pelosisstil, While your response goes a long way in showing your true character (name calling and insults) it totally ignores the question.
I wonder why?

jn, pissant that it is, sez

where are the republicans in this case...

well, pilgrim, I am a Republican - and I heard about this case from a fellow Republican who is disgusted as I am. While the Ga-ye thing doesn''t do a thing for me, I did hear that the kid who murdered this poor boy came from a typically dysfunctional family (you know, the kind Dems usually champion, if you wish to get political).

He had NO parents and was raised by his grandfather. So where were mom and dad? In jail? Doing drugs somewhere?? the biological parents should also be placed in prison with this hate-filled kid whom they abdicated the responsiblity of raising. And if they get life, well, so much the better.

A hate crime?

Why because he as a "cross-dresser"!

And yes schoollord, is right, these types of shootings are mainly committed by registered gun-owners, and not wayward street thugs.

In the Terri Schiavo case, the republican controlled congress passed a bill, trying to force re-insertion of Schiavo%u2019s life supports:
~~~~~

%u2018Voting 203 to 58 at 12:42 a.m., the House joined the Senate in approving the measure and rushing it to President Bush. He signed the bill into law at 1:11 a.m., saying, "I will continue to stand on the side of those defending life for all Americans, including those with disabilities."

Knowing that what you are bringing into your homes are deadly weapons which increase the chances of death. Who with common sense will raise those chances in his/her household?
Posted by schoollord

There are lots of items considered deadly or dangerous. Common sense determines how one manages those items.

f you guys are consistently breeding a$$holes then you should not be vouching or bragging about your worms!~

It''s not the worms that are the problem, it''s the lack of common sense. Same philosophy with "SOME" gun owners, not "ALL" which you inaccurately imply.

Those wackos are mostly gun owners.

The gun owners I know are respectable, intelligent, and contribute to society in ways you aren''t capable of comprehending. The wackos I know are delusional, insecure, intolerant, and lack analytical thinking...a category you fit well in.

American Men need a weapon to take the place of that small useless worm in there pants. Loosers

If our worms are useless, then why are we consistently breeding a$$holes? BTW, comparing a few psychotics to the general population is pointless, insignificant, and a reflection of your ignorance.

I''m bothered by CBS''s use of the term "harvested" for this young man''s internal organs. The organs were donated. Somehow harvesting suggests man collecting for his own purposes the fruits of nature. This young man''s family chose to memorialize his life by helping save the lives of others. To use a utilitarian term for such a great gift demeans it.
