Is this the same group of screwballs that predicted the end of the world earlier this year?
The president is responsible for the whole country and can't possibly be an expert in all of the areas that entails. For example, he is also the primary diplomat, chief economist, commander of the military, and countless other aspect of leadership. Therefore, he consults with people that are considered experts in those diciplines and then delegates authority. The president is the big picture guy and doesn't need to get mired down in extranious detail. A person doesn't have to haved served in the military to appreciate the horrors of war or it's necessary applications. Any rational person knows that war is a last result or it should be. You don't need to own a gun to know that the bullet is going to kill you.
Health is a rating catagory and doesn't indicate good or bad in and of itself. You apply a rating under this catagory such as fit or unfit.
Ah, but there are atheist in foxholes. Just because a person prays at a time of abject fear doesn't negate a lifetime of secularism. People mutter all sorts of things at times of terror. Christopher Hitchens was writing an article on atheism on his deathbed, according to his friends. If that doesn't equate with being in a foxhole, what does? Of course, there are mysteries and things in the universe that are far greater than ourselves, but it's doubtful that a supreme being is one of them. If people choose to believe that of course is their right. However, belief is arbitary because it has no logic, reason or empirical data supporting it. Does that make them wrong, no, but they have no real evidence that they are right.
It's sad, but yes.
Art is the representation of man's emotions through physical means, whether it be painting, sculpture, music, dance or many other forms. The art represents the artist message, an interpretation of some situation or idea that he expresses through physical form.
A castle bailey is the courtyard in a castle that is encircled by a mote.
The thing is that most gun owners in America are law abiding people and never have the need to use them in desperate situations, but if you need to it's good to be able to protect yourself. It's the same with games; most people play violent games and exhibit no ill effects. If parents are worried about their effects on their children then by all means regulate their exposure to them, but others should have the right to decide for themselves.
These types of control laws are a slippery slope. They should be sensible, but not onerous. After all, it is constitutional to own weapons in American and while that doesn't preclude reasonable controls, it also doesn't mean that the government can ride roughshod all over the constitution.
I was worried about the subtitles as well, but I found the Swedish version to be much more entertaining than the American. I hate subtitles, but I got into it to such a degree that I actually forgot I was reading them. And the films get much more intense and suspenseful and you go through them. The last one is so much of a roller coaster ride that you're almost exhausted by the time it's over.
