Why Does Anybody Need An Assault Rifle?
Posted by KingShamus on January 9, 2013
No seriously, why?
This dude has the answer.
Like, I'm trying to find something to quibble with–But…I…Just…Can't….Do…It.
I'll just add this from a technical perspective: The AR-15, one of the premier semi-auto rifles on the planet, makes for an amazingly adaptable platform. This NYShooters forum thread lays out just a few of the calibers you can get an AR chambered in. Basically, an AR can be made to do everything from plinking tin cans to defending a house from intruders to taking down a moose. It's basically the firearms equivalent of buying a Mini Cooper car and being able to turn it into a Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford F-350 Super Duty pick-up truck and a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Mr. Colion Noir's vids are pretty rockin'. He's a less-schticky more practical-minded FPS Russia, but he throws in some pop-culture stuff too. Most of all, dude makes so much sense that he deserves another clip.
How many of these apply to you?
I scored a solid 15.
Post your scores in the comments.
I snagged the video links from CBD at Ace's sidebar thingy.

I'm going to go into broken record mode here: an AR15 is not an "assault rifle". It doesn't help when pro-gun people participate in the assault rifle/semi-automatic confusion.
As to why does anyone "need" a semiautomatic: well, why does anyone "need" to smoke pot?

What's my score? I'm partial to the Scores on the west side. Nice strippers.

The man is correct in his positions, but he missed the most important part. The second amendment exists to safeguard the public from a tyrannical government. To that end, the public must be allowed access to purchase and own AR-15's, AK-47's, etc. so long as they are semi-automatic and high capacity magazines to boot. Otherwise, what's the point of using a .22 against armed troops? The founders had just gotten done with fighting a shooting war to secure individual liberty and they wanted to make certain that the public could do so again.
Self defense, the defense of others, sporting and hunting purposes were secondary to that consideration.

Note: This WordPress plugin is no longer being maintained. I originally wrote this plugin in 2006 in order to teach myself php. It was a great exercise and I'm very glad to know that my work has been appreciated and put to good use. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to continue its development. If you are interested in updating this plugin, please contact me. Further support requests should be directed to the WordPress support forum for this plugin. Thank you for your understanding.
What Is WP-SNAP!?
The WP-SNAP! WordPress Plugin creates an alphabet-based navigation menu from post titles for use on a Category or Page template file. Navigation through the listings WP-SNAP! generates is accomplished using the alphabet itself. (For example, if a site visitor clicked on the letter D, any post titles that began with that letter would be showcased.) WP-SNAP! will work on any WordPress 2.1.x or higher site, but is particularly useful managing glossaries, indexes, reviews, or directories.Download The Plugin
WP-SNAP! offers three different navigational styles and integration with both custom permalinks and the WordPress loop. Plugin options can be managed both site-wide and on the template itself with results either restricted to one category or broadened to include child categories as well. The clever web developer should have no problem seamlessly integrating WP-SNAP! into their latest project. Options have also been added to allow the customization of css class names and the appearance of html mark-up.
How To Configure WP-SNAP!
- Click on the link to the right to download the WP-SNAP! WordPress Plugin, extract it and upload it to your WordPress Plugins folder on your site.
- Activate the Plugin from the WordPress Administration Plugins tab.
Edit the category templates your Theme uses, such as category.php, and add the following code above the start of the WordPress Loop:
<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap(); } ?>
- Copy the CSS example below and paste it into your WordPress Theme stylesheet (you can style it better later).
- Upload the files and refresh the category page on your WordPress blog to see it in action.
For further customization, go to WordPress Admin > Plugins > WP-SNAP! Settings. The available settings allow you to make site-wide changes to things like the alphabet, the navigational structure, permalink structure. You may also change the categories to be displayed and the menu navigational structure by passing variables as a query-string to the plugin like so:
<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap('arguments'); }
There are currently four possible arguments: Category ('cat'), Include Category Children ('child'), Navigational Menu Style ('menu'), and First Load ('firstload'). Category must equal a category number from your WordPress installation, Include Category Children must equal true or false as to whether to include child categories (the default value is false), Navigational Menu Style must equal a number between 1 and 3 (corresponding with the three navigational styles offered in the admin options panel), and First Load must equal ALL, NONE or RECENT and will affect how WP-SNAP! displays posts/tags when it is first called on a template. Note that if RECENT is selected, the number of recent posts/tags to display can be controlled from the admin options page. For instance, to create a navigational menu for all posts in category 15, including child categories, using the default menu navigational style, and displaying recent posts on first load, WP-SNAP! would be called like this:
<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap('cat=15&child=true&firstload=recent'); } ?>
To create a navigational menu for the current category, excluding child categories and using navigational menu style 3, WP-SNAP! would be called like this:
<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap('menu=3'); } ?>
To create a navigational menu for all categories, using default navigational menu style, WP-SNAP! would be called like this:
<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap('cat=all'); } ?>
- Test it out and enjoy!
Note: For the Plugin to work, you must have access to edit your WordPress Theme files. You must also have a
category.php template file in your WordPress Theme. If you do not, you can create one following the instructions on the WordPress Codex for creating a category template file.
CSS Styling
It should be noted that this plugin does not inject any css styling information, so it is up to the user to add the appropriate class information to the WordPress Theme css stylesheet. Here is some sample code to get you started:
ol.snap_nav {
display: inline;
float: left;
clear: both;
list-style: none;
ol.snap_nav li {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 0 2px 10px 0;
ol.snap_nav li a {
font-weight: bold
ol.snap_nav li.snap_selected a {
cursor: text;
ol.snap_titles {
clear: both;
display: block;
border: 0;
list-style: none;
This plugin thrives on user feedback. Praise, ideas, and bug reports are all welcome. Use the comment form below to let me know what you think. Please keep in mind that I am not paid to work on this plugin and that delays between updates can and will occur. Please do not post questions about when the next update will be released. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but your comment will be deleted. If there is a significant delay between releases, I try to post a timeframe of when the next update can be expected.
Thank You
My thanks to Lorelle VanFossen for reviewing my plugin and allowing me to reuse her instructions on this page.

Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison - Good opening match. But I think we all knew Ziggler was going to win. As if Morrison apparently heading towards unemployment wasn't bad enough, the guy has to hear how much the MSG crowd wanted Ryder in the match instead of him. Ryder coming out was the only thing that kept the crowd from chanting Morrison out of the building with the "Na na na, na na na,
Wrestling fans are referred to within the wrestling business as "marks"
The term was used for decades of course, but many of us didn't know it existed. But it was fair. It implied that we didn't know what was going on. That we thought what we were watching was real. And most of all, that we were willing to pay money to see it. Which we did. We were all "marks"
Alright well, we all have our opinions on John Cena. Most of the "IWC" has no use for the guy. They/we don't dislike Cena the man, just the performer. But I haven't seen too many people take a honest look at the performer without giving in to their personal dislike of him. So I'm gonna give it a shot by looking at the facts about him as a performer, and then throw in my personal opinion
Watched most of the MITB PPV last night. Thought I'd throw out a few thoughts.
Smackdown MITB - Didn't see the match as I came home late last night, but I heard it was pretty damn good. Nice to see Daniel Bryan win it. Don't think anyone saw that coming. I'll go ahead and call it the first swerve of the night. And I guess Sheamus looked pretty good in the match as well.
When I was a little fella, I remember that many of the guys that eventually became the WWF Champ, or at least really big stars, always seemed to be an IC Champ, King of the Ring, Tag Team Champ, or Rumble winner on their way up the ladder. It never dawned on me that it was more that just a coincidence. I was a young mark back then, ya see.
But of course it was intentional. It was

Just having a difficult week here. It's been 5 months since I lost Callie, but this week it felt like it was just yesterday. We got together with some friends from out of town a few days ago. The last time they saw me (this past summer) I was newly pregnant and excited. Our friend was also pregnant and due in September. We had such fun talking about how our kids would play together when we got together again. So, we meet up, and in she walks with her precious little boy, and in I walk with empty arms. It wanted to be excited for her, but just looking at that baby made me so terribly sad. I held him for only a moment because I just couldn't deal with the pain. Then today, we visited my cousin who has a new baby as well. Things weren't any easier.
Just when I feel like I can somehow deal with this, a week like this this happens and I feel devestated. What a mess! Please tell me that the rest of you continue to have this "two steps forward, one step back" syndrome too. I feel like I'm going batty.
Thanks for listening to me babble,
Callie's Mom
Mommy to Chase (born 31 weeks, emergency c-section due to abruption and PE), and to Callie (my angel, delivered at 24 weeks, stillborn due to severe PE and HELLP)

