• ‘Jesus Said Love Your Enemies’: Woman Who Helped Arrange Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s Burial Speaks Out

  This business reminds of how the Amish community reacted to a shooting at one of their schoolhouses. In the aftermath, the community gathered at provided solace and comfort for the shooter’s family, letting go of their hate for him since he was by then “standing before a just God.” There is so much disparity among the Christian sects.

  I agree 100% with the conclusions in this article. I would have preferred that the foundations which support them were not built on shaky ground.

  Commonsensical: Yes, there are facts. In 1996 Rep. Jay Dickey passed legislation which prevents the CDC from doing research into gun violence. This legislation in still on the books, and the CDC is now in the position of asking the heads of all study projects whether or not their research touches upon ANY aspect of firearms and sends this information to the NRA (as a courtesy). Recently, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 has restricted the NIH from doing any research into the causes and effects of gun violence.

  I completely support the 2nd Amendment. I believe that all Americans have the right to own firearms. I am very skeptical of the NRA, however, and I feel that if you actively support legislation to hobble the research, you cannot credibly use that research to support your position.

  I am unable to trust any statistics relating to guns and gun crime. The NRA has successfully lobbied, many, many times since at least the early 90s, to block any reporting or research into guns. The data are completely worthless.

  Be careful of that Game of Thrones torrent, there was a bad file circulating that skipped some of the ending dialogue.

  There’s nothing unconstitutional about this. Google is a private company, the data they collect on you is their property and they may do with it as they please.

  Was she the one in charge of the loans that went into the pockets of Idi Amin that now the Ugandan people are on the hook for? So sorry her little get together was less than pleasant.
