The real crisis facing the USA are the ongoing nationwide obesity and AIDS epidemics. The average US man is now officially obese. And the avg. US woman is visibly overly obese. Obesity and AIDS are taxing our healthcare system. Not health insurance corporations as the official story says. Health insurance companies only turn a 4% gross profit margin. Not enough to make a big difference. Meanwhile, AIDS and obesity combine to account for well over half of all American health care expenses.
The real crisis is in medicated crazy people that have guns....................stay far away from small children..........
UNmedicated fruit loops.........
Stop freaking eating and wasting so much food, and stop sleeping around is the only hope. Got it?
Stop freaking breathing oxygen normal people need. ^^
But seriously Philip eats caca.
Meant butt head seriously not Cuchumber.
The world according to Philip is ..
Eat caca and run.
The more caca people eat, the more they think like Philip.
Philip is caca for brains
The number one problem facing America today is people like caca face, Philip.
Philip's brain:
1% brain cells
99% caca
Yes. Most states allow drug addicts to legally purchase guns and all of America's mass murderers for over the past 20 years have been men or boys addicted to mind altering prescription drugs.
In Colorado now, if you have a history of mental health issues and used mind altering Rx drugs to deal with them, you aren't allowed to legally purchase a gun ever again. And legislation is pending that would allow law enforcement to take guns away from all who use mind altering Rx drugs.
Got pills? No guns for you then.
If you have a history of mental health issues, period. Whether treated or not, people who cannot discern between reality and imagination should not be allowed to legally own firearms.
I agree with cutie banny.
Little wonder, then. That God never once appointed a woman as judge over Israel. And that there has never been one woman ever elected as US president. And that librarian's helpers are mostly girls.
@ banasy, you are limiting the disqualifying mental illness to psychosis.
I think that such a clarification would be a reasonable standard.
Some of the most famous performers in my industry has been hospitalized for depression. I would not deny them a gun.
The second most famous piano concerto in the literature, the second Rachmaninoff, is dedicated to the composer's hypnotist, who treated Rachmaninoff for depression.
Most USA citizens who know the second Rachmaninoff piano concerto, at all, think that it is a pop song, "Full Moon and Empty Arms."
Now, there's a reason for classical pianists to become depressed.
Israel and judges have nothing to do with this, Philip; please focus on what I have written, and not of what you think of me personally.
That being said, who is the "library's helper", Philip? Because you are not describing me, at all; as I have indicated before, you are not qualified to do my job. Just as I'm not qualified to do yours. Just as neither if us are qualified to do JIF's.
In any case, I would have thought you would have agreed with my assertion that anyone who cannot distinguish reality from a very fertile imagination shouldn't be allowed to obtain a weapon legally that they would use to shoot Harvey with.
@JIF, if they are being treated with SSRI's, Philip wants them denied. I do not agree with Philip.
I don't consider depression to be mentally ill, per se; for the most part it is a temporary condition, depending on the type of depression Dx.
However, your friends are precisely the people Philip wants to deny gun ownership to. Because he thinks anyone that takes an SSRI, under a doctor's supervision, taken as directed, is wrong; he considers them to be less than US citizens with all due rights afforded to them.
Ok. I guess that leaves Philip out. No guns for you.
Philip for republican vice president 2016!

On the Regulation of Gun Ownership
I am less concerned about guns owned by mentally ill persons than I am about the unrestricted ownership of guns by robbers and drug dealers who ignore all laws on principle.
Should all citizens be armed? I have been taking an informal poll to find out what people think.
So, I'm asking you, JIF.
Many residents of my city are not mentally ill: they are just so angry at members of other races that they cannot think rationally about the necessity of firing guns.
Cities with populations in the millions always experience exponentially more crime. Thankfully, violent crime has been on the decline for years now; the methods of how we find out about them has changed, so we get that information faster than ever.
This makes it seem like there's more crime, when it's actually the opposite. People with video capabilities on their phones make information sharing lightning quick.
There's good and bad aspects of this.
33K American street gangs will no longer rob u. Happy?
Yup. Excuses to build forced labor camps for lazy Americans, Donna. Good thought my dear. Well said am sure.
What are you talking about, PED?
Ya know the NSA is only looking for informed citizens besides lazy fat focks . Right?
What is your definition of "informed citizens"?
I could be a librarians helper. You could not be a drilling engineer.Donna. u r too stupid.
I am not a "library helper", whatever that is. I am also far from stupid; but if it comforts you to think so, have at it.
I do like the new name you have given yourself for roughneck. You aren't and never were a drilling engineer. You simply lack the education. Not that there is anything wrong with being a roughneck; there isn't. I simply do not care.
You are nothing if not inventive at self-aggrandizing.
No woman can drill a hole 5 miles into the ground. Nor has ever done. Only by men. My men. Men like me. Not bull dikes such as Donna Banas.
A hole five miles to do caca by Freedom Fighters from India.
No man can ever get pregnant and give birth to a baby, either.
So?
You're kind of talking nonsense here, Philip. Your "traditional" gender roles have changed. Keep up.
Please educate the world on what you think a "bull dike" is, and why you think I am one.
Start using Google, like I did, to see why your statement is false.
There is not one woman on earth who can engineer the drilling of a 5 mile hole in the ground to this very day. Because women are stupid compared to men is why.
Oh they teach women how to. But they are women. And so can't because of their bring weaker vessels as clearly described in your Bibles.
*their being
Vessels in the ocean to do caca in by Freedom Fighters from India.
Hmmmm
"There is not one woman on earth who can engineer the drilling of a 5 mile hole in the ground to this very day. Because women are stupid compared to men is why.
Oh they teach women how to. But they are women. And so can’t because of their bring weaker vessels as clearly described in your Bibles."
So you admit there are women drilling engineers?
Of course there are.
Your Bible has nothing to do with education, after all, it seems.
...and there are. Many Drilling Engineers and roughnecks are, indeed, women.
It appears you need to expand your own horizons a bit.
Your Bible describes you as a weaker vessel than men , Donna. And you can't stand it. You think women are equal to men. A lie according to Scripture. You stand in the face of God. Dumb chick.
The Bible also describes men having sex with their daughters, bears mauling children for making fun of a bald guy, and gives a listif commandments that you ignore; what of it?
I am far from a "dumb chick", and if you do not like dealing with women, refrain from doing so. You have "manly" pursuits you can follow, such as indiscriminate female bashing on the net.
Hmmm. Seems like the argument here is the role of men over women. Seems like a little scripture may lend a new perspective.
God created the woman as a "helper" for the man:
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." (NIV, Genesis 2:18)
However, being a "helper" does not imply that the woman was inferior or subservient to the man; the same Hebrew word, `ezer, translated as "helper," is used to describe God, Himself, in Psalms 33:20, 70:5, 115:9-11. In fact, God created both men and women in His own image and made them equal custodians of all His creation:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." (NRSV, Genesis 2:27-28)
So it seems the God, in his wisdom, put man AND woman on equal footing in the custodial sense. It must me true since God created BOTH in HIS image.
