Forums > Living in Kunming > Coloradans and guns The right to VOTE combined with freedom of speech should ensure people are kept safe from their governments and generally does. Really? If Americans believe they have the right to vote then they have been fooled. I am NOT fooled and I recognize I do not have a right to vote for who I want. Why is Ron paul not allowed to debate? When he is allowed to debate, why does he get 5 minutes while others get 20 minutes? Why is he mocked when he says he wants to close all foreign bases, end the Federal reserve, and get rid of the CIA and IRS? Why was Cynthia McKinney booted out of office? We are given the illusion of choice in voting for Bush or Kerry (Yale) or Obama or Clinton or Romney. Why is every person who runs for office either an Rhodes Scholar, Skull & Bones, Freemason, or CFR member. If you think this is right to vote - then go for it and continue to live the LIE.
To use Saddam in Iraq as an example does not help your arguement as he was working for the CIA since late 1960s. He was funded and armed by the USA to use him to fight our war against Iran.
Funny how smallpox has been eradicated and there has not been a single case of smallpox since the 1970s. Yet the only place were this virus can be found is in Ft DetricK Maryland. What does this have to do with our topic. Well, I was one of the guinea pigs who got over 20 vaccines before the invasion of Iraq. We got Anthrax (Cow disease), and bunch of other shots because we knew Sadam had these in his arsenal. We knew because we gave it to him during the war with Iran.
Freedom of speech - Lets see - If MSM does not show this on the news then it must NOT be true. Mass arrests, people beaten, 8 cops attacking one person, breaking their arms behind their backs, shooting people who are handcuffed. All this has occured when people were expressing themselves and even had a permit to assemble. If you call this freedom of speech - then go for it. Just because one person is not aware of something happening does not mean it did not happen.
I am US Marine Corps veteran of 20 years. I do not know know others past but I do know my own. Yes, the US has the ability to bomb any country back to the stone age as was evident in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia, and so on. But in the end, soldiers must go on the ground and clear the streets. This is why a few men with guns in Afghanistan have been able to stop the mighty USA. Just like was done in Vietnam and Korea. A few men with guns were able to stop the evil invaders.
I am glad to see that you watched the film I provided. Also keep in mind my last few words which I mentioned earlier. Wait and see. because although this has NOT happened in the USA yet, it will very soon. Time will tell.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Coloradans and guns The right to bear arms is NOT outdated and needs no revision. The right to bear arms was written for one purpose - to keep people safe from their own governments. Watch the video I provided above and learn.
As for nuclear weapons, there is only one country I fear which already has nuclear weapons - the USA. The only country that has used them against innocent civilians as well as its own population. The rules of war clearly state that one country can not attack non-military targets. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were NOT military targets.
Why doesnt the US intervene in North Korea although it wants regime change there - because they have nuclear weapons. Why does the US attack small countries - because they have no nuclear weapons.
Many continue to use the word CRAZY to describe James Eagan Holmes. He is NOT crazy, he is mind controlled. What do most people do after they commit murder? They run or they kill themsleves. But mind control victims just sit by and wait to be arrested. Holmes just finished shooting more then 70 people and he should be wanting more deaths - so what does he do? He warns the police that his home is booby trapped. Yeah right!
I never heard a police chief make a statement just a few minutes after a murder. But here comes Chief Oates stating that Holmes is a lone gunman without even beginning an investigation. He could care less about witnesses who stated that there is another suspect or the other gas mask and rifle found outside the door of the theater while Holmes was still sitting and wearing his gas mask. NO mention of why the alarm did not go off when the emergency exit was opened 3 times.
There really is no need for debate - just wait and see - During Katrina, the military was used to go house to house to confiscate weapons from registered owners. At this moment there are numerous drills going on in many cities in the USA where police and military are practicing confiscation of weapons. Just wait and see for yourself. Perhaps you will wake up when they come knocking on your door.

Forums > Living in Kunming > expat population in Kunming I believe in GOD but my God has no religion, therefore, I have no religion. Buddhists believe that the cause of all suffering is ignorance. Ignorance causes both sides of the Christian (Pro + Con) debate. It is lack of knowledge that causes these arguements. I will play the devils advocate for both sides now. For the Christians - I still have not met one Christian who can explain the meaning of the Council of Niceae or why Phillip who was Jesus' disciple can not write a gospel but Saul/Paul who never even met Jesus wrote half the New Testament. Or why Genesis 2:26 reads (Then God said, Let US make humankind in our image). Or who can explain the origin of the Nephellin. Or why Rick Warren, who is the leader of 1 of the 100 largest Christian churches recently joined the CFR. For the Anti-Christians - My dad told me long ago - If you argue with an ignorant person then you are more ignorant then they are. I would like to understand the beliefs and reasoning of why Christians come to China to Evangelize, so I welcome a civil, respectful, and intelligent dialogue with any Christian outside of this forum. I hope some Christians are willing to meet offline, face to face, and respectfully discuss (not argue) this sensitive topic. By the way, I recently met 3 members of this forum in a face to face meeting at salvadors. I did not post a new forum asking for a Meetup. I simply contacted them by PM and requested a meeting and we met and discused and learned.
Laos extradites drug suspects to Yunnan
发布者As long as it is not harmful to the person or his surroundings. This is the most important fact - I beleive people have the right to hurt themselves as much as they want - go at it - knock yourself out and take all the drugs you want. However, All, not some, take others with them. It is never a victimless crime. When a father spends his time and money drinking rather than spending time with his family, he is causing undue pain on others not only himself. Especially in times of economic hardship. When anyone spends money on any drug rather then using that money to benefit spouse or children than there certainly is an adverse effect on others. I believe all people have the right to do whatever they want, AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT HARM OTHERS. Unless, a drug user is an only child, with deceased parents and no living relatives, then that person can take all the drugs they want. But anyone with a family (spouse + kids) is definitely hurting his immediate family. I dont see myself as a good father when I am buying drugs for myself yet neglect my son and deny buying him food, medicine, books, etc.
Yes, those who substitute illegal addictions with legal addictions are no longer drug addicts but can you honestly say that they have been rehabilitated and free of addicition? The answer is clearly NO!
When you see a loud mouth drunk yelling and fighting we call him an alcoholic but when you see an obese person you dont call him a food addict. The fact is that person does have an addiction. For those who disagree, then you are not educated on the real meaning of an addiction.

