Imagine the mess, a shooter starts, everyone pulls out their guns, a shooting frenzy, 100 times the casualties and everyone is seen as the shooter when the authorities arrive.
My thoughts exactly. The reasoning behind this proposition is shortsighted, to say the least. Suppose this passes, what'll you do when it's time for your boys to go to college? I'd not be too keen on sending my son to a university where everyone could be armed. Nor would I like him to carry a gun himself. "Here's your lunch and your Glock. See you tonight!"
Hundreds of kids with guns, packed into a single campus - quite the recipe for disaster.

Well me eldest is going to Westpoint, got that pretty much nailed down, my youngest, well I dunno, maybe send him out of state (above the Mason Dixon).
What scares me even more is binge drinking on campus, now add a gun to that...

Yeah. And even when they're sober kids are prone to do dumb sh*t. "Let's go scare Joey!"
West Point, eh? Now there's a gun-free environment!

Did they ever think to consider how many academics would be willing to teach in a classroom full of armed adolescents? Or are they proposing to issue professors with full body armour and stun grenades? There goes higher education. You might have no option but to send your kids out of state. -

Actually it is, and one with discipline. He wants to be a war historian/officer.
Another thing about kids is if they can they will carry a gun, like iPhones, if the popular kids carry them then everyone wants one, we are returning to our wild west days.

Been watching 'The Power of Nightmares'. Looks like Rummy's been at it a little while longer than I thought. Anyone else starting to think Dubya was a stooge?

Silly me - thought that was rather obvious!
Hence why Cheney was often referred to as the "Puppet Master". All the political bantering aside - IMPO Doonesbury seemed to have a more accurate depiction / portrayal of the "W" administration than any of the so-called "Real" news outlets.

Who is to blame?
Politicians that hold the world economy randsom while they bandstand for their voters?
-
How to get the stock market headed up, employment headed up, citizens to regain confidence in USA and just a general good feeling all around.
5 little words "I will not run again".
OK, let the brickbat start flying. It was just to calm on this site.
-
Mubarak: "I Will Not Run Again", I'm guessing you are refering to Obama now, but will deny the TEA party held the world economy to randsom.
You are probably wishing and praying for Rick Perry to announce he is running for president, because we all know how great Texas presidents are.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
Damn, just so happens the above is what I believe.
So let me get this straight, ordinary people across the country, say enough is enough, and hold meetings, help elect representatives that believe as they do is the cause of this catastrophe? No, don't think so. So my carfox says, "show me the plan"
Hello Solo

Nope, it's the Tea party pandering.
When in the past 74 times that the debt cieling been raised has there been a shit storm like this? NONE!
Why?'cause y'all repugs/teabaggers will do anything to destroy Obama, even if it means destroying your own counrty in the process.
George Bush raised it 7 times, Reagan raised it 18 times, but y'all said f@ck all, but when Obama does it then y'all make it out to be the end of the world.

Well Solo I see you are a good liberal. It only took two replies before you stooped to calling people names. Not a record, but fast, very fast. Curious why a liberal would find it OK to call people by a derogatory gay sexual act. No need to answer.
Now, for the question of the day, list the Democratic senators that voted for a debt ceiling raise when there was a Republican President?
When in the past 74 times have we been this far in debt. Nada.
As for destroying my country, nope, trying save this country, from a complete failure to be able to pay our future debts. No, I love my country. Just took a big hit on my retirement income the last couple of days. Not worried or mad, just know that we can not keep promising and promising without reaching the limit of our wealth, which I believe we have already exceeded.

Does the word Teabagger offend you? really?
Nothing 'Gay'on my side,just a buch of redneck yahoo's...ah! yes the homophobic party...I forgot.

Faultily information your definitions, a process people who have no facts or wish to obscure the facts use to misguide and confuse the audience.
Definition for teabagging:
To tea bag is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth of a sexual partner. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay.
The web site, how does this web site further or clarify the conversation about how far in debt we are as a nation?
So you didn't even try to answer the question about the senators.
Signed the Carefox, "Show me the plan"

@ Teabagging.I'm shocked you'd assume I mean't that, I'm shocked that such an act even exists.
