I guess Im not done ranting. When you argue that guns would have stopped Hitler, you are creating the false impression that somehow Hitler did this against the will of the German people. The German people wanted it. It would be like if 99% of Americans wanted to kill Native Americans. It doesnt matter if the Native Americans have guns, if they have horses, if they have an army. If you are the minority, guns wont save you. What you need is for people to recognize minority oppression and stop it before it happens. And yah that sometimes leads to people losing rights, or the govt creating stupid laws like "hate crimes". But if you really want to stop the Holocaust 2.0, those are the tradeoffs. The gun holocaust argument is a disgrace to every person who actually suffered under Hitler. Comments like this need to be destroyed. Germany was arguably the most scientifically advanced nation in the world. Due to dire circumstances they turned to Hitler for hope and believed that the Jews were really the cause of their problems. That if the Jews were killed Germany would be okay. THESE WERE NORMAL PEOPLE WHO MASSACRED THE JEWS. THIS COULD HAPPEN IN THE UNITED STATES. When you let hate control, when you let people say things like "Illegal immigrants are causing the US ...." you are going down the path of Goebbels. Your comment is the exact reason that we have to be so vigilant. Because it can happen anywhere, it can happen anywhere, it can happen anywhere. Jews were killed in Germany, Jews were killed in Spain, Jews were killed in Israel, Jews were killed in Russia, Jews were killed in Egypt, Jews were killed in ... It can happen anywhere. It is not about guns, it is not about "everyone is going to stand up for a minority, no one would ever lose control", bulls***. Even in America, lest we forget Native Americans, Japanese internment, Muslims after 9/11. And yes, it never got as far as Germany. But that is the point, if you ask a Jew who stayed in Germany, they always think "It never would go that far, these people were are neighbors are friends". Sorry but most of you just will never understand. You just cant understand.

Id have just preferred September get to be the hero father saving his "son" and the last scene have Walter with Peter, Olivia and Etta. After everything, I thought Walter earned getting to be with Peter.

Im not going to read 4 pages because its the weekend and Im not at work so Im not being paid to read the internet today. But I agree America has become weak, but its because of people that believe that they some how need the govt or need guns to protect themselves. We are god damn human beings, we are arguably the smartest animals on the planet, possibly in our solar system, possibly in the galaxy, and there are people that think they need a stupid weapon to stop the govt. They think that they need the govt to stop people from taking drugs, they need the govt to stop gay people from getting married, they need the govt to protect their soul because they are so fearful of god and going to hell. Screw that, I am so tired of this victim mentality in the United States. But I digress, the pen is mightier than the sword. Hitler didnt take over Germany through brute force, he took over Germany through clever thought and manipulation. Guns are a hope for the weak and scared, for those that think somehow a weapon under their pillow will keep them safe from all the monsters in the night. You might as well put up a dream catcher while youre at it. You want to be brave, you want to be a real man, put down the weapon, you dont need it. Duke, And if you want to talk about the Holocaust and about stopping it, why dont you ask people who actually survived? Have you ever met a holocaust survivor? What about someone who lived in Germany and escaped the Nazis? Or maybe someone who escaped Stalin? Because I have family members who did. And let me be honest, not one of them wants the nonsensical bulls*** that somehow having guns would have stopped that. All that guns would have done, was turned nights like "Kristallnacht" into the slaughter of Jews by German civilians with guns. You want to respect the Jews who survived, the people who actually were a part of the horrific nightmare you are so worried about, dont use them as an excuse for your arguments. Its disrespectful to not only the survivors of the holocaust, but to the hundreds of millions of jews who have been slaughtered through out history. Killing Jews was going to happen with guns or without guns, if you want to stop that, then maybe you should start railing against religion in govt and separation of church and state. You should want the President to stop swearing in on the Bible, you should want no prayer in school. Those are the ideas that lead to a Holocaust. Guns are nothing more than an instrument to carry out the idea. And quite frankly you should read about the Holocaust and WWII, because you will find out that Nazis learned very quickly that guns are a very inefficient tool for murder. Its just so tiring to hear people constantly refer to the Holocaust, when mathematically it can only have impacted less than 5% of the entire world. The Holocaust was about a majority turning on a minority. Guns wont stop that, the majority would have the guns, it would if anything, give the minority less of a chance. I think thats enough on this nonsense topic.

