologically you...

I am not really sure the Armish use much modern stuff, as said previously there are some groups who do not have electricity. Yes they do use police resources etc but they are hardly a deain on society. The would cult is a little strong as they do not force their views on others and members are...

I presume they still have to pay tax. (although I do not imagine they have a massive income), as for hospitals I guess they do not have health insurance so that limits their choice. I understand they are basically self suffecient as a community and help each other. (unlike travellers do not...

Have you not seen the film "Witness" with Harrison Ford?? I do not see a problem if a group what to live a simple life, they do not force their views on others, they just try and limit the influence of modern life on them. What do you want to happen force them all to have large SUVs and TVs..

I have to be careful in case I am asked was MSP stands for. (In truth it was just three random letters) and I am not a Member of the Scottish Parliament.
