But he didn't get the help he needed, and even though he was so recently committed, he was still allowed to purchase a gun. And, if the clerk did as he says he did and went through with a background check, then why is it legal for someone like the VA Tech Murderer to get a weapon? Yeah, he...

I'm not at all looking forward to Dumbledore's bits ... I think Michael Gambon plays him terribly -- which is insane, as he's usual and amazing actor. I just don't find he brings the grace and calmness that Dumbledore should portray. The movies have been pretty hit and miss for me, actually. I...

Interesting - is that really the only way? Could stricter gun laws really do nothing? What about a mandatory sentence for even minor offences, one that is strictly reinforced? Surely removing all guns from the public isn't the only solution for lowing gun-crime rates.

No, people think that by making a gun less accessible, the crime won't be committed in the heat of the moment. Other weapons have lower mortality rates, too. The lack of a gun won't stop someone from committing a crime, but it will deter them for a length in which appropriate measures could be...

Apples and oranges, mate. Cars are a means of transportation, not a weapon. When was the last time someone walked into a college with a knife and proceeded to stab 32 people to death? Or with a crowbar? And certainly, nobody has done it with a car. Its an issue of practicality. Sure, there...

I don't think its so much gay people in general, more just the relationships. I find tonnes of my friends relationships cute, be it different gendered or same gendered.

I generally record Lost so I can fast forward through the commercials. While it doesn't really make any huge advancements, I still find myself enjoying it. I can't even watch CSI: NY any more without cringing throughout the entire thing, so I've just stopped. And I know I'm not the only one.

xfcanadian, I'm more like that. I tend to feel worse for people I don't know/aren't close with. I start thinking they deserve the bad things that happen to them, given what I know about them. The thing about myself that I don't really tell anyone is that I connect better with fictional...

TPTB rarely pick actors to fit their characters ages. *cough*Lindsay*cough*.

Oh man That did not go over too well.

Honestly? I wanted their marriage to succeed, but George is just being a terrible, terrible husband. Callie used to be such a strong character, but not anymore. I'm hoping this episodes revelation pertaining to George will help them, if it does fall through.

Though I agree with the rest of what you said, I just have to comment on this. Michael Moore is an idiot. I can appreciate that he's trying to talk out against the big corporations that ARE doing wrong, he's doing it in an entirely inappropriate and unethical way. If I could call him a...

It's entirely possible that the stricter gun control is a result of the high instances of armed assaults. Developed areas with higher crime rates tend to have more police, but that doesn't mean the police are causing the crime.

The thread on Virginia Tech was beginning to lead to a discussion on gun control, a subject people obviously have very strong opinions about. Do you think gun control laws are too lax, too rigid, or good how they are? If you're not happy with them, why not, and what would you do to fix them? If...

Yeah, we've got medicinal marijuana in Canada too. My friends dad has MS, and he's got a prescription. So does a guy I know with HIV.

That is a question that's been asked before, and it is legit. I hope you don't mind if I try explaining carbon dating. In short, everything is made up of atoms, which are made up of protons and neutrons and electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determins what type of properties it has...

While I think that euthanasia should be legal, it can be a really touchy subject. I believe the amounts of red tape up around it is good, but I would much prefer that rather focus on euthanasia, they look to prevent people from being in the position that they want to die. I understand why the...

Rich people have less reason to physically and personally murder multiple people. Theres only been about a dozen in the past two decades. I think the threat of it is enough. To be honest, I'm a fan of anything that deters crime. And xfcanadian, I'm assuming you're referring to the crime fall in...

This issue of The Economist is an especially good one to check out. Its got columns on pretty much everything, ranging from Corruption in China to Google Click to the Virginia Tech massacre. The first one that caught my eye, however, was the headline God vs Darwin: this time it's global. I...
