Comment on Gun control analogies, take one. by Meredith Steffens

The second amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees every American the right to bear arms. Has any law ever been so ambiguous? What are arms? What does it mean to bear them? At least with the first amendment we know exactly where we stand: Freedom of speech. It couldn’t be any clearer. But, the right to bear arms leaves the second amendment open to different interpretations. We need gun permits to carry a concealed weapon. Do we need knife permits? No. Yet both can, and often do, cause death. We can own a gun, or a rifle, or a sub-machine gun, or a machete, and dozens of other tools to kill, even our own bare hands. So, gun control is a debate in our country that makes no sense unless you broaden the ban or acceptance to include all instruments of death.-;

Comment on Is ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ true to Oz books? by Gerson A

My question after seing the movie is this one, there was no king pastoria, so there is no Ozma, then how the hell the story will take place on the sequels after the third movie? If they follow the franchise.

Comment on BBC’s “Walking with Monsters” is Faith-based Fairytale. by Kate Stanford

Your tagline above is incorrect: this sounds like so much other stuff on the internet! Religion has *nothing* but made-up stories, and that’s okay: religion is supposed to sustain people until they get the science they need. But what science has shown us far exceeds the little things people like you cling to in the man-made Bible and other holy texts. Yes, that’s right, the Bible and the Koran and the Talmud and all the others, those are made by MEN. (I won’t even say “people,” since they were all men.) Imaginations that helped people understand and obey when they needed to follow, or when those in power just wanted them to shut up and do what they were told. You have no idea where there is life in this universe; you can’t even see your way out of your own driveway.
