The reason for the "well-regulated militia" is to have the ability to stand up to an oppressive government. Put yourself in the position of the people who wrote that document... Do you think hunting was the reason they made the second amendment? What did they just finish doing? Fighting an oppressive government. The people should have the right to stand up to their government.

Tell that to the people who were victims of bombings. This should be an interesting read, even though it is from 1997.

2217 bombing incidents in one year.

You want the gun to be the problem.

I definitely think they have a responsibility to help others, but I would not go so far as to say that It should be done to prevent being looked down on. Why doesn't the football star go play catch with the geek who spent all day reading about geometry? I agree with you, but I think it needs to be done in all aspects of life that is what will advance us all.

I believe in equality as well. Everyone should work equally as hard, and get their due. I was not implying that it was any scheme to bring down the top, I was referring to the fact that any type of success is met with bullying. Now I understand you can get beyond it and become so filthy rich that you don't care, or so smart that people have no choice but listen(we could hope). I posted a provocative comment that was definitely on topic, but also to illicit conversation from the masses.

We are all in this together, and we need to start acting like it. Should the rich pay more taxes? Damn right...Should the smart kid lead the class? Do I have to ask?

Actually, I think my comment and the one from 14erCleaner are 100% on topic. Children are taught very young that to be different is to be wrong. Good grades are different from the norm unfortunately, and the kid gets pummeled for it.

People who argue about the topics we just pointed out suffer the same fate (in a way). The point is that it is a learned behavior , and starts very young.