Yeah I think I would have preferred the fairytale ending. Although I think they try and leave you with some hope with the card triggering perhaps Peter's memory.

His grandma really did die. He really wrote letters to cancer patients, etc trying to help them. Unless it turns out he started this hoax from the beginning, hes most likely just a early 20s guy who is really really dumb and let a situation get out of control. He wont be the first, he wont be the last.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) I actually thin Brooklyn will pass the Knicks at some point as well. I just dont really want to play Miami. Even if Wade has completely broken down by then. BK, NY who cares.

No it is crazy. Rose hasnt played a game, the team has glaring weaknesses on offense. But I guess its just a testament to how bad the talent is in the East.

Best case scenario they have a shot at 2. I am just saying that I dont mind if they play it safe with players and rest them ending up with the 3 and having NY on the road (if that is how it plays out).

Its crazy but at this point you have to start believing the bulls have a shot at the central and the 3 seed.

lol Sometimes the breaks go your way.

You arent going to get a touch foul on the road when you are up 1. He should have passed the ball instead of dribbling into the corner which created a double team and also pinned him against both sidelines. Pretty much the worst possible decision you could make. He didnt deserve a foul call.

That was just terrible.

Worst case scenario has to be the bulls just running down the clock and putting up a prayer. 45 seconds or so and a 1 point lead should mean bulls have a chance to win or tie no matter what. Im not sure why Noah cant post up Sullinger.

I guess the inverted offense is working with Noah at the top. The Bulls just basically need to play smart for 2 more possessions. No Rondo, just play smart and make them take a jump shot.

Bulls need to have Noah go at Sullinger in the paint Thank you

I really prefer to go for the win when you are on the road and Deng is hurt, but once the play broke down you had to take anything.

lol Bulls try and lose, but somehow ball finds way to open man.

Yeah once Deng went down it was going to be rough. Just hate to have such a close game decided by stupid plays at the end. Guess its possible that they somehow pull it out.

Call a time out cant even run play to get ball in bounds. Anger level rising.

Unfortunately that would just eliminate dribbling as then theyd give them 3+ steps

Hopefully Deng just has a strained quad.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 05:51 PM) indeed. I got duped back in 2000. talkin' to this girl on-line who had a SEXY ass voice and said people said she looked like pochahantas or however you spell it. And I believed her. Talked to her for like 4 months. never got a pic from her. but i never suspected she was lying. we finally set up a meeting and god f***ing damn. b**** looked like urcala the seawitch from littler mermaid. i ain't never been right since. but at that point, it was either webcam or i ain't talkin' to you. Good rule of thumb is that any girl you see on the internet subtract at least 2 from. Even webcam id say if she looks like an 8, more likely a 6.

I just wish that I could fast forward to 2 weeks from now when the actual facts come out. Ive done my speculating, now I just want to know if I was right or wrong. (edit) Dont be so sure that girl wasnt involved. According to this article: http://www.lostlettermen.com/manti-teo-diane-omeara/ She was HS friends with that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. And according to the article Fathom posted, she didnt come to work today and hasnt been answering phone calls.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) Have to assume Syracuse and Pitt end up in the Big 10 or 12 then too Wont happen. Pitt will never be a part of the Big 10. They would bring almost no revenue for the conference, and it could cause each school to get less money as Pitt wont bring a new state. For whatever reason the big 10 wanted Rutgers over Syracuse, so I dont think thats likely either. But that article is from a guy who has been wrong a few times, so its more for fun, than reality.
