PRO GUNS! Guns don't kill people. To say guns kill people is like blaming the spoon for making Rosie O'Donnell fat. Even if you take away the right to own a gun, the people who are misusing them will STILL own them. PRO GUN. PRO FREEDOM!!!
What kind of a God, if he created us, and enabled us to make bad decisions and is all loving, would send anyone to hell? Wouldn't God be the most forgiving?
Well put. There is always something or someone to blame. Empathy isn't a thing of the past, how many times do people help and not just stand there...you don't know because it doesn't make the news. I, for one, am not desensitized. Nor are many people I know. I read your other post about the shootings and it seemed like anyone who didn't respond they way you wanted got verbally abused. Hmmm....
I have read a LOT of posts from ALI and to think he doesn't know about the Quran is crazy. He is very well informed and very polite in his posts. My money is on ALI.
2.257. Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).
4.14. But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein: And they shall have a humiliating punishment.
4.34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
5.14. From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.
9.39. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things.
9.64. Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire,-
I don't think the focus should be on what things people spend their money on that is frivolous, but rather how much they give as well. The person that spends a small fortune on a handbag or dog accessories may have donated a large fortune to charity or the poor. Al Gore in 1997, under the auspice of saving the world and a personal net worth of over $100,000,000 US, donated $353 to charity. Now that in atrocious.
Competition is wonderful. No downside. When you win, you feel great. When you lose, there is always something to be learned and a way to improve yourself. Who wouldn't like that?
You would have lost that bet. I have publicly stood up and voiced my opinion SEVERAL times and it seems a lot of people who responded to this thread have too...stay away from Las Vegas when betting like that...
I don't think he should play again either, BUT, that wasn't part of his sentence. He served his time and there was no ban from football. When he was being sentenced is when people should have been complaining. Not now.

RE: Pro-Gun/Anti-Gun?
That's funny, my guns have never killed ANYONE!!!! So I guess you're wrong. They only work when I pull the trigger...
