In my country, Germany; we do. We have a tithing tax which is used to upkeep churches and build new churches/places of worship. Germany has VERY strict zoning/permits. So it's not like the bible belt in the states, I currently live in Texas due to work; where you have a church almost every city block.

All new…

Really, I've never experienced this and I've worked in Saudia Arabia.

Each and every reply you've made has had a anti-muslim or pro white tone to it. If you're wanting to make a point, just come out and say it.

Loras' is pretty funny. Yes, it's playing on the gay trope, but it's funny regardless.

Quite a bit of what you've said is speculation based on point of view. I agree with most all of what you stated except for certain points, which I'll list.

- Assault rifles, regardless of their infamy specifically in high profile occurrences simply aren't needed. Hunting rifles are listed as such because that's what…

You'll notice the article is, "Rude Paris launches campaign." As I said, Parisians are the rude ones, much like people from Manhattan. It's simply what happens when cities attract so many tourists. It's not "France" that launched the campaign, but the tourist chiefs of Paris.

And it's not "however only france..." If…

Anecdotaly because this is my job field (medicine), there was an interesting test done by several large surgical instruction universities in the states. They took high school and college age students who classified themselves as playing video games 8-20 hrs a week and had them perform "surgery" via remote operating…

"If you're going to hold a state or a nation's people responsible...perhaps you shouldn't be doing so from Germany."

"Having lived in the states for the last few years, Texas specifically."

Ok, now that we've established you're not comprehending what I'm typing, I'll clarify it a bit more for you.

No where did I "Hold a…

It'll never be fair to compare any other country to the US for one simple reason, size.

I can quote how low gun violence is in my home country of Germany, and it's not like we're known as a anti-violence country in our recent history. But Germany is also the size of Texas. It's far more easily managed than 30+…

As a German I'll be the first to say the French are fantastic people who are very nice. I've spent quite a bit of time in France myself. As usual you're likely referring to Parisians, which is completely different. It's like saying, "People from New York are rude." New York as a state has perfectly pleasant people,…

I should clarify that I was replying only to the statement of, "Seems to me that happy people bred happy people."

I agree with the rest of your statement and subsequent reply, and I am in fact a practicing radiologist (not the two year school guy, the masters guy). All of what you say is completely true in regards to…

Burt Renolds? Is that you? He probably got so much ass in the 80's pretending to be Burt.

Lobbyists are attempting to have a Federal "Sin" tax placed on violent games. Not movies, music, books, etc. Just video games.

Don't be mistaken, we're predators. We evolved to be an apex killer in multiple different ways. Violence in an of itself may not be "rooted" in us, but aggression and the urge to dominate is. Environmentally it can be honed into a socially acceptable outlet such as sports, gaming, etc. But we have forward facing eyes…

As a German I held my first gun around age 6. I doubt the weapon was permitted under law at the time but it was the 80's and no one cared. Due to Germany's green space/hunting conservation acts, gun ownership for hunting isn't all that rare. It wasn't until about a decade ago that the Bundeswaffengesetz (our current…

I told those pedestrians on the side walk the last time I ran someone over not to fucking walk there. It's not my fault they don't listen and I have to careen through a few dozen of them.

"Look, I don't agree with Stossel about 99 percent of the time, but that's completely irrelevant right now. The man has done his homework on this one, and a shocking display of basic competency like this is something you simply don't see a lot of on television."

I don't see anyone "jumping on board" here, they're…

I'm not sure I agree with that. The less people have to struggle for, the more free time and complacency they are allowed.

Just look at the vitriol and hate that spews forth from people on this site. They are comfortable enough to have a computer of some sort and an internet connection, and they still feel the need to…

Weren't you dismissing my posts from now on? You're just being a tease by replying now. Surely, you just can't quit me, I get it. When you care this much it's just hard to let go, I understand.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you...

Cool, I appreciate you being up front about that kind of stuff it really shows you care <3

Then why reply? It's always funny to see people go out of their way to reply with, "I don't care." Because they sure cared enough to tell you just how much they don't care.

That doesn't particularly seem "honest."
