Welcome to Gaia! ::

If there are no guns, how would the crime rate go up? Criminals using knives or bats? If someone has a knife, you can run away. That is unless you are a member of the obese majority of Americans. I knife can't shoot you in the back if you are running. How many people do you know who can throw a knife properly and accurately?

Katrina and New Orleans? God did not "send" the hurricane because of one sinful city. If that really is the case, why hasn't Las Vegas been leveled to the ground yet? It was a natural occurrence, because God would not let believers be killed too. But they did die. Christian and non christian alike perished with their children in the hurricane.

I believe that the real problem started 8 years ago, with the beginning of Bush's first term.
Does anyone here know why we are in Iraq?

The right is not being taken away, it is just trying to control things more so guns don't get into the wrong hands. I still believe guns should be banned, but I know that criminals would find a way to procure them. By making the requirements more strict for one to be able to own a gun, it would keep it out of the hands of those who buy them just to commit crimes. What I think makes sense is to not sell a gun to anyone who has a criminal record.

How do we connect Iraq and terrorism to 911? Or does no one remember that was what started this mess. There were NO Iraqis who helped to orchestrate the 911 tragedy. If we want to end terrorism, we need to go into AFGHANISTAN to destroy Osama bin Ladin and the Taliban.

Then again, the Bush administration only talks about Osama when its convenient for them.

dude have you heard of black markets or smugglers if u take away guns thats how criminals will get them now about not selling them to criminals THEY DONT when you purchase a gun you have to wait about 10 - 15 days before you can pick it up and im talking from personal experience do you know part of the reason you have to wait that long because they check your criminal background to see if giving you a weapon would be a good idea but if you havent purchased one i wouldn't expect you to know that and about the taliban they arenot the onlt terrorist group in the world i think bush did a good job as president and God wouldn't do that yeah he would the christians who died there look at it this way lots wife was told not to look back to those cities wat happened she looked back and turned into a pillar of salt those people were told to leave new orleans they chose to stay so i believe they are the reason of there own deaths

All I can say is that not everyone is a "Christian". There are people out there who are "wolves" in sheep's clothing. They talk, walk and act like a Christian but when it comes down to asking them about where they will spend all eternity and they come back saying it's not of your business and get angry, then I would say that that person is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Anyone who is truely born again would not get angry and would be very happy to tell them what Jesus did for them. Yes, God does love us and He is a God of love but you forget one thing, that He also is a God of wrath and He will pour out His righteous judgment on all those who HAVE NOT ACCEPTED HIS SON AS THEIR SAVIOR. The Bible says for us to be aware of those who are saying peace peace. When we see or hear that, then we as Christians know that our time here on this earth is short and Jesus' second coming to take away those not only the ones who have died and gone on before but all those who are still alive and have Jesus in their heart up to heaven to be with Him for all eternity.

As long as Satan still has freedom to roam this earth, there will never be peace, love and faith. That won't happen until Jesus comes back to reign on the earth for 1,000,000 years. Then at that time, there will be total peace, total love and total faith but not before.


As far as Osama is concerned. What do you think we have been doing throughout Bush's administration? We have been trying to locate him but he is one who has inadvertantly hid himself and cannot be located.

As far as for Bush, he is not an incompetent, self center, arrogant and militaristic dolt. He has been one the best presidents this country has had. Remember 9/11? Just because you don't hear about the refugees in sudan and the genocide there, doesn't mean that he hasn't done anything about it.

Here is a verse for you to think about. Eccl. 10:2, "A wise man's heart is at his right hand but a fools heart at his left."

As far as sin and Satan, what hand or side is always represented? It usually is always the left hand. As far as being right or godly, what hand or side is always represented? It usually is always the right hand.

if we want change i know one thing this country can do with out and thats our media they ner talk about anything good at all its always bad about the war you never hear from the news media about all the lives that were saved no all you hear about is how many of our troops got killed that day not that it isnt important it is but the news media never tells the entire truth they pick out wat they want and twist it around another thing this country can do with out is all the alcohol that stuff ruins families all over the world and drugs are just as bad

Have you thought about this? It is something to think about it. There are more deaths across America related to alcohol than guns. In a car accident where a driver was driving under the influence, 9x's out of 10 the drunk driver rarely gets hurt or killed, it's usually the innocent driver of the other car that gets hurt or killed. Now, tell me that that doesn't ruin a home? Drinking can cause a lot of people to do stupid & dumb things. Not only that, a person can go into a fit a rage and do damage as well such as beating their children or wife or anybody in general. Not only that it impairs the brain and causes a person not to think clearly.

Maybe, you should go live in a communist country and have all your rights taken away. In a communist country, you have to abide by what the government tells you. If you don't, you will get thrown into prison and possibly even tortured. Some people should do that. Then, they wouldn't complain about the rights we do have in this country.
