If I had $50 Billion I would give away $49 billion and keep the last $1 Billion
Only as a last resort.

Have you ever hit a deer with your car? It does considerable damage, and somtimes kills the person/people in the car. I am not for guns to protect me from other people with guns, I am for guns to protect me and my insurance against the big brown thirty pointer.
That's why I said that guns are made to kill. They are weapons by default. Cars are means of transportation.
Why? It's his money, he can do what he wants with it. All within leagal boundries of course.
I'm not saying what he should do, I'm saying what I would've done.
Somtimes kids need to be punished, or they turn out to be either weak, or snot-nosed little brats. I have a cousin who was never spanked as a kid, he cries when you yell at him, his mother gives him everything he wants.(that she can afford)
Just my view...
I was never spanked. Grounded yeah, but not spanked, there are other ways to punish children than spanking. Beating children leaves emotional scars (in the subconscious mind) which may influence their behaviour greatly when they're adults. Look at Saddam Hussein, he was beaten as a child.
I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the law of statistics.
I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my personal business. I would be "FIRED" immediately!
I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen you should have to speak English!. My father and grandfather shouldn't have to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry [Censored] if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.
I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed. I know what the definition of lying is.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc.., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document and open to their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television, and that doesn't stop you from watching them. I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little [Censored] ' when necessary and say "NO.
"I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And Please stay home until that new lip ring heals, I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me freaking fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness" and of all the suck ups that go along with it. I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa, so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.
And if you don't like my point of view, tough [Censored]
That's why I said that guns are made to kill. They are weapons by default. Cars are means of transportation.
As has been said before guns are made to kill, cars are made to drive and bats are made to play. If those guns were illegal then how could there be more deaths? Imaginary Guns? X-files anyone?
Doesnt saying no do the job well enough without taking your anger out on an innocent.

These are private companies and have the right to these titles. Admittedly, Rev. Jackson would come knocking to "White Entertainment Television" but the KKK and Strom Thurmond come knocking to BET too, Racism will exist so long as people consider themselves different due to coloring of the epidermis.

That was the most arrogant statement I have ever heard. People like that are the cause of all the racial tension.

Only having one language narrows your view on things.
I'm not saying cars or bats were designed to kill, I'm not saying guns are not designed to kill. I'm saying we need those killing guns where I live to keep us from hitting deer or bear. That's a bigger threat where I live than being shot by another person.
He never said to beat the kid, or take any anger out on he/she, just discipline.
What's trying to be said is that organizations like that shouldn't be allowed to 'seperate' people, or create ration tension and unrest.(because that's what they're doing)
How? You can still have a broad view on things if you only speak one language. What about those people who are mute and deaf? Do they have narrow views?

He said in plain speech "smack their little [Censored]" and there are very few things that could be censored.
How are they creating racial tension and unrest? I watch BET sometimes and they will have caucasians on, they do not exclude, BET is just a name.
The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.
