The Right to Bear Arms~

Guns and bars don't mix. In the frontier days when many men and some women carried guns just as a matter of course and necessity, guns were ofter barred in bars. Nowadays, the need for honest citizens to carry protection goes up but the laws and rules get ever more complicated. In many ways, "self defense" is a crime. I wonder what would have happened on 9/11 if ten percent of the men in the plane were carrying concealed firearms? I bet the attackers would not have tried in the first place. Few crimes are committed by concealed permit holders. I agree. That is why I wonder what this law is for really... I am not sure of the "agenda" behind this law, but I pretty much believe there is one... I think it would be interesting to hear what the law abiding citizens who have the concealed weapons permits think of the law... |

The mother does not have to pay back the state for the Medicaid or the AFDC payments she has received at least that has been my understanding when I worked with families and the system. Now, when a father is paying support, then I do believe he has rights to his child as well, (considering of course that he is not an abusive parent)... There are many advocate programs and groups that have done some pretty incredible work for the Dads who have been robbed of their right to their child. I think if I were a guy, I would have the paternity test done prior to putting my name on the birth certificate. |

I like his presentation style very much. I have the DVD of his retreat he did at Findhorn. STILLNESS AMIDST THE WORLD Findhorn Retreat Stillness Amidst the World - Findhorn Retreat is a BOOK & DVD set. Full color photos by Eckhart Tolle throughout. DVD running time: 4 hours recorded, at Findhorn Scotland. I think that he may have been on my path at the time I started reading him. I have several of Deepak's books, yet I have not made it through them. When I picked up tolle, it made more sense to me. ~~~ If someone came to you (anyone who reads this) and asked for a reference of a place to "start" learning about realizing beyond the conscious state...what would be your guidance for them? |

They could be very interesting...a Big Roma Boy perhaps!!! I bought six tomato plants this year. Where I live the growing season started so late this year...and we had a freeze in the beginning of June...so, many things are blooming late, including my tomato plants!! I wondered if those upside down tomato planters worked...I guess they do!! |

When she applied for state aid, the state probably looked on the birth certificate and the guys name was on it.. so, they went after him for support. The mother did not file anything, the state does this and the payments go to the state to "repay" the amount of support that the mother received. I am willing to bet that there was no paternity test anywhere on file, they probably used the name that was on the birth certificate. At the time, he probably thought he was the father... so, this might beg the question about having paternity established at birth...or prior to child support hearings in cases like this... I don't know... I think that he should not have to pay any arrears for sure... and really, the state was supporting the mother and child, so yes, I think the state should pay him back the money... JMO I just think the state truly doesn't give a rat's a$$ who the biological parent of any child is, they just want to get reimbursed and don't care who pays. I agree..they don't care...and if the name is on the birth certificate, the go after him period. |

The past couple of years I have been creating a new normal in my life for a variety of reasons... one thing that I have discovered is that I love to garden...at this point, I am doing non-food gardens and learning so much. I have tried over the past few years to do this, but my job had a lot of traveling in it and when I would come home on the weekend, the plants looked like ****... so, now I have been at home and I have discovered such a great satisfaction and peace from working in my gardens... What are some things that you do to make your gardening more enjoyable? What are your favorite plants/flowers? |

i believe that this court is quite cruel. i believe that he considers the child his even now, and truly is, for he has certainly paid many prices, and possibly had a major positive impact on this child's life, and possibly still does, and i'd still pay out of love if it were me, but, i'd go after the court system, and after the real father for extra help for the child, and the court needs to be far more lenient, and actually help this man in anyway possible to get on his feet, and appologize as well. seems services like that need to be re-formed, and i bet this type of thing is more common than we think. if i were him, would find other victims of this and do a class action lawsuit for fairness of victims...... I think there is a group in the state of WI... Men, both fathers and people who were thought to be the father...belong and advocate for the rights of the man. It has been very effective...I just cannot find the link to it right now... |

