That’s a fair point, so I looked it up. In TX, to get a conceal carry permit, you need to be 21, have taken an 8-hour safety class, and not be a felon. Unless you’re in the military/reserves, in which case you can be any age and can skip the class. That’s still pretty broad, though. A lot of college juniors and…

Couldn’t it be said that young people are the ones least likely to have a background to check? Their background is all ahead of them.

I don’t think that necessarily prevents much. Even if we assume that all the concealed carriers are stable, conscientious, good people, that doesn’t mean that their gun couldn’t be stolen or discharged by someone else in class. More guns also means more accidents, which is the #1 problem with guns. Even the most…

And since defamation is civil law, it’s a lower standard. Cosby will be a rapist as far as the law is considered, he just won’t get jail time for it.

He doesn’t have to wonder too hard, though. When Gabrielle Giffords was shot, there was a (good) guy with his gun on scene in the open-carry state on AZ, and he just stood there with his dick in his hands.

I can’t really argue with the idea of enforcing existing laws, or reasonable steps to keep dangerous crazy people from getting arms. I don’t think the solution to gun violence is to deliver a truckload of guns to every school. I do think that sometimes, a well trained, armed person could save lives.

It was a big High School. There were a lot of survivors.

The coroner said there was no evidence that the baby lived outside of the womb. Had she, it would have been murder, I think. However, since it seems the baby died before delivery she was technically still a fetus which is why Lane was charged as she was.

you & me both, montgirl

Migraines don’t actually need those other symptoms to be migraines. Severe and one-sided are the basic criteria.

You had ONE job, montgirl. One!

I figure I’m here to pay taxes.

I’ve been getting migraines since I was a child. I get sinus headaches as well, but there’s a huge difference.

My migraines are like a hot poker through one of my eyes, accompanied by nausea, light and sound sensitivity, halos, vision blurriness, and basically just so much pain I can’t function and just sob into my…

You do realize that women can be child-free yet not be chaste virgins, right?

Exactly. I translate for a lot of these people, child abuse hotlines, medical insurance companies etc. I’m just a useless spinster who doesn’t have a couple profile pic on Facebook.

Yeah, and if we evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys?

Let me know when you find out! If we need to hide in a secret bunker or something, it'll be less boring if we're all together.

Selfishness tsk tsk

Oh honey, well you’re not really living until you’re a mother! (Kidding, kidding).

Oh me to and I’ve a nice case Early Onset Menopause. I’m amazed I’m able to type these very words.
