    It's too bad all those people who wanted blacks to be worth more than 2/3 of a person didn't take your advice back in the day. Because clearly a document written in the 18th century NEVER NEEDS TO BE REVISED AT ALL. Even your precious 2nd amendment is just that, an AMENDMENT. Do you know what that means?

    you need to study american law before you spew your BS. look up inalienable rights; then get back to me.

    Oh please. Bush comes out and sympathizes with the victim's families and then in the same breath say he supports the rights for people to carry guns!?
    So basically what he's saying is "Sorry your kids got shot, but hey, this is America! People have the right to carry firearms!" :rolleyes:

    You make me want to puke to.

    Jesus, kids and adults died today for no good reason. Focus.

    You can't be serious cincy!?!
    Did you see/hear what he said. I'm pretty sure that if ANY political figure (Rep or Dem) said what they did, the same comments would be made.

    I'm not one to just go hopping on a Bush-bashing Bandwagon, but what he did/said was fuckin' low...and to use your words...fucking pathetic.

    I agree.

    But what is appropriate to talk about?

    The whole thing is a terrible tragedy. No matter what gets brought up about it is going to remind us of the fucked up events that occured.

    30 some odd kids died...let's talk about Bush....c'mon.

    Here, I'll throw you a bone...what he said was stupid, but hardly a big deal compared to the other news. Who gives a shit...the president supports the 2nd amendment....big fucking deal.

    hmmm, let me look at my textbook... yup, the word inalienable rights is not written anywhere in the 2nd amendment. and article 5 provides very specific guidelines for amending the constitution in any way the people see fit aside from depriving a state of senate representation without its consent.

    My guess... It was Spin Control from White House Advisors. You know, because of the reaction to Hurricane Katrina was like after unattended bodies lay rotting in the streets of a major U.S. city (like some sort of Third World country)... that White House Advisors thought they'd get right on this one.
    I think it is good that our President is shows concern on a day like today... my question is the sincerity. Is it real or is it political?
    With Bush and the people around him... you never know for sure.

    Read the thread title........

    And it is a big fuckin deal. This is the deadliest school shooting in your country's history, and the president of the united states comes out and says he supports the rights to bare arms!? That's despicable! What, he couldn't wait until all the funerals are over to say something stupid??? If it was his 2 daughters that got shot, do you think he would have been jerking off the NRA??? Some things are better left unsaid.....

    I believe inalienable is in the Declaration of Independence.

    It always seems like whenever something horrible happens, people's first reaction is to overreact. I'm not trying to take anything away from the event, but for people to start pointing fingers and yelling at anyone who disagrees at this point is absurd. The only thing we (everyone!) should be doing is a) thinking and helping these poor people's families b) trying to put some calm to the situation and c) learning the facts and acting on what we learn.

    I did read the thread title...I still find it odd that someone would even care...

    But, as I said above, I'm just a bit upset about this and you are right it was a dumb comment. Anyhow, sorry I took it out on you.

    Sometimes it just seems like people are waiting for the next opportunity to bash the politician they hate and they loose site of the real issues and tragedies.