Just in time for summer break, there's a new Chuggington DVD for your kids to enjoy!
In "Wilson And The Ice Cream Fair," the Chuggington trainees are embarking on new adventures, this time to an ice cream fair, the mayor's banquet, and the ice caves! Wilson is the main character, but Brewster, Koko, Old Puffer Pete, and Mtambo make an appearance on the DVD, as well. By following along, your kids will learn lessons about cooperation, bravery, and responsibility.
The DVD is about sixty minutes long and was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment, the company that distributed Thomas & Friends videos up until a few years ago. This is the seventh Chuggington DVD they've released. Other releases include "Let's Ride The Rails" and "Traintastic Adventures." In addition to the Chuggington DVDs, Anchor Bay Entertainment also distributes childhood favorites like Nick Jr's Wubbzy and the storybook-based Eloise DVDs.
"Wilson And The Ice Cream Fair" is available in DVD stores nationwide and can be purchased online. If you want to know more before you buy it, you can even watch the trailer!

As the "traditional marriage" forces have been in retreat, both legally and rhetorically, there's an argument we haven't heard as much as we did a few years ago: that if you allow gay people to get married, then the same logic will demand that we also allow incest marriages and polygamous marriages. Today, Kent Greenfield grapples with it here at the Prospect; go read his piece, then come back and I'll tell you what I think about this.
My hunch is that the reason the incest argument has faded is that the anti-equality forces never gave it all that much thought in the first place. It was just something outside the prevailing definition of marriage that they thought would sound crazy to everyone, so they tossed it out there. The basic argument was that once you "change the definition of marriage," you'll be changing it to accommodate any preference anybody had. A man will marry his brother! A woman will marry her cat! A cat will marry a gerbil! (Bill O'Reilly is, for some reason, particularly troubled by the thought of interspecies marriage. Perhaps he doth protest too much?)
The reality is that we've changed the definition of marriage many times before when the definition was no longer in accord with our contemporary values (for instance, women who get married are now no longer their husband's property, and people of different races are allowed to get married), and one more change doesn't mean that there are no more limits whatsoever. As people became more comfortable with this particular change, the idea that it would necessitate other changes for which no one was advocating didn't have much persuasive power.
But more importantly, what the debate over marriage equality exposed is that the status quo definition of marriage never had much of a rationale behind it in the first place. It was just how we did things, and few people gave it much thought. When opponents of same-sex marriage were forced to define the rationale for the status quo, the best thing they could come up with was that marriage is only about procreation, a justification that falls apart on a moment's consideration (after all, we don't forbid postmenopausal women from marrying).
The debate also exposed that the anti-equality forces were completely unable to articulate a harm that could spring from gay people being allowed to marry. They offered some vague ideas about "devaluing" heterosexual marriages, but as the court in the Proposition 8 case found, there was nothing to them. In the end, since no one was able to show a demonstrable harm from gay marriages, no one was able to prove they had the legal standing to act as a party against such marriages, and that was where the case in favor of Prop. 8 fell apart.
That's where we come to incest and polygamy. As Greenfield describes, the case for the societal harm coming from incest and polygamy isn't all that strong. Even though many polygamous arrangements are terribly coercive, you can certainly conceive of ones that wouldn't be. If we wanted to, there might be a way to restructure the law to allow, say, three consenting adults who wanted to join in a union to do so, while still forbidding Warren Jeffs-style nightmares.
And yes, there's a nearly universal taboo against incest, and if forced to answer why that is, you'd probably respond that incestual relationships produce offspring with birth defects. How often would that actually happen? I doubt there's much data on the topic, since it's so rare. And what if a brother and sister in their 50s wanted to get married? It would be hard to say what harm would come from it. Yes, Joffrey Baratheon is a monster, but given the limitations of genetic analysis in Westeros, we don't know whether that's a result of his unusual parentage. And beyond the occasional tossing of a young boy out a window, who's really harmed by Jamie and Cersei's love?
To be clear, I'm not coming out in favor of incest and polygamy. But rolling these questions around, you begin to realize that it isn't something we've thought too much about. For the first time in our lifetimes, we're having an extended national debate on what marriage is for, as our own E.J. Graff put it. The answers can lead us to some uncomfortable places.

