The Taliban did not fold, the Taliban withdrew to the mountains and waged asymmetrical warfare. As for ISIS, well the only force being effective against them by any measure are the Kurds.

250 lb guy unarmed vs. a 125lb gal unarmed is fair?

tell it to ISIS, the taliban, the viet cong, need I say more? The Colonists vs. the British...

how do you reconcile 300000 deaths every yer by medical malpractice?

No the active clause in the 2nd Amendment is what is important, as all men of age were considered to be in the militia. “The right to bear arms shall not be infringed” is the active clause. I would urge you, if you are going to make such a statement, to read the Federalist papers and James Madison’s views.

false statistics

Why do you comment n something you hate so much? This is reporting, it’s editorializing, so you certainly have the opportunity to say to yourself, “Yeah, I didn’t like the movie, why bother reporting on this.” But, you can’t help it...you hate on JJ Abrams and Star Trek, you hate on the Hobbit.

The damaged, molested, self loathing female cop; the closeted, damaged, self loathing war criminal cop; the damaged, drug abusing, self loathing dirty cop. Come on, and we know Ray’s boss on the force is the one who shot…

actually it occurs less among religious organizations than in the general population...just gets more publicity.

Leto looks like a meth head gang banger.

Since Britain confiscated guns, murder by knives has risen 5 fold. Now they want to confiscate knives. Handguns are the great equalizer. A 5’3” 100lb. woman can defend herself from a 220lb. rapist.

I have been on over ten cruises, ranging from 7 days to 2 weeks. On Royal, Holland and Celebrity. All but Celebrity were wonderful experiences. The food was sub par on that cruise. Oh, and I took my pre school age kids...
