I'm very much into gun rights, and I've been fighting all day against people who seem to have the idea that the shooter was somehow hypnotized either by the weapons themselves or by his ammunition and clips to do this. <br /><br />I know what it is. It's cruel really, much like a sadistic rapist wanting to force a victim to beg to be assaulted. They know a gun ban will raise crime rates, and force people to beg for a totalitarian police state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-41898037086397536572012-07-21T23:00:21.998-05:002012-07-21T23:00:21.998-05:00Very true.

I've said before that if a woman has the "right" to abort a child without the consent or even the knowledge of the father, then fathers should not be forced to pay child support if the woman decides to have the baby. If it is "his baby too" after being born, then it is before it is born as well. Of course, I don't think abortion should be legal in the first place, but it shows the double-standard at work very well I think.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-32570742258670916892012-07-21T17:40:14.433-05:002012-07-21T17:40:14.433-05:00There is no such thing as a woman's "righ...There is no such thing as a woman's "right to abortion" and intercourse takes two, i.e., male and female, to produce a child; therefore, a woman does not have a right to abort the child of the father. Yes, indeed, the woman carries and births the child, but that child is equally the father's child, thus the father has identical executive power (but do not tell the "enlightened" ones). A woman's "right to abortion" because it is "her body" is fantasy created by the emotional, irrational, perverted, and sinful mind of man. If such a "right" exists, then every man ought to have "the right" to murder, to rape, to incest, to bestiality, to molestation, to steal, et cetera. Why not make everything illegal legal? It makes sense and, after all, man believes he is at liberty to "rights." Rights are abstract and the Lord our God never ordained rights to His creation because He knew the trouble "rights" cause.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-29059216631271592122012-07-21T16:31:48.728-05:002012-07-21T16:31:48.728-05:00Very spot-on that issue on abortion.

I do not support abortion, and it is mad, and unfortunate that so many people think of being pregnant as a chore, that fetuses are scum, and that raising babies is difficult. We live in a society that keeps on legalizing everything, and promoting every "human right" we can think of, without installing individual responsibility for those things.<br /><br />Good rant!carmeljamaicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290964278837339589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-37327846510898671082012-07-21T16:30:38.440-05:002012-07-21T16:30:38.440-05:00First, my thoughts and prayers go the alleged murd...First, my thoughts and prayers go the alleged murderer and his family and to the victims and their families. Second, call me a "conspiracy theorist" but this event eerily and suspiciously occurred at a time regarding the UN's "arms treaty." I dare say this event was coordinated to whisk the emotions and irrationality of the people to give approval of the UN's arms treaty. Now the media is spouting more gun control, well, the UN's arms treaty will now be considered by our benevolent republican government because they yearned for it--they just needed a shooting incident to occur to get approval. This event is too orchestrated and it occurred at a time of the UN's arms treaty; this, in my humble opinion, was no random shooting incident.

They're not, that's a tiny fraction and in those cases the rapist should be punished to the fullest extent of the law (I'd be fine with making eunuchs of them). It is also a canard to say that they are all due to economic difficulties. I'm sure some are but the government provides a wide variety of services, food, housing, medical care and so on for single mothers. In fact, the State gives them so many benefits many see it as beneficial to not marry the baby's father, so I don't buy that argument. The vast majority of unwanted pregnancies are due to simple stupid decisions. Usually this is people having too much to drink and forgetting to take precautions, someone forgot to go to the drugstore or someone forgot to take their pill (which to my mind is stupid anyway, putting your trust in a pill to prevent the natural functioning of the human body).<br /><br />More can be done by the Christian community and more should be done, I totally agree. My only point here was that people should be responsible for their own actions and not expect the help of others or the "right" to snuff out a life just to make their life easier or to avoid the emotional discomfort of giving a baby up for adoption.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-35447230124188398262012-07-21T09:03:42.822-05:002012-07-21T09:03:42.822-05:00By and large, O Mad One, I agree.

There are reasons or triggers, wounds or illnesses that can dispose one to sin or commit crime, but we have gone too far in allowing them to excuse evil. Better, perhaps, that they be taken into account in sentencing, but not in conviction/acquittal. <br /><br />I, myself, would be a little less adamant about all unwelcome or problematic pregnancies being the woman's fault (though no less adamant about the evil of abortion). There are many, many instances where the challenges of bringing a child to birth and caring for it are very real and very frightening for a woman whose pregnancy was not the result of "being stupid and getting pregnant."<br /><br />We Christians, who quite rightly oppose the murder of the unborn, need to be more proactive in providing alternatives and support for these women and their children (even if the pregnancy was the result of sinful behavior, in fact) and put our beliefs about mercy, forgiveness, and redemption into action. Although there are a couple ministries of this type sponsored within the Orthodox Church (speaking only of my own communion), they are not widespread and much more is needed.<br /><br />Through the intercessions of the Royal Saints Margaret of Scotland, Elizabeth of Hungary, and Elizabeth the New Martyr, may the Lord grant it be so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-53155658427725959392012-07-21T07:45:44.222-05:002012-07-21T07:45:44.222-05:00You are right on M.M.
