To put this in perspective the number of firearms murders for this year in Los Angeles is 93, as of last Monday That's 93 in 11 weeks in Los Angeles alone!!!! LA has a population of about 8 million, the UK population is about 60 million. I'm not sure what it will take for you to appreciate just how out of control the gun problem is in America, and the horrific price you are paying for this allegedly God-given "right". Other industrialised nations look on in disbelief. | Why do you live in Los Angeles anyway? |

Conservatives (not so much in the political context of the word) are deathly afraid not of globalization as an expansion of markets, but rather globalization as a cultural and communication bridge between societies. It is a backward xenophobic mentality that would rather preserve their closed and sheltered lifestyles over the possible abdication of national conflict through peaceful resolution. The character of the anti-Christ characterizes this fear, as a eloquent leader that leads the nations of the world to peace.
| LOL, that is absurd. If we conservatives fear anything, its losing sovernty. Its being ruled or taxed by foreign world powers. Long Live the Republic. Christians dont fear the anti-christ, cause biblicaly we will be gone before we even know who he is. |

Berlin, 11 November 1938 Minister of the Interior Frick </B> | The gun control laws applied to the "inferior races" - Jews mostly. The Weimar law was far more restricting: In 1919, facing political and economic chaos and possible Communist revolution after Germany's defeat in the First World War, the Weimar Republic enacted the Regulation of the Council of the People's Delegates on Weapons Possession. The new law banned the civilian possession of all firearms and ammunition, and demanded their surrender "immediately." On November 9, 1938, the Nazis launched the Kristallnacht, pogrom, and unarmed Jews all over Germany were attacked by government-sponsored mobs. In conjunction with Kristallnacht, the government used the administrative authority of the 1938 Weapons Law to require immediate Jewish surrender of all firearms and edged weapons, and to mandate a sentence of death or 20 years in a concentration camp for any violation |

Grace will be sucked up to heaven during the rapture long before everything goes to total shit on the earth. You too can be saved; however, it will require your thinking brain to be sucked clean out of your skull (like Grace's) and transplanted with a sheep's brain that can find its way into that Baptist church. HA! |

| They wont be for long. I dont see why you think I have any fear of the EU? |
