  • It’s a shame all the good citizens of London don’t carry firearms or perhaps one or more of them could have saved the police all the trouble in the first place (and saved an innocent life, too!).

  • “If I could speak English I wouldn’t have the problems that exist.” TRUE!

  • Eduard A. Kovynev and Eduard P. Kovynev. Really! And they were released? “Don’t see nothin’ wrong here. . .”
    Must have been 14 guys between them in line when they got their Visas.
    Should check the ceiling over the men’s bathroom.

  • It’s obviously a racist plot by the gold people. That seems rational.

  • I’m sure those stairs are not ADA compliant. They should at least have handrails on both sides.

  • One fact that always brings me back to believing the shroud to be an intentional fake is the coins on the eyes. If a supernatural burst of energy had caused the image to be “exposed” onto the shroud, then the coins should either appear as solid round images (like on an x-ray), or if the energy was able to pass through the coins, then we’d see a pattern based upon the relative thickness of the coins – sort of a composite of both the obverse and reverse sides of the coins. Instead, we see an image of the “top” side of each coin – indicating to me that the image was formed by some sort of rubbing.

    Both scripture and historical records indicate that the burial clothes were strips which were wrapped around the deceased, with a separate cloth placed over the deceased head.

    Anyone wanting to create a seemingly accurate (but still false) shroud would be sure to include all the details, wounds, etc. associated with the Scriptural accounts. I see little reason to say that the presence of these details should cause us to favor its authenticity.

    Finally, God went to great pains (if you’ll allow me – obviously God, being omnipotent, required no effort) to conceal the body of Moses in order to keep his body from becoming some sort of relic. It seems unlikely that He would allow to be preserved any such item that could be used to become an idolatrous image of His Son.

    He is risen!

  • I didn’t watch the video because I love horses, but this horse is a piece of property that the man (presuming he’s the owner) can do with as he pleases. Private ownership of property is among the “unalienable rights” our constitution is intended to protect. It disturbs me that some insist we enact laws to treat animals “humanely”, while simultaneously claiming a “right” to murder unborn children.

  • I know it’s just stock art, but why confuse the issue by showing a handgun surrounded by spent rifle casings? I don’t think there’s any Glock in existence that’ll fire 270 Winchester rounds (or whatever they are). We need to do everything we can to educate people who think a .22 semi-automatic rifle is an assault weapon, not encourage their stupidity.

  • Can the Boy Scouts Ban Openly Gay Members?

    To one of the survey questions which asked “what is your greatest fear if the BSA changes it’s stance?, I responded:

    That the institution of the Boy Scouts of America will fail. That the significance of my Eagle Scout rank, and that of two of my three sons will become valueless. That our troop will disband and my third son will never attain Eagle (because we will no longer be participating in scouting).

    Scouting is a tool for families (especially fathers) to use to help develop their sons into men. It is, generally speaking, an opportunity for them to interact with exemplary role models. Sodomy (doesn’t sound as innocuous as “homosexuality”, but let’s call a spade a spade) is not a manly virtue, nor do sodomites provide an appropriate role model for virtuous, reverent behavior .

    You cannot allow individual units, districts or councils to “do their own thing” on this matter. The idea is so stupid that it pains me greatly that you are considering it. Beyond the fact that Camporees, Summer Camps, High Adventure, Jamborees, etc. all require for their success the involvement of multiple troops from various areas, the main point is this:
    The Scout Law and The Scout Oath both rule out immoral, deviant behavior, regardless of the fact that there exist in our society many outspoken fools who would rather behave like animals than men.

    MAN UP!
    YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO MAKE 100% OF THE PEOPLE HAPPY.
    YOU DON’T NEED A SURVEY TO MAKE A DECISION ON PRINCI

  • I wish I COULD buy an AR-15. Don’t seem to be any available. . .