I found Greenfield's piece to be wanting. The better analogy is to anti-miscegenation laws - laws that prevent two single, legally competent adults from marrying each other. In polygamous relationships, depending on how the marriage is structured, at least one of the individuals in the proposed union is already married. They're not being treated differently from other married persons because of something about the person they hope to marry - they are being treated exactly the same as other married people. It would be in the "restructure the law to allow [a marriage of], say, three consenting adults" proposal that people would again be treated unequally.
Also, the concept of the polygamous marriage would create enormous complications for tax, property, divorce, insurance, pubic assistance, and estates laws, and likely in other less obvious areas of law as well. What do you do when a marriage has lasted 800 years - not because Methuselah has returned, but because new spouses keep coming into the marriage? What do you do when there are sixteen parents claiming custody and access rights to a child? Or to their collective 43 children? Yes, if we say "No more than three spouses" we could simplify that mess, but as previously suggested that would actually be more discriminatory and more arbitrary than the status quo.
You allude to Westeros, a fictional context in which incestuous love is forbidden, but we know as a matter of historic fact that many royal lineages have engaged in incest of varying degrees. That's how we ended up with poor, miserable Charles II of Spain. Yes, somewhere in the background of, "Ick, siblings", is the fact that such unions are much more likely to result in babies born with birth defects. The exception for royals highlights both the cultural component of incest, and a compelling state reason to forbid it that has nothing to do with the "ick" factor or consent, even if Greenfield wants to believe that people would deem that an action of the "nanny state". The argument that the math isn't compelling - that the additional risk of birth defects isn't a sufficient basis to forbid incestuous relationships - is interesting, but you have examples like the high rate of fumarase deficiency (resulting in severe developmental disability) in children born to polygamists in certain FLDS communities as a real-world example of what happens when the numbers go the other way.
If Greenfield were to argue that some of the motivations for anti-incest and anti-polygamy laws are archaic or arise from incorrect assumptions and exaggerated fears, that case can be made. But the suggestion that there is a slippery slope from gay marriage to polygamy and incestuous marriage is an example of the fallacious use of the slippery slope.
As for the consent thing, there are plenty of contexts in which we presume coercion or incompetence, most often based on age. Would it be possible to administer individual testing and assessments to determine that a person were competent at an earlier age than the law provides, whether to drive, smoke, drink, or consent to sex with an adult? Sure. Is it permissible for state legislatures to impose an irrebuttable presumption that certain circumstances are unduly coercive even if individuals, given the opportunity, could prove that their case is exceptional? Absolutely. Prison inmates can't sleep with guards, in many states teachers can't sleep with adult high school students, etc. - and a prohibition on incest between consenting adults is sufficiently similar that I have a very difficult time believing that the courts would hold a similar presumption of coercion to be inappropriate.

"In polygamous relationships, depending on how the marriage is structured, at least one of the individuals in the proposed union is already married. They're not being treated differently from other married persons because of something about the person they hope to marry - they are being treated exactly the same as other married people."
First of all, I would like to remind you that a single woman, who wants to marry a man, who is already married, is indeed being treated differently from other persons because of something about the person they hope to marry.
Second, as per your logic, gay people are not being treated differently since they too are free to marry someone of the opposite-sex
"Also, the concept of the polygamous marriage would create enormous complications for tax, property, divorce, insurance, pubic assistance, and estates laws, and likely in other less obvious areas of law as well."
Legalizing polygamous marriage would not create anymore complications than legalizing gay marriage would.
"What do you do when there are sixteen parents claiming custody and access rights to a child? Or to their collective 43 children?"
Why would there be 16 parents claiming custody to children they did not create?
"Yes, somewhere in the background of, "Ick, siblings", is the fact that such unions are much more likely to result in babies born with birth defects"
Ahh but as per the arguments of gay marriage advocates, procreation has nothing to do with marriage anymore so your argument is invalid.
"If Greenfield were to argue that some of the motivations for anti-incest and anti-polygamy laws are archaic or arise from incorrect assumptions and exaggerated fears, that case can be made. But the suggestion that there is a slippery slope from gay marriage to polygamy and incestuous marriage is an example of the fallacious use of the slippery slope."
How can you argue that the right to gay marriage is different from the right to polygamous marriage? Why shouldn't heterosexuals have marriage equality? Why should heterosexuals settle for second=class citizenship?
Arguing that the right to polygamous marriage flows from the right to gay marriage is not a slippery slope theory - it's basic logic!

