Q: Comment: That's funny, with Obama snubbing Israel? As usual, you've got it backwards. Just like the Jews who voted for Obama in 2008. When speaking today; TEL AVIV Dec 30, 2016—Israel’s political shift to the right and growing support for building settlements made it easier for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to respond sharply to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s parting peace-plan speech, but some here are concerned he is counting too heavily on a friendlier U.S. in a Trump presidency...Welcome to Reality, brought to you from Obama?

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.” General "Mad Dog" Mattis

Q: Comment: Try to stay calm. I cannot understand why young people now a days do such stupid things. Not grasping how their actions can destroy their futures and hurt so many and the pain it causes those who are family and love them.

Q: Comment: I've met many people like you in my 26 years in law enforcement.  Every single person I took a crime report from with them as the victim didn't wake up that day thinking they'd be a victim.  If you "fear" an inanimate object that much, see a shrink.  I do know of a woman whose boyfriend used to beat her severely enough to hospitalize her.  Even after a "restraining order" (Now THERE's some protection for ya), he'd kick in her door and beat her.  She finally purchased a weapon, learned how to use it, and was able to, at last, defend herself (see, we never COULD get there until AFTER she had the crap beat out of her, as she could never call the PD DURING the beating.)  Guess she just reached the point where her "fear" of guns, was surpassed by her fear of dying...or maybe it was just the "fear" of having to pay thousands more in hospital bills.  That's just one example.  But you do, or don't do, what you "gotta".  I'll do what I "gotta."
