then i guess i'm blatantly retarded

 

[cookiecutter]

Yep

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

NIU?



Conservatives want to get rid of the 1st amendment. Fuck you.

wut?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You're obviously a freedom-hating terrorist.

 

[waif]

fucking liberal nanny faggots. Almost as bad as Illinois.

Um...no? He's allowed to carry a gun around where it's not forbidden. But they have a no gun policy on campus. Guns in schools are generally a horrible fucking idea.

he had a license. plain and simple. state schools cant ignore state laws.
~gR~

Like the one that says "no guns in public buildings?" Yeah, I'd prefer that they don't ignore that one.

 

[seedofvengeance]

If legally carried guns were allowed, VT doesn't happen like it did. I sure as hell wouldn't attend a school that required it's students be defenseless, not to mention that if it is a state college it would be unconstitutional.

Seriously.
There probably wouldn't even be crime if we could all carry guns.
Fuck, if there was, we could just pop a cap, and voila, no criminal.

 

[Dak]

Seriously.
There probably wouldn't even be crime if we could all carry guns.
Fuck, if there was, we could just pop a cap, and voila, no criminal.

The sarcasm is really unnecessary. There would still be crime, but there would be less. Especially less mass shooting sprees.

Anyway:

Office of Naval Research warns of I,ROBOT scenario if proper programming isn't done.

Israel seizes land for settlement expansion
By KARIN LAUB – 3 days ago

EFRAT, West Bank (AP) — Plans to expand a West Bank settlement by up to 2,500 homes drew Palestinian condemnation Monday and presented an early test for President Barack Obama, whose Mideast envoy is well known for opposing such construction.

Israel opened the way for possible expansion of the Efrat settlement by taking control of a nearby West Bank hill of 423 acres. The rocky plot was recently designated state land and is part of a master plan that envisions the settlement growing from 9,000 to 30,000 residents, Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi said.

Israeli officials said any new construction would require several years more of planning and stages of approval.

The outgoing government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said it reserves the right to keep building in large West Bank settlement blocs that it wants to annex as part of a final peace deal with the Palestinians. Efrat is in one of those blocs.

The composition of Israel's next government is not clear yet, because last week's elections were inconclusive. However, right-wing parties are given a better chance to form a ruling coalition, with hard-line leader Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister.

Speaking to U.S. Jewish leaders Monday, the two contenders for leading the new Israeli government expressed their differences over the Palestinian issue.

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, whose centrist Kadima party won 28 of the 120 seats in parliament, said Israel must withdraw from "parts of the Land of Israel," a reference to the West Bank, in a peace deal.

Netanyahu, whose hawkish Likud won 27 seats, said he does not want to govern Palestinians but insisted on Israeli control of borders, airspace and electronic communications.

Netanyahu supports settlement expansion and has derided peace talks with the Palestinians as a waste of time, saying he would focus instead on trying to improve the Palestinian economy. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called Netanyahu's approach unacceptable, and his aides said recently that peace talks can resume only if settlement construction is halted.

"We oppose settlement activity in principle, and if the settlement activity doesn't stop, any meetings (with the Israelis) will be worthless," Abbas said Monday.

Settlement expansion is likely to create friction not only with the Palestinians, but with Obama, whose Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, has long pushed for a freeze on the expansion of Jewish settlements.

Still, settlements have grown steadily, including during the past year of U.S.-backed peace talks that ended without results.

Nearly 290,000 Israelis live in West Bank settlements today, or 95,000 more than in May 2001, when Mitchell led a U.S. fact-finding mission to the West Bank to find ways of ending several months of Israeli-Palestinian violence and resuming peace talks.

At the time, Mitchell called on Palestinian authorities to rein in militants involved in deadly bombings and shootings against Israelis, and he said Israel must freeze all settlement construction.

The newly designated state land, called "Eitam Hill" by settlers, is more than 2 kilometers (a mile) north of Efrat and just east of a cluster of Palestinian towns and villages, with biblical Bethlehem at the center.

Abdel Rahman al-Haj, a Palestinian plumber in Bethlehem, said that he owns 5.5 acres (2 hectares) between Efrat and Eitam Hill and that intruders with bulldozers had repeatedly tried to clear a dirt road across his land since last month, in an apparent attempt to create access to Eitam Hill. The dirt road was clearly visible during a visit Monday.

Al-Haj said he filed a complaint with the Israeli police and obtained a stop-work order from Israel's Civil Administration, the branch of the Israeli military that deals with West Bank land use. Civil Administration officials had no immediate comment on the case.

Revivi, the Efrat mayor, said he was unaware of bulldozers clearing al-Haj's land. "Everything is done in accordance with what the government is allowing us to do," he said.

However, Efrat municipal engineer Moshe Ben Elisha wrote in a recent edition of the settlement's newspaper, Efraton, that "efforts are currently under way to create continuity between Olive Hill (an area of Efrat) and Eitam Hill." He did not elaborate.

Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights group involved in the case, said Monday that over the years Israel's government has assigned almost all areas designated as state land to settlements. Yesh Din said that is a violation of international law, which requires an occupying power to act for the benefit of the local population.

"Declaring these huge amounts of land as 'state land,' as done by the Civil Administration, is only for expanding the settlement and not for the local Palestinian population," Yesh Din said.

So much for Israel being only a victim in the recent hostilities. I can't really blame Palestine for continuing their attacks after bullshit like this.

 

[cookiecutter]

They must release that that only antagonizes people. I generally support Israel but they are making it clear they are as uninterested in peace as the Palestineans.

Texas Lawmakers may allow wild hog hunting with helicopters.

Can I get a "Heeeelll's Yeah"

 

[The Ozzman]

I wonder how much they'll lead them

Obama Administration seeks to re-instate AWB

Apparently Obama and the AG have never heard of the black market.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Get over it. There's no practical use for them in our society other than mass murder, and we're not being overrun in our homes by assault rifle wielding criminals.

Sounds fun, shooting boar from helicopters...

They must release that that only antagonizes people. I generally support Israel but they are making it clear they are as uninterested in peace as the Palestineans.

When it's so blatant that Israel are the aggressor, why support them?

 

[seedofvengeance]

Yes, yes... and Palestine has done nothing wrong. I mean... blowing up pubic places and killing innocent civilians is just a-ok.
It's not so black and white where you can say that one side is evil and the other is good.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

When it's so blatant that Israel are the aggressor, why support them?

They're not "the aggressor" for fuck's sake. They receive potshots from Palestine all the time, and if we didn't support them they'd get slaughtered by the various rabid Islamist factions over there. Sure, we shouldn't be coddling them when they do fucked-up things like this, but they don't deserve to be cut off and subsequently blown off the map.

 

[skeptik]

One is state-sanctioned and one is actions of scattered extremists. Guess which.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Those Arabs just have no respect for pubic places...

 

[Dak]

Get over it.
A:There's no practical use for them in our society other than mass murder,

B: and we're not being overrun in our homes by assault rifle wielding criminals.

A. Doesn't matter whether or not there appears to be a practical use for them or not in yours or other's opinion. Superior self defense or expensive fun on the gun range is good enough reason to me.

B. Which is another perfectly good example why we don't need to ban them.

Bottom line is it's unconstitunional to ban them.