"Second, as per your logic, gay people are not being treated differently since they too are free to marry someone of the opposite-sex."
hat argument is exactly the same that the State of Virginia used to maintain its anti-miscegenation laws. Virginia felt sure that equal-protection arguments wouldn't hold up, because whites and non-whites were being treated equally: each of them was permitted to marry someone of the same race, and only prohibited from marrying persons of the other race. Fortunately, the Supremes rejected this argument in 1967.
The opinion decided the case not only on equal protection grounds (barring interracial marriages is racial discrimination per se) but also on substantive due process grounds. "To deny this fundamental freedom [to marry] on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law." (emphasis added)

It is a stupid excuse to prevent incest or polygamous marriages on the basis of "overpopulation" or "reformed babies". In fact, there are babies that are born from incestual relationships that do not have a birth defect. Not only that, but deformed babies can come from people who are not even siblings. Should we exclude them from marriage because genetically they are more than likely to have a deformed baby? Its not honestly fair. And incest may not include simply siblings, but what about distant cousins? There are many people who marry their cousins that do have legitimately normal babies. FDR was married to his cousin.
Gay marriage can cause just as much of a problem as polygamy, if we think about. If gay love were to spread it can just as easily be the end of civilization in the long run, which is the opposite of polygamy. In a sense, polygamy happens everyday. People always cheat on their spouses and have illegitimate children. Some people have three different baby-mommas and baby-daddies. So why not legally allow a person to have two wives or two husbands? At least its a legal way to allow a side piece relationship in that life. And what if the spouse is bisexual? They can have both a husband and a wife, and this may not cause any legal problems with children nor over population.
And seriously, there is nothing wrong with marrying an animal. You can't get pregnant from them. As long as the animal doesn't cause harm to others (like a lion, or a bear) I don't see the problem. And the fact that people say marriage is not about procreation, that is all the more reason why these other groups should be allowed to love freely without legal restrictions.

There is no good reason to deny that we must keep evolving until an adult, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, monogamy or polyamory, race, or religion is free to marry any and all consenting adults, regardless of consanguinity. The limited same-gender freedom to marry is a great and historic step, but is NOT full marriage equality, because equality "just for some" is not equality. All the objections raised against polygamous or polyamorous and consanguineous marriages only apply to specific cases, not in general, and aren't applied consistently to other relationships. Plenty of people have horror stories about supposedly monogamous, heterosexual, nonconsanguineos marriages (and plenty of children born to such marriages have had genetic problems) but we don't ban them, do we?
Consensual incest is legal in Rhode Island and New Jersey. Data does not indicate a problem (well, other than "Jersey Shore"). Why should marriage rights be denied? I personally know triads and close relatives (some of them didn't meet until they were adults) who would legally marry the day it became legal. They have beautiful, healthy, lasting relationships and should not be denied, no matter who finds any given relationship disgusting. Look up consanguinamory.

This is ridiculous, disgraceful, and totally irresponsible. A piece completely harmful to the hard work of human rights and women's rights activists.
First off, no chooses to be LGBT - and remember LGBT people include LGBT children too.
Things like polygamy and incest on the other hand ARE chosen.
While marriage equality will bring equality to society, things like polygamy and incest will bring societal problems.
And remember, marriage equality exists in CIVILIZED and DEVELOPED democracies, and is a MODERN and PROGRESSIVE idea.
Where does polygamy exist? In BACKWARD societies! It is a tool of PATRIARCHAL societies.
Lastly, LGBT rights are human rights (as confirmed by the UN Human Rights Council).
Where does polygamy stand in relation to human rights? As something which human rights organizations have called to be ABOLISHED throughout the world! Indeed polygamy is a VIOLATION of human rights, AND TWO globally binding human rights conventions (the ICCPR and the CEDAW).
As the world moves forward backward things will be abolished, and modern equality will prevail!
EQUALITY FOR ALL means the right of every person to marry ONE OTHER PERSON with the usual reasonable requirements.
John Howard

