Since the shootings at Virginia Tech the Gun Nuts are once again coming out of the woodwork. To them the mass killings are the perfect opportunity to climb on to their 2nd Amendement soapboxes. According to their reasoning, the...

SDToombs Where to begin. Talk about a "scripted" response. First, you did not disprove the "fact" that the NRA has many ties to white supremist groups and anti government nutcases who blew up a federal building. Second, you fail to address what a moronic idea it is to...

Whenever a serious issue comes up in the news or in politics have you ever noticed they rarely, if ever, give you much information about it? We get snippets of information, just enough to generate a reaction, but not enough to...

SDToombs Stupid and ignorant are not the same. Ignorance means a person doesn't know something. It doesn't mean that can't know it, for whatever reason, usually by choice, they just don't. My point is that according to the survey most Americans choose to not know when...

SDToombs I admire your effort, but my experience tells me you are rare. A survey done several years ago looking at the polarization of American society showed that only 15% of Americans want to know both or all sides of an issue. The rest only wanted to hear what they...

SDToombs Many of my friends are from other countries and that's part of the reason I asked this question. The other reason is I used to work for a newspaper and my editor and I had this conversation almost daily. We tried to present news in a different way offering...

SDToombs I agree they can be over the top, but that's sensationalism not information. They are simply trying to boost ratings without really telling you anything.

we are mainly better off with the ability to be in contact just about any where in the world using our "connection" via the internet? While so many find fault immediately with the net, I tend to see it for all the good it's...

SDToombs I have to disagree. Speaking to someone from Russia is not the same as going to Russia. Yes, you may be able to engage in discussion with people across the globe, but it's not the same as actually meeting them. So I guess it's a double-edged sword. Some people...

SDToombs As most Americans remember before 9/11 the most heinous terrorist attack in our history was committed by a white, Christian male, the Oklahoma City bombings. Nut cases come in all shapes, sizes, religions etc. One could easily make the argument however,...

SDToombs Meir Kryger M.D. the author of "A Woman's Guide to Sleep Disorders" recommends bathing or showering at night as a way to relax before going to bed. So, I'd say your mom is incorrect. I have heard that taking baths can cause women problems, such as...

In theory I oppose the death penalty because it makes no sense to say killing is wrong and then to punish people by killing them. And I won't even mention the disproportionate application of the death penalty. But then tonight as...

SDToombs Actually that would be "tongue in cheek" not "tongue in check". I can never keep my "tongue in check". Or keyboard for that matter.

SDToombs I was beginning to wonder if people were concrete thinking in regards to my post. It's good to see some people understand it was tongue in check. On the other hand the death penalty is yet another divisive issue, among many, in this country, and it's...

SDToombs There is no doubt that Cho was mentally ill. But just because a person is mentally ill does not mean they are "legally insane". A paranoid schizophrenic can still be in control of their faculties. But if you look at his writings beyond the obvious violence and...