Here in Knoxville some bar owners are banning bringing guns into their establishments. I am very sorry but I DO NOT agree with allowing guns into bars and public places only because, today in this country we do not have sensible people and I feel it will just get out of control... that is the very reason why they need to be there the best con control law would be mandatory carry how many crimes do you think would be committed if the criminal knew that most if not all in the place might shoot them if they commit the crime I understand that thought, and I can see the rationale in it... I am not so sure I see the result the same way you do... |

I have managed a bar before...and I know that in the higher level of intoxicated intelligence...that people with a gun would not be good... I just wonder how they are going to know who has a gun and who doesn't... The insurance on a bar is going to go through the roof even more now!! I bet lawyers are just flocking to TN... There are so many gun owners that are responsible, and I am not sure that they support this... |

"I can only see half your face, and have no way of knowing if that is even a picture of you." In all fairness I don't know if that's really a picture of you either. Yes that is absolutely fair to say. At least you can see the whole face of the person i am pretending to be though! I am here to say that yes...sadly yes, that IS the real picture of the REAL Dan... That is the truth for sure... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I also like the pics of people that are random...the posed ones are just so...posed!! |

http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/news/local/story/TNs-New-Guns-in-Bars-Law-Takes-Effect/yDjhH7OopUa9zi5tg0-nGg.cspx?rss=59 MEMPHIS, TN - If you have a handgun carry permit, it is now legal in Tennessee to take a gun into a bar or restaurant where alcohol is served. The "Guns in Bars law" took effect Tuesday, July 14, 2009. A judge ruled Monday against blocking the law, citing restaurants and bars do have the right under the law to prohibit firearms. Jake Schorr, owner of Westy’s in Downtown Memphis, says he has no problem with licensed gun owners bringing their firearms into his bar. “What's good about the law is that permitted gun holders can't drink so if we see someone with a gun, we're not going to serve them,” said Schorr. Guns will not be allowed anywhere on Beale Street. Starting Friday, July 17, 2009, security officers will use hand wands to check patrons to ensure the entertainment district remains a gun-free zone. “Mixing alcohol, stepping on somebody's toe and then getting mad and they (people with guns) want to shoot somebody. No guns should not be allowed on Beale Street unless you're an officer,” said Michael Haro, Security Manager at Superior Restaurant on Beale. Authorities say handgun permit holders caught carrying a weapon into an establishment that has a "no guns allowed" sign posted will be given a misdemeanor citation. The Memphis Restaurant Association is having "no guns" decals made for members who have chosen to ban guns from their business. Until those decals arrive, the Association is offering members a temporary sign which they can print and post. I can see where there are going to be people who are served alcohol when they are carrying a concealed weapon...because the bar tender will not know... I can see a vision of the airport type security at the door of everywhere...<<<sarcastic statement, or maybe not as sarcastic as I think... |

I like Tolle, which is a statement of the obvious, duh... I did enjoy his first book, The Power of Now. I enjoyed his other works more. "Stillness Speaks" and "A New Earth", I found meaningful to myself; perhaps I am not as enlightened as Abra and JB, which is most likely the situation. I feel, sometimes, like I am learning this after a realization of some universal oneness...which makes no sense to most, if not all who read this. I am not an atheist either. I am learning each day. I may have a long way to go, in fact, I know I do. I am enjoying the journey, that is certain. Thank you both (Abra and Jeanniebean) for your thoughts and review on Tolle's first book. Thank you Massagetrade for starting the thread... Jambo! ~LHL |

I love love love da UP!!! I love the 200+ inches of snow... I love the less than 300,000 total people in the entire UP... I love the 10% of all the fresh water in the world about 150 feet from my door... I love the spring time when every possible color of green is present... I love the fall when the leaves are so incredible they look like they "glow in the dark"... I love the waterfalls, the streams, the trees... I love the summer that stays a bit cooler when other places are HOT HOT HOT... I really love the UP!!! (and yes, it is part of MI...) |