"EQUALITY FOR ALL means the right of every person to marry ONE OTHER PERSON with the usual reasonable requirements." That's true, but not being the same sex is a reasonable requirement. Marriage should always approve and allow the conception of offspring of the marriage, and couples that are prohibited from procreating together, like siblings, like people married to someone else, are never allowed to marry. That's what we are saying when we prohibit a relationship type from marriage - that it is unethical for that kind of relationship to reproduce offspring together. Well it is unethical for a same-sex couple to reproduce offspring together, even more than it is for siblings or adulterous couples. Attempting to reproduce with someone of the same sex should be prohibited like incest and adultery and bigamy are.
Wed, 2013-11-13 19:50
People married to someone else are, of course, not prohibited from procreating. It's common: 10-25% of us have mistaken beliefs about who our fathers are. And attempting to reproduce with someone of the same sex needs a legal prohibition about as much as breathing water or flying by flapping our arms does. What is more, in many marriages, conception is impossible.
Wed, 2013-07-17 09:46
Look, I'm totally neutral on the polygamy issue, but it seems to me there is a very simple point to be made here. The strong argument about same-sex marriage is and always has been an equality argument, as in: equal protection of the laws. The Massachusetts SJC, for example, noted specifically that there simply were no aspects of the law governing marriage that depended upon the spouses' being of opposite sexes. So no laws had to be changed or updated or anything when same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts. Only the wording on certain forms had to be changed. And it is the same everywhere else. Why? Because if there were gender biases in marriage law, that would clearly be objectionable, since it would amount to sex discrimination.
This argument simply does not apply to the case of polygamy. So there is no parallel, and there never was one. Maybe there is a case to be made the polygamous marriage should be legally permitted. But that case will not be an equal protection case.

I think that previous comments have made the case why polygamous and, to a lesser degree, incestuous marriages are not on the same-sex-marriage slippery slope.
But I want to note that same-sex marriage has not, by any means, removed consideration of procreation or children from marriage. Marriage is not (has basically never been) strictly about procreation or children, but, still, marriage has the standing that it has largely because it forms a critical structure for having and raising children.
The essential facet of marriage is that it supports a stable relationship between two people, and that support very cleanly flows to children in a marriage relationship.
Of course, many same-sex couples, like many heterosexual couples, marry just for themselves, not for a nuclear family. But many same-sex couples do have (or want) children - whether from previous relationships, adoption, or otherwise. Marriage is a key element of equality, for individuals, for couples, and for same-sex-parent families.

Incest has an "ick" factor for me, but as long as it is between CONSENTING ADULTS (which means NOT between Daddy and his underage "princess"), and the people involved are AWARE of the genetic risks (which can be foreseen more clearly now than formerly), I can think of no societal harm that would result. Likewise, despite the challenges of polygamy (such as Mark Twain pointed out, from the Bible, that "no man can serve two masters"), if the spouses are all CONSENTING ADULTS. It may be necessary to encourage these would-be families to work out pre-nuptial agreements by establishing default inheritance and property division rules that are distasteful to the less wealthy partners. That, however, can be handled (the idea of a mega-joint tax return may be a challenge).
That being said, the only societies that actually PRACTICE polygamy and incest are the "messiah organized" religious cults in our society, and traditional cultures in other countries. And only the (male) messiah and his inner circle of (male) leaders are allowed to have multiple wives (and of course, no women are allowed to have multiple husbands; they are not even allowed to CHOOSE their husbands). And their status as "religious" leaders allows them to choose their own underage daughters as "wives" with no right to decline the "honor" of marrying the "messiah" or "prophet." Also, since boys and girls are born in about equal numbers, "excess" boys either get evicted from the cult as teenagers (with no education to earn a living outside) or somehow "disappear."
Therefore, I feel that incest and/or polygamy should not be legalized unless that legal status ALSO includes even TOUGHER penalties for child molestation and "sex slavery" than we already have, when the victims are part of the offender's "family."

I've personally been a witness of two brothers now deceased who married two sisters who were their first cousins. The resulting offspring are mostly disabled from blindness, severe arthritis mental problems and have burdened the social and medical system not to mention SSI benefits that will become astronomical. This is the main reason that we lawfully prevent incest, to prevent concentrating same genes in offspring. I've also witnessed cattle ranchers keeping the same bull for breeding three generations of cows. All of the cows looked alike(how cute) except each generation was smaller than the preceding one. Only idiots can be created by incest unless they are sterile or sterilized. I've even been around mongoloid people that impregnated each other only they were wards of the state and few needed abortions because of BC pills were administered daily.

Well, the bottom line is that any person can tell whether it is right or wrong for homosexuals to claim they are married, and the entire motivation behind it is to destroy the institution of marriage, making a state in which amorality is the norm and all children have claim on the state for their support. Of course, the state will support all children in return for all children being slaves of the state. Maybe the state could borrow a couple of trillion dollars every year to pay for the support of all children.
So what is it really all about?
If all children are supported by the state, the state gets to say how many children there will be. Welcome to China.
Mon, 2013-10-21 14:25
How will more people getting married "destroy the institution of marriage?" Or will it merely destroy your concept of what marriage ought to be?
If anything has destroyed the institution of marriage, it's the 60% divorce rate among all those heterosexuals you're charging with maintaining the institution.

