It does not matter a whit what you believe "regulated" means. What counts is what the word meant in the 18th century and, more so, what the Supreme Court says it means today. |

His wife should be arrested for "having sex with an idiot". Is that against the law in fascist America? Or is that just another of your fantasy world factoids? As a matter of fact, having sex with a mentally disabled person - one not capable of giving effective consent - IS rape. |

Pay attention. The Constitution and the Bible share a common characteristic: It matters little what each says, what counts is what is meant. Taking the Bible for example, sometimes God didn't say what he meant and sometimes He didn't mean what He said. Likewise for the Constitution. But how to decide what is meant? In the case of the Bible, Moses was told: "If a matter comes before you that is too hard to decide, consult the sages of the generation and be bound by their decision. In the case of the Constitution, the federal courts make the determination. Not you. Not me. The courts. |

Quote:
That's cuz that Court is made up of people appointed to their positions by the President, and so the President appoints judges that share his/her/ it's views on major issues like abortion, capital punishment, enforcement of illegal drug laws, etc. So, quite honestly, it DOES NOT require a change in your constitution to change gun laws. It just requires a change in the people sitting in the highest court in the land to "interpret" the 2nd Amendment differently than it's being interpreted right now. And, as the mood of the public toward guns changes, the kind of Presidents you guys elect will change, and so to will the members of your Supreme Court. Just saying. |

Look at your previous comment, you little hypocrite You open the door.. I shove it up your ass. # Here is a definition of regulate as your English is so poor. # http://dictionary.reference.com/brow...late?qsrc=2446 # Poor harry can't even read past definition 1) 1. to control or direct by a rule, principle, method, etc.: to regulate household expenses. 2. to adjust to some standard or requirement, as amount, degree, etc.: to regulate the temperature. 3. to adjust so as to ensure accuracy of operation: to regulate a watch. 4. to put in good order: to regulate the digestion. So explain to us how "well regulated" would be used in 2), 3), and 4).. take as many screens as you need Don't forget to reference the SCOTUS definition Heller to make sure you are on the right track.. |

The problem with harry, is that he's not even bright enough to consult a dictionary and not get confused. |

Snow along US/Mexico border?
nestork wrote:
Thanks, guys. Up here, when I watch football and baseball games that are being broadcast from a southern US city, the one thing that never ceases to catch my attention is how the people in the stands are just wearing light windbreakers and autumn jackets in January and February, and how much shorter the shadows are (meaning the Sun is higher in the sky there). I would have never expected there to be snow on the US/Mexico border, but I fully expect that the mountain areas would have plenty of snow, even in Mexico (cuz the warm moist air gains altitude as it gets pushed over the mountains). I learn something every day. But, not everything I learn is worth knowing. For example, elpaso is at least 3500 feet high. When I was down that way, got some snow every year. The peaks around elpaso are easily 4000 feet. 3/4 mile high city. Greg |