发布者I suggest that if we can't come up with something a bit more original then we all drop it -
You can drop it any time. No one is forcing you to reply. Do not put words in my mouth because I never said addicts are Aholes. Those are your words. I just stated that rehabilitation is NOT as easy as many people here make it sound as it is a much more complicated issue. I offered many examples of what rehabilitation is NOT.

发布者So what puts a nail on my coffin? What evidence is so overwhelming for you to come to this conclusion? The fact that 2 other people put their opinions which happen to agree with yours?
So let me tell you about rehabilitation. First understand what it means to be an addict and what it means to be in remission and what it means to be in recovery. So a cocaine addict stops using drugs but his smoking and pot use increases. He claims he is rehabilitated from cocaine. Next you must understand what it means to have multiple addictions and other undiagnosed addictions. Like a cocaine addict with a sex or food addiction or is also an alcoholic. He claims he is rehabilitated because he stopped using cocaine. Sorry!
Then we have the term Dry Drunk, this is a person who stopped drinking - we call it white knuckling it. He no longer drinks but he is still or even meaner then he was before when he was drinking.
Next we have the addicts who substitute an illegal addiction for a legal addiction. The cocaine addict no longer uses cocaine but he is now a 12 step addict. Everywhere he goes he must get his 12 step fix or he falls off the wagon in an instant. Or the one who becomes a bibble thumping Jesus Freak. He longer uses drugs but you can not get him to shut up about Jesus and how he saved his life and only Jesus is the answer. Same for those who become runners and now get a natural high. They still ignore their wife and kids and he must run a 10K every day, like a mailman, neither rain, nor sleet nor hail will stop him from running his daily 10K.
Just so you know, there are 12 step programs for any addiction. AA, NA, SLA and the list goes on.
So before you make a claim about rehabilitation you better take a look at the case file before you make such a sweeping comment.

发布者I just believe, that no one has the right to decide who should live and who should be put to death. Especially supporting it by saying everyone should serve a purpose.
The right, the ability, the people who control us and do whatever they want with the people of the world, they kill whoever they want and they never ask you or I for permission. This happens every day all over the world, regardless of what country you come from or what people they kill.
Perhaps you are as frustrated and feel helpless as I do about this issue. Perhaps you are empowered in some way by directing your comments to me.
People are dieing all around the world in real life yet you voice this problem to me as though I am the one doing this. Just to let you know, I am a nobody. I am not the president of any country or the UN. I have no guns or weapons of mass destruction in my back pocket, and I have no means or desire to kill anyone.
I do not have veto power to decide who should live or who should die. I am not on a panel to make decisions about who lives or who dies. This is a public forum. Perhaps you should write a letter to the US president, or UN president, or the leaders of the EU in Brussels. As a matter of fact, the headquaters of NATO is also in Brussels. Govts, NATO, the coalition of the willing, the CIA and MI5 and 6 are resposnsible for most of the murders that take place all over the world. These people have given themselves the right to decide who lives and who dies. They decide who is useful and serves a purpose and who does now, NOT me!
I am happy that you are passionate about this issue but I hope you can realize now how ridiculous you seem when you direct this comment to me. This is a public forum. People say many things here. Some people will even debate for hours about how McDonalds is better then Burger King.
Just to let you know, I have never tried, experimented or used any illegal drug in my life. I dont smoke cigaretts or cigars and I think Canabis is a very special medicine that can save lives. Unfortunately, the potheads have a bigger mouth and msirepresent the people who see cannabis as a medicine rather than a way to get high.
I want you to realize that when any person makes any comment about any issue on a public forum, the ones who reply have a vested interest in why they reply. So perhaps you are offended or hurt because you are or were a drug user and you feel persecuted by comment or think I am roaming the streets waiting to catch you so I can execute you. Or perhaps you are offended or hurt by people who are killed by others. I am neither of these so come back to reality.
A friendly suggestion. The most ridiculous person is NOT the one who makes stupid comments on a public forum, but the other person who takes it seriously and responds as though it was real, truth or reality. Sometimes - it is better to be thought a fool rather than open your mouth and prove it.

发布者I love how stupid people make a big deal over an idiotic comment on a ridiculous forum. Yet with all that talk Kate, you say nothing about what is happening in real life all over the world. No idea where you are from but all the crap you talk about coming from a country without the death penalty. Well where the hell is that place you come from. The garbage that comes from your mouth makes me sick. Wake up and smell the coffee. See the condition of the world and go join an NGO so you can bark at someone else.