You have no idea how it pains me to say Rush Limbaugh might have been right about something, but he predicted pedophilia will eventually be "normalized."
Nobody dares defend pedophilia outright, but it's possible to nibble around the edges of sexual norms. Questioning incest is one avenue, especially if the parties aren't blood relatives (as in a recent WV case). Decriminalizing teen sexting and consensual sex between minors is another. Then maybe lowering the age of consent. Meanwhile there will be assertions that the psychological harm of pedophilia is due to the way society reacts to it.
Tue, 2014-01-28 15:56
the problem with lowering the age of consent is that most teenagers don't have the experience or the brains (their brains are not yet fully formed) to make good decisions. I think in many cases the age should be higher. Research supports that girls brains reach maturity earlier then boys. This is why I don't' support this very bad trend of trying children as adults in court. They are not adults because their brains aren't finished forming.
Tue, 2014-01-28 15:47
I have no problem with any type of marriage as long as all parties are of legal age and are entering into the marriage because they want to. You can't control how people feel and as long as there isn't an issue of infringing on someones rights who are we to decide that any type of love is wrong? Pedophilia however does infringe on the rights of the child who can not give legal consent and shouldn't be allowed to until they are of legal age. If our laws were based on the idea that people can do as they wish as long as they do NOT INFRINGE on the rights of other citizens, how much better would things be. I think addicts should be allowed to do the drugs they want as long as they do not have children. You can't force an addict to be clean so why not give them safe drugs and if they die...they die. It's their choice. I'm sick of trying to save everyone. It wold be much cheaper to get rid of the war on drugs and use that money to provide health care and other things. Did we learn nothing from prohibition?

What's the difference between a computer programmer and a software developer? If you are just after the art or science or whatever of computer programming without the associated software engineering, you will not go anywhere with your career. And, working solo also won't get you very far either. You will need a team; even though you will not be holding hands or sharing the keyboard while working, you will need a team.

Computer programmers create, test, and fix bugs in software programs by working with computer code, says the U.S. Department of Labor.
I LOLed.
Nothing like those programmers that create and test bugs
Posted 29 April 2013 - 16:33
I think the terms can be used interchangeably but I think the way they are portrayed in this article is that a computer programmer is one who works for a company or some other entity and does programming for their product,while a software developer is one who creates their own software(alone or through a team) products and sells them.
Posted 29 April 2013 - 16:47
There is no doubt that programmers create bugs, but it was worded like that was their main function

