We should ban bombs in the USA.

Like putty in her hippie hands!

Great find Jim!

I certainly was in dire need of some good comic relief today!

What this says about today's society is rather sobering though....think Prozac might help me?

Let's think in more Machiavellian planning terms and suppose that Cheney's still in power, but his goal of an unending war on terror for profit is starting to sputter out, and losing public support?

Now Cheney has a bottle full of Islamic jihadist scorpions that he keeps stoppered up tight for just such an eventuality. All he needs to do to get public sentiment back on his side is unstopper this bottle and shake a few out to bite the public in the butt a few times, and presto!

The gullible public obediently falls back in line and the never ending war on terror has a new lease on life once again.

I know you guys think this is crazy conspiracy talk, but when the MSM is owned by multinational corps? It should be no surprise that their goals and aspirations become as easy to implement as producing a well directed Hollywood fictional movie capable of bringing their public audience to tears.

What does it all Mean Jomoco?
 
I'm just a dumb tree guy Bix, but the essence of what I'm trying to get at in this thread is not confined to my semicoherent ramblings alone. Other patriotic Americans far better educated than I share my observations and concerns about what's going on in this country today.

The following is just a brief minuscule outline of my concerns, done by my betters.



These policies have made the United States nearly unrecognizable, and have forced
us to survive on imports and debt. We are now incapable of producing enough for
ourselves and are at the mercy of other nations. It has taken less than two decades
for us to decline from superpower status to our recent weak and unproductive condition
due to "free trade."

The facts show that this is not just guessing, it is happening right now! "Free
trade" forces us to be uncompetitive and jobless, which has spawned the following
conditions:


* We have been losing an average of 14 factories every day due to factors like "free
trade," which permits other countries to freely engage in predatory mercantilistic
trade practices that produces products for as little as $2 to $4 an hour and ship
them to America tariff and duty-free
* Many of America's once great cities are now so crime-ridden due to the lack of
supportable jobs that you can't safely walk the streets in many formerly great
American cities. Just look at Detroit, the South side of Chicago, or East St. Louis
for examples
* Despite what the inaccurate government statistics may say, according to Shadow
Stats Services, the real unemployment rate in this country is not the 7.5% published
by the government. It is actually now nearly 23% when you include the long-term
unemployed who have been out of work for over a year that are taken off the government
employment rolls and not counted as unemployed. That means nearly a quarter of all
Americans who want to work cannot find jobs to support themselves and their families
* With such a high unemployment rate it should come as no surprise that nearly one
in four American families has no net worth, or a negative net worth, due to debt
Some people try to claim that Americans just have to be willing to work for less,
but we will never fix these problems by working for the low wages that would be
necessary for us to compete under "free trade."

Workers in many of our competitor nations toil in factories for $2 to $4 per hour.
To work for those wage rates in the United States to be competitive would be ridiculous.
Many couldn't even cover the cost of getting to work, let alone feeding their families
on that income.

We have seen that our "free trade" policies have left our country in shambles, yet
our politicians continue to push new counter-productive agreements on us, such as
the present secretly negotiated Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0010fqR...uhpUCEdGrMTwKU-KZg0QkWlqN0fLV4sivIH74CseJrs1]
now taking place.

How many disasters like this will it take before our politicians stop destroying
this country with these disastrous agreements? How long until people realize that
more of our political leaders are working for their campaign contributors who fund
their elections other than for the voters who elect them?

Our government has become shockingly ineffective. In other countries when things
get this bad they hold a vote of no confidence. We have no such system here. Our
electoral system is supposed to act to get ineffective politicians out of our government,
but in actuality it ensures that we will only get politicians who are loyal to the
lobbies and big donors and not to their electorate.

The people don't want these foolish "free trade" agreements, but lobbyists do. These
lobbyists who work for multinational corporations, Super PACs and other monied interests
are the ones that control the agenda in Washington DC and determine our laws. These
interests spend selectively on candidates for office to ensure that those who will
do their bidding are the ones who can stay in office.

This system is not working. It needs to be completely overhauled so that Washington
represents the American people once again. If something isn't done immediately,
it will be the end of America as we know it.

After the Boston tragedy I think the USA should ban bombs.

Make bombs illegal. That way we can be safer.

OH WAIT.....

Bombs are illegal....

Then how did this happen???








I'm just thankful it did not involve guns. Our right to bear arms does not need another blow.

Wow! This is one of the most absurd posts I've seen on Treebuzz, definitely in the top three. I get your crappy point, bombs are illegal but a bad guy still got one and did bad things with it. Let's look at the numbers though, bombs, which are totally illegal, have killed around 280 people in the US since 1910. That's right, 1910. Guns, which are not illegal, killed about 31000 people in 2012. That's right, ONE YEAR.

X, you have made the best argument for completely outlawing guns that I have heard to date.
 
The British monarchy would have loved your unrealistic utopian sentiments being enforced throughout every one of their colonies' subjects Banjo.

Too much like the 1950's era communists for me mate!

I don't really get your point. I'm not into banning guns but it's hard to argue with those numbers.
 
My point is that you've just contradicted yourself in one friggin sentence!

Just because a homeowner shoots a burglar dead for breaking into and attempting to rob his house. The fact that X amount of criminals get killed during the process is no justification for disarming that homeowner/renter.

America's entire history is comprised of messy slaughter of the innocents in the name of manifest destiny.

Pick a side mate. Stay in dangerous scary America, or immigrate to the people's republic of Britain already.

Banjo said, "Guns, which are not illegal, killed about 31000 people in 2012. That's right, ONE YEAR."

and 156 were murders and the other 30,844 were by cops, military and law abiding citizens protecting themselves and others.

BTW Banjo, anything I say is going to be viewed as stupid to you. Go smoke some weed and forget about it.

Well let me take a long drag of the finest Indica
As I point out historic examples and particulars

We shot off the pants of the tyrannical British
Without outlawing guns or anything so skittish

We slaughtered fellow countrymen over half a million without blinkin
Yet failed to disavow using the very weapon used to murder Lincoln

They swear to uphold and defend our constitution with hands on the bible
Then decide to disarm us without thinking we just might hold them liable

You see just as surely as this blue marble spins round and round
We hold our inalienable rights specifically to plant tyrants in the ground

We call ourselves patriots law abiding sons of liberty and freedom
Ready to carefully take aim and fire though some tyrants call it treason
