What difference does it make if there is a Muslim community or not?  Never really thought about a wall to the north, just think there is more trouble coming in from the south, jmo. Why does the US have to let people come and go as they please?  As far as Berlin, I think there is a huge difference between a wall in a city and one dividing countries.

The problem is in the south because Canada has more free stuff than we do

Response to question from Remmus on page 1:

 

She is a beautiful second generation American.  Her family is from Matehuala, San Luis Potosi, Mexico.  White Hispanic = American citizen classified as white and of Hispanic decent. My wife says the term refers to Hispanic people with lighter skin tones and European decent, e.g., Spain, vs. Hispanics with darker skin tones and non-European decent.  My wife would be the latter...and did I say, she is beautiful!  One more time, she is beautiful.  She is more conservative than me...I'm trying to bring her over from the far right...back to the center.

Go Indians.  Peace.

From the article.....

This murder rampage was carefully planned. He flew for Alaska to FLA via MPS-St Paul. The media are portraying the shooter as 'having mental issues'. But the act was too cold and calculating for someone with mental issues.

Actually, some people with mental issues are very cunning, bordering on genius.

This is probably a reference to a case of insanity. 

Some people say that anyone committing a horrific crime has mental issues. That is likely true. This issue is not "issues" but "insanity". 

Under both state and federal statutes the term insanity when used as a defense to crime, the person committing the crime is not responsible because of "severe mental disease or defect" (TX and US both use the same term) kept the person from knowing that he was committing a crime. Ignorance of a crime is not a defense but if the person is insane and has not clue that he is committing a crime, he is not guilty. 

The careful planning and it being cold and calculated does not mean that he has no mental issues. It does mean that he can almost never have an insanity defense. There is a huge difference under criminal law between having a mental defect and due to such a defect has no clue that he is breaking a law. If a person tries to cover up a crime, plans an escape or any other such activities then he is not insane under criminal law in my opinion. Think of something that is not a crime and a normal routine. Maybe washing dishes or putting gasoline in the car for a long trip. You would not go out of your way to hide that you are washing dishes or that you are gassing up a car. The reason is that you will not go to jail for those actions. A person that is insane should have the same demeanor. He will go about a normal routine because as far as he knows, it is not a crime.

Thank you for clarifying.  I don't anybody in here would say a lighter complected person is any more beautiful than a darker complected person...just based on skin color.  Have you caught any flack from family, friends, co-workers because your wife is non-European?

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