My Profile
Dr. Ahmed Bahaa
Visual Studio ALM
Dr. Ahmed Bahaa's technical community involvement story starts from his university student years where he used to be Student Union's VP. Through this role, he used to conduct some technical sessions for his colleagues in University. He first began speaking in public-level events during Middle East Visual Studio .NET 2002 Launch (Version 1.0) which was held on March 2002 in Cairo-Egypt, where he presented the ADO.NET session. "Since then, I always try to be an active member in the Technical Community. Working for Community inspires me, and pushes me always to achieve more because; I believe that the value of any man doesn't come from how much he can get for himself but, it comes from how much he can give to others, and how much he can positively affects people's lives. That is why, I teach in University as an associate professor. For the same reason, I founded MS3arab Community with two fellow MVPs (Sherif Talaat, and Ayman El Hattab) in addition to other fellow community geeks including; my brother (Mohamed Bahaa), and my friends; Mohamed Samy, & Mahmoud Ghozz." Ahmed Says.
As part of his professional work Dr. Ahmed has multiple hats; "Firstly, I work as the Principal Technical Consultant in an ALM Microsoft Gold Partner in Cairo-Egypt that is called CompuPharaohs. In CompuPharaohs we build Enterprise solutions (Usually for the Government). This includes but not limited to; Business Intelligence solutions, and ALM consultation services." Their work has been praised by many parties. For instance, they have reached the semi-finalists stage at the Worldwide BI Partner of the Year in 2008. Additionally, they have developed the Data Warehouse, and Business Intelligence for the Egyptian Ministry of Communication, and Information (MCIT) which got the first award from UN this year during UN Public Service Forum. Additionally, they have published a five stars showcase with the ALM product team. This showcase was praised by the great Brian Harry in his blog. The showcase talked about load testing the Egyptian elections system. You may find further details
. "Secondly, I work as an associate professor, in Faculty of Computers and Information, Helwan University in Cairo, Egypt. I love teaching the young talented University youth. It gives me the ability to share my knowledge with my Country's youth in a sustained and continuous way. Moreover, it opens the gate for me to lead some Research efforts in the Software Engineering, and Data Warehousing fields. Thirdly, I am member of the ISO advisory Committee in Egypt that is responsible of voting for International IT Standards, and to launch the ISO's Arabic versions of 25000-x, and 27000-x standards. Additionally, I used to be the IT advisor for the Assistant Secretary Generals of Arab League. Last but, not least, as a Microsoft RD, and MVP, I deliver many public speeches in Community, and Microsoft's technical events."
Dr. Ahmed believes that MVP award should be an award for lifetime efforts but, not a goal for a community guy. "Being an MVP is not just an award. It should be a way of life to better think for people, work with community, and to give world-class technical value to others. I can say that being MVP made my community efforts more aligned with Microsoft Corporate's technical strategies and evangelism goals. Additionally, MVP award gave me a better opportunity to be close to the ALM product team, and the ALM champs community. This helped me to get to a new level of technical depth."
Dr. Ahmed recently contributed in Middle East and Africa Visual Studio 2013 Visual studio Launch that was held in Burj Khalifa (the highest man-made building all over the world), Dubai, UAE. "I delivered a session about the new cloud-based load testing offering that comes with Visual Studio 2013 release through the usage of the new Visual Studio Online (VSO).
Additionally, I delivered a speech in the International day of Standardization in Egypt that has been honored by the attendance of HE the Egyptian Minister of Trade and Industry. The speech was about "The new game-Changing Microsoft Quality tools". Currently, I am working with some Key Governmental Executives trying to conduct a new initiative that is expected to be supported by Microsoft. If we succeeded in our efforts, we will help hundreds of entrepreneurs for having their own new businesses using Microsoft ALM tools."
Dr. Ahmed thinks that generally, each moment with a new technical achievement is a favorite MVP moment. However, he states that he has two very special MVP moments; "the first, was surely the moment that I received my first MVP award eight years ago. The second was the moment when I received an invitation to speak in Microsoft ALM Summit 3 that has been held in Microsoft Corp headquarters in Redmond. As an ALM MVP, It was a technical glorious moment."

Inventor Yang Zongfu is so convinced that the apocalypse is coming he's designed a new survival pod for the modern-day Noah.
Yang - who put his creation on show in Yiwu, in Zhejiang province, in eastern China - says he was inspired by a series of natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis that have rocked the world in recent years.
"Our planet is getting more dangerous and we all need our own emergency escape vehicle to keep us alive," he explained.
Yang's spherical pods - named the Atlantis - weigh six tons and can carry enough oxygen, water and food on board to keep three people alive for up to 10 months.
They can remain fully underwater for nearly a month and the walls are layered with asbestos and silver, so it can resist radioactive fall out after a nuclear attack.
Optional extras include a steering mechanism and a shower.
"There is nothing it cannot withstand," explained Yang.
To prove his point the inventor had himself thrown off a cliff inside one of the pods and then ordered assistants to set fire to it.
Yang has already sold 15 of the 150,000 GBP a time rescue pods to a coal mining company and is now offering them to China's multi-millionaire businessmen.
"There is no point in being wealthy if you can't live to enjoy it," he explained.

Henrico's Top Teachers – 2012
Profiles of 20 teachers who make a difference
Teachers do not seek out publicity or acclaim for what they do, but we believe they deserve to be recognized for their efforts. In our second annual 'Henrico's Top Teachers' issue, we tell the stories of 20 outstanding Henrico County teachers.
This year's class includes teachers from throughout Henrico County who teach grade levels from preschool through high school and GED. They were nominated – along with more than 200 others – by readers during the month of November.
The volume of nominations received for this section – more than double the number received for last year's inaugural issue – was overwhelming. Nominations came from parents, grandparents, colleagues, administrators – even students and former students. Paring the number of candidates to just 20 was no easy task.
We're proud to present profiles of these teachers, who were selected for inclusion in this issue based on their professional successes and their personal touches. Each one has, in his or her own unique way, touched hundreds of lives and helped mold the future of Henrico County.
